Our story
Started by award-winning Chef Quinten Frye, Cult Burger is a neighborhood burger joint inspired by the wild west. With over 20 years of experience in farm-to-table cooking and whole-animal butchery, it’s safe to say this ain’t our chef’s first rodeo. We’ll be serving up an array of juicy burgers, hand cut fries, craft sodas, and frozen custards all day long. Join our mailing list below to be in the know on special events!
