When it comes to his burgers, Chris Carmichael is not modest.

“Anyone who says they have the best cheeseburger in town, ain’t ever eaten one of mine,” the owner of Carmichael’s Pub at 3011 Wayne Ave. in Dayton said. “I buy better ingredients than they do.”

Those ingredients, beef from Dot’s Market included, set the burgers apart from the competition, Carmichael said.

Now in its ninth year, Carmichael’s reopened its kitchen in January.

Carmichael shut down his kitchen last October citing difficulty finding good kitchen help.

The cheeseburgers and wings that made the restaurant popular were missed, Carmichael told this news organization.

“Everybody was like, ‘man, I wish you would open your kitchen back up,” he said.

The burgers have been “smashing it” since, Carmichael said.

“You might as well eat the best cheeseburger in Dayton,” he added.

Burgers range from about $7.50 to $9.
