Pop Burger Menu

Brand Story and Philosophy

The Pop Burger Menu began with a simple idea: a burger should be as expressive as a great chorus. Each bite should hit a clear note, move the melody, and leave a bright finish.

This is food that feels familiar yet sings with surprise.

Our team sources quality proteins and seasonal produce to build burgers with structure and balance. We obsess over contrasts—hot and cool, creamy and crisp, sweet and savory.

The result is a menu that is fun, intentional, and consistently delicious.

Chef’s note: “A great burger is a conversation between the bun, patty, and sauce. We tune each part so the final bite pops like a hit single.”

Signature Burgers

Signature builds frame our point of view and make ordering easy. Each burger centers a bold flavor theme and supports it with complementary textures.

Ask to double any patty or swap a bun to suit your craving.

• Classic Pop — 5 oz smashed beef patty, American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, onions, and house Pop Sauce. Juicy, tangy, and crowd‑pleasing.
• Firecracker — Beef or chicken, pepper jack, charred jalapeños, crispy onions, and Chili Pop glaze. Warm heat with a smoky edge.
• Greenlight — Grilled chicken, basil‑lemon aioli, arugula, tomato, and avocado. Bright, herby, and fresh.
• Umami Pop — Beef, double cheddar, sautéed mushrooms, miso‑onion jam, and black garlic mayo. Deep, savory, and satisfying.
• Pacific Wave — Crispy fish, sesame slaw, sweet chili, and lime‑coconut crema. Crisp, cool, and zesty.
• Garden Smash — Plant‑based patty, vegan cheddar, pickled red onions, tomato, and Roasted Pepper Pop. Vibrant and fully vegan.

All signatures can be customized with extra toppings or bun swaps. Gluten‑free buns and lettuce wraps are available upon request.

Ask about regional specials that rotate every month.

Guest review: “The Umami Pop tastes like a steakhouse dinner between buns. I loved the miso‑onion jam, which added a gentle sweetness.”

Build Your Own Burger

Personalize your burger with a straightforward, generous build system. Start by choosing a patty, pick a bun, then layer on cheese, vegetables, and bold sauces.

Finish with a premium topping for texture or heat.

1. Choose a Patty: Beef, turkey, grilled chicken, crispy chicken, fish, or plant‑based.
2. Pick a Bun: Potato, sesame brioche, pretzel, gluten‑free, or lettuce wrap.
3. Cheese: American, cheddar, pepper jack, Swiss, vegan cheddar, or blue.
4. Fresh Crunch: Lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, jalapeños, slaw, or avocado.
5. Sauce: Pop Sauce, Chili Pop, Black Garlic, Basil‑Lemon, Roasted Pepper Pop, or Honey‑Dijon.
6. Premium Topper: Applewood bacon, sautéed mushrooms, miso‑onion jam, fried egg, or crispy onions.

Building your own allows precise control over flavor and nutrition. Choose lighter sauces and skip cheese for a leaner profile.

Double up on greens for extra crunch and volume.

Sides and Add‑Ons

Great burgers deserve great sides that complement and contrast. Our sides are crisp, hot, and seasoned to enhance the main event.

Mix and match for texture and temperature play.

• Pop Fries — Skin‑on fries with a salty‑sweet seasoning dust.
• Sweet Heat Fries — Sweet potato fries with chili‑lime salt.
• Crunch Rings — Buttermilk onion rings with peppered batter.
• Side Slaw — Sesame‑ginger slaw with herbs and a bright finish.
• Mini Salad — Arugula, cucumber, cherry tomato, and lemon vinaigrette.

Tip: Toss Pop Fries in Chili Pop for a spicy, glossy upgrade. The sauce adheres well and stays crisp longer.

Sauces That Pop

Sauces are the chorus lines of the Pop Burger Menu. Each has a focused flavor identity and performs across burgers and sides.

Many are house‑made daily for freshness.

• Pop Sauce — Tangy, creamy, and slightly sweet with pickle brine and paprika.
• Chili Pop — Medium heat with smoky chilies, honey, and vinegar brightness.
• Black Garlic Mayo — Deep umami, subtle sweetness, and silky texture.
• Basil‑Lemon Aioli — Herbaceous, citrus‑fresh, perfect with chicken and fish.
• Roasted Pepper Pop — Vegan, roasted red peppers with garlic and olive oil.
• Honey‑Dijon — Balanced mustard bite and floral sweetness.

Ask for sauce on the side if you want to control moisture and texture. Mixing two sauces can create new layers, like Chili Pop with Black Garlic.

Stir to combine or drizzle for distinct hits.

Buns and Alternatives

Buns provide structure and a flavor canvas that completes the bite. We choose options that resist sogginess while staying plush.

Toasting is standard for grip and aroma.

• Potato Bun — Soft, slightly sweet, and classic with beef and turkey.
• Sesame Brioche — Rich, buttery, and ideal for umami builds.
• Pretzel Bun — Malty snap with a light salt crust for chicken and mustard.
• Gluten‑Free Bun — Individually wrapped and toasted separately.
• Lettuce Wrap — Crisp romaine leaves for a lighter, gluten‑free option.

Bun selection affects perceived sweetness and saltiness. Pretzel builds accentuate honey and mustard notes.

Brioche highlights savory sauces while adding aroma.

Beverages and Shakes

Refreshment should reset your palate and support the burger’s rhythm. Choose from craft sodas, house lemonades, iced tea, and classic shakes.

Add malt to deepen sweetness and bring nostalgic charm.

Pairing idea: Firecracker with Jalapeño‑Lime lemonade lifts the heat while cleansing the palate. The citrus brightens smoky notes.

Kids and Smaller Bites

Young diners deserve food that is flavorful yet approachable. Our smaller portions keep the fun without overwhelming.

Balanced options ensure parents feel good about the meal.

• Mini Pop Burger — 2 oz patty, American cheese, and Pop Sauce on the side.
• Chicken Chomps — Crispy bites with honey‑dijon dip.
• Grill‑cheese Pop — Toasted sandwich with two cheeses and a tomato dip.
• Fruit Cup — Seasonal fruit with a citrus sprinkle.

Kids meals include a small side and a small drink. Sauce on the side is standard to keep textures crisp.

Swap fruit for fries at no extra charge.

Seasonal and Limited Editions

Seasonal drops spotlight produce and global flavors. These items rotate monthly and sell out fast.

Expect curated pairings that feel new without abandoning the core menu.

• Autumn Ember — Turkey patty, sage aioli, apple slaw, and sharp cheddar.
• Tropic Thunder — Beef, grilled pineapple, teriyaki glaze, and chili‑lime mayo.
• Market Veg — Plant patty, charred corn relish, tomatillo salsa, and cilantro.

Chef’s note: “Seasonal burgers test new ideas and celebrate local growers. When a flavor wins hearts, it often graduates to a signature.”

Nutrition and Allergen Notes

Nutritional transparency matters because preferences and needs vary. We provide clear indicators for dairy, gluten, nuts, eggs, and soy.

Request a printed allergen guide at the counter.

Gluten‑free buns are handled with separate tongs and toasted apart from wheat items. Lettuce wraps avoid cross‑toasting and keep burgers lighter.

Vegan sauces and cheese are available and clearly labeled.

Calorie counts are estimates and vary with customizations. Sauces and premium toppings add significant calories and sodium.

Ask staff to build a lighter version without sacrificing flavor.

Ordering, Experience, and the “Burger” Icon

Order at the counter, kiosk, or online for pickup and delivery. Clear categories and quick filters make it easy to find your favorites.

Favorites and previous orders save time for return guests.

The digital interface uses the familiar three‑line “burger” icon to reveal navigation. Tap to access signatures, builds, sides, and drinks, or to switch to dietary views.

Icon labels improve clarity for first‑time visitors.

Design note: The burger icon is intuitive when labeled and placed consistently. Persistent sections reduce cognitive load during customization.

Pricing and Value

Prices reflect quality ingredients and efficient kitchen flow. We aim for consistent portioning and strong value at every tier.

Combos reduce bundle cost while maintaining generous sizes.

Lunch specials rotate on weekdays to offer accessible entry points. Family packs serve small groups with shareable sides.

Students and service members receive periodic discounts with ID.

Sustainability and Sourcing

Responsibility is built into our menu decisions. We select suppliers who prioritize animal welfare, fair labor, and clean labels.

Packaging uses recyclable materials where local systems support it.

Waste reduction matters because small habits scale. Oil is filtered and recycled, and prep yields are tracked for accuracy.

Seasonal items leverage local produce to cut transport footprints.

Operations note: Toasting buns to order reduces waste and keeps texture consistent. We avoid over‑saucing to preserve crispness and minimize sogginess.

Limited runs invite local chefs to riff on our core items.

Community partnerships extend beyond events. Fundraisers and school nights dedicate a portion of sales to local causes.

The menu becomes a platform for shared experiences.

Tips for Maximum Pop

Order sauce on the side for travel if you plan to take your burger to go. This protects bun integrity and keeps greens lively.

Reheat fries in a hot oven for a few minutes to restore snap.

When building, layer high‑moisture items away from the bun to prevent sogginess. Place greens under the patty to cushion and absorb juices.

Ask for double toast if you like extra structure.
