Wahlburgers Opens at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, Bringing Celebrity Flavor to SRQ
Travelers flying through Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport now have a new dining option with a bit of Hollywood flavor. Wahlburgers, the celebrity-owned burger chain founded by chef Paul Wahlberg and his famous brothers Mark Wahlberg and Donnie Wahlberg, has officially opened its doors at SRQ.
The new restaurant is located in Concourse B at 6000 Airport Circle, giving passengers a chance to grab a fresh burger, sandwich, or shake before takeoff. The opening adds another high-profile dining option to the airport’s expanding lineup of restaurants and reflects SRQ’s continued growth as one of Florida’s most popular regional airports.
For fans of the Wahlberg family, the restaurant brand may already be familiar. The burger chain and its founders were featured in the hit A&E reality television series Wahlburgers, which aired from 2014 to 2019 and followed the family as they built their restaurant empire while balancing life in the spotlight.
A Celebrity Burger Brand with a Growing Following
Wahlburgers began in Massachusetts and has since expanded across the United States and internationally. The restaurant is known for its chef-inspired burgers, including signature items like the “Our Burger,” the “BBQ Bacon Burger,” and the “O.F.D.” — short for “Originally From Dorchester,” a nod to the Wahlberg brothers’ Boston roots.
In addition to burgers, the menu typically includes crispy fries, onion rings, chicken sandwiches, salads, and thick milkshakes, making it a popular stop for travelers looking for comfort food before a flight.
Chef Paul Wahlberg, the culinary force behind the brand, created the menu using recipes inspired by family gatherings and neighborhood favorites. Meanwhile, his brothers Mark and Donnie helped turn the concept into a global brand thanks to their entertainment careers and devoted fan base.
