Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Co., the popular family-owned burger joint, is moving its original restaurant on John Hawkins Parkway in Hoover to a more centrally located space on the same road.

If all goes as planned, they will move to the new spot at 2801 John Hawkins Parkway next to Tortugas Pizza at the end of August.

Ben Williams, the owner and operator of Whiskey Foxtrot said they will always have a soft spot for their original location at 2341 John Hawkins Parkway, which was their home for five years.

The main reason they are moving to the new location is because it is more “Hoover-centric,” Williams says.

“We’re moving up 150, but instead of being, on the outskirts of Interstate 459, we’re between 459 and 31, which I feel like is the heart of that corridor. We’re excited about it.”

What is on the Whiskey Foxtrot menu

If you haven’t been to Whiskey Foxtrot, which also has a second location in Homewood, you are in for a treat.

They keep the menu tight — American Wagyu Beef burgers and quarter-pound hot dogs — but every item is thoughtfully original. 

Some of their most popular specialty items include:

  • Classic smash burger called the Foxtrot – their bestseller
  • Specialty burgers – nearly a dozen original creations with names like Fat Elvis, The Patriot, Triple Lindy and The Buccaneer – view the full specialty burger menu
  • Gourmet hot dogs – 7 different options – view the full hot dog menu

And don’t forget the fries. 

“We do them the old school way. We cut them, wash (soak) them for 30 minutes and then fry them twice before they go to the table.”

Ben Williams, the owner and operator of Whiskey Foxtrot
