41 Best Burger Restaurants in Salem

“First time at Bo & Vine yesterday & still thinking about how great it was today. The burgers were scrumptious so I'm trying the chicken next time! The fries, tots, & sauces were outstanding. And try the hard cider shake! You won't be sorry 😋“

“Came out to lunch for our first time here. My mouth started salivating as soon as the scent coming from the kitchen hit my nose!!! Lemme tell you, the food did not disappoint! It was everything my nose described and more 😊“

“Outrageously good burgers and fries!! Best blue cheese burger ever, and the fries are delicious too.“

“I am so glad my family found this food truck!!! Best burgers EVER!! The workers are great! They always accommodate my food preferences(for example:raw onions instead of grilled)! Friendly service! Everything is always seasoned so perfectly! I can not recommend this place enough for a great burger! Go try it!!!“

“Totally awesome dining experience. Very friendly family atmosphere“

“Excellent, friendly service. Very plus size friendly. comfortable tables and chairs without arms. Seems very wheelchair accessible.No booths, only tables and chairs. Has a wheelchair ramp and it's fairly open and easy to move around. I am not a wheelchair user myself, but as a large woman, I like seeing lots of space to move around. Their food is excellent and their milkshakes are absolutely DEVINE!“

“The best burger not only in Salem, but in the known universe. Go here, seriously.“

“I'm a regular at The Sassy Onion and I highly recommend. the food is awesome and a shout out to ALL staff...you guys are the best.“

“Service was awesome and the Western Rex burger is my daughter's new favorite!“

“My order was wrong, so I had to have them remake it and they didn't seem happy at all to have to do it. When I got my new order, I could tell I was right about them not being happy about having to do it because the first order looked amazing like it was cooked with love, now the second order didn't look like it was made with love at all. It literally looked slapped together. They tasted TOTALLY different even though there was only a one ingredient difference - the difference is it wasn't made with love“

“great first experience thank you 😃“

“Outstanding food, service, and value! The burgers are delicious and loaded with toppings. You need a big mouth and lots of napkins to devour one here! We have been stopping here for years on our way to/from the coast. It’s actually a highlight of the trips! The staff are so nice, kind, respectful, caring, in a world where those qualities are hard to find. This restaurant is doing it all right. It feels like money and time well spent!“

“Great atmosphere. I love the food cart vibes. The guy working was definitely an awesome person, and I truly enjoyed what he was doing.. and it looked very clean inside..other then that the burger and fries were alright, definitely not the best, but far from the worst worth stopping by for a decent burger.!“

“Absolutely love this place! everything about was amazing. The food was delicious. Please try the German sausage, you won't be disappointed. The hash browns were crispy on BOTH sides . The lady who took our order was the sweetest & did her job with excellence. For the price, they give you so much food. We couldn't finished it all & had to do to go boxes! Gonna stop by here again when we have the chance.“

“My husband, myself and a friend had lunch at Santiam today. Stephanie was our server and was absolutely great. Very knowledgeable about drinks and food. She recommended some things. The food was just excellent as was the cherry cider I had.“

“Good old fashioned burger joint, with simple but delicious food. The burgers and fries are pretty yummy & them amazing thick fries so good( if you know you know) and let’s not even forget about the fry sauce. Give it a try if you’re in the mood for a simple but satisfying burger meal.“

“Not the most comfortable with hard chairs and a huge noisy fan inside the dining room. Burgers are always cooked well and meat is fresh, but if you make changes to the standard order, like items on the side (like pickles), they often forget. Soda price is ridiculous at $3 for a 20 oz. Fries are amazing and super freshly cooked most of the time. We like it better than the Robin and the in and out place.
Worth the visit for sure.“

“I had a late lunch at Applebee's in Salem, Oregon today 12/9/25. The server's name was Anya. She has a great smile, she's kind, personable, attentive, yet not overbearing. She warned me that the Cajun pasta dish I was ordering may be too spicy for some people, which I appreciated. The dish came in an appropriate amount of time. The meal was hot, and it was spicy, yet for me the meal was just right, and well prepared. Server Anya asked if I wanted my coffee filled, which I did and she brought me a whole new fresh cup. At the end Anya thanked me for coming in, told me about a burger special being ran during the holidays and invited me back. Wonderful service and an excellent meal. I will definately be back!“

“I got an insane amount of delicious food for so cheap, the waitresses and bartender were so friendly and pretty and it was such a nice clean place with fun atmosphere! 10/10 would go again.“

“Good hangout place & family dining, friendly staff, best perfect margarita, good food. Food is becoming more spicy. What happened to you can always add ? But once breaded, or pico is made to spicy you cannot take it out. I'm sensitive to it and some of the foods I ate prior I cannot eat anymore.“

“Their burgers are awesome at this location. A little cramped with the design of this store so we always get it to go. Drive through moved quickly every time we visited but do check your bag and make sure you got everything you ordered as we had to come back a couple times as our ordered sides like fries were missing a couple of times. But I understand, they are busy and try to move the orders quickly. Can get a little pricey but other then that, great food.“

“Not just another fast food place, however, like all eateries in the state I am sure they are struggling. Burgers & fries are shrinking but still delicious.“

“The staff was AMAZING for my Make a Wish family’s send-off party! Diana, Chris, Julia, and friends were so accommodating from setup of our table, serving food, and helping assist the final clean up. Every staff member wore Disney gear, from entire costumes and Pajama onesies to mouse ear headbands. Mirabel/Julia was a most wonderful waitress and the whole family loved her. Their team provided an entire party for us, filled with balloons, Encanto glasses, crazy straws, and even helped us setup additional decorations. I could tell they were so excited to apart of something special, and the thing is, they were the ones that made it so special. One server told me “we’ve been shopping for this for weeks!” They all smiled as they came by the table to say hello to our wish family. The entire restaurant transformed just for our wish and it was an amazing experience. My heart was touched by the joyful nature of these employees. Everyone came together to celebrate my wish kid, and I am forever grateful for their thoughtfulness. So often we talk about our wish kids bringing hope to the world, but now I realize that the hope also comes from those who come to help. Thank you for being part of our wish granting team <3 - Kiana & Jan (I’d like to add photos to the original post but the button isn’t working so I’ve added them to the comments!)“

“Thank you IHOP for recognizing Veterans! My breakfast was yum yum good. Our waiter Daniel was most friendly and welcoming. He was most attentive to our dining needs and thanked me for my service. What a wonderful way to start my day here in Salem, Oregon.“

“I had not been to Nancy Jo's in a long time. Was invited to lunch by a co-worker and remembered how awesome the burgers were. Highly recommend for flavor and topping choices. Also, the staff at Lancaster were very kind and energetic toward all customers creating a good atmosphere to dine.“

“Went in on Valentines day and the bartender was great! Kept all the customers taken care of and was very pleasant to talk to. With a bartender like her, you can be sure I will be back!“

“Greeted immediately and the best customer service! The gentleman taking orders was friendly and eager to assist each person who entered with an amazing attitude and a smile. WOW! Food was fresh and brought out within 5-10 minutes including hot and fresh food. Thank you for the service!“

“The food here is phenomenal 💜“

“Took our toddler out for a family dinner and had a great experience at this Applebees, thanks in large part to our server, Spencer. Spencer was so thoughtful about and interactive with the little one which made dining out easy and enjoyable! We were thankful!“

“Went for the first time today. Breakfast was great. super friendly staff. love its locally owned.“

“great first experience thank you 😃“

“This place has burgers.

Who knew?

Every time I go it's only four guys though.

They're decent hamburgers... Think something between Burger King and killer Burger. Solid three and a half.

For me though, it's always Nancy's!“

“Top Dog has excellent Asian food. The Yakisoba and rice bowls are delicious. Great little sports bar with nice atmosphere. Clean and not a dingy feel. They do staff lightly so they do get overwhelmef when busy but if you are chill it is no worries.“

“Drive thru staff was great and friendly. Prompt on getting our order taken and drinks out. Took longer for the food and was disappointed when the bag was handed to us. The fries were almost cold. I am pretty sure they might of been closing but didn't see the hours. I figured with how long we waiting everything would of been warm or hot. Not so much“

“I was really tired after a night shift so I was glad I order on the app food ready for pick up. Loved the croissant sandwich I got love the tater rounds. This morning was breakfast. I do love that I can order a hamburger and onion rings at the breakfast time. For those days I work mornings and don't want breakfast foods.“

“No matter who is working drive-thru, the staff is always so friendly with friendly voices. Food is always hot and quick and tastes good. I was bummed though when I went to this location on 10/26/24 and got a soda. The soda tasted flat so I asked the worker if I could get something else. He happily offered but that drink was flat too. You could tell even by the color and lack of carbonation in the sodas. He said the CO2 might be low/bad but there was nothing they could do for me. So I was bummed that I paid money for something I couldn't enjoy.“

“When I order my Blizzard and ask for extra flavor put extra flavor. Also mix it all the way down to the bottom not just the top. This used to be my favorite spot. Customer service needs alot of help! Dairy Queen Grill & Chill, 4023 Commercial St SE, Salem, OR 97302“

“Shelly is amazing!!!!! Best ever! Best mixologist in town“

“The same guy has owned this franchise for over 35 years and he cares about the business and his customers. I go just for the drinks but I pass the time with him if there isn't a line. The original Orange Julius is still my favorite. Make it a medium, please.“

“Keith and Casey where great, very kind and took time to actually be helpful, I dont like fast food at all, but occasionally we will stop, alot of times the staff are rude and short, and get irritated if you dont instantly know what you want, these guys were great, answered all of my questions, and were very patient and polite, GREAT JOB GUYS!“
