Years after closing a location on Prince William Parkway in, Fuddruckers reopened Tuesday in Woodbridge.
The hamburger joint is famous for their large beef patties and fresh baked buns. They’re most famously known for the toppings bar that allows customers to pile high lettuce, tomato, onion, and several other toppings onto their freshly cooked hamburger.
At dinnertime on Tuesday, customers, in a line that stretched from the register to the front door, all waited to place thier order. Nearly all of the restaurant’s 41 tables were full with hungry diners munching on burgers and fries.
The new Fuddruckers sits inside what was Cheeseburger in Paradise, a restaurant built under the Jimmy Buffett brand name. It and a similar Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant in Fredericksburg closed.
This new Fuddruckers location is 6,523 square feet of space. Because it was retrofitted from an older restaurant, It is slightly larger than many of the new Fuddruckers being built from the ground up, said restaurant spokeswoman Rebecca Conner.
The restaurant offers bottled beers and is looking into the possibility of adding beers on tap. The eatery hopes a kids night, where children’s meals sell for 99 cents and a 20% military discount with ID, will bring in customers. The restaurant also advertises its catering business good for office parties and children’s sports teams.
After Fuddruckers, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in 2010, the old Fuddruckers location that opened in the early 1990’s, located on Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge, closed. The building was demolished, and a McDonalds built in its place.
Shortly after Fuddruckers filed bankruptcy, a new company, Luby’s, purchased the Fuddruckers brand and began expanding the chain.
