Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell Are Real: GTA 6 Turns Miami’s Kaseya Center Into Vice City Fast Food

✅ CONFIRMED

GTA’s most famous fast-food chains just crossed into the real world. Over the last 24 hours, fans inside Miami’s Kaseya Center have discovered working Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell restaurants — full menu boards, branded staff uniforms, checkered red-white-and-blue decor and all — serving real food to real customers as part of Rockstar’s GTA 6 Miami takeover.

Quick answer: Real Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell pop-ups are open inside Miami’s Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat. The Burger Shot replaced a Skinny Louie stand, with branded uniforms, packaging and combos at $28.50–$31.00 — and one fan’s meal reportedly topped $37.

Key takeaways

• A real Burger Shot replaced the Skinny Louie burger stand inside Miami’s Kaseya Center, with dripping-burger branding, “VICE CITY” lettering and staff in Burger Shot uniforms.
• The menu board lists three combos — $28.50, $30.00 and $31.00 — plus à la carte burgers from $15.50 and fries at $8.50, verified from fan photos of the actual boards.
• A Cluckin’ Bell pop-up was spotted in the same arena, the chain’s first real-world appearance since its GTA: San Andreas debut.
• Joel Franco’s original X post about the discovery hit 4,254 likes and 243,529 views within a day.
• Rockstar has not announced the pop-ups separately; they sit inside the official Oct 2 Rockstar × Miami Heat partnership, building toward “A Night in Vice City” on November 18.

Where exactly are the Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell pop-ups?

Both pop-ups are inside the Kaseya Center in downtown Miami, the home arena of the Miami Heat. The Burger Shot took over the existing Skinny Louie burger stand, wrapping it in red branding with the chain’s dripping-burger logo, “VICE CITY” lettering and a giant burger mural, while a Cluckin’ Bell — the fried-chicken chain from GTA: San Andreas — was spotted operating in the same venue.

The discovery was first shared on X on October 21 by creator Joel Franco (@OfficialJoelF): “BURGER SHOT inside Kaseya Center 🔥 crazy prices but it’s essentially a Skinny Louie. They do have branded packaging tho 👀 in line to try.” His three photos show the branded storefront, the menu boards and the interior. A day later, @luciacaminoss posted the Cluckin’ Bell find. Fan accounts @GTAVI_Countdown and @nvtnp_, quoted by ben (@videotech), also note “Macca & Friends” and Vice City posters inside the venue.

What’s on the Burger Shot menu — and what does it cost?

Three combos headline the menu board: Combo #1 (Skinny Louie Cheeseburger Combo) at $28.50, Combo #2 (Classic Burger Combo) at $30.00 and Combo #3 (Applewood Bacon Burger Combo) at $31.00 — each with fries and a choice of drink. À la carte, the Skinny Louie Cheeseburger is $15.50, the Classic Burger $16.00, the Applewood Bacon Burger $17.00, the veggie burger $17.00, a second patty adds $3.00 and French fries are $8.50.

The menu is real arena food wearing GTA clothes — the items are Skinny Louie standbys in Burger Shot branding, as Franco noted (“it’s essentially a Skinny Louie”). One fan’s video, reported by Dexerto, claimed a burger, fries and drink cost over $37 — above even the $31 top combo, suggesting add-ons, taxes or arena fees on top of the board prices. Official stadium pricing, in other words, not a joke menu.

Is the food actually real, or just a marketing photo op?

It’s real. Dexerto’s reporting confirms that rather than putting up advertisements, the arena transformed existing food stands into the recognisable restaurants “complete with their familiar branding,” and that “they’re actually serving food, meaning fans can finally order something from a GTA restaurant without needing to boot up the game.” Staff wear custom GTA-inspired uniforms, and the cups and packaging carry Burger Shot branding.

This is a step beyond the rest of Rockstar’s Miami campaign so far. The rooftop “Welcome to Vice City” sign, the Wynwood Walls murals, the supercar convoys and the blimp are all things to look at. The restaurants are things to eat at — a novelty that converts passers-by into customers and customers into social-media posts, which is exactly why the discovery spread the way it did.

What are Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell in GTA lore?

Burger Shot is GTA’s long-running parody of American fast-food chains — exaggerated, unhealthy and inescapable, with deliberately absurd menu items like the Heartstopper, a seven-patty stacked burger reported by undercodenews. Dexerto calls it “GTA’s parody of major burger chains, serving huge burgers that the average person would struggle to finish,” while Cluckin’ Bell is the fried-chicken equivalent, first seen in GTA: San Andreas.

Cluckin’ Bell’s legend comes largely from one mission: the San Andreas drive-through where Big Smoke places gaming’s most quoted fast-food order — “two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.” The meme was immediate: on Reddit, the top fan reaction to the real-world pop-up was, “Just need someone to go there and do Big Smoke’s order.” Rockstar picked the two chains with the deepest meme roots in the fandom, not just the prettiest logos.

How does this fit into Rockstar’s wider Miami takeover?

The restaurants are the latest layer of a campaign stacking all month: the giant “Welcome to Vice City” sign lit on the Kaseya Center roof, the free Wynwood Walls murals, the VCPD-liveried supercar convoy, the Vice City-branded Goodyear blimp and the first GTA 6 TV spot. All of it funnels toward November 18, when the Miami Heat host Milwaukee as “Vice City” on ESPN — custom court, new uniforms and $45–$110 merch — one day before GTA 6 launches on November 19.

The honest boundary: Rockstar has not issued a standalone announcement of the pop-ups, and Dexerto notes it is “currently unclear how long Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell will remain at the arena beyond the promotional campaign.” They read as part of the official October 2 Rockstar × Miami Heat partnership rather than a separate press push. Dexerto also reports real-life GTA 6 beers — Pißwasser, Patriot and Vice City lager, which we covered when they surfaced in the US TTB database — are expected to be sold in real life too, so the menu may yet grow. See our GTA 6 beer labels found in the US database article, our Wynwood Walls GTA 6 murals coverage and our first GTA 6 TV ad breakdown for the full campaign picture, plus the GTA 6 release date countdown for everything confirmed about the November 19 launch.

What this means

Rockstar is spending its final pre-launch month making Vice City feel physically real, and the restaurants are the cleverest move yet. Murals and blimps advertise to Miami; restaurants make Miami advertise for them — every meal is a receipt, a photo and a share. It’s also a quiet test: if a $31 Burger Shot combo sells out an arena stand, expect Rockstar to keep folding its fictional brands into real-world retail long after November 19, the same way it’s already pushing GTA 6 beers toward real shelves.

Watch the clock, though. Everything in this campaign has been time-boxed around the launch window — the pop-ups may be gone within weeks, and Rockstar hasn’t promised anything permanent. If you’re in Miami for the November 18 Heat game, the window to eat like Big Smoke is probably as narrow as the launch itself.
