Hamburger Mary's is the name of several related hamburger restaurants that started in San Francisco, California in 1972. The name of the business refers to both the original San Francisco location (which closed in 2001) and Hamburger Mary's Bar & Grille, a franchise with numerous locations around the United States, even though the original location and the franchise had been separately owned since 1978. The current franchise is a drag-themed casual dining chain[1][2] The eateries are often in gayborhoods and are intended to represent stereotypical gay culture through humorously named menu items,[3] flamboyant decor, and many of their locations hosting drag shows on weekends.
