Nation’s Giant Hamburgers, a popular California-based fast food diner chain founded in 1952, is expanding to Dallas-Fort Worth in 2024 with two new locations.

The quick service restaurants, opening in Frisco and Arlington, will offer a range of American food including burgers, breakfast and pies. The famous hamburgers consist of a 1/3 pound all-beef patty served on a toasted bun with tomatoes, lettuce, onions and dressing.
