The Best Burgers In Portland Oregon

A medieval delicacy and cuisine European immigrants brought to the U.S., minced meat became ground beef when the meat grinder was invented the early 19th century. As the production of beef intensified in the late 1800s, more meals began to include ground beef, including meatloaf and by the end of the 20th century the hamburger. Suitably, Portland has its own twists on the notorious fast food offender, turning the common hamburger into tasty gourmet fare. Read our list of the best burgers in Portland, Oregon.

Little Big Burger

Little Big Burger may be a chain restaurant, but more specifically, it’s a Portland chain, meaning it will be tasty, made with local ingredients, and likely full of experimental, excellent ideas you wish you could see incorporated into your own hometown burger joint. The burgers are made with local cascade natural beef, local cheeses, fresh vegetables, and Camden’s Catsup (ketchup without high fructose corn syrup). Besides quality burgers, order some mouthwatering truffle fries made of Yukon golden potatoes, white truffle oil, and sea salt, and maybe grab a canned microbrew to pair with your delectable burger.
