Cheeseburger in Paradise was an American restaurant chain inspired by the famous Jimmy Buffett song of the same name. The concept for the chain was developed in collaboration between Buffett and OSI Restaurant Partners (now known as Bloomin’ Brands), with the first location opening in 2002 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The restaurants were themed around a coastal, tropical setting that reflected Buffett’s laid-back, beach-centric lifestyle, offering a menu that featured American casual dining options, including its signature cheeseburgers, along with a variety of cocktails and other beach-inspired dishes.
Although the chain enjoyed popularity, especially among Buffett’s fans, it faced challenges in the competitive casual dining market. Over the years, the number of locations dwindled, and by the late 2010s, the chain was eventually phased out, with the last location closing its doors, marking the end of Cheeseburger in Paradise’s venture into the themed restaurant industry.
Cheeseburger in Paradise offers an excellent selection of gluten-free choices, featuring burgers with gluten-free buns! Additionally, they provide several signature entrees, a range of gluten-free sides, and a diverse assortment of beverages.
