MrBeast Burger operates as a ghost kitchen, meaning it's only available via delivery services…read morebecause they operate out of another restaurant's kitchen. I had heard good things about their food from a friend so I decided to try them. I got the Karl's Deluxe (patty, cheese, caramelized onions, inverted toasted bun) and seasoned crinkle fries and the total was about $13 before Uber Eats delivery fee, tax, and tip (total ended up being $21). The main issue is the delivery only option -- due to the nature of Uber Eats, I didn't get my order for about an hour and it was cold. I don't blame the delivery driver, unfortunately this is just how it works unless you want to pay extra for delivery straight to you. The food was just okay. The burger probably would have been much better if I had gotten it fresh, but I had to reheat it in the microwave. The bun was no longer crispy. I think the cheese is American cheese singles. The fries were really good, though and reheated decently well. I checked on the MrBeast Burger franchise website and apparently you *can* order pick up instead of delivery (East River Rd and Chili Ave locations only), which is what I would do next time instead of waiting for delivery.

Suggestion would be less dressing on all perhaps with extra for the side. Overall a great kick and I'd definitely return.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because my Virgin Mary, usually one of the best around town, was off-base and the bartender would not re-make it .

I have ordered two different omelettes on two different occasions now: an egg white with spinach and mushroom and a meat lovers. Both were quite overcooked and the meat lovers seemed like a thin sheet of egg that they filled with toppings later on like a crepe. Additionally the meat lovers side of rye toast was obviously burnt but still served to me, I just ate around it for a few bites and gave up. My husband ordered fish and chips the first time - I thought the batter was tasty and enjoyed it though I think the filleting of the actual fish could have been a lot cleaner. This item is the only reason my review is not a one star, I thought it tasted good. The second time he ordered clam chowder and a salad that had chicken, fruit, nuts. The salad was fine nothing wrong but not a stand out either it seemed similar to something I'd get as a salad kit from the store. The clam chowder though was awful, so thick and gelatinous it seemed like it was canned which is already a red flag but one of those canned soups that you're supposed to add water to and like they forgot to do that part. On top of being weirdly thick it was also cold you can tell they didn't heat it thoroughly whether that was in a microwave or not though I can't really tell. I truly don't understand the hype or reviews for this restaurant given we've tried multiple items and for the most part fell flat with the sole exception of the fried fish. I was disappointed given the expectation from other reviews and unfortunately we won't be back for a third try.

Love this place! My favorite thing about this place is when we get pickles on the side just to munch on. My husband gets the plate because he loves the hot sauce. I usually get the mushroom Swiss burger. We go a couple times a month and it's always ready when I get there (we order ahead), always correct and always delicious. read more

Mac salad and tater tots are my chosen sides, opting out of the hash browns allows for a crunchier bite with those tots.

We got 2 cheeseburgers, a mac salad,1 regular fries, 1 bottled soda, and 1 small fountain drink. When we placed the order we told the girl behind the counter what we wanted on the cheeseburgers when placing the order. When they were really the girl asked what comes on the cheeseburgers? Mind you there was only 1 other person who ordered after us. Our order was to go. We had already left the restaurant. The cheeseburgers were actually not bad. Had the charlboiled look on them however they were not cooked all the way through. The fries had not seasoning on them, they were cold, and were also not even cooked all the way through. The mac salad was also very plain with no flavor. Now onto the cost of this order. 2 cheeseburgers were $14.00. Average price for 2. They give you a very small portion of mac salad not much bigger than a dime cup charging $5.10. That right there is very overpriced especially with no flavor. Just gross. 1 order of regular fries is $5.40 which is also overpriced. 1 small bottled soda was $3.49 again over priced, as well as a small fountain drink for $3.10. The total for this gross order came to $33.00. So unbelievably ridiculous. "Never Again"!!

Along with the cheesesteaks, they also have burgers, "hot plates" (kinda like a garbage plate), and finger foods like wings, mac and cheese bites, and onion rings.

I got the chicken finger sub combo with a pina colada smoothie and my boyfriend got the philly with no peppers or mushrooms. I gave him some of my fries. My chicken finger sub was piping hot. The chicken was crispy and there was plenty of lettuce and mayo like I requested. We really liked the fries, they were crispy and seasoned unlike what I've had before. I think there was turmeric on these! Very flavorful. And I loved my smoothie, it was delicious and blended well - no ice chunks or anything. My bf liked his philly, though he said for the price he said you could get better. I don't really eat philly cheesesteaks, though, so I can't speak for it besides I guess it didn't have much meat for the price.
