‘Iron’ Mike Tyson gets TKO’d by Bun B’s Trill Burgers in Houston
Mike Tyson made a surprise visit to Trill Burgers Monday evening. His presence adds to the growing list of A-list celebrities who’ve stopped by Houston to get a taste of this NOW “world famous” burgers.
Iron Mike, who was accompanied by Ryan Fiterman of Fiterman Sports, ordered the Vegan OG combo — a vegan smashburger made with plant-based Impossible patties, vegan Trill Sauce, caramelized onions, pickles and vegan cheese.
The original “Trill OG” Bun B asked Tyson what he thought of the burger.
After taking a big bite, Tyson first joked that it was “aight” (alright), then he changed his tune and said it was “BEAUTIFUL!”
Other celebs like Drake, Ludacris, Houston Texans player Andre Johnson and others agree.

What about us common folks?
Well, I have been obsessed with trying a Trill Burger for more than a year now. I finally got my chance a few weeks ago and, overall, liked the burger, but there were a couple of things that I thought needed a bit of enhancement, if I may say.
Here is my review, posted on social media and many agreed, especially on what I said about the French fries.
REVIEW:
“I DID IT! Kicked off my STAYCATION with a visit to #TrillBurgers !!! What did I think? Well…. The beef was seasoned VERY well.. loved the Trill sauce, pickles and onions…but the cheese tasted a little strange to me… Overall the burger was tasty.. (but not better than Whataburger…sorry peeps)… and the FRIES need to be eliminated altogether-thin, hard and no salt or seasoning…. BUT THE AMBIANCE WAS GREAT! The packaging was PERFECTION! Loved seeing Bun B on the #HappyMeals type box… would I STAND in line for it again… possibly not… would I go if there was a drive thru? Likely… And I’d definitely make it a HOT SPOT to take out-of-towners who need to see some H-Town Flava…. Hey, I love Bun B .. so I’ll always support… just a plea on behalf of the people… change those fries, bruh!!!!”
