A restaurant in southern Texas is drawing attention for serving up politics with its patties. “Trump Burger,” located in Belleville, about 90 minutes west of Houston, has built its brand around former President Donald Trump, offering menu items like the “Trump Burger” and “Trump Tower” sandwich.

The diner, adorned with campaign merchandise, photos, cardboard cutouts, and slogans from Trump’s 2024 campaign, opened in 2020 and has become a local landmark for his supporters. The restaurant, however, is not affiliated with the Trump Organization.

The “Trump Burger” is priced at $16.99, while the “Trump Tower” double-patty version sells for a few dollars more. The establishment’s menu also includes a satirical “Biden Burger,” listed at a steep $50.99 and described unfavorably—with stale bread and dried tomatoes. Though it is no longer actually served, staff say it’s kept on the menu as a political statement.

According to the owners, the exaggerated pricing of the “Biden Burger” is intended as commentary on inflation and the outcome of the 2020 election, which they allege was unfairly decided. The restaurant sits in a predominantly Republican county, where 80% of voters supported Trump in the most recent election against then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

The staff in the kitchen, like many eateries across the U.S., include Latin American workers, some of whom are reportedly undocumented—highlighting a paradox given Trump’s policies on immigration and deportation.

Despite the heavy political theme, the restaurant has attracted a wide customer base, especially on weekends, when Harley-Davidson riders and local families pack the small dining space.

While Trump-themed products dominate the space, visitors are unlikely to find much criticism of the 45th and 47th president within its walls—underscoring how even burgers can become a symbol in America’s divided political landscape.
