How It Works
Every $12 burger sold sends $1 directly to the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank. Burgers are served a la carte, and ordering sides and drinks is encouraged to show extra support for the participating spots. Burger week specials are dine-in only, so plan accordingly.
A few things worth knowing before you go: tip generously, expect a wait at busy spots, and if a restaurant runs out toward the end of the night, go back the next day. Organizers also encourage you to use the week as a reason to try a restaurant you’ve never visited before.
