Our Story

On September 3rd, 2020, a new restaurant that featured burgers, seafood and more opened up on St. Pete Beach. This restaurant was Burger-ish, a Premiere Burgery and Bar and Grill. Burger-ish has quickly proven themselves to have the best burger on St. Pete Beach, the best crab cakes on St. Pete Beach, the best food on St. Pete Beach, the best cocktails on St. Pete Beach and the best atmosphere on St. Pete Beach! 

Owner, Jeffrey Mercado, chose to open Burger-ish right on St. Pete Beach because he loves the beach, and St. Pete is one of the most beautiful beaches in the United States. He felt like it was his mission to bring a modern sports bar with great food and Latin-Carribean flair to the beach, filling in a gap he felt was missing from the local scene. Jeffrey was involved in a family restaurant for many years, but it was time for him to forge his own path in the food world. His main goals for Burger-ish are to offer an amazing experience to his customers and the local community and to grow with the community. Burger-ish offers live, local music every weekend, a comedy show once monthly, and a variety of sports, including NFL and UFC, on their 12 big screen TVs.
