Our Story.

From California Roots to a National Burger Sensation – Meet the Burger Bus

Not everything that rolls in from California is a hassle—especially when it’s delivering world-class burgers. Born in Santa Barbara in 2016, The Burger Bus quickly made a name for itself with massive portions, bold flavors, and a nostalgic twist. After relocating to Denver, Colorado, the concept took off—capturing the hearts and appetites of burger lovers across the state.

Now operated by Food Truck Avenue, The Burger Bus blends West Coast creativity with Midwestern charm to serve up gourmet burgers as memorable as the iconic school bus that started it all. While our original retrofitted bus—now proudly retired—kicked off the journey, our network of licensed partners continues to deliver the same passion, care, and crave-worthy experience we’ve become known for nationwide.

From the Librarian to the Coach and every campus character in between, our burgers are inspired by the folk-hero memories of our school days—but with a gourmet twist. Each Burger Bus creation pays tribute to the personalities that shaped our childhood, from the vegetarian-friendly Librarian to the BBQ-loving Coach and beyond. While we can’t promise the flavors of your old lunch tray, we can guarantee something better: chef-driven passion, bold creativity, and a burger experience you’ll actually want to remember.

Today, the Burger Bus is more than a food truck—it’s a national brand with a loyal following and licensed partners across the country. With its iconic look and crave-worthy menu, it’s the go-to food truck for corporate catering, festivals, private events, and burger lovers everywhere.

One bus. Endless burgers. Nationwide.
