Hamburger Mary’s

Delightful place with great service. The hamburgers were out of this world. Our server back with waiting funny! My family will be regulars at this restaurant.

Very entertaining!!! Burger was under cooked but would have been good otherwise! The Sunday Trany bingo was very lively and hilarious! Worth a visit! TheS’mores desert was yummy and fun over a lil flame… Ha ha no pun intended!

This is not a «show». This is a bunch of drag queen divas collecting tips. Nothing artistic except the makeup and dress. Felicia Fox is an entertainer, the others? Not so much. So much potential, unrealized. Charge at the door, maybe they would spend some time putting on a show. Disappointed, will not return.

What a fun place! A group of us went for Drag Queen Bingo.
Food was really good, lots of food. Service was good, but could have been a bit better.

Hamburger Mary’s is one of those places that never disappoint when it comes to food or service. I always go to the one in Tampa because I love Alexis Mateo but I live closer to the clearwater location and wanted a good burger for lunch.
The service as usual was great. My server was attentive and helpful but I honestly expect nothing less from HM!
I ordered the caramel chicken salad and you would think from the name that caramel on a salad would be disgusting but it was amazing. Who knew caramel could bless romaine lettuce in such a way?
I also ordered a burger to go (I said I wanted a good burger! So i decided to order it for dinner). Again, delicious.

Everything here is awesome. The food? Amazing. The burgers are creative and delicious! The staff? Super helpful and attentive. The décor? You get your check in a crazy high heel shoe! I love it.
We go to Tuesday Trivia a lot, which also happens to be BOGO burger night, so Coke hungry. Trivia is always on point and entertaining, I highly recommend checking it out. They do drag queen bingo nights, too, but that never works with my schedule so I haven’t been able to check it out.

Went here for my friend’s birthday. We had a great time. Can’t wait ti go back. Food is great! Shows are a blast!

I don’t drink and drive. was charged $ 3.75 for a very tiny cup of cappuccino. They don’t have coffee for us designated drivers?
The show was Terrible to be nice about it. Performers would go to tables to get tips with deafening techno music playing. No lip syncing here. One of them jumps on a chair and then goes for tips??? Four songs… a twerking contest… and posing for photos. I am a former Drag performer (30 years) and this was terrible speaking from the art of female impressionists. This will be my absolutely last visit to this mediocre show. No cover thank God. A definite loser in the Drag bar culture.
Lots of grandmas and girls night out and first timers in the audience.
Overall I want the two hours of my life back I spent there! I should have left the first 10 minutes of the show but hoped it would improve!
I miss places like The Pleasure Dome and Tracks in YBOR City where drag was an art.
Now those were Drag Bars!!!

After a disappointing visit, I tried again for lunch today.
The new menu has raised all the prices… to way over the value you get.
The kahuna burger is 11.20, then extra .50 for chicken and extra 2.00 to sub
sweet potatoe fries for chips. For 13.70, I can get a steak dinner with salad and side
at Outback, this sandwich did not quantify the high price. They have recently
changed the hamburger buns, which are now cheap and very much like McDonald’s
buns. They used to be big and fresh and substantial. My chicken breast this time
was *again* dry and tough. Two strikes and you’re out. I’m no longer recommending
this location to my friends and coworkers. AT 12:30 today, there were only 3 tables
in this place… someone in mgmt is not getting the hint that their changes are
ineffective at growing the business. Very disappointing, as I used to love
this place, and referred a lot of people here. Not any more.

We were here recently for a good friend’s birthday, and it was great! We were a large group, and they took care of everything.
We absolutely love the drag queens!

If this were just a restaurant I would give it 5 stars for service and maybe 4 stars on the food. But because of the fun experience with the Queens I am going to a full 5 stars.
There is no cover charge so to make up the food is maybe a dollar or two higher per meal than you would pay at places without entertainment. So if you are going be sure to catch a show.
Free refills on iced tea is a great deal though. Don’t quote me on this but I think the free refills applies to coke etc also.
Don’t be concerned if you don’t get a table front center stage. The Queens move around so there isn’t really a bad seat.
The MC Queen is very funny and engages the audience in a teasing way that is funny to even the person being teased. They have a deal where they invite people celebrating something up on stage and they get a free drink (non alcoholic for those who are under age).
A wide range of people attend. Among the birthday celebrants there was an 85 year old woman and a young lady who was celebrating her 17^th birthday.
There is another review that mentions the Queens are big. They are all close to 6 feet tall or taller in heels and some have some extra pounds but I guess that reviewer hasn’t heard of or doesn’t appreciate the word voluptuous.
Attendees are welcome to take pictures during the show. At the end of the show everyone has an opportunity to go on stage with the Queens and have a friend take their photo.
Great service, decent food, and a fantastic show. I am not Douglas MacArthur but I shall return.

My first experience at Hamburger Mary’s was fun and delicious. We were visiting from South Florida, so we made a reservation earlier that day. We got to the restaurant a bit earlier than our reservation time, but were seated promptly. I was a bit disappointed as we were kind of sat in the back so we didn’t have a full view of the stage, but the queens did come around.
We ordered an appetizer to start with to make some time before the show started, and after reading some Unilocal reviews raving about the fried mac and cheese balls, we decided to get an order. They were really tasty; a bit greasy, but delicious, the Mac and cheese was creamy goodness.
My boyfriend and I both ordered burgers; he the Barbra-​que burger and I the mushroom burger. We both enjoyed them, pretty standard compared to burgers at other restaurants, good but I wouldn’t say out of this world.
For dessert, we shared an espresso ice cream float, which was also very delicious.
The drag show was super fun to watch, the MC was hilarious and even did birthday shots with the newly 21-​year-​olds. All of the queens were having fun with the crowd and dancing, it was great. My boyfriend and I are huge fans of Rupaul’s Drag Race so we live for drag queens.
Be warned, this meal did not upset my boyfriend’s stomach but it did mine, which was not pleasant for our 3-​hour drive home. Maybe next time I’ll skip out on the dessert, haha!

Bingo is so much fun! However it was difficult at times to hear what is being called out because it can get pretty loud in there even with the speakers AND the caller is talking and talking about random things than calls out a number… Although fun and entertaining as it may be, I can’t freaking hear the damn numbers being called…
If you’re going for bingo, you better Rvsp… Like months, per the waitress… Better chance of getting a closer tablet with advance Rvsp
I got the piñacollada it was a ³⁄₅. Not great,
Salsa and chips: chips were good but the ridiculous salsa… omg lacking of any seasonings… I swear to you it tasted by chopped up tomatoes, tiny amount of onions, and water !!! My sister added… Salt… pepper…hot sauce… just horrible. Yuck salsa: a score of negative 3 out of 5.
I’ll be back though. Bingo was fun. I’ll give the food another go…

Come here for fun! Please order hamburgers and forget your diet for the night, this is supposed to be a blast so please participate! The burger was great! Even the vegetarian in the group was happy with their portobello mushroom burger, the Flatbread not so great… It’s a hamburger place, with tons of options, I’m sure you will find one to like! Despite booking two weeks ahead of time we didn’t get a prime viewing location for the show. The large birthday groups and special occasion groups do have prime viewing areas, be sure to book in advance and request good viewing to the stage. The performers do walk through the entire restaurant, posing with patrons and serenading guests — such as the birthday boy or girl… This is a burlesque male review show — just so you know — but it’s done in good taste and with humor… We attended the 730 pm show, we heard the 10 pm show is slightly more risqué… We had fun and we would consider coming back with a larger group in the future, the more the merrier!!!

Last week was my first time at this Hamburger Mary’s location and I truly enjoyed my experience! We came on a night when they were doing Drag Bingo and wanted to play as well. When we arrived, we were told they were booked up with tables, but they made room for us on the outside patio. The restaurant soon became packed for the event.
I decided to order a Sam Adams Cold Snap and a Cigar City Jai Alai for my beers during the evening. I was pleasantly surprised with the draft beer selection as there were a few good others I was considering. I ordered the Mac ‘n’ Cheese balls for the table. They were very tasty; cheesy on the inside but crunchy on the outside. For my entrée, I got the fish and chips. The entrée is huge and I couldn’t finish it all (it could feed two people). The fries were cooked just right and the fish was also cooked well. It was flaky on the inside but the outside was also crispy.
When it came time for Bingo, our waiter saw a free table and allowed us to move inside. He was slammed due to the capacity of the restaurant, but the service was outstanding.
I had a wonderful time at Hamburger Mary’s and enjoyed my food and drink. I can’t wait to return!

I got the Barbra-​q Bacon Buffalo Cheeseburger, and I was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. It was so good, I also got the mac-​n-​cheese and I had to stop myself from eating, so I wouldn’t be over-​stuffed.
We went right as they opened on Friday, so it wasn’t crowded when we got there, but it was getting busy by the time we were leaving. Next time we will have to get reservations for one of their shows. Or go on Tuesdays, they have trivia and BOGO burgers.

I was pretty excited to finally check out the clearwater location since I thought it was closer than the Tampa location. Well in actuality they are the same distance and I prefer the Tampa location.
I’ll first start with the hostess, she wasn’t very friendly but not rude or very helpful. I reserved a table which I didn’t need to do after all since they weren’t packed. After seeing that the table was in another room we decided to sit at the bar. When I told the hostess and why we decided to move, she just looked at me and then responded with you can see from in there. She seemed a little irratated with our desire to move.
The bartender was nice and fairly attentive. The bloody mary my friend I ordered was spicy but tasted like just mix without the vodka. We decided to get the breakfast buffet. The egg rolls, eggs with cheese and biscuits with gravy was good. Unfortunatly the rice was overcooked and mushy, the chicken with orange sauce was very overcooked and the lo mein was bland, it needed some seasoning. So the buffet was hit or miss. I’m not sure of this is how the food is generally here at the Clearwater location.
As for the drag show, it was pretty good. Some of the performers were better than others and for half the show or maybe a quarter, the MC sat at the outside bar and MC’d from there. That was pretty odd and there wasn’t much energy to the show during that time. Overall it was medicare and I will be heading to Tampa instead, the energy and food is much better at that location.

I’ve been to Mary’s in Tampa, and I’d venture to say that their new Clearwater location trumps the Ybor one. Same hilarious queens parading around in their utterly fabulous costumes and makeup, same delicious food and strong drinks, same upbeat and diverse crowd, but a nicer location, outdoor seating and a better stage setup with more high-​top tables for people who just to drink and watch the entertainers instead of mainly normal sized dining tables.
Keep doing your thing, Mary!

As our mid-​county option for Dining Out for Life, we stopped by for dinner. There was a robust crowd with nearly every table full. We were greeted by our server (Melissa) and ordered our beverages and a large order of Mary’s Hot Legs with Teriyaki sauce (see pic). It came with ranch dressing rather than blue cheese. They were messsssy but delicious. Luckily, the tables have heaps of napkins available.
For entrees, I ordered the Barbra-​Q Bacon Cheeseburger and my partner ordered the «Big Kahuna» Hawaiian Burger (see pics). We both opted for the up-​charge to get onion rings. The kitchen immediately brings out your burger once they’re ready… nice and hot. My burger was huge but messily manageable when cut in half. The flavors of the BBQ sauce and cheese were very tasty. My burger was extra juicy and I had to put a napkin under it to keep it intact. I’m always a bit hesitant when ordering a bacon cheeseburger because I hate limp bacon but their bacon was perfectly crisp. I ate every little portion. The Big Kahuna was awesome, too. The grilled pineapple and teriyaki sauce made a wonderful flavor combo. We were both pleased with the portion size, crispiness and flavor of the onion rings. We would definitely recommend them.
My first impression was, «yeah, a really good $ 10 hamburger!» The only negative that we could find was the complete lack of milkshakes/​malts on the menu. A nice malt would have made it a near perfect burger experience. We left before the drag show started. Believe me, I’ve seen my share of drag shows. I hope they raised lots of money for A.S.A.P (a local AIDS service non-​profit organization). Please stop by and get a juicy burger. You will not regret it!

I’ve always been a fan of the Mary’s chain, but the Clearwater location wins HANDs down.
First, it’s closer to me than the Ybor location. Second the place is open and roomy, not a cramped locale where the stage is an after thought. Third, the service (Provided by Felicia Fox) was second to none! We wanted for nothing! She was attentive and very warm. I will make sure I ask for her as a waitress –every– time.
The food was good, we started with fried Mac & Cheese, Not at all on my diet, but SO damned good. My friend had their Cheese burger with bacon and it turned out to be a 9 napkin hamburger! That’s one juicy piece of beef! I had the «Party at the Club» salad, and it was pretty damned good. My only complaint was the bacon. it was tiny itty over cooked bits, rather than larger chunks.
I will be coming back with friends for their buffet on a Sunday, and certainly be back on a Friday night for a show when some of the most talented female impersonators in the area take their stage.
