Biscuit Bar, a renowned Texas restaurant chain, has announced the closure of all its businesses after seven years of service. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year, but mounting financial pressures and internal disputes ultimately led to a full shutdown.
Biscuit Bar is Closing After 7 Years in Business
Founded by Jake and Janie Burkett, Biscuit Bar opened its first brick-and-mortar location in 2018. The restaurant was opened with the intention of serving comfort food and bringing the community together.
The restaurant first opened at Granite Park in Plano, Texas, and later expanded to six additional locations. The establishment was popular for its breakfast biscuit sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, biscuit French toast, and other dishes.
In a recent Instagram post, the restaurant stated, “It is with the heaviest hearts that we share that after seven years of serving the DFW area and Abilene, The Biscuit Bar has closed its doors effective immediately.”
The owners said the closure has been difficult for staff and noted they are working to support employees during the transition.
“To support them, a GoFundMe has been created by trusted third-party organizers, with one hundred percent of donations going directly to our employees,” said the owners.
Failed Bankruptcy Sale Forces Biscuit Bar to Close
Biscuit Bar has faced ongoing financial challenges for several years, struggling as an independent restaurant amid rising costs and supply chain issues through 2025.

In 2025, the restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 to “rebuild and secure the future of our employees.”
The restaurant explained, “A respected restaurant group stepped forward, committed to acquiring and growing The Biscuit Bar. The sale was structured, terms were agreed upon, and the closing was set for December.” However, the deal fell through due to internal disputes, as several stakeholders opposed the decision.
“This included a few landlords whose participation was essential. Their refusal to compromise or support a path forward ultimately made the sale impossible, leaving us with no legal or financial ability to continue operating,” said the restaurant.
The plan collapsed on December 11, when Biscuit Bar filed a motion to convert its Chapter 11 case to Chapter 7, electing to close and liquidate the business rather than reorganize or sell it.
The closure follows a failed sale process during bankruptcy proceedings, compounded by ongoing financial challenges.
