killer burger sellwood

major screw-up but more than made up for. my wife suggested this place because she'd eaten at the killer burger in vancouver a few times. so, we drove over to the sellwood location for the peanut butter, pickle and bacon burgers and it so happened to be happy hour. after parking nearly a block away, we walked down and the place wasn't overly busy at late afternoon. we ordered the happy hour baskets, peanut butter burgers and two beers and gave them my name. the service was friendly and helpful. after paying, getting our beers and taking window seats we sipped on the great brews while waiting for our food. we didn't wait too long and our server came over with two plates with half burgers and golden fries.

interesting, i thought, happy hour meant half burgers, that's not a deal at $4.95 when the full deal was $7.95, and shouldn't it have said that happy hour baskets were half burgers?

so we bit in and discovered two things; the fried were wonderful, but the burgers were not what we ordered as they had cheese and no peanut butter, we'd been serves their "classic" burger, cut in half. we were both too hungry to let this mishap bother us and enjoyed what we had. about the time i was finished, a woman came over and asked how things were.

"well, they are really good, except that we ordered the peanut butter burgers and got the classic." she apologized and camebackwith a card that was good for a free burger basket at our next visit. now that's customer service.

a few minutes more pass and i hear my name called out. this can't be, but sure enough, the same guy that gave us our plates of fries and half classic burgers earlier was walking around with two plates full of those wonderful golden fried and full burgers.

"that's my name, but you gave us burgers and fried a good 20 minutes ago, and they were the wrong ones." we both wondered, did we get someone else's order originally or what?

long story short, we took home the two full burger baskets free of charge.
in the end, i'll recommend them because the classic burgers (half each) we did have were great and filling, the fries perfect (mcmenamins could take lessons) and beers and service excellent.

this was my 2nd location i've been to, and i had the same burger as i did in eugene. the barnyard! the consistency between locations was great! the burger was cooked perfectly and all the flavors went great together. the ham steak adds just enough width to the burger to make it borderline annoying, after a few bites i took it out. this location is smaller than the one in eugene but the vibe was the same. my only negative part was at both locations the music is just a little too loud, trying to carry a conversation across the table was difficult.
killer burger has become one of my top places for burgers, i'll bebackfor sure!

awesome burger, l mean what a killer burger and fries. eclectic choices plus some good ol standards.

music was loud, but great selections to rock and chew by. service was very good, too.

only downside us they're closed on sunday. but that is okay as family business and they need their time, too.

no shakes ....soda and beer. two tvs to watch the duck games! will bebackback. 4 out of 5.

incredible. hands down the best burger i have had. we have beenbackover an over and loved it every time. we have tried the fun guy, barnyard, and the one with blue cheese but the very best is the black molly in all it's juicy, drippy goodness. the fries are equally as good and to have it all with a blood shed red beer makes a damn good meal

love the atmosphere and food. i got the barnyard with an extra patty. pretty darn good. i definitely want to try the peanut butter bacon burger when i gobackthough. the staff was friendly. however, the name is rather ironic.
