In the quietest way possible, BurgerFi has announced that its new St. Pete location will open Friday, Dec. 18.
The location began construction back in September for the Central Avenue spot, without a set opening date. Now, BurgerFi has updated its website with a down-to-the-second countdown.
The new restaurant at 855 Central Ave. joins a whole slew of locations in the Tampa Bay area including one at the University of South Florida, one in Post SoHo Square and one in Trinity.
Burgers are, of course, the star of the menu. BurgerFi has 10 different ones to choose from including the Breakfast All Day Burger—Angus beef, bacon, American cheese, maple syrup, fried egg, hash brown, grilled onions and ketchup, and the limited time white cheddar mac & cheeseburger—Angus beef, American cheese and crispy white cheddar bacon jalapeño mac & cheese.
For those who aren’t feeling beef, the spot offers chicken sandwiches including one with homemade hot pickles, fresh jalapeños, ghost pepper honey and spicy mayo, as well as chicken tenders and Beyond Meat vegetarian and vegan burgers.
Complete your meal with the Cry + Fry onion ring and french fry combo or a signature milkshake.
