Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay is set to make its debut in Washington State with a new location inside the Muckleshoot Casino Resort. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the brand, extending its reach further west than ever before. The opening aligns with the growing popularity of the brand and is part of a broader strategy to enhance dining options within the region.
The new restaurant will offer guests an array of Bobby Flay’s signature dishes, emphasizing classic comfort food elevated with bold flavors and high-quality ingredients. Among the highlights on the menu are the Bacon Crunchburger, the Nacho Burger, and the award-winning Veggie Burger, which gained recognition from the “Beat Bobby Flay” television series. Guests will also find made-from-scratch sides like Buttermilk Onion Rings and Sweet Potato Fries, along with a variety of milkshake flavors including Pistachio, Cookies and Cream, and Dark Chocolate.
A Premier Destination for Dining and Entertainment
The Muckleshoot Casino Resort, located at 2402 Auburn Way S, near the picturesque Mt. Rainier, is the largest casino resort in Washington. With a sprawling 157,000-square-foot gaming floor, the resort features over 3,400 gaming machines, 67 table games, one of the largest smoke-free gaming areas, and a sportsbook. The resort also boasts an 18-story hotel with 401 luxurious rooms and suites, a resort-style pool, a full-service spa, and a rooftop steakhouse.
Recognized for its excellence, Muckleshoot recently received accolades as the Best Casino and Best Resort in the Pacific Northwest by readers of The Seattle Times. The resort attracts over 25,000 guests weekly and operates around the clock, making it a prime location for Bobby Flay’s culinary offerings.
Tim Perkins, CEO of Muckleshoot Casino Resort, expressed enthusiasm about this partnership. “We’re proud to bring Bobby’s Burgers to Muckleshoot,” he stated. “This collaboration underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering the very best in guest experiences. Bobby Flay’s curated menu of top-quality burgers and unmatched flavor further enhances Muckleshoot’s standing as one of Washington’s premier destinations for dining and entertainment.”
Michael McGill, President of Bobby’s Burgers, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the shared vision between both brands. “It’s been incredible working with the Muckleshoot Casino Resort team,” McGill remarked. “They reflect our passion for exceptional food and unforgettable guest experiences. We’re looking forward to growing together and serving visitors of Muckleshoot for years to come.”
Rapid Growth and Future Plans
Since the launch of its flagship restaurant in Charlotte less than two years ago, Bobby’s Burgers has experienced rapid growth with additional locations in Orem, Utah, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, which opened on November 22, 2023. This latest opening marks the brand’s tenth location and is part of ongoing development deals in Arizona and Canada. The Muckleshoot Casino Resort location will represent the eleventh Bobby’s Burgers in total.
Bobby Flay, co-founder and namesake of the brand, expressed excitement about this new venture, stating, “Opening inside Muckleshoot Casino Resort is an exciting move in our expansion across North America and beyond. We can’t wait for guests in Washington to get Crunchified.”
This expansion not only enhances the culinary landscape within the region but also reinforces Bobby Flay’s commitment to offering dining experiences that combine quality and enjoyment for all guests.
