This is the sequel to the popular 1997 comedy classic that followed the misadventures of two hapless teenagers working at a fast-food joint called Good Burger.
Filled with quirky humor and iconic catchphrases, the original movie, filmed in California, became a cult favorite for its lighthearted comedy.
Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson return to reprise their iconic characters, Ed and Dexter Reed.
Welcome to Good Burger, home of the good burger, and our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of Good Burger 2.
The Good Burger restaurant location
The Good Burger restaurant was filmed in an old Friendly's chain restaurant at 1883 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence.
As you can see in the picture, the facade was partially created with some movie magic CGI.

As the local press reported, the entire process of transformation and filming took place from May to June 2023.
There are plans to demolish the building at some point to build a car wash, so the producers were able to use the site as a movie set without many restrictions.
After his latest failure in his career as an inventor, Dexter decides to take a Greyhound bus to visit his old colleague Ed.
During the trip, stock footage of various random locations appears, including the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey, the Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Ángeles, and the main street of Crescenta-Montrose.
The bus stop where Ed comes to pick up Dexter in the crazy Burger Mobile is located on Wayland Avenue in Providence.
The original Burger Mobile was a 1975 AMC Pacer with a bizarre hamburger on its hood.
In 2019, the rusted, dilapidated remains of the car were for sale in Daytona Beach, Florida for $10,000.

The entire burger troupe goes to make a delivery to a fictional singer, Luna Foxx, played by comedian Nicole Byer.
Just before arriving at the venue, there is an establishing shot of the Crypto.Com Arena (formerly known as the Staples Center) and the downtown Los Angeles skyline at sunset.

However, the interior of the club was filmed at The Strand Ballroom in downtown Providence.
Opened in 1915, this stunning theater and ballroom with its beautifully ornate decor is currently the oldest theater in the city.

The roller skating scene was filmed at the United Skates of America in Rumford.
This entertainment center includes a roller skating rink, a laser tag area, and a climbing tower.

The 32-and-a-half bathroom MegaCorp mansion was filmed at the historic Aldrich Mansion on the scenic Narragansett Bay in Warwick.
With its sprawling gardens, waterfront views, and elegant interiors, this magnificent 19th-century house serves as a popular venue for weddings, events, and cultural gatherings.

The MegaCorp or Mega Good Burger headquarters was filmed in the new Seth Kurn Student Center on the campus of the New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) in East Greenwich.

The top of the building was a CGI image inspired by the massive 459-foot (140-meter) M Thai Tower at the All Seasons Place skyscraper complex in Bangkok.

The location where the duo falls asleep spinning in the car is the Paul Grande Jr. Park in Silver Lake, Providence.

The brief scene where Ed fantasizes about becoming a world-famous opera singer was also filmed in one of the opulent rooms of the Aldrich Mansion.

I'm always blown away by how they're able to transform an ordinarily dilapidated building into something that looks so realistic and believable. This was an excellent read. Thanks so much for doing the research.
I've watched Good Burger 2 a couple of times since its release and was curious about its filming locations. You answered most of the questions I had in my mind.
Now, I'm curious about which house was used for Ed's home.

That’s not how the Good Burger 2 looked in real life, believe it or not. It looked different in person! I lived near it.
