About

Rules were
meant to
be broken.

Bad Burger started as an act of rebellion against the bland, the predictable, and the reasonable. We crafted a brand where flavor gets reckless and expectations get wrecked.

Each item is intentionally daring — pushing boundaries with crave-worthy toppings and punchy flavors. Our story began when our founder decided to chase a passion for doing things differently. It was risky, bold, and just a little bit bad.

But that's exactly why we're here.

[ 01 ] VALUE

Smash
Hard.

Double patties on a blazing flattop. Salt. Sear. A crust you can hear. Bun toasted until it remembers who it is.

[ 02 ] VALUE

Say
Something.

Every item on the menu has a point of view. No beige combos. No polite toppings. Hot honey, flamin' cheeto dust, ghost pepper cheese — sentences, not adjectives.

[ 03 ] VALUE

Feed
the Riot.

We show up for the after-shift crew, the post-breakup four-seater, the wedding rehearsal gone wrong. You bring the hunger, we bring the chaos.

[ 04 ] The Cast

Meet the
mascots.

Two characters. One sermon. They show up on every menu, every cup, every sign, every t-shirt — a little devil on your shoulder saying what if you just… did the bad thing.

Run
the joint.

Open your own Bad Burger. Bring our brand, our menu, and our chaos to your city. We'll hand you the keys to the asylum.

Exhibit A

The food fights back.

Smash burgers. Spicy chicken. Dirty soda. Hand-cut spuds. A menu engineered to print.

Exhibit B

The brand sticks.

Devil mascots. Chaos Club. A voice that gets posted, screenshotted, and repeated until your city knows the name.

Exhibit C

The system runs itself.

Build-out, vendor list, training, ops manual, marketing kit. You don't get a logo. You get the playbook.

The rules of the racket.

What counts as a visit?

One purchase per calendar day, across all locations. Online and in-store both count. Order size doesn't matter — a Dirty Dip is the same as a Combo.

Can I climb tiers by spending instead of visiting?

Yes. Misdemeanor unlocks at 10 visits or $200 spent. Felon unlocks at 25 visits or $500 spent. Whichever comes first.

Do my points expire?

Points stay live as long as you've ordered something within the last 12 months. Go silent for a year and they're gone.

Once I'm a Felon, can I lose it?

No. Tiers are permanent — Misdemeanor and Felon both. Once you're in, the rap sheet doesn't get cleared.

When do birthday and anniversary rewards land?

Auto-applied to your account on the day. Single-use, valid 14 days. No code, no coupon — just claim it on your next order.

Can I stack rewards?

Yes. Free is free. Birthday burger plus a redeemed combo plus a Felon side upgrade — load it up.

What about big group orders?

One transaction = one visit. A $60 family order counts the same as a $13 solo burger. The points scale with spend, but the visit count doesn't.

How do I sign up?

Phone number at the counter, or email through the form on our home page once we're live. Right now we're not. Lawyer up.

Ready to go bad?

We're not live yet — but you can wait with us.
