Trump Burger was a regional restaurant chain in the U.S. state of Texas. The Donald Trump–themed restaurant was established by Roland Beainy in Bellville in 2020.[1] There were also locations in Bay City, Flatonia, and Greater Houston.[2][3]
The Kemah location, which opened in March 2025,[4] was also known as MAGA Burger.[5][6][7] The menu included burgers, sandwiches, and French fries.[8]
The chain has received multiple lawsuits related to the business ownership, as well as a cease-and-desist letter from the Trump Organization.[9]
In August 2025, the chain's founder Beainy, a Lebanese national, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and has been charged with overstaying in the U.S. under the terms of his visa.[10] In October 2025, it was reported that all Trump Burger locations had closed.[11]
