The award-winning smash burger concept from Houston rapper Bun B, known as Trill Burgers, will open a new location on the Rice University campus during student orientation week in August.<\/p>\n
The details<\/p>\n
Campus officials said the move to add Trill Burgers to the university’s Rice Memorial Center is a “homecoming” for Bun B, who served as a distinguished lecturer a handful of times to co-teach the Religion and Hip-Hop Culture course at Rice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is truly full circle for me,\u201d Bun B said in a July 30 news release. \u201cTo bring this brand to Rice University where I once taught is a major moment for Trill Burgers and for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The on-site restaurant will open Aug. 17 and will operate 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. It will be open to students, faculty and the general public, per the release. For students, Trill Burgers will accept campus dining dollars.<\/p>\n
On the menu<\/p>\n
Trill Burgers features popular burger options such as the OG Trill Burger, which is made with two smashed all-beef patties, pickles, caramelized onions, Trill Sauce and American cheese on a Martin’s potato roll. The restaurant also offers a vegan option called the Vegan OG Burger, which features plant-based smashed patties and includes vegan sauce and vegan cheese.<\/p>\n
The menu also showcases Trill’s seasoned fries, beverages and kids’ meals. Items can be purchased \u00e0 la carte or as a combo.<\/p>\n
One more thing<\/p>\n
The Rice University location joins three other operating restaurants in Houston, Spring and Missouri City. The brand is also expected to open a new location off Westheimer Road in late 2026. Additionally, the concept will return to Reliant Stadium this fall for the Houston Texans season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The award-winning smash burger concept from Houston rapper Bun B, known as Trill Burgers, will open a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":396699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[41553,1805,139307,1604,62,56,58,57,139308,1454,3590,223,67,514,73200,76524],"class_list":["post-396698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-bun-b","tag-burgers","tag-can-i-eat-there","tag-community-impact","tag-dining","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-is-it-open-to-the-public","tag-near-me","tag-new-location","tag-news","tag-restaurant","tag-rice-university","tag-trill-burgers","tag-when-is-it-open"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=396698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/396698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/396699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=396698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=396698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
