President Donald Trump loves a good burger.
And now there’s a chain of burger joints themed around the president that are gaining mega popularity.
A Lebanese immigrant named Roland Beainy reportedly opened the restaurant chain, “Trump Burger,” featuring burgers branded with the president’s name, American flags, and joke items themed around his Democratic rivals.

Trump, who famously loves McDonald’s burgers, has a burger of his namesake at the chain.
The chain currently has multiple locations in Texas, and food reviewers have offered their opinions on both the food and the politics of the new chain.
A Houston-area food critic dubbed Trump Burger’s signature item as “consistent in its blandness,” and criticized the Philly cheesesteak for its “stingy portions.”
But, he praised the “First Lady Chicken Sandwich” as being “better than the burger, with a nicely grilled, not-too-dry chicken breast draped with two slices of American cheese.”
He also praised the milkshake for having an all-American appeal.
“My dining companion and I agreed Trump Burger’s use of Brenham-born Blue Bell for the milkshakes was a highlight,” he wrote. “The simple-yet-classic preparation with ice cream, milk and whipped cream on top seemed as all-American as the U.S. flags blanketing the restaurant.”
Eater Houston food critic Brittany Britto Garley was far more explicit about her views on Trump, noting that the Trump Burger owner “has said he thinks Trump greatly improved the economy during his first presidency (spoiler: he didn’t).”
Garley referred to the humor of the restaurant as “brutish” with its inside jokes geared toward a Trump-supporting clientele.
“As with most aspects of Trump Burger, a menu isn’t just a menu. It takes jabs and attempts to drive political points home with brutish humor. The Biden Burger, which is reportedly the ‘Harris Burger’ on its Houston menu, features a 1-ounce beef patty topped with ‘old tomato’ and ‘the oldest buns available due to cheating and inflation.’ Listed under an illustration of former President Joe Biden with a red X over his face, the burger is priced at a very random $50.99,” Garley wrote. “‘It’s a joke,’ a cashier said when I asked if it was a real dish to order.”
When reached out for comment, an official for Trump Burger told Fox News some of the reviews aren’t surprising due to the liberal bent of some news outlets.
“The Houston Chronicle maintains a predominantly liberal stance, so we expected nothing less than a biased take on anything bearing the Trump name,” the Trump Burger official said.
