Bring a little Illinois burger-chain history to your table with this Meatheads Burgers & Fries pint glass. The Bloomington-born restaurant began in 2007, drawing students and young customers before expanding into the Chicago area in 2009. Meatheads stood apart with a fast-casual identity and fries cut in front of customers. This glass celebrates a regional favorite whose story reached 17 restaurants by 2016 and remains a memorable chapter for former customers and restaurant-history collectors.
Meatheads Burgers & Fries was an Illinois fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in hamburgers and related menu items. It began in Bloomington, Illinois, in 2007, attracting students from Illinois State University and other young customers. The chain entered the Chicago area in 2009 and went on to open 14 additional locations there. By October 2016, it had 17 operating restaurants, including one in Champaign near the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Meatheads emphasized a fast-casual identity rather than a traditional fast-food format and sought to distinguish its burger offerings by cutting fries in front of customers. The company remained entirely company-owned and did not adopt a franchise model; its reported annual sales in 2011 were approximately $5 million. In 2019, its partners sold the business to Crave Brands LLC. Meatheads and its parent filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 9, 2021. In September 2023, Epic Burger acquired the six remaining Meatheads locations and began converting them, starting with the Northbrook restaurant. By July 2024, only two locations remained, and those were later replaced.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
