Restaurants offer juicy burger night bargains
Patricia TaloricoEDITOR'S NOTE: This list was updated on Jan. 23.
Everyone loves a bargain, especially in January when bank accounts are less than hefty after the recent holiday spending blitz.
Craving a big, fat, juicy burger, but don't feel like spending a lot of coin? No worries.
Here are some day-by-day burger specials we found at area restaurants.
Over the past few years, we've featured burger night lists before, and this one has been updated.
There are some very good deals. For instance, RedFire Grill and Steakhouse in Hockessin, which has won awards over the years at the annual Delaware Burger Battle fundraiser, including the 2017 critic's choice award, offers half price burgers on Mondays.
Keep in mind, take-out typically is not an option at most restaurants. Almost all specials are dine-in only.
