In the early 1990s, the BUBBA burger® was developed by Walter “Bubba” Eaves. Bubba had a mission and a dream to create the perfect burger. As Bubba says he “wanted to create a burger that he would be proud to serve to his friends at his home”.

Bubba invented a unique production process that allows for the BUBBA burger® to be cooked from a frozen state and still remain juicy and flavorful. He also decided that he would use only the highest quality meat in his burger. He refused to use any fillers or trimmings in his burger and, to ensure the highest possible quality, decided to use only whole muscle meat chucks in the BUBBA burger®. Since he was so proud of his creation he named his burger the BUBBA burger® and with these high standards the BUBBA burger® was born!

Starting with the Jacksonville division of Publix, distribution of the BUBBA burger® grew throughout the southeast in both the retail and foodservice channels. Eaves Foods, Inc., run by Bubba, marketed the burger line, which was expanded to include four great varieties:

The Original BUBBA burger
The Sweet Onion BUBBA burger
The Reduced Fat BUBBA burger
The Angus Beef® BUBBA burger

Bubba was born and raised in Elberton, Georgia and he wanted to build a new “state-of-the-art” BUBBA burger® plant in his hometown where he could always keep his eye on the BUBBA burger®. Construction of the new plant was completed in 2000 just as Bubba decided that he wanted new partners in the business to help introduce the BUBBA burger® to the entire United States. In November 2000, a new company was formed called Bubba Foods, LLC to take over all aspects of the BUBBA burger®. This included the production, sales and marketing of the BUBBA burger® with Bubba as the Founder Emeritus, Billy Morris as President and CEO and Steve Coon as COO.

In November 2009, BUBBA burger broke ground on an expansion to double the size of the Georgia plant, which is now complete.

In March 2010 Bubba Foods, LLC announced the acquisition and renovation of a processing facility in Hastings, Nebraska. This location will help BUBBA burger to meet the demand for our products.

The BUBBA burger® is now sold nationwide throughout the United States as well as world-wide through the U.S. Military Commissary system. The BUBBA burger® is the #1 Branded Frozen burger in the United States today with the original four varieties, as well as the following great additions to select from:

The Turkey BUBBA burger
