About Built Custom Burgers

Built Custom Burgers is an international burger restaurant designed to be “the fast-casual version of The Counter,” Built Custom Burgers is a place people can go to create burgers the way they like. The burgers are designed by (and for) you, from picking your meat and sauce to choosing your toppings and bun.

Built Custom Burgers has taken the possibilities of personalized burgers and turned it into a process with six steps. One of these options includes a burger in a bowl instead of the traditional sandwich-style on a bun. Built Custom Burgers believes it is as unique as its custom burgers are.

The company was founded in 2013 and began franchising the following year. Since then, Build Custom Burgers has opened several locations around the world.
