The Rise of Trill Burgers: A Symbol of Houston’s Culinary Soundtrack
If you’re tuning into Houston’s vibrant food scene, Trill Burgers is undoubtedly one of its most electrifying tracks. Founded by the iconic rapper and entrepreneur Bun B, this smash-burger brand has expanded its horizons with a newly opened location in Missouri City, an exciting chapter in its already dynamic story.
A New Home in Missouri City
Opened on December 10, 2023, at Fort Bend Town Center II, this location marks Trill Burgers’ third in the Houston area and its first venture into Missouri City. Known for being one of the fastest-growing communities in the region, Missouri City is an ideal backdrop for a brand that champions local culture and community connections.
From Pop-Up to Brick-and-Mortar
Debuting its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Montrose back in June 2023, Trill Burgers quickly transitioned from a pop-up sensation to a full-fledged dining destination. The brand’s second location followed suit in Spring, launching in April 2025. Enthusiasm continues to build as plans unfold for a fourth restaurant projected to open at 7616 Westheimer Rd. in 2026. This rapid expansion demonstrates not only the demand for quality burgers but also the inherent cultural significance attached to the brand.
Bun B’s Deep-Cultural Roots
For Bun B, the opening of the Missouri City location is particularly poignant. He expressed heartfelt sentiments about bringing this beloved brand to a community that holds personal significance. “Opening a Trill Burgers in Missouri City is especially meaningful,” he said. “This part of Houston is near and dear to me, so bringing our hometown restaurant to such a special place means more than I could ever say.”
A Restaurant Designed for the Community
The new Missouri City location boasts 2,800 square feet of dining space and can accommodate up to 92 guests. It reflects the signature yellow-and-black color scheme that fans have come to recognize. A stunning custom mural from North Carolina artist JEKS ONE graces one wall, honoring local hip-hop legend Z-Ro, thus reinforcing the restaurant’s connection to the rich tapestry of local music history.
Signature Menu Offerings
Trill Burgers keeps its menu streamlined yet enticing, featuring the same iconic burgers that placed them on the national culinary map. The OG Burger, celebrated by “Good Morning America” as the “Best Burger in America” in 2022, includes two smashed all-beef patties, caramelized onions, pickles, American cheese, and their famed Trill Sauce, all nestled within a fluffy potato roll.
For those seeking alternatives, the menu also offers the Vegan OG, Triple OG, and Triple Vegan OG. Kid-friendly options like the Lil G and Vegan Lil G ensure that the entire family can enjoy the experience. Alongside a selection of seasoned fries, diners can indulge in a refreshing burst of flavor from the beverage menu, which includes the popular Trill Lemonade. This favorite, introduced during the 2025 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, comes in Classic, Strawberry, and Arnold Palmer varieties, all crafted using a proprietary recipe.
Looking Ahead: Grand Opening Celebration
A formal Grand Opening celebration is on the horizon, scheduled for January 7, 2026. This event promises a ribbon-cutting ceremony and unexpected menu surprises, infusing even more excitement into the local dining scene.
Staying Authentic Amid Growth
In a city where culinary legacy holds immense importance, Trill Burgers exemplifies how growth and authenticity can coexist harmoniously. The journey of bringing this flavorful essence home illustrates a profound connection to the community, further enriching Houston’s lively food culture. The rhythm of Trill Burgers continues to resonate, proving that sometimes the most significant expansion is simply about sharing cherished flavors with a broader audience.
