Everyone’s favorite fast food staple is celebrating its very own special holiday this May 28!
They say that when in doubt, you can never go wrong with a burger. True enough, almost all fast food restaurants serve burgers together with fries — they truly deserve the ‘fast food staple’ title! What’s great about them is that they come in all sizes and customizations (by you or the restaurant itself). If you’re up for special releases and deals, then you’ve got to celebrate National Hamburger Day from your favorite fast food restaurants!
We’ve rounded up all of the best surprises coming for you this National Burger Day. Check them out and add them to your calendar!
Buffalo’s Cafe
Buffalo’s Cafe is known for serving authentic buffalo-style wings, but they’re still serving up burgers this National Burger Day! They’re celebrating the special holiday by offering the original Canyon Burger and Tumbleweed Potato Chips for $11.99 at participating locations.
If you choose to celebrate National Burger Day at Buffalo’s Cafe, you can also order their wings to make your meal even better. The great thing about them is that they only source medium-sized wings to ensure high-quality texture and taste. There are even 13 housemade sauces that you can choose from!
Buffalo Wild Wings
Speaking of chicken wings, Buffalo Wild Wings is also entering the scene this National Burger Day! If you’re craving a certain burger from them, then May 28 is the day to treat yourself, as they’re offering half off any burger. This includes the Triple Bacon Cheeseburger, All-American Cheeseburger, and more. To score this amazing deal, you need to order them for takeout or delivery from Buffalo Wild Wings GO. Just use the promo code ‘GOBURGER’.

And since we’re talking about Buffalo Wild Wings, you might want to try their specialty wings. Now’s the perfect time to enjoy their All You Can Eat Wings deal, which includes Traditional Boneless ($19.99) and Mix & Match ($24.99). They’re available from Monday to Thursday for dine-in only.
Hurricane Grill & Wings
The chicken wing restaurants are never giving their burgers a rest as Hurricane Grill & Wings is joining in the National Burger Day fun! They’re offering the classic Steak Burger and Fries for only $9.99. The offer will be valid for dine-in and online orders at participating locations.
If you’re not feeling like eating any burger (but got pulled by your friends for the special offer), then you can always choose something else. Hurricane Grill & Wings also serves jumbo chicken wings with 35 signature sauces. They also offer other menu items like tacos and seafood.
Native Grill & Wings
Another amazing deal to take note of is from Native Grill & Wings, as they’re offering their My Native Burger for only $8 on May 28! The offer will be valid for both dine-in and online orders at participating locations. The My Native Burger is filled with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and your choice of cheese on a flavorful patty.
Shake Shack
It isn’t just National Burger Day at Shake Shack; the brand is celebrating National Burger Month this May! Since May 1, Shake Shack has been rotating a schedule of free burgers for a $10 purchase or more. They already offered the SmokeShack that ended last May 11. They are currently offering Bacon Cheeseburger until May 18.
Here’s more of what the Shack will offer during the remaining days of May:
- May 19 – 25: Free Avocado Bacon Burger, which is filled with freshly sliced avocado, applewood smoked bacon, and American cheese.
- May 26 – June 1: Free ShackBurger, which features American cheese, lettuce, and tomato, all smothered with ShackSauce.
To score a free burger, purchase $10 or more via the Shake Shack app, the brand’s website, or in-store kiosks using the code: BURGERMONTH.
Sonic
Not available on the 28th? Don’t worry; Sonic will be celebrating National Burger Day a day earlier on May 27. After 5 p.m., the chain will offer Half Price on Sonic Cheeseburgers when you order through their app.

You can pair your cheeseburgers with a shake, as starting May 19, you can score their Half Price Shakes daily after 5 p.m. Like the cheeseburger deal, the offer will be valid once you order through the official Sonic app. You can choose from the flavors chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. They’re handmixed from their soft serve component and finished off with a whipped topping and a cherry on top. The offer will be valid for any size!
TooJay’s

TooJay’s is celebrating National Burger Month with the debut of their new Pastrami Burger! This burger is packed with a juicy sirloin patty rolled in pastrami rub. It is also topped with tender pastrami, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle mayo, served together with French fries and a pickle. The Pastrami Burger is priced at $17.49 and is available at all of TooJay’s 19 locations in Florida.
White Castle
A burger is a burger, no matter what size it is! Your favorite White Castle classic, Original Sliders, also slips in National Burger Day! They’re offering a limited-time six Original Sliders for only $4. Each Slider will cost 67 cents, which will be less than the price of Original Sliders back in 2022. Cool right?
The reason behind this is that White Castle wanted to offer value during these times when their customers needed it the most. Yup, it isn’t only a National Burger Day special deal as the brand is committed to serving the deal while it’s available. They’re up for grabs now in all locations except Florida.
For even more value, this exciting deal will join the returning 12-piece Chicken Rings for only $3.99. They’re available in both Classic and Cheddar Blast flavors, which you can enjoy with any Slider Combo.

From The Club
Man, I’m so excited for National Burger Day, but with all of these deals, I just need to choose one fast food place (or two at most) to avail myself of the deal. It’s a good thing that places like Shake Shack and White Castle will be offering their own deals until the end of May or until they’re up for grabs. Surely, I won’t miss the opportunity to get half the price or free burgers!
