PROJECTS
Threadgill’s,
Among its many food service and retail projects, Hatch Partnership led the design of two of Austin’s most popular restaurants – Threadgill’s restaurant and Threadgill’s World Headquarters.
Threadgill’s restaurant was created in 1982 through a renovation of the building that for 40 years had housed the legendary roadhouse/gas station operated by Kenneth Threadgill. When the renovation began in 1981, the building had deteriorated in a vacant state for seven years, during which a fire had damaged it even further. The renovations included structural alterations to provide adequate restaurant seating and the addition of a 1930’s-era stainless steel diner-like structure alongside the existing building – while at the same time maintaining and reinforcing the original roadhouse feel of the establishment.

The interior finishes were selected to enhance the roadhouse/gas station/diner ambience and to feature the owner’s extensive collections of neon signs and Texas tavern memorabilia. Even after twenty years and subsequent updates and additions, the building maintains its strong roots in the Texas roadhouse tradition.
