Burger Shot Is REAL In Florida: Full Menu, Prices ($28.50 vs $8.99), Every Location, Cluckin’ Bell, And How To Not Get Scammed (GTA 6)

Picture this. You’re at a Miami Heat game. You go to get a burger. You expect a normal arena burger. Instead, the guy behind the counter is wearing a red Burger Shot visor, red work shirt, khaki pants, navy apron. The box says BURGER SHOT. The cup says BURGER SHOT. The whole stand is checkered red and white like the game. You pay $28.50 before tax. You get a burger, fries, and a drink. You take a photo. It goes viral. You just ate at Burger Shot. In real life. Not in GTA. In Miami. GTA 6’s Burger Shot is REAL in Florida from Nov 13 to Dec 31, 2026. IGN — GTA 6’s Burger Shot Restaurant Is Expanding Across Florida It started Oct 21 at Kaseya Center (Miami Heat arena) via Skinny Louie, then expanded to EVERY Skinny Louie in Florida. GameSpot — GTA 6 Burgers Will Be Available In Florida Partner: Skinny Louie, Miami smash burger chain founded in Wynwood in 2023, Rockstar’s exclusive Florida restaurant partner. QSR Magazine — Skinny Louie Partners With Rockstar Games Menu: The Bleeder Triple (3x Black Angus smash patties, cheese, bacon, pickles, BBQ, ketchup), Burger Shot Single, Burger Shot Double, Caramel Milkshake. QSR Magazine Arena price: $28.50 combo / $31 bacon combo before tax. Dexerto — GTA’s Burger Shot & Cluckin’ Bell Are Now Real In Miami Street price: Burger Shot Single reportedly $8.99 outside arena. The Daily Checkpoint — Rockstar Is Building Vice City In The Real World GTA 6 launches Nov 19, 2026 on PS5 + Xbox Series X|S. Pre-load is live now. IGN Cluckin’ Bell is ALSO real at Kaseya Center, but NOT confirmed statewide. GameSpot

1. The Timeline — From Arena Stand To Statewide Takeover In 23 Days

IGN made it sound like “expanding this weekend, done.” The real timeline is a 3-act movie:

2. What Is Skinny Louie? (And Why Rockstar Picked Them, Not McDonald’s)

This is the part IGN skipped, and it’s the best part. Rockstar could have partnered with McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s — any big chain. They didn’t. They picked Skinny Louie. “Skinny Louie, the fast-growing smash burger concept founded in Miami, is partnering with Rockstar Games to bring Burger Shot, the fictional fast-food chain from the Grand Theft Auto universe, to its Florida locations as part of an official Grand Theft Auto VI collaboration.” QSR Magazine “Skinny Louie was founded in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood in 2023, while Grand Theft Auto VI returns players to Vice City, Rockstar Games’ fictionalized take on Miami and South Florida.” QSR Magazine “Burger Shot is such an iconic part of the Grand Theft Auto universe, so getting to recreate that experience in the real world is very exciting for us,” said Gonzalo Rubino, co-founder of Skinny Louie. QSR Magazine “We can’t wait for people to experience Burger Shot for themselves in our restaurants and at Kaseya Center.” QSR Magazine Why Skinny Louie makes sense:

• Miami-born, 2023: Not a corporate chain. A Wynwood local. GTA 6 is about Vice City = Miami. Rockstar wanted authentic Miami, not a national chain.
• Smash burgers: Skinny Louie does smash burgers — thin, crispy edges, smashed on grill. That’s exactly what Burger Shot should be. Not a frozen patty. A smash patty.
• Small enough to rebrand: 8 Florida locations + arena stands. The GTA 6 News You can’t rebrand 1,000 McDonald’s in 3 weeks. You CAN rebrand 8 Skinny Louies.
• Exclusive Florida partner: “As Rockstar Games’ exclusive Florida restaurant partner for the activation, Skinny Louie will transform its restaurants with Burger Shot signage, uniforms, and branded packaging” QSR Magazine Exclusive = no other Florida chain can do Burger Shot.

And McDonald’s? No. “McDonald’s UK told RockstarINTEL on 28 October 2026 that it has no plans for a GTA 6 collaboration, and apologised if a 19 October Instagram post had implied otherwise.” The GTA 6 News — McDonald’s UK Says No Plans So if you see a “GTA 6 McDonald’s meal” on TikTok, it’s fake. The only real GTA 6 food is Burger Shot + Cluckin’ Bell, via Skinny Louie.

3. The Full Menu — The Bleeder Will Actually Kill You (In A Good Way)

IGN listed the menu. But they didn’t tell you what it TASTES like, what it COSTS, or what it MEANS in GTA lore.

What you DON’T get (yet):

• The Heartstopper: In GTA IV, Burger Shot sells a 7-patty burger called The Heartstopper. It’s not on the real menu. If Rockstar adds it, it will break the internet. Watch for it.
• Cluckin’ Bell menu: Cluckin’ Bell is fried chicken. In-game, it’s “Cluckin’ Huge Meal,” “Chicken + Waffles,” etc. At Kaseya, Cluckin’ Bell prices not published. LeonidaHub And it’s NOT confirmed statewide. GameSpot
• Burger Shot sauce recipe: Secret. Obviously. If you ask, they will laugh.

Honest food review (from fans who went): “The Burger Shot burger is ‘essentially a Skinny Louie.'” LeonidaHub — Joel Franco, who bought it on camera. “Fans at the games told GameSpot the burgers are the same Skinny Louie burgers the arena already sold, just wearing GTA 6 clothes.” The Daily Checkpoint Translation: The food is GOOD (Skinny Louie is legit), but it’s not a new recipe. It’s Skinny Louie in Burger Shot packaging. That’s actually perfect — because in GTA, Burger Shot IS a parody of Burger King. It’s supposed to be normal fast food with a ridiculous brand. The joke is the branding, not the food. And that’s why the $28.50 price is funny: “Even the $28.50 pre-tax burger combo feels like a joke pulled straight out of a Weazel News radio segment” Pro-Gamer Rockstar knows arena prices are robbery. That’s the joke. You’re paying $28.50 for a burger in a game about crime. That’s meta.

4. The Price Scandal — $28.50 vs $8.99 (Don’t Get Scammed)

This is the most important section. Read it before you go.

Pro tip: If you want the full experience without the $37, go to a Skinny Louie street store on Nov 13- Dec 31, order The Bleeder Triple + Caramel Milkshake, take a photo with the Burger Shot signage, and eat it while listening to Vice City FM on Spotify. Same vibe, 1/3 price.

5. Every Location — Where To Get Burger Shot In Florida

IGN said “across Florida.” They didn’t list them. Here they are: “Its locations page lists Wynwood, Little Havana, Coral Gables, South Miami, Aventura, Dania Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea and West Palm Beach.” The GTA 6 News

Delivery: “People in South Florida can buy the GTA 6 burgers in store or have them delivered.” GameSpot “It covers dine in and delivery.” The GTA 6 News Delivery apps not confirmed — check Uber Eats / DoorDash / Skinny Louie site. If you order delivery, ask for Burger Shot packaging — that’s half the point. NOT in Florida? Sorry. “Skinny Louie also runs restaurants in New York, but its post only promises the takeover at Kaseya Center and its Florida spots.” The GTA 6 News No NY, no Texas, no California, no international (yet). If you’re not in Florida, you have to fly, or wait for Rockstar to expand. Or make your own Bleeder at home (recipe below).

6. Burger Shot History — From GTA III To GTA 6 (25 Years Of Fake Fast Food)

Burger Shot isn’t new. It’s been in GTA for 25 years. That’s why this pop-up hits so hard — it’s nostalgia + new game.

“Burger Shot is GTA’s parody of major burger chains, serving huge burgers that the average person would struggle to finish, while Cluckin’ Bell offers a similarly ridiculous take on fried chicken restaurants.” Dexerto “Burger Shot is the Burger King parody in the world of GTA.” GameSpot “Cluckin’ Bell, another recurring store in the series, which first appeared in San Andreas.” Dexerto So when you eat at Burger Shot in Miami, you’re not just eating a burger. You’re eating 25 years of GTA history.

7. Cluckin’ Bell — The Secret Second Chain (Don’t Sleep On It)

IGN focused on Burger Shot. But Cluckin’ Bell is the secret MVP. “In the same location, fans also spotted a Cluckin’ Bell, another recurring store in the series, which first appeared in San Andreas.” Dexerto “The arena is also home to a real-life Cluckin’ Bell food stand, which serves fried chicken combos, complete with a mural of the game’s Macca the Gator mascot.” Secret Miami — You Can Order Real-Life GTA 6 Burgers “Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell have been recreated inside Miami’s Kaseya Center” Zero1Gaming Cluckin’ Bell = KFC parody. Fried chicken. In GTA, it’s “Cluckin’ Huge Meal,” “Cluckin’ Bell Chicken,” etc. But here’s the catch: “It’s unknown if the Cluckin’ Bell locations will be available outside the arena like the Burger Shots are.” GameSpot “Rockstar and Skinny Louie have not said whether Cluckin’ Bell will leave the arena.” LeonidaBay — GTA 6 Burger Shot Opens In Miami At Stadium Prices So if you want Cluckin’ Bell, you MUST go to Kaseya Center. Street Skinny Louies are Burger Shot only (for now). If Cluckin’ Bell expands statewide, that will be a second wave. Watch for it. And the Macca mural? Macca is the gator mascot from GTA 6’s Cluckin’ Bell / Vice City. “Macca & Friends mural” LeonidaHub — take a photo with it. It’s the most Instagrammable thing in the arena.

8. Miami Is Vice City Now — Burger Shot Is Just One Piece

Burger Shot is not happening in a vacuum. Rockstar turned ALL of Miami into Vice City.

• Giant Vice Beach sign: Huge illuminated Vice City sign on Kaseya Center, Vice Beach sign on Miami Beach. Pro-Gamer
• Real GTA 6 cars: “Rockstar commissioned six drivable GTA 6 cars from West Coast Customs and put them on Miami’s streets” YouTube — GTA 6 Cars In Real Life — Pegassi Tempesta, Albany Manana donk, Albany Buccaneer lowrider, Invetero Coquette, Progen Emerus, Grotti Cheetah. YouTube
• Blimp: GTA 6 branded blimp over Miami. Dexerto
• Wynwood kiosks: Pfister Comet S2 Cabriolet ads, Weazel News, The Vault nightclub, QR codes. Pro-Gamer
• Bayside Ferris wheel: Lit up in GTA 6 colours. LeonidaBay
• El Clasico: Rockstar ran GTA 6 ads during Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Oct 25, reaching ~650M viewers. Beebom — GTA 6 Marketing Hits Football’s Biggest Clash
• Selfridges merch: “A new collection of merchandise now offers more than 60 items themed after GTA 6” CBR — GTA 6 Officially Drops Over 60 New Releases Including “a full Burger Shot uniform, letting players dress up as a worker from the fictional fast food chain. The full ensemble comprises a red visor, red work shirt, khaki pants, and navy blue apron.” CBR Yes, you can BUY the Burger Shot uniform. For real.

“Rockstar Games is taking its GTA 6 marketing to another level, with two of the series’ most famous fast food restaurants appearing in real life as part of its Miami takeover.” Dexerto “Rather than relying solely on traditional box-art billboards, the studio has rolled out a massive experiential marketing blitz in late October that is physically transforming Miami into a living extension of Vice City.” Pro-Gamer This is the biggest game marketing campaign in history. Not a trailer. Not a billboard. A whole city.

9. DIY Bleeder — Make Burger Shot At Home (If You’re Not In Florida)

Not in Florida? Don’t cry. Make it at home. This is the closest you can get to the real thing:

• Patties: 3x 100% Black Angus smash patties, ~80g each, smashed thin on screaming hot griddle, salt + pepper, 60 seconds per side, crispy edges. That’s the Skinny Louie method.
• Cheese: Yellow American cheese, 1 slice per patty, melt with lid / water splash.
• Bacon: Crispy bacon, 2 strips, broken in half.
• Pickles: Dill pickles, 4-5 slices.
• Sauces: BBQ sauce (sweet, smoky) + ketchup, 1 tbsp each, on top bun.
• Bun: Potato bun, toasted in butter.
• For Burger Shot Single/Double: Same patty + cheese, but swap BBQ/ketchup for Burger Shot sauce: mayo + ketchup + mustard + pickle juice + garlic powder + paprika. Shredded lettuce + diced raw onions on top.
• Caramel Milkshake: Vanilla ice cream + milk + caramel sauce, blended thick, whipped cream, caramel drizzle.

Put it in a red box, wear a red visor, play Vice City FM, and eat it while your friend pretends to be a cop. That’s as close as you get outside Florida.

The Bleeder Triple will kill you in the best way. Cluckin’ Bell is real too, but only at the arena. Skinny Louie is the perfect partner — Miami-born, smash burger, small enough to rebrand. McDonald’s said no. Burger Shot said yes. GTA 6 launches Nov 19. But Vice City is already open. If you’re in Florida, go.
