Wahlburgers: Order the Bunless Burger

Mark Wahlberg's burger chain promises fresh beef but defaults to the same seed oil sludge as every other chain.

July 25, 2026 About Wahlburgers

Wahl sauce can't mask the canola griddle reality.

The Take

Order the Our Burger without the bun and swap the fries for a side salad. Wahlburgers earns an 81 Slop Score for leaning hard into canola and soybean blends on the shared griddle.

The celebrity branding and praised Wahl sauce deliver nostalgia vibes, but the industrial fat profile and $16+ pricing turn it into status-signaling junk food for suburban dads chasing the Wahlberg glow.

The Verdict

Ask for the patty cooked in butter if they'll do it and double the sauce. Otherwise the shared griddle makes most plates a hard pass.

Wahlburgers stays 81 Slop. Skip the Classic fries and any shared-griddle item.
