What’s a more essential summer meal than a burger? Luckily, you’ll have the chance to try a host of $7 burgers all week long during Cincinnati Burger Week July 10-16.

Cincinnati Burger Week returns for its ninth year, bringing meat-lovers and vegetarians alike savory, mouthwatering burgers, from your standard patty smothered in barbecue sauce and bacon to more unique offerings, including a s’mores donut burger. You can also track your burgers in the app to earn points and potentially win prizes.

Over 100 local restaurants are participating in Burger Week, so this is just a glimpse of all the $7 burgers we can’t wait to try. You can see the full list of participating restaurants and their offerings (and download the official Burger Week app) here.
