Founded by Lebanese immigrant Roland Beainy, the restaurant features items like the Trump Burger and the First Lady Chicken Sandwich.

With prices ranging from $5.50 to $20, the restaurant caters to various budgets but sparks mixed reviews regarding both food quality and customer experience.
Texas – A new burger chain named Trump Burger has recently opened its doors across several Texas locations, including Houston, Bellville, Flatonia, and Kemah. Founded by Lebanese immigrant Roland Beainy, the restaurant is distinctly themed around former President Donald Trump, featuring burgers branded with his name, displays of American flags, and humorous merchandise focused on Trump’s political rivals.
Trump Burger has drawn a mixed response from both patrons and critics. Many reviews of the food have described it as “consistent in blandness.” The restaurant atmosphere, dominated by Trump memorabilia, has been criticized for detracting from the dining experience. Reviewers have noted a variety of Trump-themed items, including hats promoting “Trump 2024 The Revenge Tour,” contributing to the overall ambiance. This politically charged setting could potentially alienate those who do not align with Trump’s views.
Restaurant critics have particularly scrutinized the menu offered at Trump Burger. One reviewer highlighted the lack of flavor in the signature Trump Burger, which was served with barely melted American cheese. However, the First Lady Chicken Sandwich received more favorable remarks; it was praised for its quality with a nicely grilled chicken breast topped with American cheese.
Additional critiques have come from publications reviewing the restaurant’s approach to humor. One review pointed out a menu item called the Biden Burger, humorously priced at $50.99 for a meal featuring an undersized 1-ounce beef patty. Many have suggested that the humor comes off as brutish and may further polarize the political landscape among customers.
Customer feedback has been varied, with some visitors enjoying their meals while others have expressed dissatisfaction relative to more traditional burger establishments. Prices at Trump Burger range from $5.50 to $20, with combo meals offered that include fries. The Houston location features a drive-thru, catering to the fast-food sector while maintaining the politically themed environment.
Despite facing criticism, restaurant officials have defended the mixed reviews, suggesting that they stem from perceived biases in the media against Trump supporters. The establishment is marking a unique niche that intertwines food with a political statement, reflecting the divided view of Trump’s presidency among the populace.
In summary, Trump Burger stands as an embodiment of political branding within the food industry. The chain’s operating model relies on generating a conversation around not just its food offerings but also the broader political climate. As more patrons visit the locations, opinions will likely continue to diverge regarding both the culinary quality and the appropriateness of its political messaging.
