When I lunched at Mr. Beast Burger recently, I found it to be a breath of fresh air with its array of all-American burgers, sandwiches, and fries. The menu option and its cost differed a bit depending on the location, with this particular joint boasting a drool-worthy .
While Mr. Beast Burger has its roots in the virtual restaurant concept, it was intriguing to step into the fast-food outfit owned by YouTube sensation, Mr.Beast or Jimmy Donaldson if you will. Jimmy got his laurels from Forbes in January 2022, as the highest-earning creator on the popular video-sharing site.
The fast-food franchise joined forces with Virtual Dining Concepts in 2020, working out of already running restaurant kitchens. This concept was quite fascinating, with these "ghost kitchens" preparing the food that can only be ordered via partner third-party delivery apps or the MrBeast Burger app.
So where can I find a Mr. Beast Burger?
Well, Mr. Beast Burger is featured in over 1000 locations globally. This includes the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, the UAE, Puerto Rico, and even parts of Asia. Remember, though, the joints are exclusively delivery only. So all you need to do is order through the MrBeast Burgers app, or via third-party delivery apps at designated locations.
And if the grapevine is to be believed, there are plans afoot to broaden the chain further with more virtual kitchens.
So What Sets Mr. Beast Burger Apart?
I discovered that the best thing about Mr. Beast Burger is how they have positioned themselves in the American classic fast-food restaurant market with their unique "ghost kitchen" concept. As of September 2022, they have only one physical location in the U.S., with the rest functioning through established restaurant kitchens.
This essentially means that these restaurant kitchens are licensed to prepare the Mr. Beast Burger's menu, pulling in some extra income for themselves from the license. However, in-house customers at these specific kitchens cannot order MrBeast menu; it’s strictly a pick-up or delivery deal, with orders only possible through the app or delivery apps.
The meal at Mr. Beast was backed up by a straightforward and no-nonsense menu offering 4 classic burger options, fries, and three kinds of sandwiches. The simplified menu is deliberately aimed to cater to Mr. Beast's YouTube following, which consists of the young and hip early to late 20-somethings.
The YouTube star cooked up a restaurant concept that hit the sweet spot with his teeming 163 million followers, and in just 2 short years, it went from a mere 300 locations in the U.S. at launch to over 1000 global locations.
At Mr. Beast, the menu is broken down into three simple categories: Burgers, Sandwiches, and Fries. So what’s cooking?
In the burger corner, there are 4 delicious options: the Beast Style, the Chandler Style, the Chris Style, and the Karl's Deluxe. They are all named in homage to Mr. Beast's real-life best buddies. The burgers are all made of juicy smashed beef patties, with extras including everything from melted American cheese to mayo, pickles, mustard, caramelized onions, bacon, and even fries. Mm..mm.
What about Vegan or Vegetarian Options at Mr. Beast Burger?
For the vegan friends, the Crinkle Fries and Signature Fries are the go-to menu items, made from potatoes and perfectly seasoned. Meanwhile, the vegetarian buddies can get the Impossible Burger menu, which swaps the smashed beef patties with delicious soy protein-based Impossible patties.
How About Mr. Beast Burger's Opening Hours?
Do note that Mr. Beast Burger's operations are contingent on the "ghost kitchens" hours of operation.
Is There a Physical Location of Mr. Beast Burger?
Well, Mr. Beast Burger does have a single physical location that opened its doors in September 2022 at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The joint welcomes customers from Monday to Sunday from 11 am to 9 pm. Of course, this location strictly offers dine-in.
So How Do I Order from Mr. Beast Burger?
I personally recommend ordering the mouthwatering Mr. Beast Burger menu by downloading their proprietary app, MrBeast Burger, onto your phone or other devices. The app will ask for certain details like your location and order, and once it’s filled out, you then pay for your food and place your order. It’s that simple!
Alternatively, you can also order through third-party delivery apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or GrubHub in the U.S. Other countries might have different delivery app partnerships. Just search "Mr. Beast Burger" on your preferred delivery platform.
