Monday Munchies: South Shore Burger at Iron John’s Brewing

May 6, 20242 min read

Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.

Iron John’s Brewing is more than just great beer!

The local business at the Plaza at Williams Center — 5350 E. Broadway Blvd. #128 — has one of my favorite pizza menus in town, solid appetizers to get you started, and a “Burger of the Month” that’ll cure your munchies while keeping things new and exciting.

Back in early 2020, Iron John’s Brewing Company merged with the local burger joint, Monkey Burger, and in October 2023, the restaurant made its big debut.

Burger of the Month

May’s Burger of the Month is the South Shore Burger — the Iron John’s team refers to it as a “tropical twist.”

“This juicy patty is topped with a refreshing mango relish, adding a burst of sweetness and acidity,” said Cory Carpenter, co-owner of Iron John’s. “Our house-made ginger barbecue glaze brings a touch of warmth, spice, and smokiness, perfectly balanced by the spicy kick of pepper jack cheese.”

“For a unique twist, we sprinkle the burger with Chinese 5 spice, adding a complex layer of flavor. Fresh, shredded lettuce cools everything down and adds a nice crunch!”

And, if you need another reason to stop by Iron John’s on Monday, they currently have a two-for-one beer special at the taproom on Broadway Boulevard. A buy-one-get-one deal on beer is by far my favorite kind of BOGO special.

Iron John’s is currently open 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, noon – 11 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. on Saturday, and noon – 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Iron John’s Brewing Company is located at 5350 E. Broadway Blvd. #128. For more information about the location and their 18th Street taproom or the new Juniper cocktail bar, visit ironjohnsbrewing.com.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
