Putters have 3 Locations, we tried the one in Milford, I found out about this place, because I saw a Burger testing & review blog done by some of the top Chef's in the city, I think there were 4 of them, they tried the top Burgers in Cincinnati & N. Ky., and Putters won their Competition, beating another longtime top Burger in Cincinnati, Terry's Turf Club, there were several that were close, but Putters came out with the highest rated Burger in the Competition, so I had to try it out.

This trip, it was just 2 of us, Putters is Located just off of 275 in Milford by 28, it sits just off the hwy. it's a big place, with well over a Dozen Tv's with sports on them all this day, it was Father's Day, I ordered the Putters Classic Angus Beef, with Swiss, Bacon & Lettuce, Tomato, & Onion, the waitress was very nice & friendly and asked how we wanted our burger cooked, always a Good Sign, my Wife ordered the special of the Day, Rib's & Baked Chicken.

I got Fries with mine, my Burger was around $7 or so, I did not get the full price, Bacon was 79cents extra.

My Burger was huge, they put onion Straws on it by mistake, but I did not complain, I love Onion Straws.

I ordered the Burger, Medium Well, as usual, it came Well Done, so 2 mistakes by the cook, onion straws added without asking & well done instead of medium-well, but I did not mind, we were starving & ready to eat.

The Burger was big, & looked great, as usual, I can tell by the 1st bite, how it will go, and this is One Fantastic burger, it was clearly hand-made, & fresh Angus Beef, big, juicy & all the extras were fresh, the bacon crispy and tasty, the Bun was excellent, it did not fall apart & had a good taste and it was toasted, which I like, the fries also were good.

My Wife's ribs were tender & tasty, very good, her Baked Chicken was also tender tasty, her baked potato was also good, and her Salad was big & fresh, we shared that & both liked it, I tasted all her food & she tried my Burger, & we both agree that this is one of the Best Burgers we have ever had, and we both enjoyed her meal also.

As far as what we rated this burger, check it out below, the service was good, but they need to work on getting the Cook to make sure he makes the food correctly, even though this time it did not affect my review or the taste of the food.

Final Thoughts: Awesome Burger, I would say it's on Par with the best I've ever had, I can't rate it any Better than our previous Winner of last years top Burger award Gabby's Cafe, and I can't rate it any lower than that one, so it's a tie, I will eventually return to try a different one of their Burgers, & also they claim to have the Best Wings, I will try those also as they have my Favorite, Garlic, and then I will compare those to Roosters Wings across the street, as they also claim to have the Best Wings, that's a review for another Day.
All I can say is, Go here, try it out for yourself, any Burger in our top 10 and many even lower are worth a try, but especially our top ones, you won't be disappointed with this one, also looks like a great place for a group, or somewhere to watch any sporting event, I will be back.

Final Rating: 9.5* Same as Gabby's Cafe in Wyoming, in Cincinnati, Ohio, it's a Tie, both are Awesome Burgers, & I see no way to choose between them, I would take either one over any other Burger any day of the week.

Next Tasty Review: Terry's Turf Club, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Food Definitions!

Hand-Made- made by hand, not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality.
Made to Order- specially made according to a customer's specifications.
Char-Grilled- grill (food, typically meat or fish) quickly at a high heat.
Medium Well- Mostly gray-brown throughout, but with a hint of pale pink inside. Good for someone who wants an ever-so-slightly juicy Meat, but detests any sign of "blood" in their meat.

Medium- A more pronounced band of pink in the middle of the Meat. However, there should still be slightly more gray-brown than pink coloration.

Well done- Grayish-brown with no sign of pink, usually slightly charred on the outside. Cooking a good meat to this level of doneness is a challenge. It has to be done slowly on low heat, or else you end up with shoe leather.

Pre-Made Frozen Patty - This is not 100% real beef, it's just that a piece of whatever, that comes Pre-made up in a Patty and Frozen in a box of a Dozen or more, not real beef, some can be good, but most are not.
