killer burger sellwood

cool burger joint in portland.greatburgers and all of them come with bacon and thick fries! loud rock andgreatfood = i will be back!

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 thegreatbrews 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 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 weregreatand filling, the fries perfect (mcmenamins could take lessons) and beers and service excellent.

the name says it all..greatburger and fries, awesome service and real decent prices, especially if you go during "happy hour"

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 wentgreattogether. 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 be back for sure!

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 callgreator 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 as good or better by staying in your car, talking into a box and then driving up to the next window.

best place to get a burger in portland. the peanut butter pickle burger might sound a little odd, but is definitely one of the best tasting burgers you can get here. atmosphere is pretty chill, and i always getgreatservice here. i make it one of my regular places to eat.

reallygreatburgers and fries, with a so-so atmosphere. quick service, decent beer selection, creative burger choices. i'll go back, but maybe take out instead of sit in!
