Meet the Burgers: See Photos of the 2025 Owensboro Burger Week $8 Burgers

Owensboro Burger Week 2025 is quickly approaching and we're getting our first glimpse of the $8 burgers that will be competing for the title of "The Best Burger in Owensboro."

WHEN IS OWENSBORO BURGER WEEK 2025?

This year's Burger Week will again feature a record number of participating restaurants, many of which have already submitted photos (and mouth-watering descriptions) of the burgers they are going to be serving up March 7th through the 15th.

Three former champions revealed their burgers relatively early. Dee's Diner, who took home the Grand Prize back in 2022, announced a 2025 partnership with Rolling Pin. This year, they're competing a burger called The Glazed & Confused.

Kim's Diner, who won the 2024 People's Choice Award (more on that in a bit) announced their 2025 burger as well- the Sweet & Spicy Bacon Jammy Burger.

And 2023 Grand Champions Windy Hollow Biscuit House announced The Sarah'nator- a very special Burger Week memorial for Sara Elliott, a former employee who passed a few months ago.

Last year, for the first time in Owensboro Burger Week history, there was a tie for the grand prize. Two local food trucks- J's Good Grub and Basil's Food Truck- shared the honor. For their delicious and creative entries, each scored a whopping 92.43 points out of 100 possible.

J's won with their Dirty Diana Burger!

Basil's snagged their share of first place with their Kentucky Dip Burger.

Plus, for the second year in a row, there's a Burger Week trophy that YOU get to help award. Public voting will determine the winner of the People's Choice Award sponsored by German American Bank. In 2024, Kim's Diner claimed the inaugural honor and security cam video that captured the moment went viral. This is the precise moment Kim realized she had won and it's hilarious!

While not all of this year's participating restaurants have submitted their entries, we have received a tasty serving of them.  As always, they look ridiculously adventurous and delicious. So, here's a look at the $8 burgers up for grabs, what's on 'em and where you can buy them!
