40 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 😋“

“So this place use to be super good. Now it’s just subpar food.If you’re going to go here eat at the restaurant. It does not travel well in the colder weather. The burger patties use to be hand pressed now they seem to be frozen pre made patties. But honestly the best things here are the sides and sauces. Cheese curds hands down best ever! But for sure eat them there or in the parking lot. The cajun sauce super yum! But even with just ok food the customer service gets five stars super friendly staff.“

“krissy is a phenomenal pit Master you will love to put her meat in your mouth“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“great first experience thank you 😃“

“Totally awesome dining experience. Very friendly family atmosphere“

“Was welcomed and guided to my seat with comfort and love by Tyesha. My waitress, she was so mighty helpful when I was trying to decide what to order. It was delivered in a meaningful time. And she was very accommodating and caring.
10 out of 10“

“We went for dinner tonight at Applebee's, and Our server was Riley, she took real good care of Us, checked if we needed more to drink and stuff. Also, I had electronic gift cards, and the Manager Josie was great and took care of processing them for me!! Both were real friendly.“

“This is the hole-in-the-wall diner you need to visit! The food is amazing and not greasy at all. They have small portions to order if you’d like and the service was wonderful. This is a sit down experience that takes a little time but the food is made with love. 10/10.“

“So good we are writing a review!! It’s hard to remember when I’ve ever had a better burger. Perfect toasted bun, crisp lettuce, and the patty is top notch and juicy. What really got us was the awesome staff. They keep helping us decide and make sure we are having a great experience all around. All the stars.“

“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.“

“Our cashier was wonderfully friendly yet professional. The location is super clean and inviting, restrooms clean, great spot. We had chicken tenders this time and they are THE BEST! I mean real chicken breast! That’s hard to find and at such a good price! We got 3 piece tenders and it is 3 FULL pieces with fries for $20 bucks! What a deal! Thank you Nancy Jo’s for being so yummy and hiring such good workers that show up to be good company for each other AND work.“

“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.“

“Great spot and a great burger and fries. Their buns are super soft but hold the burger together well. The fries are great as well. Been there a few times and they are consistent. A single point burger joint as far as I know. Go give them a try and support them. 👏“

“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.“

“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.“

“Let me start by saying, I have been to other Nancy Jo’s locations before so this review has elements of comparisons to past visits, and other locations. The energy level of staff was reflected in the excitement and quality of my order. Staff enthusiasm was incredibly low and the meat was dangerously close to be call well done. Both were very dry. I ordered about a hundred dollars worth of food and drink. We tried various types of burgers and sides and the best part was the bacon in the bacon burger and the onion rings. We were the only customers eating on site although a few DoorDash or pickups came through while we were there so it wasn’t a lack of capacity. My daughter found a hair in her food, and while I cannot be 100% sure it wasn’t hers, it would not surprise me if it was a staff members based on my overall experience, and the lack of head covering by kitchen staff. Other locations have flavor bursting out of the food and charismatic staff. Sadly that was not the case on this visit. The majority of our burgers had hardly any sauce at all, despite asking for “the works” so we added sauce at the self serve counter pump sauce container. This is my local Nancy Jo’s and it is disappointing to write this review.“

“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.!“

“I was looking for good hot dogs near downtown Salem. This place popped up so I thought I'd try it. They really only had one hot dog and it was more of a bar like setting, however they are kid friendly in most of the place. The atmosphere is great. The staff is friendly. But if all your looking for is hot dogs that is not their specialty. Don't get me wrong the hot dog was very enjoyable but they only have the one style. I am definitely interested in going back another time and trying some of their other food because it looks really good and looks like good portions at reasonable prices“

“​I arrived hot and exhausted from a five-hour drive, and I was not disappointed! I was shown to the perfect seat at the bar so I could watch not just one World Cup game, but both on screens side-by-side at the same time. Tanith, the server at the bar, was so helpful in navigating the menu so I could get exactly what I wanted.
​The artichoke dip arrived sizzling hot, the fettuccine had plenty of sauce, and I received sour cream to finish off the dip without even a hint that my request was weird. I love that this Applebee's has plenty of Michelob Ultra Zero stocked. I was able to watch both games all the way to the end and still drive safely afterward.
​The genuine, friendly nature of the staff here makes me want to come back even if it's not convenient. I'm ready for another day of driving because I was able to relax. Thanks, guys!“

“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!“

“I went to Burgerville for the first time ever last night. My fiancé and I ordered 1 chocolate malt, and 1 strawberry shake- both larges, with no whip. We were given 1 large, and 1 medium- not the end of the world, but a little disappointing, and we didn't have the time to have them remake it, and didn't want the other one wasted. The shakes were amazing however.
The prices were higher than some fast food, but less than I thought they would be with their reputation for being pricey- this was a better price than another famous ice cream place we decided not to go to that wanted over $10 for what I got here for $7.something (the malt).“

“Took a friend there for lunch ..he hadn't been to a 5 guys before .. He was extremely impressed and found his double burger with the works fantastic.
Burgers are always fresh and made to order. Don't forget those fries !!! Small is all you'll need !!“

“breakfast and burgers has been here for over 10 years now. We have tried the CORNED BEEF Hash for breakfast yesterday. It was so fresh since it was HOMEMADE. I literally just finished my second order in two days. I highly recommend for a St. Patrick's Day meal. There's something for everyone here. This was the best corned beef hash I've ever had. They are kind people with great food to enjoy with you. if you decide to try it, tell them I said hi!“

“Had a long, rough day at work. Didn’t have the energy to make dinner and decided to pop into this location real quick instead. Lily, the girl at the drive thru seriously deserves a raise. Great customer service, very sweet to my fur baby who tagged along for the ride, and just a very kind, friendly person.“

“great first experience thank you 😃“

“The food here is phenomenal 💜“

“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!)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Logansport DQ is the best in the country! We've traveled a lot and the Logansport DQ is the cleanest, friendliest and the all around best DQ!“

“Solid spot for a quick meal. I visited Carl’s Jr. on Baxter and my order came out hot and fresh without much wait. The staff was friendly and efficient, which made the experience better.. A reliable option when you’re craving fast food:“

“this place is a ghost kitchen at Denny's for delivery orders and hey it was pretty dang good. I could not find any fault. Only thing I wish was possible was to add/remove ingredients in the app, I don't like tomatoes, didn't want tomatoes on the burger, and that's the app's fault, not this place's fault. They sent me some excellent warm delicious food, so 5 stars, great burger, and thank you“

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

“Good was hot. Order was correct. Service was very nice. Only thing was she handed me my ice cream cone and it feel over I had to catch the ice cream with my other hand. I had to ask for napkins. She never offered to remake it. Bummed a little.“

“Got a family bucket 8 piece chicken meal with two mashed potatoes and gravy and a large coleslaw for biscuits all for only 22 bucks that's a killer deal for today's prices and their large mashed potatoes are actually large if you go to Popeyes you get about half the size for a dollar more they did forget my coleslaw I got home and called and spoke with Lindsey she was very nice and when I got there there was a few people in line upset that they did not get their food but I felt bad for the workers because they were swamped and obviously the manager was trying to train new people they were really busy so I gave them for stars even though they forgot my coleslaw because they were trying really hard to make everybody happy. I'll go back again“

“Went to the drive thru to get a frosty. Unfortunately I dont know his name, but the drive thru attendant was great.
RANT, to the food or in my case the frosty. I wax definitely disappointed in the value of the frosty for the price. I ordered a large, which seemed more like a medium, at a extra large price. This must be why I generally dont go to fast food establishments.“
