killer burger sellwood

good but not overly impressive. 

a smallish place that has a very portland trendy feel. the burger wasn't extragoodin anyway. i wouldn't say no if someone asked me to go there but i wont seek this place out again.

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 came back with a card that wasgoodfor 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 agood20 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.

went to the sellwood location, first impression the music i liked, but the volume was so loud i had to shout just to  have a conversation with the person sitting next to me, even the fellow tending the till couldn't wanted it turned down but couldn't figure out how. the sanitation was not good. the wire and clips that are  under their menu  chalkboard are covered with dust and grease, the are just behind the till, it looks like a work station, it has napkins, straws forks and knives, however it was stacked full of employees personal item, hats, phones cigarettes a few small bags/ purses, looked more like your basic horizontal crap collector. now to the food, i'm sorry to say it's nothing what i would call great or killer. my daughter made the comment,  "it's really disappointing when you pay $10 or $12 for just a burger and you realize you could have gotten something asgoodor better by staying in your car, talking into a box and then driving up to the next window.

awesome burger, l mean what a killer burger and fries. eclectic choices plus somegoodol 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 be back back. 4 out of 5.

incredible. hands down the best burger i have had. we have been back over 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 asgoodand to have it all with a blood shed red beer makes a damngoodmeal

bust out of your shell and try the peanut butter bacon burger! fries aregoodandgoodbut small beer selection.

killer burger :*(. does not live up to its name. i was so looking forward to just agoodburger, but it really wasn't even that. could get a better tasting burger at mcdonalds. don't quite understand why everyone is flocking to this joint.

bacon on every burger!. what a treat killer burger is. they have a simple but creative menu in a really nice location. the burger was delicious as were the fries and all for a very reasonable price. if you're looking for agoodburger look no further.

oh so good!. if you are looking for agoodburger then this is your place. if you are looking for creative toppings, then it's a must try. i love that even with the over the top, creative toppings you can still taste the beef. today i tried the barnyard. that's one big burger for just $8.95.
the service is always great. not only were they extra friendly at the counter, but they also came out and checked on us.
