Burger King on Interstate 35 (Waco, Texas)

Unknown source—if it was Loopnet it's not there now. Located at 1500 N. Interstate 35, this restaurant was built and opened in 1991 as a Burger King and closed at YE 2019 or early 2020 based on my estimations. After renovations, it re-opened as the Waco original "Hawk's Hot Chicken" in early 2021 but it closed around fall 2022.

As Hawk's the building was modified but you can immediately see one of the problems of the new restaurant with Street View; construction of I-35 cut off their main access for a time.

Jakes Burgers opened a year after the demise of Hawk's, and as of January 2026, still operates. Sharing the block are two other restaurants. Schlotzsky's Deli, as the chain was known back then, opened at 1508 I-35 in 1996. Since then, it has has just had updates as corporate policy has dictated (to the "lotz better" prototype in the early 2010s, which dropped the "Deli" name, and immediately next to that is Fuego Tortilla Grill (1524 S. I-35). This taco shop was built on the site of Legends Cycle, which moved out in the early 2010s. Prior to that, it was Euro Shop, which was another motorcycle dealership until the partnership disintegrated and the business partners went separate ways (that was 2011), and back in the 1990s was Harley-Davidson of Waco before they moved in 2003 (see further down in this page). It had moved here from 928 North Valley Mills Drive. In late 2013, the building was torn down, and the new Fuego Tortilla Grill opened in August 27th 2015, the fourth location in the chain and second in Waco, though Fuego's dual-location presence in Waco only lasted a year.
