July 15-21 is the week for one of the greatest events of Nashville’s culinary calendar with the return of the Nashville Scene's Burger Week! During the fifth annual event, aka #SceneBurgerWeek19, dozens of your favorite Middle Tennessee restaurants will be vying for your votes by serving up original burgers for just $5 all week. After tasting your way around town, you can vote for the best of the best at the event website, with the winning restaurant earning an entry into the 2020 World Food Championships and, perhaps most importantly, Nashville’s "Best Burger" Bragging Rights until next year’s contest!
While it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to hit them all, here’s a current list of the participating eateries so you can plan your attack on your arteries:
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum (222 a Southern Eatery)
Cafe Coco
Marriott Bonvoy (Decker and Dyer)
Hotel Indigo Nashville (The District)
Double Dogs - Hillsboro Village
Double Dogs - Sylvan Heights
Drake's Cool Springs
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse-Nashville
Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Nashville
Makeready Libations & Liberation
Stout Burgers and Beers - Brentwood
Subculture Urban Cuisine and Cafe
As always, the organizers ask you to expect some lines at these restaurants, because they're offering such great deals on $5 burgers. So please be patient and don’t slam anybody on Yelp just because you had to wait a few minutes for your bargain meal. Plus, some places may very well run out of burgers if you show up at the end of service, so be flexible and please don’t forget to tip as if you were paying regular prices. These folks work hard, and everybody wants to win!
