The BD's Story: The Original Create-Your-Own Stir-Fry Since 1992
August 20, 2026
It started with one big grill
BD’s Mongolian Grill has been the original create-your-own stir-fry restaurant since 1992. The idea was simple and a little bit theatrical: hand you a bowl, open up a fresh market bar of vegetables, proteins, sauces, and spices, and let you build exactly the meal you’re craving — then cook it in front of you on a sizzling, round grill.
That interactive, made-your-way experience is still the heart of BD’s. No two bowls have to be alike, and half the fun is watching the chefs work the grill.
Chef-driven, and always evolving
In 2017, BD’s joined Dallas-based Mongolian Concepts alongside sister brands, and in 2021 the parent company brought on Gregg Majewski, former CEO of Jimmy John’s, as CEO. Since then, BD’s has leaned into quality — fresher ingredients, new sauces and flavors, and a lineup of exclusive, Chef-crafted Signature Stir-Fry bowls for guests who’d rather let the kitchen do the building.
Today BD’s is part of the Craveworthy Brands family, serving a full menu of bowls, ramen, starters, desserts, and craft cocktails from a full bar.
Two ways to eat, one BD’s experience
Come in and build your own from the market bar, or order a Signature bowl like Mongolian Beef or General Tso’s Chicken and let the chefs handle it. Either way, you get the fun, fresh, sure-to-Create-A-Stir experience BD’s has been known for since day one.
