Trill Burgers has announced that it will make its much-anticipated return to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Rap legend Bun B’s award-winning smashburger concept – which was named “Best Burger in America” by Good Morning America in 2022 – will be a food vendor at booth RP130 in Rodeo Plaza at NRG Park, located on NRG Parkway East near the Champion Wine Garden and NRG Astrodome. It will be next to the booth that Trill Burgers operated last year, with an updated buildout for 2023.
Trill Burgers made its Rodeo debut in 2022, serving up more than 12,000 burgers during the 21-day festival. That culminated with 1,234 burgers sold on Bun B’s birthday, March 19 – which will be the final day of the 2023 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Bun B will once again grace the revolving star-studded stage inside NRG Stadium on Friday, March 3, for Bun B’s Southern Takeover, leading an all-star cast of hip-hop elite from the Southern United States.
“As excited as I am to be performing again at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 3, I’m equally excited to be serving our Trill Burgers on Restaurant Row again for the entire Rodeo,” Bun B said. “There’s no better way to present our amazing burger to as many Houstonians in one setting. See you there!”
The news of the smash hit concept returning to Houston’s marquee public event comes as work continues on Trill Burgers’ first brick-and-mortar location at 3607 S Shepherd Dr. in Montrose. The 3,236-square-foot building, which features a drive-thru, was formerly home to one of Houston's oldest James Coney Island locations. An opening date will be announced soon.
