Each year, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay teams up with dozens of local bars and restaurants to offer foodies a variety of unique burgers and accompanying sides. In addition to several take-out and dine-in burger deals, this 10 day-long collaboration also features drink specials, social media giveaways and the chance to vote for your favorite burger in Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay Burger Week 2023 runs from Thursday, Nov. 2 to Sunday, Nov. 12.

There are almost 50 restaurants participating in this year’s Burger Week—from local institutions like El Cap, Ferg's and Gigglewaters to burger-centric spots like Nebraska Mini-Mart and Butter’s Burgers, plus scenic, waterfront restaurants including St. Pete Pier’s Teak and Hula Bay.

If you’d like to participate in any of these restaurants' deals throughout next week, all you have to do is ask an employee about its featured Burger Week special. For the full line-up of participating Burger Week concepts on both sides of the bridge, head to tampabayburgerweek.com.
