Capone’s Hideout in Burleson, TX

Capone’s Hideout is a new restaurant and bar under construction at 136 W. Bufford St in Burleson, Johnson County. The project involves the new construction of a 2,125 sq ft facility, with an estimated cost of $1,000,000. This translates to a cost of $471 per square foot, a figure that sits above the county median of $133 for similar new construction filings in Johnson County.

The owner of record is Marline Twenty Seven, LLC. This entity holds one other TDLR-registered project in the same city, also valued at $1,000,000, which has already closed. The current registration for Capone’s Hideout was filed in October 2025. TDLR completed the plan review phase in October 2025, clearing the path for physical construction to begin in December 2025. The project is scheduled to finish in December 2026, representing a build window of 365 days, which is longer than the 222-day median for new construction projects in the county.
