This Wednesday, Graffiti Burger will be opening up their second restaurant at 1505 West 5th Avenue, in the 5XNW neighborhood. The original Dublin location has become a bit of a cult favorite here on Columbus Underground, and this new location promises more of the same: black angus burgers, fresh-cut fries, and hand-dipped milkshakes.
The burger concept was launched earlier this year through a business partnership between Jim Torski, the former VP of operations with Cameron Mitchell, and George Tanchevski, founder of Aladdin’s and Giorgio.
Customers of Graffiti Burger have often compared the food to that of Five Guys or In-N-Out Burger. The limited menu choices and higher-quality ingredients keeps the experience much more focused than the more traditional fast food burger chains.
Both locations are housed in recently closed Starbucks coffee shops. If this is any sort of trend, then perhaps we might see additional Graffiti Burger locations opening in The Short North, Worthington, Westerville and on East Main Street where other Starbucks have recently closed. Speculation aside, the owners have publicly hinted that their next location will be in the University District near OSU.
