Bubba's 33 Is Coming to Grand Prairie, Texas: Opening Timeline, Location, Menu, and Everything We Know So Far


Grand Prairie's restaurant scene continues to grow, and another well-known name is officially on the way.


Bubba's 33, the fast-growing restaurant concept from the same parent company behind Texas Roadhouse, is planning a brand-new location in Grand Prairie. Construction documents have been filed, the project timeline has been established, and local residents can begin looking forward to another family-friendly dining destination in one of North Texas' fastest-growing entertainment corridors.


Whether you're a longtime Bubba's 33 fan or you've never visited one before, here's everything currently confirmed about the new Grand Prairie location.


Bubba's 33 Is Officially Coming to Grand Prairie

Construction records filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation show a new Bubba's 33 restaurant is planned for the southeast corner of State Highway 161 and Warrior Trail in Grand Prairie.


The project calls for a brand-new 7,105-square-foot sit-down restaurant, adding another major dining option to one of the city's fastest-developing areas near EpicCentral and other popular attractions.


While the company has not yet announced an official grand opening date, the construction schedule provides a strong indication of when customers may be able to walk through the doors.


Expected Construction Timeline

According to state construction filings:

  • Construction Start: May 18, 2026

  • Estimated Construction Completion: November 9, 2026

  • Estimated Project Cost: Approximately $750,000 


It's important to note that construction completion is not the same as an opening date. Restaurants typically require final inspections, equipment installation, staff hiring, employee training, and health department approvals before opening to the public.

If construction stays on schedule, Grand Prairie could potentially welcome Bubba's 33 in late 2026.


Where Will Bubba's 33 Be Located?

The restaurant will be built at the:

Southeast Corner of State Highway 161 & Warrior Trail


This location places Bubba's 33 near several of Grand Prairie's biggest destinations, including:

  • EpicCentral

  • Bolder Adventure Park

  • Andretti Indoor Karting & Games

  • Chicken N Pickle

  • IKEA

  • Existing restaurants along SH 161

  • Growing residential communities


The area has become one of the city's premier entertainment and dining districts, making it an ideal location for a sports-oriented restaurant.


What Is Bubba's 33?

If you've never visited Bubba's 33, think of it as a combination of:

  • Scratch kitchen

  • Sports bar

  • Family restaurant

  • Pizza restaurant

  • Burger restaurant

  • American grill


The concept was founded in 2013 by the Texas Roadhouse family of restaurants and was named after 1933, the year Prohibition ended in the United States. Since then, Bubba's 33 has expanded across multiple states while maintaining its focus on made-from-scratch food, sports viewing, and a fun atmosphere.


What's on the Menu?

One reason Bubba's 33 has developed a loyal following is its broad menu. Signature offerings include:


Half-Pound Burgers

Bubba's 33 is especially known for its juicy Angus beef burgers made fresh to order.

Popular options include:

  • Classic cheeseburgers

  • Bacon burgers

  • Mushroom Swiss burgers

  • Specialty signature burgers


Stone-Baked Pizza

Unlike many sports bars, Bubba's 33 prepares hand-stretched pizza dough daily before baking pizzas in stone ovens.


Scratch-Made Appetizers

Guests can also expect favorites such as:

  • Wings

  • Onion rings

  • Fried pickles

  • Mozzarella sticks

  • Loaded fries


Steaks & Entrées

Because the brand comes from the Texas Roadhouse family, steaks remain an important part of the menu alongside chicken, sandwiches, salads, and comfort-food favorites.


Drinks

The restaurant also offers:

  • Craft beer

  • Domestic beer

  • Cocktails

  • Margaritas

  • Soft drinks

  • Specialty beverages


Why Grand Prairie Makes Sense

Grand Prairie has become one of the fastest-growing entertainment destinations in North Texas.

Within just a few miles, visitors can enjoy attractions such as:

  • Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark

  • Bolder Adventure Park

  • Chicken N Pickle

  • Andretti Indoor Karting & Games

  • IKEA

  • Texas Trust CU Theatre

  • EpicCentral


Adding Bubba's 33 gives residents and visitors another casual dining option close to these attractions.

As more families spend weekends exploring Grand Prairie, demand for restaurants continues to grow.


What Makes Bubba's 33 Different?

Unlike many chain restaurants, Bubba's 33 emphasizes preparing much of its food from scratch every day.

According to the company, many sauces, dressings, pizza dough, burgers, and other menu items are made in-house rather than shipped pre-made.

The atmosphere is equally important.


Guests can expect:

  • Dozens of televisions showing live sports

  • Rock-and-roll themed décor

  • Family-friendly seating

  • Large booths

  • Casual environment suitable for lunch, dinner, and game days


Another Win for Grand Prairie

The addition of Bubba's 33 reflects the continued momentum of Grand Prairie's growth.

Over the past few years, the city has attracted new restaurants, entertainment venues, retail development, and residential communities, making it one of the most active growth markets in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.


For residents, every new restaurant provides additional dining choices, creates jobs, and strengthens the city's reputation as a destination rather than simply a suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth.


What Happens Next?

Over the coming months, visitors should begin seeing visible construction progress at the site.


As opening day gets closer, Bubba's 33 is expected to announce:

  • Hiring events

  • Staff recruitment

  • Grand opening celebrations

  • Official opening date

  • Community events

We'll continue monitoring the project and provide updates as new information becomes available.


Final Thoughts

Grand Prairie's dining scene continues to evolve, and Bubba's 33 is shaping up to be one of the city's most anticipated restaurant openings.

With scratch-made burgers, hand-stretched pizzas, steaks, wings, cold drinks, and a sports-focused atmosphere, the new location should become another popular gathering place for families, sports fans, and visitors exploring Grand Prairie's growing entertainment district.

If construction remains on schedule, residents may be enjoying Bubba's 33 before the end of the year.
