Hoffbrau Steaks to open in Mansfield

Hey, Bud! Is Hoffbrau Steaks ever going to open another location? We love it.

—Susan, Arlington

A new Hoffbrau Steak & Grill will open in 2023 at 1101 N. Holland Drive in Mansfield, on East Broad Street at Texas 360 by the football stadium. It’ll have a larger bar and a huge patio. Hoffbrau, the popular mid-price steakhouse with locations in Benbrook, Granbury and Haltom City, also will move the latter location to a larger space on Loop 820.

Curbside or dine-in, stay safe

Hey, Bud! What do we do now?

—Still wearing my mask

Some restaurateurs report they now have more curbside and drive-thru diners than indoor customers. Texas doesn’t allow many COVID-related health orders anymore, so (1) wear a tight mask except when eating, (2) avoid crowds or strangers and (3) get your dining companions vaxxed and boosted.
