CURRENT RANKINGS
#1. Street City Pub: 8.5
Living up to its mantra of being “unexpected”, Street City Pub has a truly distinctive burger offering in Peter’s Burger Roll. Quality meat, delicious cheese curds, and a pretzel bun make this hot-dog-looking burger one of our top-rated options in Cincinnati. [Read More]
#2. The Precinct: 8.5
“I think one of the best compliments I can offer is that The Precinct’s burger lives up to the hype… You only get to charge $22 for your burger when you’ve got a burger experience worth $22.” [Read More]
#3. The Turf Club: 8.1
The Turf Club cares about premium ingredients, creative combinations, and a fun, quirky environment. You can easily cram too many excellent toppings onto their over-sized burgers, creating an excessive experience that might not be for everyone. Yet if you love the art of the burger, The Turf Club is unique and memorable enough to be worth the trip. [Read More]
#4. Karrikin Spirits: 8.1
Even though Karrikin didn’t provide the best first impression, they are committed to underpromise and over-perform. They have a great burger, cooked to perfection, in an enjoyable environment that also happens to be the most comfortable seating we’ve experienced. [Read More]
#5. Local Post East End Eatery: 8.0
Local Post East End Eatery serves a great smashburger and they know it. Though their price point is a bit high, the overall experience lives up to the hype (and so does its standing as one of our member’s favorite burger in Cincy). Though not everyone has to agree it’s the best, it is certainly a solid contender in the local burger scene. [Read More]
#6. Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint: 8.0
“This joint performed well in every category across the board. We expect to be back before we’ve made it through this entire list because it was that good. If I find myself in that part of OTR and I’m hungry - this place will be calling my name.” [Read More]
#7. Sammy’s Craft Burgers and Beers: 6.4
Sammy’s Craft Burgers and Beers has justifiably won much acclaim and more than a few honors, because they care deeply about creating a great burger. However, they fall short of creating a great burger experience, and their biggest flaw is in the pricing of their burger. We simply couldn’t justify paying that much, even for a burger this good. [Read More]
#8. Gordo’s Pub & Grill: 6.4
Gordo’s can serve an exceptional burger in a banal environment. Or they might only hit a double while swinging for that home run, which was the case when we rated them. [Read More]
#9. The Gruff: 5.6
The Gruff has a lot going for it as a pretty cool restaurant in Covington with some standout food items and a large selection of drinks. However, their burger patty leaves a lot to be desired and your enjoyment level may heavily depend on your tolerance for trivia or tired servers. [Read More]
#10. The Gas Light Cafe: 4.1
“It was one trip, but two visits. We went to a burger joint and had a terrible experience. But we stayed at a local bar and had a great time.” [Read More]
