Austin-based P. Terry’s Burger Stand has opened its newest location in Richmond’s Aliana neighborhood, marking its third outpost in the Greater Houston area and second within the city of Richmond.
The menu includes all-natural Black Angus beef burgers, hand-cut fries, crispy chicken sandwiches and milkshakes. Breakfast sandwiches are also served daily until 11 a.m.
“Richmond is a thriving, fast-growing community and we are thrilled to be a part of the growth,” said Monty Montgomery, P. Terry’s vice president. “Richmond’s continued development with excellent connectivity to surrounding areas, and proximity to major thoroughfares make it a strategic location for expanding our footprint in the Greater Houston area.”
The new P. Terry’s at 10305 W. Grand Parkway South opened on July 21, just a few miles from the first Richmond location on FM 723.
“The success of our first Richmond stand, which opened in October 2024, was a clear signal that the community was ready for more,” Montgomery said. “This second burger stand location not only helps serve more guests during peak times but also reinforces our long-term commitment to being part of Richmond’s growth story.”
Miracle Wright, a manager at the new location, said the Double Cheeseburger and Crispy Chicken Burger are among the bestsellers so far.
Since opening day, the drive-thru had seen a steady stream of customers eager to get their hands on P. Terry’s burgers, fries, and shakes, Wright said.
P. Terry’s also offers a veggie burger – a blend of brown rice, cremini mushrooms simmered in cream, black beans, oats, onions, cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley. For those avoiding gluten or seeking a lighter option, burgers can be served in a lettuce wrap or bun-less in a clamshell container.
The restaurant is drive-thru and walk-up only; there is no indoor seating.
Staffed by about 45 employees –all local hires – the Aliana location is still looking to expand its team. “The response from the area has been pretty good,” Wright said. “The guests keep coming, and we’re still hiring.”
Founded by Kathy and Patrick Terry in 2005 in Austin, the burger chain was inspired by Patrick’s nostalgia for the small-town burger joints of his childhood.
“This is our third store in this area,” said Patrick Terry in a statement. “I want everyone in Houston to know that right now we are concentrating on the west side of the city and we are heading central. You just gotta give us a little more time.”
P. Terry’s now operates more than 35 locations across Texas. Its next outpost – Stand #38 – is already under construction and slated to open at 20103 Bridgeland Creek Parkway in Cypress.
