Mysterious Mr. Beast Burger ghost kitchen in Dartmouth

While driving around Dartmouth and waiting at a red light, I noticed something interesting on my phone's GPS: a sign indicating the presence of a MrBeast Burger near Friendly's Restaurant on Route 6. Though I was familiar with the South Coast area, I had never seen or heard of a MrBeast Burger location, but I soon found myself gaining a deeper appreciation for the local eatery.

In fact, MrBeast Burger has an actual “ghost kitchen” inside a Friendly's, which means you can't just walk into a Friendly's and order a MrBeast Burger – it's only available for delivery through the DoorDash app. If you try to pull up to a Friendly's and order a MrBeast Burger there, you'll be politely turned away.

Bill, a manager at Friendly's in Dartmouth, shared some insight into this unique setup: The secret menu of Mr. Beast Burgers was revealed to the public in 2022 as part of an online program that supports third-party delivery systems such as DoorDash and its drivers. Friendly's benefits greatly from this arrangement, taking a 60% commission on every order made through the DoorDash app.

Sure, Friendly's has a Mr. Beast Burger ghost kitchen where Friendly's cooks cook orders, but the Mr. Beast Burger menu differs from Friendly's and features its own items, such as the signature wavy cut fries and fries with Mr. Beast in them.

MrBeast Burgers is the brainchild of award-winning YouTube creator MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson). In partnership with Virtual Dining Concepts, MrBeast launched the virtual restaurant brand, which is currently available for delivery only across the United States. With 279 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, MrBeast introduced this innovative dining concept to provide restaurateurs with an additional revenue stream without disrupting their regular operations.

To order a MrBeast Burger, you'll need to use the app or DoorDash. South Coast residents can find MrBeast Burger at several locations, including:

• 307 State Road, Dartmouth, Massachusetts (Friendly's)
• 135 Mariano Bishop Boulevard, Fall River, Massachusetts (Friendly's)
• 40 Bedford Street, Middleborough, Massachusetts
• 6 Plaza Way, Plymouth, Massachusetts
• 47 Long Pond Road, Plymouth, Massachusetts

MrBeast Burger has been growing rapidly, with over 600 locations across 45 states and Washington, D.C., out of approximately 1,000 locations worldwide. The virtual dining sensation was announced by MrBeast on December 19, 2020, marking a major expansion in the food delivery industry with the opening of 300 locations in the United States.

All I'm saying is, next time you're in Dartmouth and want something different, remember that the world famous MrBeast Burger is just a few taps away on your phone.
