The Burger King Whopper Bar permanently closed on April 21, 2026, after roughly 17 years, with its kitchen walled off behind a construction scrim ahead of the Five Guys conversion.
In April 2026 Universal announced the Burger King Whopper Bar would close and be reconcepted as a Five Guys, projected to open later that summer, trading CityWalk's most affordable option for a pricier build-your-own burger menu.
The world's first Burger King Whopper Bar opened at Universal CityWalk in March 2009, a premium open-kitchen concept that let guests customize Whoppers, Double Whoppers, or the new Steakhouse XT from a menu of more than 20 toppings.
