Ready to take their better burger to new heights, Burger 21, an award-winning “beyond the better burger” fast casual franchise, announced Tuesday that the brand’s first airport location at the Tampa International Airport in Airside A is open and serving guests.

“Burger 21 began in Tampa so we’re very excited to provide a chef-inspired meal option to travelers visiting the airport and give guests a taste of what Tampa has to offer,” says Mark Johnston, president and co-founder of Burger 21. “This is a great opportunity for us to share our food with guests who haven’t experienced Burger 21 before and we’re happy to offer a unique and high-quality meal to travelers.”

Burger 21 plans to open a second location in Airside C later this year as the brand continues to elevate the better burger experience. The airport locations will feature a limited menu including breakfast items and popular existing menu items that guests currently enjoy at existing locations.

The Tampa-based fast casual offers a chef-inspired menu with 21 unique burger options; 10 made from 100 percent Certified Angus Beef and 10 non-beef options including chicken, seafood, turkey and veggie burgers. Part of its unique culture, Burger 21 also offers a different featured burger and shake as burger number 21 on the menu. The extensive menu also includes hand-breaded chicken tenders, gourmet hot dogs, fresh salads and hand-crafted shakes.
