Burgerville Features Gourmet Menu

July gourmet offerings at Burgerville coming this Friday, July 3, will focus on one of our most popular seasonal menu offerings: Walla Walla Sweet Onions. This Friday, Burgerville will begin selling its latest monthly, gourmet menu offerings with the introduction of the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Horseradish Burger and Walla Walla Sweet Onion Summer Side Salad. Don’t forget the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Rings too!

Walla Walla Sweet Onions are pickled in our restaurants. The flavor is surprisingly sweet and light and only growers within the Walla Walla Valley can market Walla Walla Sweet Onions. Burgerville has partnered with the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Growers since 1997. Locati Farms, one of our primary growers, is currently the only Food Alliance certified-sustainable source of Walla Walla Sweet Onions.
