Hyphy Burger opened in West Oakland in February, with a grand opening set for August 2. It is co-founded by Darion Frazier, rapper Guap, and entrepreneur Zack Alwajeeh. The team has been intentional in creating the restaurant, taking years to develop the concept, recipes, and branding. The restaurant is located in a historic building and aims to serve the local community. The name reflects the cultural roots in Oakland’s hip-hop scene, particularly inspired by the Hyphy movement.
The trio has been deliberate about every step of the process, from the concept to the recipes, decor and uniforms.
We wanted to put something here for the community. This is for the Bay, by the Bay.
The restaurant's moniker is inspired by the Oakland-born style of uptempo hip-hop music and the culture behind it.
It was three years of trial and error thinking up the idea behind Hyphy and how we'd do it.
