OK, let me start my review by saying I am a highly biased resident of Miamisburg Ohio. I grew up on these burgers and I really enjoy them. Let's start with the general idea. It's a wagon that sells hamburgers. The hamburgers are obviously not all hamburger, and have some sausage in them. I'm a big fan of this. In the recent years, they have started to cook them a little bit more crispy. One of the keys is to order them soft if this is a problem for you I don't really have a problem with the crunch. Also, it's just a fun line where a lot of the people are just very nice people. It always tends to be a nice group working in the wagon and I appreciate their hard work. It's cool to be in the middle of our city and possibly get identified by a passing car. Salt, pepper, pickle, onion. I'm going to let out the truth that may get me thrown out of the Miamisburg club, I take the pickle and onion off. Although, if you order them without it, they never seem to taste right. The Chips, water, and assorted pops are available as well. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. read more

Absolutely delicious, I can understand why this is a Dayton staple. While it is only a wagon, it is worth the lines and heat. The burgers are topped with onion, pickle, salt, and pepper. Despite the extra toppings it is very yummy and didn't need more in my opinion. I would recommend getting more than one just based on the size. A single burger runs for $1.50! read more

Hamburger Wagon - Burgers Near Me - Miamisburg, Ohio

The burgers are very good they only put pickle, onion, and a beef patty on the burger. The service was very quick and the workers were very considerate for us being first time customers. The atmosphere was simple you ordered at a food truck but got the taste of a big time burger joint. read more

Great food and kind staff! So delicious every time - Love it!!! Food is fresh and made right in front of you, which adds to the experience. Burgers are always hot and seasoned with a delicious seasoning blend! Located in the heart of downtown Miamisburg which is also a fun spot to walk around afterwards. Great experience every time!! read more

The BEST little hamburger spot in the area!! Staff is super friendly and the food is delicious! I love the simplicity of the process - choose how many hamburgers you'd like, pickle and/or onion, and that's it! Then, enjoy the most amazing little burger you've ever had. Prices are super fair and they work quickly to get everyone their food in a timely manner, even when the line looks long. Lots of free street parking around where you can park and walk over to the Hamburger Wagon. I can't wait until the next time I am in the area and can stop by! read more

With respect to the Miamisburg community and Hamburger Wagon. I drove 40 minutes just to give this a try and I wasn't a fan. The ladies inside see very friendly and everything seemed to be clean it was the burger that I went for and it didn't meet up to the hype. For many years this has been a fan favorite and a staple of the community but for me the burger was so thin and had very little taste. I mostly tasted the onion and the pepper that added. Maybe next time I'll get doubles and see if that makes a difference. read more

First time trying the Hamburger wagon and we are out of towners and I came across a review on Yelp. The place was easy to find, quick walk up service, no frills which I loved! The small burgers are on the small side which is perfect, just be advised to order more than you think LOL we originally ordered 2 each and a bag of chips each, we ate them so fast and went back for a few more each! I love what they are doing and the burgers they are serving, the taste is perfect! I love supporting local at home and out of town, we will be back every visit to Ohio we make! read more

These burgers are phenomenal Small simple with pickle onions salt and pepper Mouth watering experience They have a food truck and they come to a lot of festivals If you can try these burgers Mind blowing read more

I meant to take a picture of my burgers, but they were gone after seconds. Their website said that they were in the top 100 of best burgers in America, and they didn't disappoint! Everyone was really friendly and talkative. Just get ready to stand for an hour or more. Bring an umbrella! read more

Every time we're in town it's a must to stand in line for a bag of awesome burgers. Great opportunity to meet like minded folks

Amazing burgers. So simple but sooooo good. I visit the Hamburger Wagon as often as I can. read more

The Hamburger Wagon, a tradition unlike any other in the Hamburger Industry. The Hamburger Wagon (HW) is just that a wagon that cooks incredible hamburgers, it's been going strong for 110 years. I think this has to be where White Castle got their slider idea from, as sliders are HWs speciality. This place is full of Americana in their own unique way and the burgers, though different, are packed full of a power punch of scrumptious flavor. The menu is simple, get a single ($1.50), get a double ($3.00), drinks are $1.50 and chips are $1.50 and yes, it's such a great spot from yesteryear that they only take cash. Yet you still see a line for these incredible sliders that come with pickles, onion, salt and pepper, there are no other options, that's right no cheese and even without the cheese they are still amazing, amazing, amazing. So seriously, the HW is just that a Wagon on a square in town, that they roll away at the end of the day and take across the street and put in a garage. And yes, they are open in the Winter. I wish they were open a little later in the summer (only 7pm), but in the winter they are open to 6pm. So the ambiance is all weather dependent, it sits on a very cool square in the center of town and there is a riverside park a block away to take your food and enjoy the views (park is under renovation right now, August 2023), but when it's down it's the perfect place to bring your sliders. Drink options are water and about 5 or 6 different sodas. The service is great, they take about 5 orders at a time and start making the burgers right there in the wagon. It's a great spot and you'll highly enjoy the uniqueness of the HW and the taste as well, it's awesome!! read more

From out of town and sadly already ate lunch but I had to try this out. The burgers are small so I only got 2. You see the owner cooking and at first I thought it was water but it was grease from all the burgers. Didn't bother me but to some may be shocking. Very simple and there was a line for them. I enjoyed them and they were good and not spectacular because they were plain but they were cheap and better than most cheap burger places. The server taking the orders was organized and had a system and she was friendly. If I am ever back up there I will get my burger from the wagon. read more

I had an awesome experience at the hamburger wagon!!!!!!10/10 highly recommend it! Delicious!

Great food & service!! I've been going here & I highly recommend!! They are the best & I usually don't even eat hamburgers! I just told a friend about this & we are going there soon!! read more

We love eating here. It is like you went back to your childhood. The burgers are great and the pickles make them awesome. It is a little wagon that you order from. The service is always friendly and try their best to keep the line moving. We go back as much as we can. read more

The only thing that would keep me from waiting in line at the Hamburger Wagon is a full bladder. Otherwise it's well worth it. Those tiny little burgers are so good they will make your tongue slap your brain out. I get between three and four and that seems to fill me up. They have a great system in place and knock out burger after burger after burger. Give them a try! read more

Always great! A Miamisburg classic. I wish there was a way they could DoorDash! They want more for the review so here goes... It's a wagon that sells hamburgers...... Well, the wagon doesn't sell the hamburgers. The people in the wagon sell the hamburgers. Delicious. read more

Couldn't confirm there's no pork in their burgers. Said "if you have allergens I don't recommend eating it, but we can't tell you what's in it". Shady. Crappy place. Not sure why they exist. read more

Historic, simple and delicious! All that is really needed to be said. I am so glad we came here for lunch while visiting the area. There was a constant line but it moved quickly and efficiently. The burgers are like sliders so I suggest getting a couple. The way that they fry the burger leaves the sliders with a nice crunch that you don't get very often. Overall, I definitely recommend this hamburger wagon!! read more

Finally was able to visit here after hearing some good buzz on Chowdown Cincinnati. No line about 5:40 PM on a Monday. Vert friendly people that I had a nice conversation with while my burgers were being prepared. This hamburger stand, despite not being a brick-and-mortar business, has been here since 1913 !! So they preceded White Castle by 8 years and can legitimately claim to have originated "The Slider". Their burgers are fried in a pan and given a crispy coating that makes them different from other burgers, including White Castles. They were pretty good and a change of pace from ordinary burgers. We seldom get to Miamisburg, bit if we do, we will probably stop here. Scope it out for a unique piece of Americana. read more

Very good and different. It passes my taste test. I have been stopping there for years. I recommend.

D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G The WORST burger I've ever eaten in my life, and it wasn't inexpensive either. The meat has no flavor it just tastes like boiled grease. There aren't any decent side or drink options, it's crappy mediocre food and I don't recommend anyone waste their $$$ here. read more

A simple concept with big flavor! Accidentally drove by this place and couldn't resist the urge to stop. So glad I did! They have a single or a double, both reasonably priced. Topping choices were just pickles and onions. You could also get bagged chips and soda or water. I got a double, which isn't very big in size, but had tons of flavor. Sooooo good! The double was big enough for me but my husband ate 2. I've not had hamburgers prepared this way so it was a unique experience for me. Service is fast and friendly. I can see why this is a popular spot. If you're ever in the area, highly recommend. It's an outside mobile area with just a few sidewalk benches to sit on, so it's a to go kind of place. Probably a popular local lunch spot. read more

Hamburger Wagon - The Hamburger Wagon summer hours! - Burgers Near Me - Miamisburg, Ohio

This wagon began as a charitable endeavor in 1913 during the flood. The owners lived on high ground and made the burgers for flooded neighbors. The burgers are cooked fresh as ordered, are inexpensive, and for such a simple burger are delicious! Take cash, no credit Best I could tell. It's definitely worth the jaunt into downtown Miamisburg! read more

Don't hesitate to visit this fun and historic roadside stop in downtown Miamisburg. These slider style burgers have been great for literally 100 years. Hit the ATM before you stop by because they take cash only. read more

Hamburger Wagon - Burgers Near Me - Miamisburg, Ohio

Heard about this at work from a lot of locals. Had to try it ourselves. Simple menu and very affordable. Honestly though not worth the hype if you're not in town. While the ingredients are fresh the burger still comes off dry with no sauce or cheese options. A little mustard would go a long way traditionally. The pickles and onions are very fresh and crisp. The burgers are deep fried and maintained a decent amount of moisture If in town give them a go but don't expect a life changing experience as it doesn't live up to the hype but Im sure nostalgia plays in it for a lot of people read more

Quaint, unique experience. You'll understand why there is often a line. Not a big menu, just big flavor in their hamburgers.

really great sliders, service was fine, parking was in the middle of a busy roundabout, and they only accept cash. maybe I'll go back if I'm in the area, but it wasn't worth the drive for such a small meal. read more

The hamburger wagon is a great experience and some really yummy sliders. I am very glad that we were passing by here and got to make the stop. The staff was very friendly and they make the burgers while you watch! read more

Tasteless little hockey pucks. Service is not that great. The ambiance is that of an outdoor food stand, so you can rate that however you want. It draws a lot of people because it has been a Miamisburg institution for so many years. I remember their burgers tasting better many years ago, but not much better. I don't think people even pose the question if these little hockey pucks are really good or if they just go there because of tradition. I know there are many other superior burger joints in the area where you can get better value for your buck. read more

Love this place! We like to stop here when we are in town visiting family. I love these slider burgers. The ingredients are quality. The burgers have just the right crunch to them. They come with onion and a pickle on them. I believe they're $1.5 each, which is awesome. I love that they still operate out of a wagon. There is usually a line, but it moves quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Hamburger Wagon - Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Miamisburg, Ohio

I honestly can not believe how many people have gave this five stars. This was easily the worse thing I have ever ate in my life. My husband went to this place alot when he was younger and we were going home to Dayton for his birthday. We stopped here for lunch and it was my first time having it. We ordered four burgers with "everything" on them. Which is just pickle and onion. Four burgers and a soda was $7.50. Not bad. Waited in line 20 minutes. Didn't realize they only take cash so had to run to the ATM while waiting. I knew these burgers were slider size, but these aren't even sliders. I took a one bite and spit it out. This isn't meat. This is like they scrapped all of the crud off of the grill and put it on to a hamburger bun. It was gross crunchy. Had zero thickness. Had zero flavor or juice. My husband said it was the worst burger he's ever had in his life and it wasn't how he remembered it when he was little. Not even nostalgia could save it. "I may as well have licked the grill." - My husband I can't even truly explain how awful it was. It would have been better just as an onion and pickle sandwich. I will say some positives. It's cheap, the guy working was nice, and they take covid seriously. I'm just going to leave it at that. read more

Go out of your way to visit this rare establishment! Wait outside in line. Yell out your order when acknowledged by the cooks in the street wagon. Take the sack to your car drive somewhere close and savor the unique flavors. read more

I don't get the hype. Plain, small, crispy scrap of burger with a pickle. I don't understand why these are liked so much. No sides, nothing to add to the burger. Just mediocre at best and a waste of time and money. I guess they just aren't for me. read more

Can never get enough of this place. It is the best burger I have had in Ohio, HANDS DOWN. The pickle and burger patty alone are enough to bring me out of a coma. Also, props to the people working at this shindig! They never fail to have a smile on their face and work timely. You can taste the effort, dedication, and overwhelming LOVE in the burgers. As for the atmosphere of the wagon... ITS A FREAKING WAGON! Um one word... ADORABLE. It can get a little busy and draw a line around the corner, but nonetheless, the second I am in sight of the wagon, I am viciously kicking my feet. This place is a must try! read more

Bang for your buck: 9/10 Quality: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance/Location: 10/10 Overall: 9.5/10 We're huge fans of hamburgers, especially tiny hamburgers, and extra especially any restaurant that's stood the test of time. Hamburger Wagon checks all of those boxes! This little spot (quite literally a wagon) in downtown Miamisburg requires you to park your car (ample parking, woo hoo!), walk up to the ordering window and decide how many lil burgers will squash your hunger. They're super cheap at only $1.25 a piece (cash only, so don't forget about that) and they come with salt, pepper, onion, and pickle, a throw back to simpler burger times. They also sell chips, soda, and water to round out your meal. Grab a seat at one of the many benches peppered around the square and enjoy your sack o'burgers, or hop back in your car and speed off with them to be enjoyed literally anywhere! read more

If Wimpy were alive (his character was created in 1931) , you would find him standing in line awaiting a burger from Hamburger Wagon. An iconic fixture of the 'Burg dating back to 1913, no trip to downtown Miamisburg is complete without a sack of deliciousness from Hamburger Wagon. Here's a tip from a longtime 'Burg resident and Hamburger Wagon aficionado-- make this a lunch "stop" when biking through the 'Burg. My figure doesn't mirror Wimpy, but I do share his liking for a damn good burger. It's right off the bike trail. You'll burn off the calories on your journey back home. Open year round. Biking not your thing? There's a park across the street and the Great Miami River to gaze at if you need a break or decompress from Covid-19. Date spot, work event, or cell phone intervention /bonding with a mutant teenage son or daughter, Hamburger Wagon is a top pick. Wimpy and 'Burg resident approved. read more

Hamburger Wagon - Wimpy approved! - Burgers Near Me - Miamisburg, Ohio

The best mini burger on the planet ! I can't not stop there every time I drive through Miamisburg....

These are the tastiest hamburgers I've ever had. I was also impressed by how sanitary the cooking environment is, considering it's an outdoor (cash only) stand. After a bout of food poisoning, I'm a stickler when it comes to food safety. I watched the staff and they did an amazing job maintaining proper hygiene. Fast, tasty, and well-trained staff. I highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more
