Minnesotans know good burgers, and for one mouthwatering week in August, participating restaurants across the Twin Cities and the surrounding suburbs will serve exclusive $10 Burger Week creations. From Monday, Aug. 10, to Sunday, Aug. 16, you’ll have the chance to discover new restaurants, revisit local favorites, earn points, and compete for prizes.
If you’re as excited for MN Burger Week as we are, keep in mind these five things while preparing your Burger Week route.
1. Download the App and Plan Your Route
The competition has already begun. Download the official MN Burger Week app today to create your account, browse participating restaurants, map out your burger route, and start earning points through in-app contests before Burger Week officially kicks off.
With over 60 participating restaurants across the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs, there’s no shortage of burgers to add to your bucket list. Discover new favorites and revisit local classics, from Northern Taphouse, Le Burger 4304, Francis Burger Joint, The Tavern Grill Restaurant + Bar, and The 5-8 Club, then use the app to explore the full lineup and map out your burger route.
By the time Aug. 10 arrives, you’ll have your Burger Week game plan ready, be climbing the leaderboard, and be one step closer to claiming bragging rights as Minnesota’s biggest burger lover.
2. Check In While You Dine
During the week of August 10-16, visit participating restaurants, order their $10 burger specials, and check in through the app to earn points. The more Burger Week burgers you try, the more points you earn. It’s that simple!
Each Burger Week check-in earns you points, the more Burger Week burgers you try, the more points you earn! Check in at five participating restaurants to be automatically entered to win the Grand Prize of $1,000 cash.
3. Plan Ahead for Popular Burgers
Burger Week is expected to be busy, and there’s a chance that a restaurant might run out of their specialty burgers. Restaurants are encouraged to keep their social media updated with wait times and how many burgers they have remaining, keep an eye on their channels for updates.
4. Don’t Stop at Just the Burger
Round out your meal with an appetizer, side or drink—and earn more points while you’re at it! Select extras, including appetizers, sides and drinks from Official Vodka Partner Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Official Whiskey Partner Bubba’s Whiskey, can unlock bonus points at participating restaurants. Check the MN Burger Week app for details on where and how to earn.
5. Support the Staff Behind the Burger
Restaurant staff will be extra busy during Burger Week, and with burgers being offered at a discount, we recommend tipping at least 20% on your order.
The countdown to MN Burger Week is on. Download the app, start building your burger bucket list, and prepare for a week of exclusive burgers, friendly competition, and plenty of delicious discoveries.
