Be Thankful this November

So, who's glad the election is over?! We're pretty excited that we can now focus on what's coming up...the Holidays!!!

October was a crazy busy month for us. We really hope you got a chance to enjoy the Brat Burger while we still had it. There will be more opportunities to enjoy monthly specials...like...the Thanksgiving Burger.

 It's something to definitely get you in the mood for the holiday season.
Ground Jenni-O turkey, pecan goat cheese, homemade cranberry sauce, and a scoop of fresh brown gravy. 

Gift Cards Are Here!!!

Speaking of holidays - Who doesn't love a gift card?! Get some of your shopping done early this year and pick up Southern Burger Co. gift cards. These are perfect for every day gifts too! 


One last thing to keep in mind - the overwhelming amount of Holiday parties your getting ready for. Why not have us take care of that?! We have multiple options that will fit your needs.  Please contact kendra@southernburgerco.com for more information. We would love to spend the holidays with you! 

***Don't forget about online ordering and our on-site catering services!**

Stay tuned for updates on where to catch up with the truck!

Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground

Things have been going great here at SBC, and I thought I would touch on the three stores separately.

First, this is prime time for the truck, so the original SoBurg is booming. I don't know what it was about October 13th, but everyone decided to have events and caterings at the same time. If you were one of the venues we had to turn down, I apologize again. The Chattanooga Market Oktoberfest was again a great event, and a big thanks to Paul and Chris of organizing it. You can check out pics on our Facebook page. Also, congrats to the Andersons on their wedding Saturday; we all hope the burgers made it fun!

The Warehouse Row store has definitely picked up since everyone has returned from Summer vacations and are back in the school swing. We've had great feedback on both the Brat Burger and Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, both of which are seasonal. As the Brat ends on October 31, be on the lookout for our props to the pilgrims: The Thx Burger. With fresh ground turkey, gravy, and cranberry pecan goat cheese, this burger is no joke.

Finally, to our Ooltewah followers: Don't despair, Spring '13 will bring burgers. We've finalized plans for the store, and are working on bids from contractors right now. I have a feeling my Holidays are going to the filled with wall paint decisions, tile choices, and dozens of fixtures. It's ok though, you're worth it.

It's Written on Our Faces

Since the opening we've been really running. Daily I'm still reminded and encouraged by just how many people are excited about SBC. Table visits are a big part of what we do, and as I walk around and introduce myself to people I always ask some variation of "Where are you coming from?”

While most people refer to their jobs or homes, I can't help but notice how the details they don't talk about vary so widely. A father and his daughter wearing brands such as Carhart, Mountain Hardware, and North Face- there to grab a bite after a hike? Then, there are the three women and a baby girl, ages (app.) 60, 40, 20, and 2 out for lunch- four generations? And finally, the four business men who are clearly there to talk shop; the suit pulled back, tie over the shoulder, and (justified) irritation by my bother says volumes.

While also rewarding, it's research like this that says we're succeeding. If I can ever guess who our next customer will be, or I stare out into a sea of similar faces, then I'll know something is terribly wrong. Variation is key, and we resonate with people of all backgrounds and stories.

Thanks for choosing SBC. We really are happy to see you.

up and running!

With nearly two weeks under our belts, we couldn't be more excited.

We officially opened on January 5, 2012. The crowd was huge and the response was surreal.  


It was such an honor to have all the support from all of you!! We were also incredibly grateful for the support from the Chattanooga Chamber and local elected officials.

 To start the say we had a ribbon cutting and the Chattanooga Chamber gave us a proclamation and honored January 5 as Southern Burger Day. Woot.


After the ceremony we finally served our first customers of the Warehouse Row location. Thank you ladies and everyone else who showed up.


Don't forget we are open Monday- Saturday, 11-6. We also cater private events. 
Call us at (423)825-4919 or email at cate@southernburgerco.com.



"Don't just kinda take a bite."

Monday, January 2, 2012

It's time.



Don't miss the big event!! 

We will have a ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce at 11:00 a.m. and then the special on combos will start at 11:30. Please tell your friends and family. We will also be handing out a coupon for future visits, while coupons last. Don't be the one who missed out on the great deals, as well as our first day of business at Warehouse Row.



The restaurant hours will be 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., Monday- Saturday. Breakfast to follow in upcoming weeks.
