Sawyer's Downtown

03/19/2026

Hey all my burger eaters! Keep sending these interviews to me! Getting some better quality candidates and hopefully I can get some expansion going and maybe add some evenings downtown. As everyone knows it takes a special person to care about every customer that walks in the door. I'm looking for those special people! Incredibly grateful for everything you do to support us and all your years of royalty. 💙
2 days of Sweet 16 left and we can get settled down again.

Sawyer’s Closed Today March 17
Morning my chili eating friends. Unfortunately conditions today on the roads are atrocious, and I am not going to expect my staff to risk their cars for me to sell a few bowls of that wonderful chili. In an abundance of precaution Sawyer's will be closed today. We will obviously attempt to reopen tomorrow. Tomorrow is the first day of the boy's Sweet 16. I sure wish everybody would slow down on this invisible ice!
Hope to see you soon, your burger flippin' buddy, Jim

End of the UK Basketball Season 🏀💙 Another great year with our amazing customers! Thank you for everything especially the smiles 🤩

Hey our Cheeseburger eating UK basketball fan friends. 💙🏀
I cannot believe this home game season is over. It was just October! Get off your patios and come down and cheer on your cats!!!
Of course we will be open for you to enjoy a burger before you go in, but we will also be open an hour or so after the end of the game so people can come in and fill their tummy up before they drive home. 🍔 I'm thinking that will put us around 7ish. If there's a line in here we'll stay a little bit later than that. 40+ years of Big Blue fans......wow! 🙌🏻
Thank you for everything! Your burger flippin', chili dippin' Sawyer's buddies, Miss P, Derek, Rodney, Andrew, and Jim

Morning my wonderful networking friends! Need people to spread the word again. Everybody in America is looking for stable employees. Still trying to replace my awesome employee Tatum. The Air Force gained an awesome young lady there. I promise I'm interviewing as much as possible, but there are a few out there that have the features I'm looking for, and I need your help for that. I'm sure you have all been to a business recently where you scratched your head over the service and quality. I do not want to be that business! If you know anyone who sparkles, smiles, and generally seems happy being themselves, would you please steer them towards, https://www.sawyersdowntown.com/

Thank you for everything, and for 40 years of unwavering support. ❤️🍔

Good morning all my true blue Cat fan friends! 💙 Beautiful sunny day! ☀️The boys will be playing at 2:00 today so obviously we are here before the game but we will hang out 1 hour after the game to see if there are any hungry folks wanting to eat before they get back in their cars. So let's call today’s hours as 11:00 a.m. till about 5:00ish?
I have a fabulous crew (still can't find Tatum's replacement) and they will stay later if we have a line. You know where the best burger in town is.... come get it! 🍔Thank you for everything!
Your burger flipping buddies, Miss P, Derek, Rodney, Andrew, and of course old Jim!

You were missed tonight Gary! Get that knee better so we can see you again soon. Glad the surgery went well.......but.....no.....burger cheating!!!🍔

What's up Cat fans! 🍔 Finally the temperature is! Much needed after the last 2 weeks. Hard to believe there's only 2 home games left after tonight. It's a late game at 9:00 so Sawyer's will close at 2:00 and reopen at 5:00 for those people that like to arrive super early for the games. 🏀
One thing for sure UK fans are amazingly loyal! 🫶🏻 💙 Thank you for everything you've done for us! We hope to see you tonight. Your burger flippin' buddies, Miss P, Derek and Jim
