MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes: Texas-Style Better Burgers Made Fresh Daily

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes brings its build-your-own burger concept to Wellington, joining a national fast-casual chain known for made-to-order patties, hand-cut fries, and real ice cream shakes. Located along State Road 7, the Wellington restaurant is part of a growing South Florida footprint for the Texas-born brand.

A Texas Concept Built on Fresh, Never-Frozen Beef

MOOYAH was founded in 2007 in Plano, Texas, by Rich Hicks and Todd Istre. The chain built its reputation on burgers made with Certified Angus Beef that is never frozen, paired with hand-cut fries and milkshakes blended from real ice cream. Locations bake their own buns in house, a practice the company adopted in 2011, and offer a rotating lineup of sauces so guests can customize each order. MOOYAH grew into a franchise operation with restaurants across the United States and abroad, and in 2017 the company was acquired by private equity firms Gala Capital Partners and Balmoral Funds, which continued expanding the brand under its original better-burger positioning.

Expanding Its Reach Across Palm Beach County

The Wellington restaurant is part of a multi-unit development plan led by franchisee Marc Verderame, a veteran restaurant operator who signed on to open roughly 15 MOOYAH locations throughout Palm Beach County over the coming decade, starting with a Boca Raton restaurant in 2023. Menu options at MOOYAH locations have included specialty builds like the bacon-and-jalapeño Double Diablo and the hot dog-topped Hamburdog, alongside lighter choices such as paleo-style burgers, gluten-free buns, and plant-based patties for guests seeking alternatives to a traditional beef burger.
