WHILE browsing the Just Eat app recently, my attention was drawn to a listing for MrBeast Burger.

I was aware of MrBeast due to my friends' children's obsession with such online content creators as Moriah Elizabeth and DanDTM.

I'd bought them the MrBeast chocolate bars, which they assured me were really good, so I thought I'd give the burger a try.

But there is no MrBeast Burger joint - orders are dispatched from a 'virtual restaurant’.

Essentially, MrBeast burgers is a brand that existing restaurants can supply to customers.

(Image: Matt Warner) This is how the website explains the concept: “MrBeast is an award-winning digital content creator known for his over-the-top stunts and charitable endeavours.

“He has joined forces with Virtual Dining Concepts to create MrBeast Burger – a virtual restaurant brand, now available to order across the U.S. for delivery only. MrBeast Burger operates out of existing restaurant kitchens, allowing restaurateurs to add a new source of revenue without impacting the operation.

“Customers can only order MrBeast Burger via the proprietary app or through major food delivery service apps.

“MrBeast Burger is available for restaurants to prepare out of their existing kitchens as a way to generate a new revenue stream—the menu is accessed only via apps and it is delivered directly to your door.”

The Just Eat app told me that my order would come from a kitchen in Ewloe, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Burgers called Karl, Chandler, and Chris style were available - I'm sure these names have relevance that a quick Google can tell you.

The delivery game in brightly-coloured, branded packaging directing customers to the MrBeast Burger app.

Inside the bag, the burger was packed in a carton and sealed in foil, something that will be familiar to those who have been to Five Guys.

The burger is described as smashed crispy beef patties with house seasoning, American cheese, pickles, diced white onion, mayo, ketchup, and mustard on a toasted bun.

(Image: Matt Warner) The patties were well seasoned, and juicier than those I've had from McDonalds.

The cheese was gooey, combining with the beef for an exquisite mouthfeel. The pickles added zing, and the mustard gave a mild heat that added to the experience.

However, without lettuce or tomato, I felt the absence of their crispy, freshness.

I'd say overall the burger was comparable to a double cheeseburger from Burger King.

It lacks the customisation options of say Five Guys, but it is a decent burger.

One criticism would be the buns, which seemed different from those pictured on the apps. They were a little dry for my taste, and I would have preferred a brioche or simple burger bun. However, this might have been an availability issue or idiosyncratic to the Deeside supplier.

(Image: Matt Warner) The Beast-style fries were a meal in themselves, basically a deconstructed burger on top of crinkle cut chips.

The fries lacked crispness and, alongside a burger made of much the same ingredients, they felt a bit heavy. Admittedly, the lack of crispiness may have been due to the delivery journey and the abundance of toppings.

Overall, a satisfactory order. But would I order again? Possibly, but not in the near future.

There are cheaper options available and, if I wanted something more elevated, I think I'd try one of the local independent providers before ordering again.
