Oct. 20—Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway is getting a new dining option known for its famous burgers and housemade shakes.
"We are constantly searching for ways to expand our offerings for our guests," said Jennifer Woffindale, director of marketing at Hollywood Gaming. "This summer our sister property in Columbus, OH opened a Wahlburgers. Because of the positive feedback from that location we want to bring that venue to Dayton."
This will be the first Wahlburgers in the Dayton area. In addition to Columbus, Wahlburgers has two other Ohio locations in Cincinnati and Cleveland.
Wahlburgers first opened in 2011 in Hingham, Massachusetts by Paul Wahlberg. According to the restaurant's website, Wahlberg loved food and his family, but he wasn't satisfied cooking just for them.
"He wanted to cook for everyone else's family too," the website said. "He was hungry for something more. So, he created Wahlburgers."
Woffindale said Wahlburgers is going into an unoccupied space in their food court area. Construction will begin soon and the existing space is getting a refresh, she explained.
"It is too early in the process to have an expected date, but we are hopeful to open the dining outlet toward the end of Q4," Woffindale said.
According to its website, Wahlburgers has an array of starters including Spicy Cheese & Bacon Tots, Crispy Fried Pickles and Buffalo Chicken Wahlbites. Burgers include The Our Burger featuring a beef burger, government cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and Paul's signature Wahl Sauce and The BBQ Bacon featuring a beef burger, white cheddar, bacon, fresh jalapeños, BBQ sauce and avocado spread. The restaurant also offers salads, other sandwiches, housemade shakes and more.
Wahlburgers is joining three other dining venues at the racino: Skybox Sports Bar, Take 2 Grill and Zombie Dogz. The racino is planning to keep Zombie Dogz open this month as long as weather permits. The food truck is booking private events.
"Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway is the destination for great food, entertainment and fun," Woffindale said.
