Better Burgers Opens at Former Hunter House Site With Signs Declaring No Affiliation

The property owner says the new tenant will serve only until construction starts on a planned mixed-use project.

Overview

  • The restaurant began a quiet soft opening this week at 35075 Woodward Avenue in downtown Birmingham.
  • The return of the building’s “Hamburgers” sign led some passersby to assume Hunter House had moved back, prompting posted notices stating “We are Better Burgers.”
  • Manager Mikos Plumaj said the team opened to test operations and is running 24 hours a day with a compact diner menu.
  • Staff have told confused customers that Hunter House now operates at 33900 Woodward Avenue and is separate from the new restaurant.
  • Hunter House says it is cooking at the new site while work continues on its new building, and no construction timeline has been given for redeveloping the old corner.
