About Burger Week
Lexington Burger Week features one-of-a-kind, off-menu burgers at participating restaurants across the city. Each restaurant creates a special burger, and participating chefs once again try to craft the most unique burgers in town. It's the best week of the year!
Before you go
Tips for Burger Week
A few friendly pointers to make your burger trail smooth, tasty, and kind to the folks behind the grill.
They may run out
(They will make more tomorrow.) If a place runs out toward the end of a shift, go back the next day, earlier, order your burger, and thank them for working their butts off for this event.
There will be waits
This is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many of these restaurants — expect that there will be waits, and plan accordingly!
Please tip generously & give thanks
Your total bill will likely be lower than usual thanks to Burger Week prices, and the people serving you are working harder this week than at any other point in the year. Please tip generously!
Buy a drink or other food
Pick up some fries and a beer. You'll enjoy yourself more.
Check before you go
Please check restaurants' websites or social media for operating times and carry-out policies before heading out. We encourage restaurants to post online if they've sold out for the day.
