'The rest is history': Mister Sizzle's plans to open a third location, this time in the Southtowns

HAMBURG, N.Y. (WKBW) — A little extra sizzle is coming to the Southtowns.

Mister Sizzle's announced on social media it is expanding again, this time to Buffalo Street in Hamburg.

The restaurant and bar, which serves up a mouth-watering menu of burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, milkshakes and cocktails, is already in the process of turning a former bank into its first Northtowns location on Transit Road in Clarence.

The "fast-casual" concept has been turning heads since opening its first location on Buffalo's West Side in 2021.

"I always used to say, 'If you put a bar in a McDonald's it would be a home run,' and essentially that was it. Just putting a bar in a fast-casual burger joint. The rest is history," said Chris Casas, co-owner of Mister Sizzle's.

Everything at Mister Sizzle's revolves around the restaurant's slogan of "Buffalo Since Always."

Chris teamed up with his wife Casey, both Buffalo natives, to put a Queen City spin on everything from the atmosphere, to the bar program and the celebrated menu.

"We just really want to execute and put out a great product. It's fried chicken sandwiches, burgers, milkshakes and fries," said Chris.

There is no opening date yet for either location, but they are shooting for the summer for both the Clarence and Hamburg locations.

"We are shooting for summertime for both. We have some really cool fresh menu items coming out, so we are going to be dropping the new menu in the next month or two," said Chris.
