Burger Mondays Bar & Grille, the creation of Matt and Suzie Jones, is a casual, upscale, made-from-scratch burger joint that serves more than just burgers. We opened in February 2011 in our hometown of Binghamton, NY. We chose the downtown area to help contribute to its revitalization. There were only a few places to eat downtown when we opened and now there are dozens.

Prior to opening Burger Mondays, Matt worked as the executive chef at Number 5 Restaurant, a steakhouse in Binghamton. During football season a group of our friends would gather at the bar for the Monday night game and each week someone would be tasked with bringing in burger ingredients. Matt would make a different burger each week for the group. This weekly gathering sparked the idea for us to open our own place.

It has always been a dream of ours to own our own business. The name Burger Mondays is a nod to this weekly Monday burger gathering. The fact that we came up with the concept, built it, created the menu options, and have been successfully operating the establishment, has been very satisfying for the both of us.

Matt, who is also the restaurant’s executive chef, created the entire menu.

We take serving high quality food seriously and describe our menu as "fine dining on a bun.” The burgers are made with a special blend of fresh ground meat that is hand-pattied. The house-made sauces add a unique flavor. The burgers are paired with fresh hand cut fries and a house-made pickle. There are daily specials and we often take custom requests. If we have the items on hand, we will make it.

Our drink mixes are also made in-house and change with the season. The most popular menu items are the Classic Burger, Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls, Calamari Salad, Ahi Tuna Burger, and the Delmonico Steak. Matt’s favorite burger is his namesake, The Jonesy. It’s made with a double-stack of pork and beef, caramelized fennel, chili pepper salad, pancetta, asiago cheese, Worcestershire reduction and housemade aioli.

We also offer catering services to include fine dining style, multiple course weddings and private parties (both on- and off-site). We work with clients to create a custom menu for each event based on client tastes and preferences. We are also developing a line of bottled, custom-made sauces for retail.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
