Hamburger Mary’s is an American restaurant and entertainment chain known for combining casual dining with live drag performances and LGBTQ+ community events.

Founded in 1972 in San Francisco, the brand began as a neighborhood hamburger stand before evolving into a distinctive dining concept centered on entertainment, inclusivity, and social engagement.

The chain is best known for its Drag Brunch events, drag and cabaret shows, charity fundraisers, and themed performances that attract both local communities and visitors. While gourmet burgers and American pub-style food remain central to the menu, live entertainment has become the defining feature of the Hamburger Mary’s experience.

Operating primarily through franchise locations, the company has expanded to multiple cities across the United States while maintaining a strong connection to LGBTQ+ culture and community outreach. Today, Hamburger Mary’s remains one of the most recognizable restaurant brands for drag entertainment and inclusive hospitality.
