Not In The Mood For Meat? 5 Must Try Items For You

Are you, your friends or family not big meat eaters? No worries, there's something for everyone at Burger Mondays. Below are 5 meatless items that you’ll want to try next time you stop in.

Falafel Burger

This “secret menu” item, which can only be found on our mobile app is one meatless item that should be at the top of your bucket list. Chef Matt takes a house-made chickpea and herb fritter and tops it with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, yogurt sauce and hot sauce. It’s a taste of the Middle East right here in Binghamton!

Caesar Salad

Salads can be good. Actually, salads can be great, especially when we’re taking about the Burger Mondays Caesar Salad. The romaine lettuce is perfectly tossed with shaved Asiago cheese, toasted croutons and house-made creamy Caesar dressing. We personally like to kick this salad up a notch by adding an Ahi tuna burger to the top of it. Pure salad perfection.

Ahi Tuna Burger

Simple and delicious are two words that describe this burger. The sushi-grade Ahi Tuna is cooked rare and topped with Asian-style cabbage slaw and finished with wasabi aioli. This burger is light and savory with a slight kick from the wasabi.

Animal Lover

This is probably our most popular meatless dish, and rightfully so. The flavor profile of the Animal Lover is off-the-charts. The pesto-marinated portabella mushroom is artfully topped with roasted red peppers, cucumber, tomato, house-made mozzarella cheese (yes, Chef Matt makes his own mozzarella cheese), balsamic reduction and house aioli. This burger is savory, sweet and delicious. Highly recommended for anyone abstaining from meat.

Fish Fry

We’re not kidding when we tell you this is the best fish fry you’ll ever have. Every Friday during Lent, Chef Matt dishes out orders of his famous fish and chips. The wild caught cod is Guinness battered, perfectly fried, topped with house-made tartar sauce and drizzled with a champagne vinaigrette. This dish is fried perfection. You’ll have to act fast though because there’s only two Friday’s left during Lent!

See you soon at Burger Mondays!

Nothing Says "I Love You" Like Burger Mondays

Let us set the scene for you. It’s February 14. You’re sitting in a cozy booth, staring lovingly into your significant other’s eyes from across the table. A light snow begins to fall outside, the flakes sticking to the pavement, creating a dazzling wintery scene. It’s a brisk 25 degrees but you’re toasty warm as you enjoy a specialty martini while your partner sips on a glass of house Cabernet.

Your waiter promptly brings your appetizers over. The first plate to hit the table is an order of the sticky ribs: slow cooked, tender beef morsels topped with a sweet and savory Thai sauce. The aroma wafting from the sticky ribs is heavenly and you can barely wait to dig into them. The waiter then gently puts down your second appetizer, the mac and cheese. Steam is rising from the perfectly toasted black truffle crumb topping. You simply cannot wait to crack through it and into the five cheese blend of macaroni that awaits below it.

After devouring your appetizers, your entrees and another round of drinks have arrived. You decided on the Inferno Burger - chipotle spiked beef, cajun bacon, pepper jack cheese, mango habanero ketchup, lettuce, tomato - although you were highly considering the Fried Chicken Sandwich, Ahi Tuna Burger or the French Dip. Your partner opted for the Surf and Turf on special that night which consists of a perfectly cooked Delmonico steak accompanied by jumbo garlic and herb shrimp. Both entrees are succulent and perfectly prepared.

Fullness is setting in but the temptation of homemade dessert calls you to continue your culinary odyssey. You’re tempted by Apple Strudel but ultimately decide to split the Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich. The cookie is soft, the ice cream cold and scrumptious and your sweet tooth satiated.

You and your partner finish your beverages, pay your bill and stroll out into the the snow. You’re ready to head home to snuggle up by the fire and watch your favorite movies.

You’re probably wondering where you were? Burger Mondays of course. The most romantic and delicious place you can visit this Valentine’s Day.

Guinness Chili
"house-made secret recipe"

Nothing quite warms you up like a big bowl of chili. At Burger Mondays we do chili a little differently. Although it's a house-made, secret recipe we will say that it contains over a dozen different herbs and spices and is enhanced by Guiness beer. This flavorful and hearty chili will have you feeling satisfied and toasty on a cold winter's day.

Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

We’ve packed the deliciousness of a Philly Cheesesteak into bite-sized morsels that are guaranteed to make your mouth water.

The Pop Frank

You’ve probably thought about ordering this 100 times but could never pull yourself away from your normal order. Well, it’s time to experience what you’ve been missing this whole time. The Pop Frank is a next-level burger. Why? Because it’s marinated for a full 48 hours before it’s char grilled. The flavor from Chef Matt’s secret marinade in conjunction with the open-flame can be tasted in every bite which is only enhanced by our famous Pop’s glaze (top-secret sauce that tastes both familiar and brand new at the same time). The Pop Frank is a must-try for any serious burger fan.

Each bite will melt in your mouth and awaken your taste buds. Sticky Ribs are meant for sharing but after your first bite all decorum will be thrown out the window.
