Marco’s Cafe

Nice breakfast cafe menu, well prepared, big, hot and tasty (yes, breakfast, get your minds out of the gutter, boys…). I was there with the latest Breakfast Club UYE and showed up before the others.  While I was waiting out front, I got asked at least 5 times if I needed anything.  Nice!  Eventually, I went up to the bar to order while I continued to hang out.  I was sorely tempted by huckleberry pancakes or a bacon scramble, or roast beef hash, or… well, you get the point, but I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak.  As a Texas transplant, …Read the Rest

Killer Burger – Portland

Staggered, trying to rouse myself into some form of useful physical activity, I am instead trying to think if I have ever had a better burger than the one I enjoyed this afternoon.  Killer Burger sets a new standard.   Portland, for some reason, is blessed with a number of …Read the Rest

Little Big Burger – Portland

I was downtown, and I’ve heard a lot about this place so I thought I’d give it a try. When I first rolled up I saw a bunch of people outside, and music playing. Like it was a club or something. I figured they were just hanging out, on their …Read the Rest

Joe’s Burgers : Tigard

When Joe Rapport thinks back to starting his career in fine dining during the late 1970s with Wolfgang Puck at Ma Maison in Southern California, one of his fondest memories is the chefs indulging in cheeseburgers from the Sunset Grill and chili dogs from Pink’s Hot Dogs.  Oregonlive.com – Read …Read the Rest

The setting for Helvetia Tavern could not possibly be more idyllic. This eccentric little tavern sits right out among some of Oregon’s most beautiful farm land.

Ford’s on Fifth – NW Portland

To be honest, I discovered the deliciousness that is Ford’s on Fifth very late one night when several friends and I were in great need of some greasy grub before calling it a night. But I was happily surprised to discover Ford’s is also a great place to grab lunch …Read the Rest

Annie’s – Beaverton

My wife and I tried out Annie’s a few weeks ago. I remember eating some good burgers there over 10 years ago (formerly Roake’s?). They moved, or were closed, for several years but now they are back up in running in their original location on T.V. Highway. Portland Hamburgers – …Read the Rest

Jim Dandy – Sandy

After driving by Jim Dandy so many times, my wife and I decided it was finally time to check it out. She ordered The Works (2 patties, cheese, bacon, ham & egg). The patties were pre-formed and frozen, but they had a really good flavor. The onions were especially good, …Read the Rest

McMenamin’s St. Johns Pub – N Portland

Fresh local ingredients and consistency in presentation are the hallmark of McMenamin’s establishments. Well, that and a lot of microbrew varieties. The St. Johns Pub offers a nice balcony with wrought iron railing, overstuffed chairs, a traditional bar, outdoor seating, and a dome shaped movie theater. Nice place to hole …Read the Rest

George’s Giant Hamburgers – Tigard

There are several ways George’s could improve: 1) Recliners at every table. You will want a nap when you’re done anyway, so they really could help out by providing recliners. 2) Opening another location closer to my house. 3) Uh, I got nothing. Yelp – Read More>

Amnesia Brewing

The menu here consists of 4 items.  They have a burger, a veggie burger, sausage on a bun (with varying levels of spice), and something else that I don’t remember but doesn’t matter anyway.  The burger is $8 and comes with a side of potato chips.  They don’t really have …Read the Rest

Stanich’s

Walking in the front door of Stanich’s is like walking into a time warp.  The entire place is filled with vintage sports pennants, college and professional, covering every wood-paneled wall.  That’s fine by me, but Pittsburgh was only represented with a single pennant… come on!  Nevertheless, it was cool to …Read the Rest

Lew’s Drive In

My seating choice was outside, but they took my order at the inside counter after answering a few relevant (to me) questions: “Are the tots fried or baked?” “Fried.” “Does the “Coney Island Hamburger” have a hot dog on top, or just the sauce?” Just the sauce. Portland Hamburgers – …Read the Rest

Brunchbox

It’s no wonder that Brunchbox has 100+ reviews and 4.5 star average…I can personally attest to the fact that the “Youcanhascheeseburger” special is worth the hype. Truth be told, it’s more of a “patty melt” than a “burger” since the beef patty is sandwiched in between 2 grilled cheeses on …Read the Rest
