Monday Munchies: Upping Your Burger Game at Uptown Burger

Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.

When the munchies come rollin’ in fast, Daniel Scordato of Uptown Burger has a menu that can cure just about any cravings. The restaurant opened a couple of years ago in the Foothills at 6370 N. Campbell Ave. #160.

When compared to the fine dining menu of Vivace (Scordato’s other restaurant concept), located just a couple of minutes away, Uptown Burger’s menu is simple but indeed loaded. There are six burgers, two sandwiches, a few salads, fries, sweet potato fries, and soft-serve gelato for dessert. Plus, craft beer and a stellar wine selection are a nice touch.

Let’s chat about the Sonoran Burger, though.

This burger wears a crown of roasted poblano, Oaxaca cheese, creamy jalapeño, corn, Cholula relish, shredded lettuce, and avocado, which is all sandwiched between a brioche bun. When Scordato was interviewed back in 2023, he added that the freshly grilled corn adds “a lot of flavor and a little crunch.”

The Nashville Chicken sandwich is another solid option if you’re not in a beefy mood.

Like other sandwiches in the Nashville style, this beast of a dish includes crispy chicken, coleslaw, dill pickles, Nashville glaze, Münster cheese, and Uptown Sauce — all of which are in a brioche bun. Grab some extra napkins for this one!

With loyal customers, a skilled staff, and consistent quality, Uptown Burger meets Daniel Scordato’s and our cravings perfectly.

The restaurant is open 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Monday – Saturday (closed on Sunday).

Uptown Burger is located at 6370 N. Campbell Ave. #160. For more information, visit uptownburgertucson.com.
