Rob and Carmen May will celebrate Burger University’s fifth anniversary next April; however they said they are still making improvements to the restaurant.
Burger University, located on the Square in the historic Lockett Building, features a college theme, which was inspired by the restaurant’s proximity to Southwestern University.
“[When I took over,] I really started to take a keen interest in this building, and we have pumped a lot of money into it and a lot of resources, but it is well worth it,” Rob said.
Rob and Carmen said they have had aspirations to improve the restaurant since its opening, and they do not intend to stop improving it anytime soon.
“Our goal is to keep things fresh— not just our product, but also the freshness of our ideas,” Rob said. “We want to keep [the theme and the atmosphere renewed.”]
During the past several years the couple has expanded the restaurant’s menu, which is displayed on a chalkboard and known as the Undergradaute Curriculum, to include more options.
The restaurant originally offered 11 burgers, known as majors, but the couple expanded their menu in late 2015, Carmen said.
The new items are available off the Graduate menu, including the MBA, which comes infused with barbecue sauce and has bacon as well as fried onion and jalapeno strings on top, and The Chancellor, which is a half-pound of Kobe beef.
