Angie's, a fast-food chain serving lobster rolls and USDA prime steak, plans to open a restaurant at 8620 N. Beach St. in north Fort Worth. The chain opened a third North Texas location in Irving in September.

Why it matters

The expansion extends Angie's reach in North Texas, where it already operates several restaurants and offers a menu built on premium ingredients at relatively low prices. It reflects the founders' goal of making high-quality food affordable.

Angie's menu lists chicken salads from $5, steak from $7.99, salmon or shrimp at $11.49, a Maine lobster roll at $16.99, and a steak Caesar salad at $9.99. The chain operates four North Texas restaurants, and the Fort Worth opening date has not been announced.

The players

Tony Christofellis

Tony Christofellis co-founded Salad and Go with his wife, Roushan, and created Angie's in memory of his mother.

Roushan Christofellis

Roushan Christofellis co-founded Salad and Go with her husband, Tony, and helped create the Angie's restaurant concept.

The details

Angie's was created by Salad and Go founders Tony and Roushan Christofellis after the death of Tony Christofellis's mother, Angie. The chain uses self-serve kiosks, a smaller kitchen staff, non-branded packaging, and processes its ingredients at its own facilities.

Timeline

  1. September: Angie's opened its Irving restaurant.

  2. January 2027: Construction on the Fort Worth location is set to begin.

  3. End of May 2027: Construction is expected to be completed.

Culture Shift

Angie's combines premium ingredients such as USDA prime steak and Maine lobster with self-serve kiosks and lean staffing to undercut traditional sit-down pricing. The approach reflects a broader move among diners toward higher-quality fast food at accessible prices.

Fort Worth diners in the north side area will gain a nearby option for lobster rolls, steak salads, and other entrees at prices starting from $5. The restaurant's self-serve kiosk model may mean faster ordering for customers once it opens.

The takeaway

Affordable premium dining is gaining ground in fast casual, and Angie's expansion into Fort Worth offers local diners a chance to test the model once construction is complete in 2027.

What happens next

Construction on the Fort Worth Angie's is set to begin in January 2027 and wrap up by the end of May 2027.
