Hello all our UK B-ball 🏀burger and chili eat'n buddies! Hard to believe that 6 weeks from this Friday is Big Blue Madness!! After this hot and wet summer we can't wait to see your faces again!! As we get closer to that we are gearing up staff wise and need you to spread the word that we need a few more bodies. Our pay is amazing and I always feed our crew for free. Would love to find a full-time or two. Another awesome thing is they get to meet all your UK fans!! Remember no chili cheatin'! Lol
Thanks for everything!
Your burger flippin' buddies,
Derek, Rodney, Miss P and the bald guy Jim.

Hey all our burger eating friends. We think we have our Rodney back! After missing a few weeks from surgery, we're gonna give this Saturday a go with Rodney easing back into the cook position. Hope to be going 6 days a week full steam for the rest of the year and obviously working like crazy trying to get nights going. Would love to be able to get a team for Doordash. Lots of things going on but wanted you to know we will be open August 1st 11:00 to 2:00!! Thank you so much and we'll see you soon... Your a burger flippin' buddies, Jim, Derek, Rodney and Miss P

Hey all my super burger eatin' friends. Our awesome cook (Rodney) has not healed from his surgery completely and rather than hurry him in I am going to shut the store again on Saturday, July 25th. Working everyone 6 days a week takes away so much valuable time from rest, housework, wives, 3 year olds and so much more. Still interviewing as much as we can..... Send more people our way! Hard to believe football and basketball are right around the corner. So to recap, send us more talent but don't come down Saturday the 25th! Thank you for everything you have done for us and being awesome customers.
Your burger flippin' buddies, Miss P, Derek, Rodney and ole bald Jim.

The end of a very long hard day, but there's still time to wish Happy Birthday to an awesome man. Happy birthday Carrol Morris!!! The patriarch to one of the most amazing families the Sawyer’s team knows. It's families like the one that you have built, that remind me of why we do, what we do.
Happy 90th birthday friend. Your burger flipping buddies, Jim and Mollie

Hey all you wonderful Burger eatin' friends of ours! Just a heads up that we are close tomorrow JULY 11, to give the crew a break after working 3 weeks straight. Could not do it without them and they deserve a break. So don't head downtown for your burger "Jones" tomorrow.
Put a bug in your ear again that we are still trying to replace Tatum! Dag burn Air Force!!! They just don't make them dependable and stable like her anymore. Thanks for all your support!!! Your burger flippin' buddies, Miss P, D, Rodney and knucklehead Jim. Lol

Hey you awesome burger eatin' friends! 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Well we're halfway through the year. Of course we will be open on the 4th of July so everyone can grab a bite during and right after the parade. We will be open until our normal 2:00 p.m.

We are still hoping to find a replacement for our awesome Tatum. (We miss you Tatum!) It's going to take a really special person to replace that young lady. If you an honest hard worker please send them to sawyersdowntown.com to apply.

A big heads up about next weekend the 11th of July! I have one employee down from a much needed surgery so we are going to give the staff a break on the 11th of July and be closed. So squeeze your burger eating in before we close next Saturday. 🍔
Everybody be extra careful in this crazy heat....🥵
Your burger flippin' buddies,

Mollie, Derek, Rodney, and Jim.

An amazing group of seniors! Good luck in your next adventure!! You will all go far!!

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.
Your burger flippin' buddy, Jim
