Just about everyone loves a good burger. There's so much you can do with them from spices and seasonings to seemingly endless toppings (and stuffings)!

Six restaurants in downtown Sioux Falls are participating in Burger Battle II to be crowned the best by your votes. And to say thank you for voting, you could win gift cards from participating restaurants!

Customers at Elements on 8th, Grille 100 at the Holiday Inn, JL Beers, Phillips Avenue Diner, Skelly’s Pub & Grill, and Wild Sage Grille will assign up to five points in each of five categories for every featured burger they try.  The categories include: Patty, Toppings, Bun, Presentation, and Value.  The burger with the highest average points at the conclusion of the battle will be declared the winner!
