Hoover’s beloved family‑run burger joint, Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Co., announced today that it has relocated to a new address on John Hawkins Parkway. After five years at 2341 John Hawkins Parkway in the Lake Crest Plaza shopping center, the restaurant will now operate from 2801 John Hawkins Parkway, a site that sits next to Tortugas and directly across the parkway from Academy Sports.
Local roots and entrepreneurial spirit
Brothers Ben and Zac Williams, natives of nearby Hueytown, founded Whiskey Foxtrot in 2021 with a clear vision: to create a neighborhood burger restaurant that reflects their love of movies, pop culture, and music. The Williams brothers have emphasized that the business is locally owned and family‑operated, a point of pride for the community that has embraced the eatery’s casual, family‑friendly atmosphere.
What the new location offers
The new Hoover site provides a larger dining area and increased parking, allowing the restaurant to better serve its growing clientele. Patrons can continue to enjoy the same menu highlights that have made Whiskey Foxtrot a local favorite, including American Wagyu beef burgers, all‑beef hot dogs served on King’s Hawaiian rolls, hand‑cut fries, a variety of sandwiches, and a rotating selection of craft beers.
Expansion across the Birmingham metro area
Since its inception, Whiskey Foxtrot has expanded beyond its original Hoover location. The brand now operates two restaurants in the Birmingham metro area, with a second location in Homewood remaining open and thriving. The move to a larger Hoover venue underscores the company’s confidence in the local market and its commitment to providing quality food in a family‑oriented setting.
Community impact
Local business leaders have praised the relocation as a sign of continued economic vitality in Hoover. The new site is expected to generate additional employment opportunities and increase foot traffic for neighboring businesses. The Williams brothers have expressed gratitude to longtime customers and invited the community to celebrate the grand opening with special promotions and live music, reflecting the restaurant’s ongoing dedication to community engagement.
Practical details
Customers can reach the restaurant at 205‑536‑6172 or visit the website whiskeyfoxtrotbham.com for hours, menu updates, and upcoming events. The move is effective immediately, and the team is eager to welcome both familiar faces and new guests to the expanded space.
