Tampa Bay’s burger scene is on a roll.
There’s less than a week left of Tampa Bay Burger Week. That means it’s time to order takeout from your favorite spot or head to participating dine-in restaurants + ask for the Tampa Bay Burger Week special.
And all burgers at the 35 participating establishments are under $10.
These eateries are some of our favorites, and they are all participating in the fun.
Not to mention, you can get some steals on Funky Buddha and Tito’s Handmade Vodka cocktails at some of these spots. A portion of proceeds benefits Feeding Tampa Bay.

A new homebase for Feeding Tampa Bay
A rendering of Feeding Tampa Bay’s planned headquarters on Causeway in Tampa. The facility will include warehouses for food distribution, a health clinic, a grocery store, and a job training center. | Rendering by Feeding Tampa Bay
Feeding Tampa Bay has been around since 1981, but it wasn’t until three years ago that the nonprofit vowed to end hunger + food insecurity in the region altogether.
Through the pandemic, the nonprofit managed to supply free healthy groceries for people with medical issues, buildmore food pantries in the community’s neediest schools, and provide financial resources to those in need.
And now they’re looking to expand their space to help meet those goals.
Plans for the new warehouse include the following:
A job training center
A health clinic
A grocery store
Offices
A center for assistance with housing and benefits.
THE WRAP
Today’s issue was written by Brad.
Editor’s pick: Here’s a fun fact about me — I am a total clutz. I broke my wrist, nose, and skull earlier this year by riding an electric longboard through the streets of St. Pete. So, despite the vote, I don’t think I’ll hop on a skateboard for a while. 🛹
