No matter what your dining preferences, this is one burger everyone in town can agree on. The 14th Annual Good ‘Burger Awards, presented by Bank of Tampa and Compass Land & Title, are back for 2026, celebrating the people and businesses that make St. Pete so great. The party takes place on Wednesday, November 18, from 4:30-8 p.m. at Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill.
It’s the first time that voting will happen live at the awards instead of online in advance, and tickets are available now for the celebration. The evening includes live DJ, food and drinks, networking, a local vendor market, and a high-energy atmosphere showcasing the best of St. Pete, all in The Canopy at America’s No. 1 sports bar. General Admission tickets start at $65, and VIP tickets start at $150, which include access to a VIP Reception held before the Good ‘Burger Awards and access to the VIP networking area throughout the event, with light bites and an open bar.
Hosted by the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, this annual event is a two-part celebration, and this year things are happening a bit differently. As always, there was a full nomination period. But now, instead of opening up voting online for weeks, all the voting takes place on-site at the Good ‘Burger Awards.
GA tickets get admission to the party and will join in on selecting the winner, while the VIP tickets provide one of the year’s best nights. The evening begins with an exclusive VIP Reception at 4:30 PM, where VIP guests will enjoy premium networking, complimentary food and beverages, and early access before the awards program begins. VIP ticket holders will also enjoy exclusive access to the VIP Lounge throughout the event, offering a comfortable space to connect with finalists, sponsors, community leaders, and fellow VIP guests.
St. Pete’s stars gather for Good ‘Burger
One of the best part of Good ‘Burger, of course, isn’t the awards. It’s the people (and businesses) you get to spend time with. Hungry? Get ready for bang bang chicken from Shiso Crispy, sandwiches from Gateway Subs, paneer tacos from Tabla, and craft sweets from Small Batch Creamery. When you’re ready for a drink, no less than St. Petersburg Distillery will be pouring samples and crafting cocktails for guests…
