50 Best Burger Restaurants in Portland

“I am a burger lover and this exceeds my expectations. I wanted one when I was in Oklahoma, thank you for letting me finally have one in Oregon and you did a great job.“

“I asked GPT to help find me a few burger places to try and this is one that came up. And I understand why. The burger was great. The fries were amazing, and came with a ranch sauce that I could tell was hands down better then the ones most places serve.
The burger had a great texture and the way everything was prepared I didn't even bother trying to add ketchup to it even thou I add it to everything. It was just that good on it's own.

I wanted to try one of the malts but was so full from the burger that I now have a reason to go back.

This place is GREAT.“

“Incredibly nice staff, and the variety on the menu cannot be beat!“

“Friendly staff, great pricing and a fantastic smash burger! Wife and I both got the PB bacon and it was phenomenal. Only here for vacation, but if we are in the area again we will definitely be going!“

“Hands down I couldn't ask for a better burger.
Simple,sweet with cheese or without.
If you happen to have the munchies grab these burgers by the bag..if I could give this place six stars I would, these guys got something here...
If you don't know: you better ask around..
Love the nostalgia of the new place too.
Oh heads up they do tend to get a little busy so if your in a rush, place your order online so that way it ready when you arrive..
This place is what Portland's needed for quite some time, keep up the good work..
You guys get a round of applause seriously...
Oh don't forget to try the ranch dusted nuggets with the special sauce..frfr
You guys should think about doing a breakfast menu. Sure Shot style..
you'd probably take everyone's morning crowd it might piss a couple people off; but what's the wrong in a friendly competition..?
Carpe diem
Carpe nochem...seize your moment your very much deserving of it...“

“I usually get very good food here. But just ordered a coney long dog and went right home around the corner. The weiner wasn't even luke warm. Only thing that was somewhat a little over warm was the coney sauce. I guess I will have to try out at the McGloughlin Roakes. This was very depressing and disappointing.“

“Picked up an Amalfi Bounty sandwich for the road. Massive hoagie roll but delicious flavors and so many vegetables. Cheese is thinly sliced so it doesn’t overwhelm the fillings. There’s a parking lot here and the 2 unisex bathrooms are clean.“

“Best Burgers in Portland Oregon“

“PDX is our favorite burger joint. We hit them on the way to and from the coast. And anytime we are in Portland.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food. Well have to come back soon.“

“Went in for a burger and fries with a milkshake on the side! left with that PLUS a free fish and chip meal AND sweet potato fries just for letting them take pictures of the food!! great food! the fish is super juicy and the burger is bomb. fries and milkshakes filled me up. Thank you“

“I recommend this restaurant, I'm coming from Seattle WA with my family and we went to eat there, very good food, good customer service, everything clean. I invite you to visit them, you will love it.“

“Absolutely incredible Chicken sando. Basically art. Think Picasso. Think Jimi Hendrix, Beethoven, and the wide ranging prog rock innovations of Yes, but, like, a chicken sando. It will change you. Colors will be more radiant. People more handsome. This chicken sando will make you a better version of yourself. The burger is also good... But this chicken sando is truth in sandwich form.“

“I’m not sure if Jane is the owner but was very nice. There are two tablets to order on and it was super nice to have a sink to wash your hands not within the bathroom. The pricing was a little expensive but the food was delicious. I enjoyed a single hamburger, fries and even the chicken strips. The flavors really hit the spot! Ava loved the chocolate shake and she was even given quite a few unicorn stickers which made her day.“

“Cool little place.. great food & people..“

“If you're even remotely interested in possibly learning pinball, this is the place to be.“

“Great beer and the food carts are awesome!!“

“Love skyline burger . I’ve been going for years and I’ve never been disappointed“

“Amazing burgers, and a relaxed aesthetic with nice throw back alternative rock music playing.“

“Amazing burgers !!! The beast burger was great but the beast of the sea was outstanding. It was definitely the best burger I had in a while. The fries and the lemonade both were really good. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great burgers.“

“Delicious eats all the way around! Love the Dirty Dog and the beer cheese sauce is my favorite!“

“had a blast wit my luv!!!!!“

“They didn't even blink when I started listing off my autoimmune related allergies... and then it was awesome. Especially the sweet potato fries!“

“6/5 stars, beyond my expectations. My wife and I drove 50 minutes to try this new food truck in Portland after reading the OregonLive article about them. The food was phenomenal and have us craving for more. We ordered the Smash burger and fries, it was perfect in every way. The bun tasted homemade and super fresh, the patty was cooked perfectly and super flavorful, the homemade pickles were better than any pickles we’ve had from any restaurant, and the monster sauce was the best sauces I’ve had for a “special sauce” mixture (which I normally despise). The fries are cooked to perfection (my wife said she has never had a better fry in her life) and the garlic aioli was delicious. There was no big line, our food was served super quick and was super fresh. This food cart should be picking up business really quick so come get one of Portland’s best smash burgers while you can before the lines start forming.“

“Great food“

“I don’t eat that many burgers, but when I do it’s always Killer. Seriously, sometimes it’s a year between visits, and every time is perfect.“

“We found them on Google, walked in and gave them a try. They were so good! The pumpkin waffle was out of this world, and my husband loved the breakfast burrito. 10/10 recommend, will come back next visit to Portland. The atmosphere was so cozy, the art on the walls so much fun. Just a good place to eat overall.“

“Great old fashion homestyle burgers/food… I really like this place“

“I’ve wanted to check this place out for a while. I’m glad I finally made it up that way. I had a burger, fries, and a shake. Everything was very fresh and tasty. For a vegan place located out of the way, I was surprised by how many customers came in at 3 PM on a Friday. I’m glad it’s doing well! If I lived closer, I would be there often.

“Five stars for the best Reuben in town! Oh and these onion rings. Oh and the dips. It was mindblowing delicious! Super friendly staff. Coming back and back and back ...again and again :-)“

“I have only had the Zombie sandwich. All of them look good but I saw that I could have mustard and Russian dressing I almost fell over.“

“Superb experience. We visited Portland and came here based on the reviews. The five star review is well earned. The Barbacoa is the best I have ever tasted and the service is top rate. Well worth it and a cannot miss food choice while in Portland!“

“wonderful, consistent food! Alway's wonderful!“

“Even the 3 year old appreciated the incredible taste of the peanut butter bacon pickle burger! So good 20 stars!“

“Absolutely a wonderful time whether casual or just fun and a quick drink! Very nice staff and food was amazing! Matt, the bartender was very helpful!! Great Paninis and desserts and soup!! I will be back for sure!!!!“

“Tried the classic cold sandhwich and was blown away. Every ingredient in it, especially the meat and bread, was too quality. Very nice customer service and chill atmosphere. Only complaint is the limited hours they're open! Also tried my friend's cubano and while it was also delish we both thought it could use a little less ground mustard since it's so strong. Would definitely eat here again!“

“Best veggie burger of my life! Hands-down, they have the best veggie burger, and I consider myself an aficionado. It’s not the crap- filled, unhealthy version, the boring fart inducing version or the dry dusty crumbly version. It’s a beautiful, well crafted, superbly FLAVORFUL, house made veggie burger with vegetables and whole foods. The flavor has an adobo taste to it. Plus they put cheese on it! I love veggie burgers, but I’m not a vegan or vegetarian so this was just really cool. I would definitely come back here again soon.

We came here super late and all the car pods were closed about 10 minutes before they’re closing time. We were just about to scramble and find an alternative And saw that this car has their lights on. We rolled up, thinking that they were certainly not going to service, but they absolutely did and with a smile“

“I’m a Portland native. This building used to be a Roakes. Now that it’s Annie’s it has the best cheeseburgers in Portland Hands down: I’m so spoiled by this burger joint that I can’t eat any other burger anymore. Their Fries r perfect. They make shoestring fries by grating potatoes they come out in long soft fries greasy in the very best of ways.“

“food is fantastic, clean restaurant 😋“

“Best concert venue in portland in my opinion. Small space so you have a great angle to matter where you are. Arrive early if you want a seat,otherwise it’s standing room. There’s a really great bar/restaurant that you can stop by before or after the show that’s great, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. 10/10“

“Im from socal, its very hard to find a great place to eat since coming from down south. I freakn love the food here. I recommend the buche burrito or tacos it is some damn good with the murita hot sauce to put on it. Soooooo 😋. Everyone who works their so polite also and very respectful. I will keep coming here as much as I can.“

“Good location .Good food and a great staff“

“For a vintage drive-in, the food is amazing! Had the patty melt and it's the best I've ever had. Double meat, lots of cheese, grilled onion, and a really good rye. Do the tots! Yum!

Service was very good. Helpful and polite cashier.

Atmosphere is a bit...odd. the video poker games in the corners makes it a bit strange and the clientele is fun, as a people watcher.

This would be a place definitely Guy Fieri would have on his Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives because of he great food and hitting two of the three Ds.

If you need a perfect atmosphere, this is not your place. If you like solid drive in food for a great value. This is an awesome stop.“

“great atmosphere and food“

“My bacon cheeseburger was little but just the right size for me. It had good flavor. The fries were enough for two people and delicious as well.“

“I had an amazing experience at Applebee’s at Gateway! Shuranna Knepper was absolutely wonderful friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. I ordered the wonton tacos, a quesadilla, and a drink, and everything was delicious!
Shuranna’s great attitude and customer service really stood out and made my visit even better. It’s always nice to have a server who makes you feel welcomed and genuinely taken care of. Thank you, Shuranna, for the amazing service! I’ll definitely be back! ❤“

“I went to Sammy's on a friend's recommendation and it was amazing. It was pretty busy and there were only 2 people working. One cook and one front counter person taking orders and making milkshakes. I thought it would take a while but the food came out fairly fast. The onion rings were perfectly fried and crispy and the fish sandwich was moist and not overly breaded with a beautifully melted cheese skirt. The milkshakes were insanely good and handmade. Considering the great food quality, the prices were very reasonable. 10/10 I can't wait to go back.“

“I love this spot! Everyone who works here is so friendly. The homemade tortillas are delicious, their tres leches cake is really good, and the store is stocked with everything from kombucha to heavy cream to rolling papers. I even heard that they have live music sometimes on their patio!“

“Friendly staff, great atmosphere, fun music. Do recommend if you’re in the area.“

“My place to go for the arsenal games“
