Let’s “Patty” Like its 1999

Burger Week is Back and

It’s a Total Blast from the Past!

Get ready to patty like it’s 1999 because we’re just days away from one of the tastiest weeks of the year—Burger Week! From retro vibes to outrageous burger creations, this is your chance to take a delicious journey through our town’s best eateries, all while channeling your inner 90s kid. No tickets, no coupons, no secret handshake required—just a serious appetite and a passport that’s ready to be stamped with cheesy, beefy goodness.

This year’s theme is a full-on throwback: restaurants are dialing up the nostalgia and serving burgers that scream Saved by the Bun and Full Grill House. Each participating spot has whipped up a one-of-a-kind burger, competing for the coveted title of Most Creative Burger of the Year. So, dig out your flannel shirts, pop in that mixtape, and make a plan—because you won’t want to miss a single bite. Where the burgers are hot and the puns are even hotter. Check out this delicious line up…

Sandy’s Racing & Gaming

They’re not playing around this year—unless it’s Double Dare! The Double Dare Burger is messy, gooey, and totally worth the challenge. With mozzarella, fried banana peppers, candied bacon, and neon green queso “slime,” it’s got 90s game show energy written all over it.

If you prefer your burger served with a side of sitcom nostalgia, the Full House Burger is stacked like the Tanner family’s bedrooms. We’re talking bacon patties, prime rib, jalapeño poppers, caramelized onions, and more. One bite and you’ll be shouting “You got it, dude!”

Jerk Riley’s

Keep it classy with a twist in the Irish Burger—a smash patty topped with corned beef, American and Swiss cheese, lettuce, onion, and mustard. Sauerkraut optional but encouraged for full Irish flair.

The Mill

Welcome to Good Burger, home of The Good Burger. Simple, iconic, and nostalgia-packed with Ed’s secret sauce, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle—all cozied up in a brioche bun. Say it with us: “Can I take your order?”

The Winchester

The Return of the Mac is the ultimate mic drop. Juicy beef topped with creamy mac n’ cheese, crispy bacon, and a special sauce. It’s bold, brash, and everything your inner 90s dance track could want.

Smokin’ J’s

Let’s go purple and mysterious with The Burger Formerly Known as Prince. This indulgent gem brings together two beef patties, white American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and a secret “Purple Rain” sauce that’s smooth, unforgettable, and borderline legendary.

Fat Patty’s

Ready to feel notorious? The Notorious B.I.G. Patty hits hard with two stacked patties, American cheese, bacon, onion rings, and Bourbon BBQ sauce. It’s like a rap album on a bun.

Or maybe you want to Live La Vida Loca? The Livin’ La Vida Loca Patty explodes with cheddar jack, street corn queso, tri-color tortilla strips, and chipotle ranch. It's a nacho-style party wrapped up in a burger that hits harder than Y2K panic.

So, if you’re wondering how, you can take part in this tantalizing journey for your tastebuds, It's as easy as 1-2-3…

1. Visit a participating restaurant—no tickets or pre-registration needed.

2. Order their featured Burger Week item.

3. Grab your Burger Week Passport, collect stamps, and share your burger adventure on social media with friends and fellow foodies.

And don’t forget—after stuffing yourself silly, take a sweet little detour to Sweet Peace Bakery for the perfect ending: brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and more. Because nothing follows a burger binge better than a sugar high.

Burger Week kicked off yesterday but don’t worry there you still have time take part and relive your favorite decade, one outrageous burger at a time. Burger Week is going on all week and ends on Sunday, June.1.  So, rally your crew, crank up the dial-up modem sound for effect, and get ready to bite into the best thing to happen since Dunkaroos came back. See you out there, burger lovers!
