Detroit Burger Week 2026 runs Monday, July 13 through Sunday, July 19, with metro Detroit restaurants serving special burgers priced between $7 and $10. One week, one excuse, dozens of kitchens showing off. Here is how it works, who is participating, and how to plan your week of burgers.
This is the rare food week where the math always works. A signature burger from a real kitchen for single digits is the best deal in metro Detroit dining this month. For year-round picks, see our Detroit food trucks guide and our Detroit brunch spots.

How Does Detroit Burger Week Work?
Simple. Participating restaurants each create a Burger Week special priced between $7 and $10. You walk in during the week, order it, and that is the whole game. No passes, no tickets.
The official Detroit Burger Week app is the cheat code: it lists every participating restaurant, the burger each one is serving, prices, and hours, and it lets you check in at each stop to earn points and unlock prizes. Download it before you plan your route, because menus and hours vary by spot.

How to Do Burger Week Right
Three tips from experience. First, go at off-hours: Burger Week specials draw lines at prime dinner time, and a 2 p.m. burger tastes better with no wait. Second, check the app before driving, since some restaurants serve the special only at certain hours or in limited quantities per day. Third, mix one classic (Motz’s) with one wildcard you have never tried; that is the point of the week.
And if you are eating downtown before an event, the timing is perfect: Burger Week overlaps with Concert of Colors, Detroit’s free global music festival running July 15 to 19 in Midtown.
