In 2015, Cincinnati CityBeat magazine organized #CincyBurgerWeek in which participating restaurants offered a $5 burger for one week only!
If you visited 3 spots and got your passport stamped, you were entered into a drawing for a terrific prize from Ohio Beef Council and Eckerlin Meats who sponsored the event.
It must have been a great success because they did it again in 2016 with over 50 restaurants and Ohio Beef Council, Eckerlin Meats and Braxton Brewing sponsoring.
Here’s a photographic tour of the burgers I enjoyed both years, posted in an order that ranks them based on my personal preference for a delicious, no frills cheeseburger first.
The Deluxe | Bard’s Burgers & Chili | 2016
The Deluxe was served with hand-cut fries and if you want to try this combo, it is normally $6.75 – a steal!
Charlie O Burger | Salem Gardens | 2016
The Memphis Burger | Oakley Pub & Grill | 2015
Black & Bleu | Anderson Pub & Grill | 2015
Both Oakley and Anderson P&G served their burgers with steak fries and they offer burger specials on Wednesdays.
Pittsburger | Martino’s on Vine | 2015
The Cincinnatian | Cricket Lounge |2016
Served with fries and you can enjoy this burger daily during 4-7 happy hour.
Pete’s Braxton Beer Cheeseburger | 2016
Black & Bleu | Keystone | 2016
