2026  Iron City Burger Bracket Challenge

2026 Iron City Burger Bracket Challenge

March Madness Edition

Welcome to the Iron City Burger Bracket — March Madness Edition.

For three weeks this March, eight of our burgers will compete head-to-head in a tournament-style bracket. Each week, burgers advance based on the number of orders they receive.

At the end of the tournament, one burger will be crowned the 2026 Iron City Burger Champion.

And if you’re dining in, you can also fill out your own Burger Bracket Challenge for a chance to win a $50 Iron City gift card.

How the Burger Bracket Works

Every burger sold counts as a vote.

Guests vote simply by ordering one of the burgers in the bracket while dining at Iron City.

Each week, the burgers with the most votes advance to the next round until a champion is crowned.

March 15 – March 21

The winning burger will be announced after the final round concludes.

Dine-In Only Event

The Burger Bracket Challenge is a dine-in only event.

Votes only count when burgers are ordered while dining inside Iron City Sports Bar.
