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.“

“Came in with my sister and had one of the best burgers I’ve come across in a while. It was an open kitchen concept, burgers made in front of us, and the fries ordered on the side came with sauce automatically which we loved. Good fry sauce too. Bravooo!“

“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!“

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

“Damn!! This place is stellar. Love the old school interior vibe that feels like stepping into a classic burger shop from the 70s or 80s, the no-frills menu, and their smashburgers are contenders for the best in Portland. They’re straightforward in a good way (cheese, pickles, special sauce) and extremely well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Fries were pristinely crispy shoestring style and YOU KNOW I gotta side of dat special sauce. Friendly staff and great aesthetic. I hope this place is open for a thousand years.“

“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.“

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

“Best Burgers in Portland Oregon“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..“

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

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

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

“Famished from traveling, I decided to research options for a great smash burger. Farmer and the Beast came highly rated, so I pulled the trigger. Happy I did.. the meat was Cooked to perfection. Flavorful not greasy just how I like a smash burger. Will stop by again if I’m ever in the area.“

“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!“

“The only negative is I'm from Canada and can't come here all the time.
I had the double burger and the nuggie and was gifted a strawberry shake. Everything was perfect. I have no notes.
Open a location closer to Canada is my note.
Great prices, great quality, great service.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This place deserves all the hype in the world!! My dad and I came here first thing after I was picked up from the airport after a 20 hour journey. I was craving some good Mexican food, and this place blew me away.

We were given 10/10 customer service, even getting samples—we ended up ordering tacos and enchiladas respectively. I left full and happy.

Will definitely be coming back and cannot recommend highly enough!“

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

“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.“

“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 :-)“

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

“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!!!!“

“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 😋“

“I've probably seen 100 shows (and played a couple myself) at Mississippi Studios over the 20+ years I've been in portand and the permutations the venue has seen. I'm not too sure how I've not reviewed it before.

This remains a highlight of Portland for me. It is right sized, where it can host both noteable (if not chart topping) ztouring acts or local heroes, while still being able to be 10 ft from the band. Sound is great so long as you find a good position in the room. I've seen contemporary classical to metal acts all shine here. It's a venue I will see a show in part because it's here, because I know the experience will largely be a good one.

Attached BarBar has solid fries and a good patio when you need fresh air, and additional bathrooms if there's a line in the venue.

Parking can be tough as Mississippi Ave is always bustling, but I've never ended up more than a few blocks away.“

“Good location .Good food and a great staff“

“Everything I've had here has been amazing! My favorite items: the French toast, Cheeseburger, and honey mustard! This place is a must try!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Give it a try and enjoy their great selection of Mexican Food Enchiladas, chilaquiles, burritos, tortas, tacos, birria tacos, etc 👌🏼🤌🏼🙌🏼 Pictures coming soon...“

“Everything!! service and drinks on point!!“

“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.“

“great atmosphere and food“

“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 really loved the wings and still do but after awhile the staff started being weird and the wings be really dry like they could be old or just fried too much… some the meat is so burnt there is no meat to really eat on the wing… this is new so I hope it doesn’t keep happening. This is my favorite wing spot! So I’m tryn to see if it changes.

The fried rice is good! The burger combo is fire and so are the fries.

Good food but they are not always kind to their long standing customers.“
