Cincinnati Burger Week is back for its seventh year and it’s bigger and better than ever. The week-long burger celebration has again teamed up with the Ohio Beef Council and will be joining several other cities to celebrate the statewide Ohio Burger Week. Five cities from across the Buckeye State will celebrate Ohio Burger Week this summer from July 12-18.

After a year of uncertainty, Cincinnati restaurants are ready for the popular burger-themed restaurant week.

“We are excited to present the largest Cincinnati Burger Week lineup to date with more than 100 participating restaurants. Burger Week will once again lift our community up with a week of culinary tourism across the Tri-State," said Tony Frank, Cincinnati Burger Week organizer and CityBeat publisher. 

Guests will have the chance to enjoy $6 burgers for seven days — from fan favorite staples to off-menu specialities. Some of Cincinnati’s most popular burger spots will be participating, giving guests the opportunity to explore Cincinnati on full stomachs. It’s a way for customers to enjoy the food and culture of the city, all while supporting our local restaurants and trying new places. 

Navigate your way through the city with the official Cincinnati Burger Week passport — available at participating Burger Week locations and online starting on July 12. Grab five or more stamps, submit your information and picture of your passport, and be entered to win an ultimate grill-out party, courtesy of the Ohio Beef Council. 

New this year is the Cincinnati MINI Burger Mobile that will be cruising around town, hosting glove box giveaways and encouraging burger lovers to #honkifyouloveburgers. 

Get the first glimpse of the passport at the Burger Week kickoff event at Sam Adams Taproom on Thursday, July 8 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Grab an exclusive taproom-only selection of the Sudsy McSmooth Sam Adams beer and receive your first stamp on your passport while enjoying samples from participating restaurants.
