Call Us

Billy Yanks

If you’re on the lookout for a top new restaurant near Fairfield, check out Billy Yanks Restaurant. This bourbon bar’s menu features plenty of burger options if you’ve got a few aficionados in your dining party. We suggest starting out with the most popular appetizer on the menu: the delicious crispy Brussels sprouts with chickpeas and spicy honey for dipping.

Let’s move on to the burgers. Each option begins with a double patty on a sesame seed bun with a side of fresh-cut fries. The Original Billy is a terrific place to start. The Big Kahuna adds a thick slice of Spam and pineapple teriyaki sauce, or try the Go Back to Cali with toppings like avocado, bacon, and Swiss cheese. You can’t leave without sharing a cookie. It’s baked in a cast-iron pan and comes to the table warm with ice cream, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream.

You’ll love the exceptional service you get from Billy’s staff. It’s really a team effort, and it shows in their attentive quality. This pick is open weeknights for dinner and early on weekends to accommodate the lunch crowd. Have a seat inside or in the cozy outdoor space out back. Visit Billy Yanks on Main Street in Hamilton.

Friendly Stop Bar and Grill

Put the Friendly Stop on your must-try burger bucket list. It’s in Cincinnati’s historic district on Congress Avenue. It’s open seven days a week for both lunch and dinner, so you can satisfy your burger craving when it strikes.

If you’re new to Friendly Stop’s bar and grill, there are a few things you need to know. First, it’s been around since the 1920s, and second, its cooks specialize in offering fresh, homemade comfort food, like its premium burgers.

We recommend the award-winning Garlic Burger. It’s one of nine different choices on the menu. This one stands out from the crowd, thanks to the bold flavor of freshly roasted garlic. The Cajun Burger is a good option if you like a little kick or go all-in with the Black Peppercorn Burger.

Plan to spend some time in this electric pub’s comfortable atmosphere sipping an ice-cold beer or glass of wine. Its bartenders are known for their generous pours and friendly service, and you’ll enjoy its diverse regular crowd of families, singles, and everyone in between.

Jolly’s Drive-In

Drive through at Jolly’s when you don’t have time to enjoy your burger at a sit-down establishment. This fast-food-style restaurant offers two locations in nearby Hamilton, one on the east side at North Erie Boulevard Highway and the other on the west off Brookwood Avenue.

Jolly’s burgers are cooked to order and served on a freshly grilled bun. The cooks top it with a unique blend of ingredients, including dill pickles, onions, mustard, and chili sauce. If you’re hungry, go for the double and let the counter staff know if you want cheese.

One of the best things about getting your burger from Jolly’s Drive-in is its Root Beer Cow. It’s the perfect ending to a delicious meal with two big scoops of ice cream floating in a frosty mug of Root Beer. This pick also serves foot-long hot dogs, chili cheese fries, and onion rings.

Buffalo Joe’s Family Restaurant

If you want to know where to get one of the best burgers in Fairfield, Buffalo Joe’s would definitely make that list. Located on Dixie Highway, it’s the kind of place you go for a pitcher of beer and a big plate of breaded dill pickle spears and crispy jalapeno poppers before eating your burger.

Buffalo Joe’s has delicious half-pound 100% Angus beef chuck burgers that melt in your mouth. Get yours Black and Blue style with Cajun seasoning, or build your own. Joe’s even has a turkey burger if you’re eating lean, plus fun sides for the kids, like curly fries.

Berd’s Grill and Bar

Everyone at Performance Honda also loves Berd’s Grill and Bar on Wessel Drive near the Arts Center. Owners Matt Berding and Robert MacKendrick run this family-friendly sports bar and keep their focus on providing the Fairfield community with fresh, high-quality food and beverages.

Bob’s out-of-the-park burgers are on point. The Roberto Supreme is a chipotle patty on a brioche bun. There’s also the Big Farm Burger with a hearty helping of pulled pork, sweet heat sauce, and onion tanglers. Stop by Berd’s Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. for happy hour drink specials to wash down your meal. You can also save by joining its rewards program.

Sammy’s Craft Burgers and Beers

If you appreciate a casual sports pub with gourmet burgers, hot dogs, and cold brews, Sammy’s is your place. It’s the real deal because its kitchen staff hand forms its burger patties in-house fresh every day. They make it with a custom blend of vegetarian-fed brisket and sirloin.

Check out Sammy’s Burger of the Month, like the Oh So Gouda Mashed Potato Burger. It’s the chef’s signature patty topped with spicy ketchup, mashed potato, two slices of gouda cheese, and a garnish of red peppers and microgreens. You also get a side of churrasco mac and cheese. Make sure you grab a six-pack of Sammy’s Red Ale. It’s only available at the restaurant.

You’ll find Sammy’s in north Cincinnati at Creek Road. It’s a terrific place to catch the game, and it also serves a weekend Mexi-brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can even hire its food truck to cater your next special occasion at work or home.
