A new Chipotle Mexican Grill with a digital drive-thru opens Thursday in Warner Robins.

The new restaurant at 781 Ga. 96 in front of Turner’s Furniture also offers dine-in, patio seating and takeout.

The fast-casual restaurant chain is known for its customizable burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas and salads built as customers go down an assembly line to choose options.

Chipotle also added late last year a new high protein menu, featuring food offerings that range from 15 to 18 grams of protein per item, according to a corporate news release.

The restaurant also is offering for a limited time chicken al pastor, one of its most requested options, and a new cilantro lime sauce.

Unlike a traditional drive-thru where orders are placed on site, a digital drive-thru lane at Chipotle allows customers to pick up food only ordered in advance through the restaurant’s app or website.

Chipotle restaurants employ about 30 people per location, with the new Warner Robins store now hiring. The other Warner Robins store is across town at 133 Margie Drive.
