The Cheeburger Cheeburger at the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, New York.

Cheeburger Cheeburger is a 1950s-style burger restaurant chain that started on Sanibel Island, Florida, USA, in 1986. They specialize in cheeseburgers, french fries, onion rings, and milkshakes.

The states that currently house Cheeburger Cheeburger locations are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Also, the first international chain opened in Kuwait.

Cheeburger Cheeburger's menus claim it to be famous for its "Pounder" burger, which is 20 ounces of beef. Anyone who finishes the entire burger can have their picture taken holding a stuffed fabric "Pounder" and hung on that restaurant's "Wall of Fame." There is also a Wall of Fame for children, where children under 12 years old may appear if they eat a half-pound burger.

The restaurant's name likely comes from a series of early Saturday Night Live sketches (see Olympia Cafe) inspired by Chicago's Billy Goat Tavern. In addition, Cheeburger Cheeburger locations have signs reading "Pepsi-Pepsi! No Coke!" These signs were inspired by the "No fries! Chips!" and "No Coke! Pepsi!" lines from the SNL sketches.

When Cheeburger Cheeburger opened a restaurant in Glenview, Illinois, they were sued by Billy Goat Tavern. An out-of-court settlement was reached wherein the restaurant changed the name of the Glenview location to simply Cheeburger and agreed not to open another restaurant within 125 miles of downtown Chicago.^[1]
