At the Rusk Area Chamber of Commerce, we believe in keeping this page a space for positivity, encouragement, and support for our local businesses and community members. Negative comments, personal insults, and disrespect do not have a place here. Our page is intended to bring people together, promote our community, and celebrate the people and RACC investors that make Rusk County a great place to live and work. Let’s work together to uplift, support, and encourage one another. We may not always agree, but we can always choose to be respectful. Thank you for helping us keep this a welcoming, positive space for everyone.

Sincerely, the Executive Director, Rusk Area Chamber of Commerce!

🍔🍹🏆 RUSK COUNTY — THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! 🏆🍹🍔

The ballots have been received, counted, recounted, and verified. The **2026 Bloody Burger Battle** results are officially in!

This wasn’t an online poll or a popularity contest. You tasted, you voted!

People had to visit these establishments, purchase the competing item, taste it for themselves, and cast a real ballot. Every ballot represented someone who walked through the door and supported a local business.

**Every ballot was earned.**

Now, here are the establishments Rusk County placed at the top:

🍔 **2026 BURGER BATTLE CHAMPION**
🏆 **Jamie's Tavern**

🍹 **2026 BLOODY MARY BATTLE CHAMPION**

Congratulations to our champions, our finalists, and every establishment that stepped up to compete!

If you’re looking at these results and thinking your favorite burger or Bloody Mary belongs at the top, remember: these results are driven by the people who show up, try the entries, and return their ballots.

Next time, bring your friends, rally your regulars, and help get the entire community involved. Supporting your favorite local establishment starts by walking through its doors.

Jamie’s Tavern not only claimed the **2026 Burger Battle Championship**, but also led all participating establishments in completed ballot cards returned. That makes Jamie’s the perfect place to bring everyone together.

🏆 Join us at Jamie’s Tavern official **Burger Battle Championship Crowning and Awards Celebration** on Saturday, October 3rd at 1pm.

Thank you to everyone who participated, voted, sponsored, and supported local businesses throughout Rusk County.
