Hamburger Mary Coming to Ybor (Tampa)

Here is some fairly new information regarding the opening of a new franchise in Ybor.

"ABOUT US"There's Something About..."It all started in San Francisco back in 1972, where our casual style "family dining" concept was born. Now there are several Hamburger Mary's restaurants across the U.S., with plans to expand even further. So what makes Mary's so special?Hamburger Mary's franchises are "open-air bar and grilles for open-minded people," where guests enjoy a flamboyant dining experience. Everyone is welcome at Hamburger Mary's, but our concept is unique in that we are the ONLY national franchise actively marketing to the gay community.When you walk into a Hamburger Mary's it's like walking into Mary's home, where you will be greeted with a warm smile and friendly (if somewhat saucy) service. Each restaurant may be unique in its eclectic décor, but they all provide the friendliest service and highest quality food.Nothing beats a Hamburger Mary's burger, always made-to-order with an assortment of fun toppings on a bakery-fresh bun (For the health-conscious, we offer turkey burgers and veggie patties as an alternative). But there's more to Mary's than hamburgers... We offer a full menu including our famous homemade chili, soups made daily, a variety of salads, appetizers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts (featuring deep-fried Twinkies and "Mary Tyler S'Mores!").� There's even a special menu for Mary's "Little Lambs" under 10 years.Mary believes in the old adage "you are what you eat." Therefore, we serve only the freshest meats, chicken and vegetables. No salads will be served unless they are garden fresh, and all our burgers are made-to-order. We also use no trans-fats in our frying oils, where available.Hamburger Mary's restaurants are open for lunch and dinner, with a full-service bar serving up delicious cocktails and the best Bloody Mary! Most locations have a patio and offer late-night entertainment such as karaoke, bingo and drag shows. Mary is also big on supporting local charities, so each location does its part to give back to the community."
