If you have never tried a Voltzy’s burger you have been missing out! They are the best you can get and don’t cost you a week’s salary! Be sure to try his Philly Steak Sandwiches and Fried Pickles!!!!

OMG!!! I never tasted a burger as good as TJ Chumps burger in Englewood! Its mouthwatering, juicy and absolutely delicious. I’ve tasted many burgers and TJ Chumps has the best burger hands down. Try and you will love it!!!

Slyder’s Tavern has the best burger I have ever tasted. I have eaten at many of the other restaurant’s featured in this poll, and none of their burger’s can compete. Get the 10 oz. bacon cheeseburger - best burger in Dayton bar none.

I don’t think I have ever had a “good” meal at TJ Chumps. Very average food, but the environment in Miamisburg is good.

We eat at Chumps 3X a week at least. Best food hands down. I can not imagine anyone saying their food is average. The staff is excellent also.

I love the Bistro Burger at Coco’s Bistro and was disappointed that it wasn’t a choice. 5 Guys has the best burger for a chain though!

The special sauce that Pat puts on the burgers at Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers is really good and tastes like DNA

Jack Sperry’s Hamburger Wagon in Miamisburg cannot be beat (well, except maybe for Al’s Burger Bar in Pecos, Texas, but it’s no longer there.) Consistently perfect & a true asset to the community.

Slyders edges Pine Club, to go… This vote needs to be seeded and conducted as a tournament, with head-to-head matchups to determine the best of each type/style. Breakdown the regions by category: 1. local restaurant (Pine Club, Coco’s, 2. local bar/tavern (Slyders, Tanks, etc. 3. local remote/shack (Voltzy’s, Wagon, Dixie Dairy Dreem,etc ) 4. chain (Five Guys, Smash, Red Robin, etc.)

I agree with the recent book Hamburger America which ranked Hamburger Wagon in Miamisburg as one of the top 100 hamburger joints in the whole United States!!! Best in Dayton hands down.

OK, for all you folks who voted Hamburger Wagon over Voltzy’s, there is bad news, Rick Volz helped the current owner get things working when he bought the wagon. No doubt Hamburger Wagon is good, but, Voltzy’s is world class.

Blind Bob’s is incredible, but it’ll take an hour to get your food out to you… don’t get me wrong, it’s well worth the wait.

WE LOVE THE HAMBURGER WAGON. It’s delicious, good value and price, and also it’s a fun experience. We give it a 10 alllllll around! P.S. the owner knows how to “work” the wagon!

Chappies has the best black and blue burger I’ve ever tasted! Just enough cheese to give it wonderful flavor! The “Chappie burger” is right up there too.

The “Bistro Burger” at Coco’s is the BEST I have ever tasted! Why was it not considered for a choice!

What no EO at the Greene? They have some of the best burgers and fries/onion rings I have tasted. TJ Chumps is a waste of money. It’s boring food at a too high of a cost. Red Robin is a awesome joint too!

I’ll vote for Tanks, although I haven’t been to most on the list. As for TJChumps…I’d rather go to McDonalds or Wendy’s for a burger. That place is extremely average (to be nice).

Slyders Tavern has the best bacon cheeseburger. They get their meet from a local grocery store, Dots. It is the highest of quality.

I agree with the person that mentioned EO at the Greene-awesome hamburgers! And the custards shakes alone are also pretty amazing.
