Where do you go to get your favorite hamburger in Salem? There aren't many good local choices. We don't even have a Burgerville. My favorite is The Ram, otherwise I'd rather stay home and barbecue. The burger in the picture is an Angus burger from Carl's Jr. It was pretty bad.(be sure to check out the comments below for the latest thoughts on the best burger in Salem . . . )
I'm not a huge burger fan.. And I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that the new McCruncher is pretty darn good..
ReplyDeleteCheese, bacon, bbq sauce and those crunchy onions that you would put on green bean casserole.. pretty darm good for McD's
I guess Red Robins has decent burgers..
The Burger Basket on Mission st.. is not very good.. I've been there a couple of times and never seemed to get a good meal..
yeah stay away from burger basket unless you want the go gos
ReplyDeleteI'm new to this site, so forgive me if I've missed a review of my favorite burger place, but if I'm hankering for a great grilled burger (toasted sesame seed bun, cheese that's actually melted), I head to Court St. Dairy Lunch.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's true that sometimes Burger Basket isn't very good, there are also times when it's very delicious!! I don't know what makes the difference...maybe they have different cooks.
ReplyDeleteCourt St. Dairy Lunch, best burger.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to make a point of going to Dairy Lunch.
ReplyDeleteWe like the burgers at Thompson's . . . and the fries aren't bad either. :>)
Dairy lunch is next on the list for hamburgers.
ReplyDeletethe stonefront is the best!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI say head to Court St. Dairy Lunch. Best burgers in town and homemade frenchfries also.
ReplyDeleteCourt St. Dairy Luch, Best Ranch Burger and Fries downtown
ReplyDeletegotta go try Court St.Dairy Lunch They have the best burgers and homemade fries in town. Good chicken sandwich also Don't foeget their shakes yummy.
ReplyDeleteStonefront...stonefront...stonefront!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I can't say much for their beer, The Ram has fine burgers, with especially nice buns.
ReplyDeleteA Great American hamburger at a Mexican restaurant-Yes it does happen! Try Los Arco Mexican Restaurant on South Commercial!!
ReplyDeleteCourt St. Dairy Lunch has got to have best burgers in town not to mention there yummy home made fries
ReplyDeleteTry the Willamette Valley Grille in the Red Lion Hotel on Market and Hawthorne: they have exceptional hamburgers. If you go there for happy hour, they have very inexpensive and delicious food as well. Also a very nice atmosphere and way better service than Thompson's or Boon's Treasury.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try Court St. Dairy Lunch; it sounds like a lot of people enjoy their burgers!
I havent been to Cort St. Dariy Lunch, but if you want a great burger on a fresh bun with local and homemade..well everything! Go checkout the Willamette Burger Company!!The best burger I've had anywhere!!
ReplyDeleteBurger Basket is my favorite. Get the grilled onions. Wish it wasn't out on Mission. Not a great location for me, but the burgers and fries are excellent.
ReplyDeleteCasey's is pretty good.
Burger Basket rules!
ReplyDeleteNo. Possible. Way.
ReplyDeleteThe Willamette Burger Company has no peer in the Willamette Valley. Claim jumper’s (In Tualatin) Widow Maker is also very good. I can't imagine anybody being disappointed at either place.
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to La Capitale's burgers.... made with local McK Ranch beef and tasty additions like fried eggs or a slab of brie cheese. They're always cooked just how we order and they're so juicy and flavorful! Also the fries are the best!
ReplyDeleteI have two places I like to go for a really good burger and that is Willamette Burger Company or The Ram. We use to like the Burger Basket but lately they just haven't been that good.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone had five guys? Duh it rules!
ReplyDeleteAnon, Here are my impressions of Five Guys from a visit in early June:
ReplyDeleteThis is the new reining king of fast food burger places in Salem! I hung back briefly to observe how the other patrons were behaving and what they were having. I had been previously warned about the portion sizes. The fries looked wonderful but the counter lady said the regular order usually fed about three people. I decided to have a companion with me to try them. I ordered a small cheese burger with the works. ($4.09) It was fantastic. I arrived about 11:30 AM and the place was jumpin '. They had 14 people working and they were all busy. By the time I left there was a line out the door! The free peanuts are a great idea, but they were about grade 4, very dusty and low quality. Almost culls. I'm anxious to come back with my wife or a friend and attack the fries.
Just had a burger at Cinebarre last night and it was great! Plus they have fresh, hand-cut fries that were very tasty too. If you don't want to watch a movie while you eat they have a large open lobby (free wi-fi too!) you can eat in.
ReplyDeleteIf you like burgers and fries, you need to check it out.
Had lunch at Court St. Dairy Lunch, It is as good as they say,very yummy hamburgers and fresh cut fries, oh yeah don't forget the best shake ever
