Famed YouTube star MrBeast is suing the corporate that makes his popular MrBeast Burger for allegedly serving severely undercooked meats that were “inedible.”
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, desires to end the business relationship with Florida-based Virtual Dining Concepts for causing “irreparable harm” to his popularity, in line with the lawsuit filed in Recent York District Court on Monday.
The criticism claims Virtual Dining, co-founded by former Planet Hollywood executive Robert Earl, “was not focused on controlling the standard of the MrBeast Burger customer experience and products” because it sought to grow its ghost kitchen concept.
“Consequently, MrBeast Burger has been thought to be a misleading, poor reflection of the MrBeast brand that gives low-quality products to customer which can be delivered late, in unbranded packaging, fail to incorporate the ordered items, and in some instances, were inedible,” in line with the court filing obtained by The Post.
Donaldson, who boasts greater than 172 million subscribers on his YouTube and makes tens of millions off promoting revenue, opened MrBeast’s first brick-and-mortar outpost at Recent Jersey’s American Dream mall last September that drew greater than 2,000 fans who camped out overnight.

The court filing also claims that greater than half of the 1,000-plus MrBeast Burger virtual restaurants “have lower than two (out of 5) stars,” a marker Donaldson’s lawyers noted “is well-below the median rating of 4 stars across the platform [Yelp].”
Donaldson — who rose to fame as YouTube’s so-called “biggest philanthropist” due to his contests and giveaways where he’s awarded viewers with as much as $1 million — said he made “quite a few…complaints about quality control [that] fell on deaf ears,” the criticism said.
