ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, December 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/- Romacorp, Inc., the parent company of Tony Roma’s, announced the official opening of its first location of the new fast-casual concept Tony Roma’s Bones & Burgers™ in Tampa, Florida at Tampa’s International Plaza and Bay Street mall. The menu caters to on-the-go guests while still providing the same quality ingredients and fresh preparations in an authentic quick-service space.

Tony Roma’s Bones & Burgers™ was inspired by Romacorp’s 50+ years in the rib business and will feature the famous Tony Roma’s Baby Back Ribs.

In addition to the carefully crafted menu items, there are numerous details built into the brand that are unique. The utensils and straws are made from 100% biodegradable agave for ultimate sustainability. The Vegan Burger will feature a vegan patty, cheese, and sauce in addition to being cooked on a separate, vegan only grill.
