If you haven’t noticed, here at Martin’s, we love talking about all of the amazing and delicious accomplishments of our food service customers—restaurants, food trucks, pop-ups, and more (see examples here and here). And why wouldn’t we? All year long, they put in time and effort to create some of the most mouthwatering and showstopping dishes on Martin’s Potato Rolls.
Recently, you’ve probably been noticing menu changes and limited time themed items from your favorite restaurants, from appetizers to desserts. So, since “’tis the season,” we wanted to share a few of our favorites with you, right from the kitchens of Martin’s Potato Rolls and Bread customers.
Limited Time Holiday Menu Items
One of the most common ways for restaurants and food service businesses to celebrate and commemorate the holidays for their customers is by spicing up their menu with seasonal flavors like pumpkin, cranberry, peppermint, cinnamon, sage, and rosemary. And our chef partners have certainly whipped up some creative options for their consumers this year.
Check out a few of our favorites!
Thanksgiving Sandwich from Lantern Bar & Grill
Turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and rosemary all on a Big Marty’s roll? We’ll take two. This is an excellent picture of holiday creativity by our talented chef friends. If you’re located near Pittsfield, Massachusetts, take a visit to Lantern for us (and let us know what they come up with for Christmas!)
Thanksgiving Burger, Sage Potato Roll Stuffing, and Seasonal Shakes from Black Tap
This photo hardly needs a caption to describe the tasty flavors of Black Tap’s holiday options—a pumpkin cheesecake crazyshake and a Thanksgiving turkey burger topped with sage potato roll stuffing, bacon, corn, and cranberry-orange aioli. Needless to say, if you’re in the area of one of Black Tap’s many locations, it may be worthwhile to stop by and see what they have in store for the upcoming holidays, too!
Holiday Burger from Burger Drops
Canada fans, this one’s for you! Located in Toronto, Burger Drops is widely known for their delicious smash burgers on Martin’s Potato Rolls. But, they can also whip up a mean seasonal burger, like this one filled with cracked black pepper, truffle mayo, Swiss cheese, and pickled red onion!
P.S. This year, they’ve got a new Caramel Cookie pudding—available only during the holiday season!
Holiday Shakes from Shake Shack
True to its name, Shake Shack is famous for delicious and seasonal milkshakes, like the ones shown above. If you’re near one of many Shake Shack locations worldwide, be sure to try these mouthwatering holiday flavors, like Sugar Plum Fairy, and try pairing it with the current limited edition Black Truffle Burger!
Prime Rib Sliders and Peppermint Bark Shakes from SOB Sliders
This stacked slider from SOB Sliders is bougie on a bun—thin-sliced prime rib piled on a bed of greens, plus fried onions and horseradish aioli, all on a Martin’s Potato Roll. Bonus tip: pair it with a seasonal peppermint bark shake!

As the headline of this article clearly states, Craftsman Row is serving up all the holiday vibes at their annual Christmas pop-up in Philadelphia! Snag a festive milkshake, like the “Ugly Sweater” or the “Pumpkin to Talk About” and pair it with one of their delicious smash burgers or chicken sandwiches—what could be better?

A Note about Restaurants this Holiday Season
The last two years have been tough for restaurants and food service businesses around the globe. Many professional and experienced chefs, pit masters, and burger experts had to adapt their tried and true business models to fit the needs of their customers amidst the pandemic.
So, in the spirit of supporting small business this holiday season, go visit your favorite local restaurant (bonus points if they serve Martin’s Potato Rolls) and find out how you can support their business this year.
