Bun B’s Trill Burgers isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a movement. And Houston is all in.
At the first-ever Honeyland Festival in Sugar Land, TX, Trill Burgers drew massive crowds. Fans stood in long lines just to get their hands on the Trill OG Burger Combo and the Vegan OG Burger Combo. The hype was real.
This isn’t new though. When Trill Burgers officially opened in Houston, it sold over 53,000 burgers in one month, according to AFROTECH. That’s more than buzz—it’s a burger revolution.

What Makes Trill Burgers Different?
During a panel at the festival called “Chopped & Screwed: Trill Burgers,” Bun B shared his recipe for success—literally and figuratively.
“This isn’t just food,” he told AFROTECH. “This is culture.”
He explained that when people step into Trill Burgers, they don’t just get a meal—they feel something. The music, the vibe, the energy—it’s all a crash course in Houston’s culture, not just Hip-Hop, but the entire city’s flavor.
“We don’t just serve burgers—we serve an experience,” Bun B said. “It feels trill the second you walk through the door.”
From Hip-Hop Legend to Food Mogul
Bun B, born Bernard James Freeman, built a name in Hip-Hop. But food wasn’t always in the plan.
“For years, I thought I was just in the music business,” he said. “But I realized I’m really in the service industry. Whether I’m giving someone music or a burger, I’m still creating an experience.”
That mindset shaped Trill Burgers. Every bite reflects the same care and effort he once put into making albums.
Bouncing Back Stronger
Success hasn’t come without setbacks. Trill OG Burgers went through a tough financial period, with mismanaged funds nearly derailing the business.
“We had to start over—almost from scratch,” Bun B admitted. “But the product was solid. And the team that stayed was committed.”
That resilience paid off. Trill Burgers came back stronger and even earned the title of America’s Best Burger on Good Morning America.
With stars like Drake, E-40, and Miguel showing support, the brand continues to rise. But for Bun B, it’s not about fame. It’s about delivering the best burger possible—every time.
Building a Legacy Through Bun B
For Bun B, Trill Burgers is more than a business—it’s a long-term vision.
“One brick-and-mortar location is amazing,” he said. “But I want more. I want to take this burger to cities everywhere.”
He’s thinking about generational wealth, not just fast success.
“If I live to be 100, I hope we are still growing even after I’m gone.”
