OUR STORY
DIGGING IN…
By applying the core values of sister restaurant 677 Prime, Prime Burger is a concept that takes the classic formula of the burger and shake restaurant and elevates it using signature blends of USDA Prime Beef. Some choices you'll get to know are our dry-aged Prime Burger patty, a 100% grass-fed and finished Randall Lineback heritage breed burger, an organic all-natural fried chicken patty, and of course, (the vegan) Beyond Burger. If you know us, you know we love over-the-top desserts, so make sure to indulge in an 'outrageous shake'!
