Beetlejuice Burgers Are Haunting Royal Stacks But Only for a Limited Time
If you hear voices whispering “It’s showtime!” next time you walk past Royal Stacks, don’t be alarmed — it’s just Melbourne doing what Melbourne does best: turning a theatre moment into a burger frenzy.
Royal Stacks
To mark the arrival of Beetlejuice The Musical at the Regent Theatre, Royal Stacks has gone full afterlife-chic with a limited-edition menu that’s as theatrical as it is stacked. No shrimpy Day-O numbers or haunted house gimmicks here — just a playful collision of pop culture and patties that’s got Beetlejuice fans and burger fiends lining up for a bite of the underworld.
Twelve Royal Stacks locations are getting the Beetlejuice treatment, complete with themed packaging and a line-up that reads like a séance guest list. There’s The Lydia Deetz burger (moody, obviously), The Beetlejuice burger (unapologetically chaotic), The Adam Maitland chicken roll (neat as a ghost in khakis), and The Delia Deetz prawn roll (dripping in drama and probably wasabi mayo). Even the sides and shakes got a curtain call — The Otho Fenlock side, The Barbara Maitland shake, and the scene-stealing Sandworm Shake.
It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’s exactly the kind of nonsense we live for. Forget food trucks shaped like coffins or haunted doughnuts — this is fan service done properly, with just enough irreverence to keep it fun without feeling like a high school drama teacher designed it.
Royal Stacks has been Melbourne’s burger king of pop culture riffs since opening in 2016. From Drake-themed specials to burger collabs with local artists, they’ve built a rep for knowing exactly how to speak fluent hype without compromising on quality. This Beetlejuice drop? A textbook case. It’s camp, it’s crunchy, and it goes down a treat whether you’ve got theatre tickets or not.
Pro tip: hit up a pre-show feast, then watch the real Beetlejuice try and outdo your burger. Or go post-show and debrief with a shake so purple it probably glows in the dark.
The Beetlejuice menu is haunting Royal Stacks until the musical wraps its Melbourne run. Then it vanishes — poof — like a demon with stage fright.
