Celebrate the county’s creative chefs February 26–March 9.
Santa Cruz Restaurant Week and Good Times are pleased to announce the eighth annual Santa Cruz Burger Week: 12 days of burger love, as only Santa Cruz can do it. The spinoff of Santa Cruz Restaurant Week—an annual fine dining event that has enjoyed growing success in its 16 years—includes more participating restaurants.
The inaugural Santa Cruz Burger Week in 2017 was a smashing success, with restaurants scrambling to keep up with demand. Last year participating restaurants requested that Santa Cruz Burger Week expanded, so for 2025 it now spans 12 nights, from February 26–March 9.
The Burger Week concept is simple: Each participating restaurant can offer one or more specially priced burgers at price points of $12, $15 or $18. It may be àla carte or include sides. This event is an opportunity for local chefs to debut a new burger or introduce more customers to their favorite or most popular burgers. Burgers may be beef, chicken, lamb, fish, portobello, vegetarian, vegan — or whatever a chef might create. There are plant-based options too!
Santa Cruz Burger Week shines a spotlight on the local food culture in Santa Cruz County, allowing restaurateurs and chefs to showcase their individuality and creative talents, and diners to try a new restaurant or new menu item for the first time.
A list of participating restaurants and their featured burgers is regularly updated on SantaCruzBurgerWeek.com through the February 26 cutoff. Good Times’ Santa Cruz Burger Week issue will be published on February 26.
Visitors to the site can learn about participating restaurants, make reservations, sign up for email alerts and follow Santa Cruz Restaurant Week on Instagram. Giveaways for gift certificates to participating restaurants are held daily on Santa Cruz Restaurant Week’s Instagram page.
