Staff shared of a “turmoil of emotions” as the restaurant, on Smith Street, was announced as boasting the best burger in the country following a team of judges travelling the country trying and testing every finalist.
And they praised the “outstanding” support from the community in bringing home the trophy for Ayr.
A post on their Facebook page read: “As we were enjoying our staff night out, we heard it... ‘And the Winner for Best Burger in Scotland is, Nanny Marys’.
“There were tears, joy, shock and whole turmoil of emotions.
“We wouldn’t have gotten to the finals if it wasn’t for our outstanding supporting community so thank you so much for following our journey and believing in us.
“We did it! We brought the trophy home to our little town of Ayr!”
The Facebook post also praised Nanny Mary’s “amazing staff” who work “so hard to make sure they try their best in everything they do.”
It added: “Honestly, you guys are amazing.
“We are a small family run business doing what we do in memory of our beautiful Nanny Mary, so this for us was really such a beautiful moment for our family to take a minute and remember why we are doing what we are doing.
“And to be recognised for that is so amazing and we couldn’t be anymore grateful.”
Nanny Mary’s bagged best ‘New Food Business of the Year’ at the Prestige Awards in October 2022.

Eva Vik’s ‘Serpentine’ Starring Barbara Palvin To Make European Premiere at TaorminaEva Vik’s short film Serpentine, starring supermodel Barbara Palvin, will make its European premiere at the 69th edition of Italy’s Taormina Film Festival, running from June 23 to July 1. Czech writer and director Eva Vik explores the possibilities of interspecies development in the film, which was previously nominated for the X Award at the Tribeca Film Festival. Set within a mysterious snake cult, the stylistic body-horror follows attempts to initiate a snake-human hybrid through genetic engineering – creating an extraterrestrial higher power intelligence as a new influential force. Palvin is joined in the cast by Soo Joo Park, and Luke Brandon Field. The film’s official partner is Bulgari brand, and it was produced by Evasion Pictures. The film will play in Taormina’s Influential Shorts program, a special gala event curated by Bella Thorne. “I look forward to welcoming both Eva Vik and Barbara Palvin to the Taormina Film Festival later this month.
