(The Pretzel Burger - Bogey's Bar & Grill)

JULY UPDATE:

Bogey's Bar & Grill is still holding on to a 0.2 of a point lead over second place Shale Tavern & Grille in the Burger of the Year race. Both have an excellent 4½ star rating. With four reviews remaining, will we find a burger to compete? Our next two stops are Magic Tree Pub & Eatery, (Boardman), and Donna's Diner, (Sharon). That leaves 2 slots still open!
