Celebrated chef to lead Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on May 21st in Celebration of National Burger Month as Refreshed Concept Debuts Updated Design, Menu and Service Model
Mohegan Sun will officially unveil its all new Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay with a special re-opening event and ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by renowned chef and restaurateur Bobby Flay on Thursday, May 21st at 1:00pm in celebration of National Burger Month. The restaurant has already begun welcoming guests today as part of a soft opening.
Flay will be joined by Mohegan Sun President & General Manager Jeff Hamilton and Mohegan Tribal Officials to commemorate the next chapter of Bobby’s Burgers, which introduces an updated design, streamlined service model and refreshed guest experience. Following the ceremony, guests will have the opportunity to sample the updated menu and enjoy a limited giveaway, available while supplies last.
“This refreshed Bobby’s Burgers concept reflects everything I love about great dining: bold flavors, high-quality ingredients and an experience that’s both approachable and exciting,” said Bobby Flay. “Mohegan Sun has been an incredible partner, and I’m excited to celebrate this next evolution together.”
The newly redesigned Bobby’s Burgers at Mohegan Sun is one of the brand’s largest locations in the United States and one of the only restaurants to feature an adjacent full-service bar, which has also been updated as part of the renovation. The space showcases enhanced design elements consistent with the brand’s presence in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and many more locations, while introducing a more efficient counter-service model that allows for faster ordering and pickup.
The menu highlights Flay’s signature approach to classic American fare, featuring favorites like the Crunchburger®, the Bobby Blue + Bacon Burger and the Palace Classic Burger, alongside a rotating selection of limited-time burgers and shakes. Each burger is made with Certified Angus Beef™, grilled medium or well done, and served on a brioche bun, with options for grilled chicken or a vegetarian patty available across the menu.
As part of the re-opening celebration, Flay will step behind the counter to work alongside his kitchen team, preparing orders and engaging directly with guests.
Chef Bobby Flay has spent decades shaping some of the country’s most acclaimed restaurants and culinary concepts. The first chef to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Flay is a 16-time cookbook author and five-time Daytime Emmy Award winner. Bobby’s Burgers represents a natural extension of his culinary philosophy, bringing bold, accessible flavors to a fast-casual format.
Standard hours at the new Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay at Mohegan Sun are:
Sunday: 8:00am – Midnight
Monday – Thursday: 11:00am – Midnight
Friday: 11:00am – 3:00am
