PerrysBurgers grills up for another season

PerrysBurgers, the burger joint, which not surprisingly is located in Perrysburg, is not a new restaurant. Since 2010, this local delight has been serving up unique creations for hamburger fanatics. 32 seats make this a cozy space.

The comfortable vibe has been recently refreshed, with a new head chef and cosmetic upgrades to the front-of-house, transforming this small hideaway into the must-try eatery of the summer.

“I think it’s much more comfortable now,” said Dana Daher, head chef of PerrysBurgers.  

I spoke with Daher about the new menu items which she brings from 26 years of cooking experience – homemade hamburger sauces, such as the Kobe Beef Burger, topped with garlic puree, sautéed portobello and button mushroom blend (along with sautéed onions and bleu cheese).

“It’s simple, simple, simple, but it’s made from top quality ingredients— that’s the important part,” the chef explained, adding, “This is where my heart is, I enjoy it.”

Flipped to Perfection

I brought two of my favorite foodies along: one with trained taste buds, and the other, a meat-lover, who actually drove back to town for the experience.

We ordered the Very Vanilla shake to share. The rich vanilla flavor, from the hand-dipped, premium vanilla bean ice cream, necessitated that courtesy be side-stepped after the first sip, as I ended the sharing arrangement.

I swapped the beef patty for the bean burger and chose the raspberry chipotle sauce (a standard accompaniment of the Jalapeño Popper Burger). The crispy fried jalapeños straddled  the border between mild and spicy, while the cream cheese cooled the fire.

The sauce also has a  sweetness that I didn’t expect — but craved with each bite.

The sweet potato fries, paired with cinnamon and honey flavored dipping sauce, were excellent. I pushed the basket of fries away, attempting to refrain, but my efforts proved futile.

My friend ordered the Sloppy Carolina Burger, comprising of fresh Angus Beef, coleslaw, chili and onion. The burger earns the moniker “sloppy”, but is worth the mess. The homemade chili was so good, it a bowl by itself would be welcome.

PerrysBurgers’ tagline proves to be true – “Uncommon Burgers & Unending Fries.” Whether you’re ready to explore new flavors or just keeping it simple with a classic cheeseburger, this restaurant is for everyone. Especially kids, who eat for free with adult purchase every Tuesday from 2pm-4pm, accompanied with story time and a movie.
