Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell Are Real: The GTA 6 Food Stands in Miami

Yes, Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell now exist in real life. Since around October 21, 2026, two food stands inside Miami's Kaseya Center, the home arena of the Miami Heat, have been serving burgers and fried chicken under the names of GTA's two most famous fast-food chains, in GTA 6 packaging. It is part of the run-up to the game's November 19 launch, and it is the first time the two parody brands have been sold over a real counter with Rockstar's blessing rather than against it.

Here is what we know, what it costs, and where these two chains come from.

The essentials

• Where: Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Boulevard, downtown Miami. Inside the arena, so you need a ticket to an event to reach the counters.
• What: a Burger Shot burger stand and a Cluckin' Bell fried chicken counter, with staff in branded shirts and hats.
• Since when: photos and videos started circulating on October 21-22, 2026.
• Price: a cheeseburger combo (burger, fries, drink) reported at $28.50 before tax, an applewood bacon burger combo at $31. Cluckin' Bell prices have not been published.
• Until when: unknown. The Heat describe it as limited-time, and the push peaks with "A Night in Vice City" on November 18.
• Official? No Rockstar press release. The details come from press reports (GameSpot, games.gg, Dexerto, Insider Gaming) and from fans on site.

Is Burger Shot real now?

As a pop-up, yes. As a restaurant chain, no. What fans found at the Kaseya Center is a rebrand of an existing arena concession. According to games.gg and Insider Gaming, the Burger Shot counter took over the arena's Skinny Louie burger stand: same kitchen, same burgers, but wrapped in Burger Shot packaging and served by staff in Burger Shot uniforms. One fan who filmed their meal summed it up on X: crazy prices, but essentially a Skinny Louie.

Cluckin' Bell sits in the same arena and sells fried chicken. One report places it near a mural for Macca & Friends, a fictional children's TV show from GTA 6 starring an animated alligator.

There is no Burger Shot on a Miami street corner, no drive-through, no delivery app. If you want the burger, you need to be inside the building for a Heat game or another event.

How much does a GTA 6 Burger Shot meal cost?

Arena prices, which is to say steep. The figures reported by GameSpot and games.gg:

A fan on site claimed to have paid more than $37 for a burger, fries and drink, which likely includes tax and tip, but Dexerto could not verify it. Either way, you are paying for the packaging. In-game, a Burger Shot meal in GTA San Andreas cost a few dollars and topped up your health; this one tops up your camera roll.

What else is GTA-themed at the Kaseya Center?

The food stands are only one layer of a much bigger takeover of the arena:

• The Vice City logo was airlifted onto the roof of the arena, letter by letter, earlier in the campaign.
• Elevator ads inside the building reference in-game brands: the radio station Vice City FM, The Vault Nightclub and the TV show Macca & Friends.
• November 18, "A Night in Vice City": the Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks in GTA 6-themed jerseys on a branded court, the night before release. We cover the whole event in our Miami Heat x GTA 6 "A Night in Vice City" explainer.

It fits a pattern. Miami has also seen a Vice City blimp, GTA 6 cars on the streets and billboards, plus a city-approved ad campaign that split the local council (see Miami Beach's $3 million GTA 6 ad campaign). The Kaseya Center is simply the place where all of it lands at once, and it is no accident: the arena itself appears in GTA 6's trailers, recreated as part of downtown Vice City.

Where do Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell come from?

Both chains are long-running parodies from Rockstar's satirical version of America, and both have been in the series for more than two decades.

Burger Shot

Burger Shot is GTA's answer to Burger King: the name and the colors point that way, even if fan wikis note the logo style is closer to Hardee's. Fan archives date it back to GTA Vice City (2002), and it became a fixture from GTA San Andreas (2004) onward, with appearances in Liberty City Stories, GTA IV, Chinatown Wars, GTA V and GTA Online. In San Andreas, it was one of the restaurants where CJ could eat to restore health, and where eating too much made him fat.

Cluckin' Bell

Cluckin' Bell mixes KFC (fried chicken) and Taco Bell (the bell in the name and logo). It is most closely tied to GTA San Andreas, where its chicken-head mascot and slogans became memes, and it returned in GTA V and GTA Online, notably as the setting of a full heist storyline in GTA Online's Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid.

Both belong to a much larger cast of fake companies that GTA uses to mock real ones. If you want the full list of what has shown up in GTA 6 marketing so far, see our guide to every GTA 6 parody brand Rockstar has spoofed.

Why this one is a big deal: Take-Two used to shut these down

Real-life Burger Shots are not new, but they used to end badly. In July 2023, Take-Two sent a cease-and-desist letter to the companies planning Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell pop-ups near San Diego Comic-Con, as Kotaku reported at the time. The organizers scrapped the Burger Shot event and fell back on a spoof installation instead. An unofficial Cluckin' Bell pop-up had already appeared near the convention the year before.

Three years later, the same brands are back over a counter, this time inside an NBA arena in the middle of a Rockstar campaign. The difference is the licence: when the publisher runs the stunt, the parody becomes official merchandise. It is also a reminder of why fan-made Burger Shot restaurants keep getting stopped: these names are trademarks Take-Two actively protects.

Will you be able to eat at Burger Shot in GTA 6?

That is the question every fan asks next, and the honest answer is: likely, but not confirmed in detail. Rockstar printing Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell on GTA 6 packaging strongly suggests both chains exist somewhere in Leonida, as they have in every modern GTA. What Rockstar has not detailed is how restaurants work in-game.

What has been reported, from previews by IGN and Edge, is that food matters more than in GTA V: eating too much can change your character's build, coffee boosts stamina and protein shakes help health, in a system that echoes San Andreas. We break down what that means for healing in will GTA 6 bring back restaurants that heal you. Until launch, treat any claim about specific in-game menus as speculation.

Can I visit if I am not in Miami?

Not yet. The stands are tied to the Kaseya Center and to the Miami leg of the campaign. No other city has been announced, and nothing suggests the chains will open as permanent restaurants. If you are planning a trip to the real places behind the game anyway, our guide to the Florida locations behind Vice City is a good starting point, and the arena is right on Biscayne Bay, a short walk from Bayside Marketplace.
