For years I’ve poured everything I have into running Burger Boy. This isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a local landmark where generations of families have come together for good food, laughter, and memories.

Since having my son, I’ve done my best to balance being a dad and running this place, but this past year has been the hardest of my life. I fell behind on my business mortgage last fall. (Mortgage structured seasonally April- October) The bank said they’d put the missed payments on the back of the loan. I figured it was done. At the beginning of this year they changed their mind. They demanded me to come current the first weeks of my season. Which took literally every dollar I had. Just when I thought it was all taken care of, they demanded more and accelerated my loan, and now Burger Boy is in active foreclosure and facing auction.

I’ve worked 16-hour days, almost every day for the past 10 years of my life. Cooking, fixing equipment, and keeping the doors open however I can. I’ve never been afraid of hard work and I’ve never asked for help before, but this is bigger than me now.

💪 What Burger Boy Stands For

Burger Boy has always been about more than burgers. We’ve made it a point to give back because this community has given us everything:
• 🍗 300+ free Thanksgiving meals each year for anyone who needs them.
• 🚲 Free bikes every Easter to local kids to spread joy and encouragement.
• 🛠️ Donations to SkillsUSA when local students don’t have funds to travel and compete in their trades.

My biggest fear isn’t just losing the building, it’s that Burger Boy could go to auction and be turned into something it’s not, and all of that community spirit would be lost too. This restaurant has soul. It’s a part of Caribou’s identity, and I want to keep it that way.

🙏 How You Can Help

If Burger Boy has ever been part of your life, if you’ve shared a meal here, worked here, or brought your kids for ice cream, please consider helping me save it.
Every donation, share, or word of support matters more than I can say.

This isn’t about me. It’s about preserving something that belongs to our community.
With your help, I can keep this place alive, refinance it locally, and make sure Burger Boy continues to serve Caribou the way it always has: with pride, hard work, and heart.

I don’t have much time, but I thought I’d use what time I have left to ask for help. I’m tired. Tired of fighting alone, and tired of fighting in silence. I don’t want a handout. I just need enough breathing room to make a realistic decision when I’m not being crushed by the pressure of losing everything.

In the meantime, we’re still open. Come by and say hello.

From the bottom of my heart,
-Dustin

We will be closed today and tomorrow to give our staff a break and to bounce back from our busy weekend! Thank you for your understanding.

Our thoughts go out to Central Texas this morning. Let this be a reminder that life can change in an instance. Hug your loved ones tight. Be grateful for what you have.

See you all on Wednesday!

This season I decided to take Tuesdays off. Not necessarily to have a day off, but to use the day to get ready for my week with zero interruptions. This particular Tuesday, I spent the day appreciating the FACT that Burger Boy isn’t going anywhere.

For starters, I’ll simply state that I’m a human being. Things happen in my life just as they do everyone else’s. The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own lives. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not.

There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. I’ve always been the person to make things happen.

When faced with adversity I’ve always had the ability to successfully cope with difficult or challenging life experiences. I’ve been able to bounce back from setbacks, always tried to maintain my psychological well-being, and have tried to emerge stronger from all of my hardships. This situation will be no different.

When the problem arose, it was addressed. All parties were notified, (some moved quicker than others) and posts were made before the information became fact. Which led us up to where we were at the end of last week.

When a headline starts with “rumor has it” you really have to take it when a grain of salt, especially when they too didn’t have all the information. My failure to comment wasn’t out of avoidance, it was to not feed into the fact the this was trying to be portrayed as negative.

If the time ever comes where I decide I want to part ways with Burger Boy, I will do it on my own terms. We will continue to operate as normal and I can move past this and focus on my busy summer.

Thank you for the people who reached out to make sure I was okay rather than looking for information to feed into a particular narrative. Tonight I’ll get some sleep knowing that tomorrow I can go back to work doing what I love, with the people who support me.

On a different note, it was HOT today. It would be our luck that the biggest heat wave of the year fell on a day we weren’t opened. But we’ll have plenty of ice cream tomorrow!

I may have grown up without a Father, but I’m very thankful for the positive male influences and role models that I’ve had and continue to have in my life.

Being raised by a single mother, I watched first hand how difficult it was to play the roles of both parents. Today I want to wish EVERYONE, whether you’re a father, a mother playing both roles, grandparents taking on extra responsibility, a stepfather stepping up, an uncle, a cousin… whatever the role, whatever the relation, Happy Fathers day! ❤️

Thank you for being a positive influence in someone’s life, and thank you for all that you do! 🍔

Burger Boy will be open until 4 today so our staff can spend time with their families!

Congratulations to our County Graduates!

If I can give you any words of encouragement it is this:

“Life gets better after high school” False. Life gets better the moment you realize that you want a better life and you put forth the effort to get there.

Hug your friends tight today, this could be the last time you see some of them.

Be nice to your parents. For the last 18 years they’ve watched you grow up, have been there for everything and have seen you every singe day. Now they too have to watch you move on. Things are going to be tough for them. They are sad, they love you, and right now they might be a bit overbearing. Just remember that they are also preparing themselves for your next chapter.

Lastly, go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have always dreamed of. The last thing you want is to regret. You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take.

Your life is a book, welcome to the next chapter.

This morning before all the chaos of the day I took a ride to the Veterans Cemetery and just sat there in silence. Felt the wind blow in my face, listened to the flags flutter in the wind.

While your Memorial Day weekend might be packed with family fun and summer activities— I think it's important to pause the festivities in remembrance of the real meaning and history of Memorial Day. In honor of that sentiment, I wanted to express gratitude to the sacrifice so many have made in service to our country.

“This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veterans Day, it’s not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom.”

Thank you for all you’ve done, and continue to do. 🇺🇸

Burger Boy will be closing early at 4 pm so our employees can enjoy the rest of their day.

Have the best day!!

It’s definitely ice cream weather out there!

Stop in and get yourself some ice cream to help beat the heat! Maybe a little lemonade would help too!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

05/07/2025

Phew, what a busy season it’s been already! And we’re just getting started!

To help keep everything running smoothly with how busy it’s been we’re looking for some additions to our kitchen staff! Some grill experience would be wonderful but not necessary if you’re ready to learn!

To apply you can stop in and ask one of the employees for an application at the counter!

04/24/2025

Happy Thursday!

Our specials for you are:
A Steak and Cheese Sub Basket for $14.47
And a Popcorn Chicken Basket for $9.22!

Don’t forget to grab an ice cream while you’re here and have a wonderful day!!

Good morning!☀️

We’ve made it through our first opening week! We’re so happy to be back at it again! Thank you to all of our customers who made it a very busy first week, and thank you to all of our wonderful employees who have helped make it happen!

The temperatures are finally warming up and although the sun won’t be making much of an appearance this week, we can help you bring in the summer with some food and some ice cream! You might even catch a glimpse of Wren training people on register when you stop in! (He does great helping out but he’s just in it for the lemonade)
