Quick answer: halal options, not a halal restaurant
Betty's says its chicken is prepared halal by its supplier and its beef supplier has recently received halal certification. The restaurants are not halal certified and handle pork, so ask for the grill to be cleaned when you order.
What Does Betty's Burgers Say About Halal?
Betty's says it is not independently halal certified, that its chicken is prepared halal by its supplier, and that its beef supplier has recently received halal certification. That is one short paragraph in its help centre, the only halal statement we found from the chain, and we read it on 31 October 2026. In full:
“Betty’s Burgers is not independently halal certified, however our chicken products are prepared halal from our supplier. Our beef supplier has also recently received halal certification. Upon request, when preparing grilled chicken burgers and beef burgers, we can offer our guests the option of cleaning our grill prior to cooking to ensure no pork or beef products are present.”

Is Betty's Burgers Chicken Halal?
Betty's says its chicken products are prepared halal from its supplier, but it does not name the supplier or a certifier. That makes it the chain's own statement. We have not seen a certificate, and we do not present it as certified.
The same applies to the beef. The help answer says the beef supplier “has also recently received halal certification”, with no date, supplier name or certifier. For a Muslim who wants to see the paper, the honest step is to ask Betty's head office for the certificate and the certifying body.

Is the Grill at Betty's Burgers Shared With Pork?
Yes, unless you ask, because the offer to clean the grill “to ensure no pork or beef products are present” tells you pork is cooked there otherwise. When we read the Chermside menu, two burgers carried a bacon item.
So Betty's is not a halal kitchen with a halal-sourced menu. It is a mixed kitchen that offers a grill clean for two kinds of burger. Fries, sides and anything cooked on other equipment are not covered by that offer.
Ask when you order
Say you would like the grill cleaned before your grilled chicken or beef burger. The offer is Betty's own wording, so you are not asking for a favour.
What Should You Order at Betty's Burgers?
A grilled chicken or beef burger with no bacon, with the grill cleaned first, is the order Betty's own statement covers. Everything else is outside what the chain has said.
Covered by what Betty's says
- Grilled chicken burger, no bacon
- Beef burger, no bacon
- Grill cleaned first, asked at the counter
Not covered, so ask or skip
- Any burger with a bacon item
- Sides and fried items on shared equipment
- Anything you could not see the supplier certificate for
Does Betty's Burgers Use Alcohol in Its Food?
Betty's says no. Its FAQ states, “We do not use alcohol to prepare any of our food.” The Chermside restaurant on HalalHQ is licensed, so alcohol is sold there as a drink, which matters if you want a venue with no alcohol on the premises.

The Verdict: Should Muslims Eat at Betty's Burgers?
It depends on whether you are comfortable with halal-sourced meat cooked in a kitchen that also handles pork. Betty's is open about that: it is not certified, it names no supplier, and it offers a grill clean on request. We list it as halal options, never as fully halal.
If that is not enough for you, a fully halal burger restaurant is the clear choice, and the directory lists them by suburb. If it is enough, ask for the clean grill and a burger with no bacon, and check the Betty's help page again, because the chain can update it.
