Wahlburgers, the Boston-based burger franchise from the celebrity Wahlberg family, is coming to Charlotte.

Yeah, that Wahlberg family. Brothers Donnie (of NKOTB fame), Mark (award-winning actor) and Paul (Wahlburger executive chef and founder) opened the first restaurant location in Boston in 2011 and are gearing up for major expansion.

There are currently 9 locations listed on their website but they’ve released a string of announcements planning for 100 to 150+ new Wahlburgers in the next five years.

This includes plans for four locations here in the Carolinas, one of which will be in Charlotte.

The casual, family-friendly restaurant serves burgers (obviously), sandwiches, salads and desserts.

Burgers made from Creekstone Farms Black Angus Beef are the star of the show and family favorites (like the BBQ Bacon Burger) are highlighted on the menu. They’ve got one portobello-based vegetarian option and gluten-free options are also available. On the website, the restaurant is described as “a working-class organization, rooted at our family’s kitchen table.”

No word yet on when the Charlotte location will open or where it’ll be located, but in the meantime you can get your Wahlburgers fill by way of the family’s reality show on A&E.

The Emmy-nominated show, now in its fifth season, is a behind-the-scenes look at the family-run restaurant operation. You can stream full episodes here.
