Hands down the best smash burger in town, I've been gong since the food cart days at The Podski, and the quality is still undefeated. The 'OG' double has those perfect crispy, lacy edges that you can never quite get at home. Simple, no-nonsense, and fairly priced compared to everywhere else in Bend right now. Pro tip: Don't skip the loaded fries. read more

Look. I've eaten burgers in a lot of places. Airports. Gas stations. One time outside a golf course that didn't even technically sell burgers. But this place in Bend... this is serious burger territory. First thing you notice: they're not messing around with the menu. Just burgers that understand what a burger is supposed to be. Double patty. Brioche bun. Cheese doing its job. America. I ordered The O.G. because I respect tradition. American cheese, caramelized onions, burger sauce. Simple system. Works great. Like a pickup truck that starts every time. My buddy got The Popper which is basically what happens when a jalapeño popper and a burger start collaborating. Bacon, jalapeño cream cheese, ranch. It looked like something a scientist made to test the limits of happiness. Fries were solid. Soda cold. No weird nonsense. Just burgers doing burger things. Only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because if I lived closer I would probably eat here too often and that feels medically irresponsible. I'd give it 6 stars if Yelp understood burgers better. read more

So if you're like me and get a little overwhelmed driving in new places, be aware that The Podski (food truck park) is on a one way street. I went the wrong way and magically didn't get into a car accident AND no one yelled at me AND I U-turned into a parking spot The Podski is super cute. Multicolored tables, ample seating. So many options. We chose Americana for the reasonably priced burgers with the option for a gluten free bun. And I was impressed with that bun! Great texture and it didn't fall apart. My kids got kid burgers and the 3 of us split one order of fries and we all left satisfied. Loved the rich cheesy flavor and the crispy edges of the patties. And the fries had a nice texture and saltiness. read more

Americana - 3 OG burgers and 2 small fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

The smash burger seems pretty trendy these days and I have had 2 in the Bend area and more in California where I am from. I can say with confidence, that these guys make the best smash burger I have ever eaten! For an incredible $8 you get the OG and it is awe inspiring! The crunchy edges of the patty seem almost impossible. It's like a snowflake of beef with yum, and bam, and holy crap this is so good! But wait! There is American cheese flowing through the cracks in this patty along with the fry sauce, that make the whole experience a sauced and gooey delight that everyone should experience! Oh ya there's killer bread and lettuce! Although podski has a bunch of awesome options, do yourself a favor and have a smash burger, they are a culinary work of art! read more

Americana - The OG - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I don't like burgers. Until today. Glorious bacon, heavily buttered bun, cheese, BBQ sauce with some fried onions? Don't threaten me with a good time. I didn't breathe between bites--I simply inhaled the deliciousness. It's been 8 hrs and I am still thinking about this burger. Probably will still be thinking about it tomorrow too. The only thing that I would improve on is that I am not sure if the fries are made in house. They seemed pre frozen and flash fried. They still tasted good though. read more

Great place for a smashburger. It's casual and an easy place to get a great burger and fries. You order at the front and then they seat you. There is a long set up of bar seating and a handful of booths and we've always been able to get a seat pretty much right after we order. The burger is awesome, always a go to when the craving hits! For me what sets this place apart is the fries, always crispy and perfectly salted. Recommend for a casual family dinner or as a first spot on a more casual date night. read more

I was visiting Bend, Oregon and wanted to get a nice burger, but very few restaurants in Bend serve American cheese, which is the only cheese that is good on a burger :0 I went towards downtown and found a little food truck area where Americana was serving excellent burgers for a decent price, and they have American cheese! It was delicious and service was great so next time I'm in Bend I will be definitely hitting them up. read more

A darn good smash. Proper crispy edges, soft bun, tangy sauce...the right amount of grease. Large portion with the fries which were cooked well. This truck is in a small but mighty pod with a decent amount of seating and street parking, but in a busy area. Service was friendly, definitely recommend if you love a good smash. read more

While visiting Bend, we quickly realized food trucks dominated the food scene. Americana didn't disappoint! Fantastic burgers and fries, in a really cute food truck pod. read more

The patty was extremely crispy on the edges but still juicy and meaty in the middle, and I really enjoyed the sauce and lettuce. Buns were pretty great too. The fries were crispy and had an amazing salty and sort of sweet seasoning. Overall one of my best burger experiences ever. read more

The absolute best smash burger in America. No BS, I've eaten a metric ton of smash burgers and this one is by far the absolute best.

Smashing! Spectacular! Amazing. Wow. The BEST smash burger I've ever had anywhere. Our son brought us here, saying it's his favorite burger in town. He's right. It's the best. And I totally 100% agree with all of the other accolades by the Yelpers on their reviews. Our whole family ordered a burger. The OG burger is perfectly seasoned and prepared! It's a collection of great ingredients that result in a crispy-edged smashed cheesy burger that is a delight with every bite. Really. The flavors are amazing. Love the $8 price too! Fries are fine, but the burger is the star of the show. (My only dish would be to have the option of fresh sliced onions as opposed to the grilled onions.) Service was fairly quick on a busy Friday night. And the ambiance of having a warm place to eat in the outdoor tent was welcomed on a cold rainy Bend night. We need Americana in our home town. It would be a hit. We'll come every time we're in town. And I know I'll be craving it a lot when we're not here. read more

Americana - Best smashed burger ever, ever! - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Now.., this right here ranks 2nd on my all-time smash burger list. The first bite I took I was like damn Shawty! They understand what seasoning is. Not only do they understand, but they've obviously mastered it because it has the perfect blend of flavor . This is definitely the best burger in Bend no doubt . I actually went to another burger joint today and had a smash burger and it wasn't bad but this is what you call excellent. Proud of this cart fr. 10/10. Would comeback. It's popular so prepare for the wait... But it is definitely worth it and go ahead and save yourself the time and get to because you will want one for later . --- In fact guys, how about sponsor me? read more

Oh boy! Oh boy! You know what this place does? They make smash burgers. You know what they are? DAMN good! Wholly smolly they are good. They have set the bar. I've had smash burgers before but nothing like this culinary piece of perfection. The front area gets kinda crowded but the service was friendly and the food came out fast. Price is cheap, food is fast and excellent. YUM . Can't wait to go back. Great addition to the Bend food scene. read more

Looking for a great burger place in bend, this is decent. Burger was pretty good, but not great. Reading reviews, I was really looking forward to a great burger and had an ok burger. It was a pretty slow night and it took about 15 min to get my burger. A bit slower than I was thinking it should take. Folks were friendly enough. read more

ChatGPT, in conjunction with Reddit, recommended this place for a burger and it did not disappoint. If In N Out did smash burgers I imagine it'd be a little something like Americana. Burger was very tasty and the fries were seasoned perfectly! It was also great to be able to check out some of the other places in the pod and to grab a drink. Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a solid burger option in Bend! read more

After living in Bend for a while and being told over and over to try Americana I finally gave it a try today, and all I can say is I'm mad I didn't try it sooner. The Burgers were extremely thin patties with a perfectly crispy edge that almost melts in your mouth. They also put the perfect amount of lettuce, American cheese and caramelized onions to top it off.. a prototypical all American burger... nothing flashy, just a great price and amazing flavor. This will 10000 % be the new go to spot for burgers in Bend for me and the fam. Something important to add here too. As most Bend residents know, it's hard to find a meal that is both good and affordable in this town, you really have to search. Recently we have seen many of our favorite food trucks and restaurants raise their prices 15-25% over night, making it really hard to continue to be a loyal customer... not Americana though. Their burgers are $8 and from what they say they will remain that way at their new brick and mortar opening soon.. I hope that's the case and wish them nothing but success, looking forward to be a repeat customer here. read more

Delicious! I'm not normally a fan of smash burgers, but these were yummy!! I got the OG with GF bun. Fairly priced and tasted good. Fast and friendly service. read more

Most delicious burger Ive ever had!! Who thought to put goat cheese on a burger?? Love it!! The loaded fries were tasty too. Definitely check this place out if you're in bend read more

All in all, this was a really good burger. This is a smashburger so that means you aren't going to get to cook the burger meat to your specifications, but rest assured, it's still fairly tasty. The addition of caramelized onions adds a little bit of a smoky component, and I've always had a preference for brioche bun hamburgers. The secret sauce is indeed secret, but it added another layer to the burger. Add into the experience that you are right next to a number of drinking establishments, other food trucks, and a nice outdoor space that is super dog and kid friendly. You will have to wait a bit as Americana appears to be the most popular option in its current space, but I would say go for it. Overall, I'd order this again if I were in Bend. read more

Enjoyed a delicious burger here but I am unlikely to return. Why? The only flavor of milkshake they offer is vanilla! Is it a big deal? To me it is. How big a deal is it to add some good chocolate sauce to the shake you are mixing? Small things matter. Add chocolate shakes and you will see me again. read more

Great smash burgers, great value. Long lines for didn't have to wait long. 10/10 would go again

Best burger I've had in Bend in memory. Will return for more. Price was reasonable and the flavor was top tier.

Like FR. Best high quality burger. I particularly love the goat burger so much! It is very rich and flavourful. Tbh any burger is lit AF read more

I can't say much about this other than it was a most excellent burger. The double thin patties with double cheese make it quite cheesy and flavorful. A little salty, but that just makes the beer taste better... Next time I would double up on the meat and split it with the hubby, yess that would make it a quad. So good. read more

I've visited Bend three times in the last four months for work. I stay in a nearby hotel. The first two times, I caught them when they were closed. Third time was the charm! Wow! Worth the wait! The smash burger was awesome and the fries put any fast food place to shame. They were hot and perfectly salted. My meal, to include adding bacon for $2, was $15. In this day and age, that's pretty impressive. read more

Excited to finally try this burger! It definitely lived up to the hype. The patties are very thin, but cooked really well. Everything on the sandwich, from the patties to the cheese to the lettuce and sauce is in prefect balance. I also love that the bun is slightly toasted. All around, they're doing a really nice job on their OG Smashburger. read more

Best smash burger in Bend. Yummy, and a very good deal. Went to the newer shop on Bond with buddies. Owner super nice, highly recommended.

Hands down the best smash burger and burger in town. Great deal for the price..I try not to do cheese so I like to get the BBQ burger without it to get some extra flavor. The OG is also amazing. Their fries aren't the best in town but the great thing is you can get just a burger for $8 without the fries which is a great deal for the quality! read more

Got some of the OG burgers and a side of fries. Food came out fast on a Wednesday at 6. Classic smash burger with their burger sauce and caramelised onions. Decent fries, my second favorite burger in town after Hawk & Huck (only my second burger I've had in town). read more

Americana is a food truck currently operating at Spider City Brewing on 9th. Prior to that, the truck served Bridge 99 Brewery in the Empire district. It's a small truck and the menu is limited, with burgers and grilled cheese the mainstays. No fries, no tots. When I hit them up, a chili cheeseburger was on special and tomato soup was available. - OG Americana burger: really good double-patty burger in contention for Best in Bend. The meat is well seasoned, well prepared and very tasty. Despite being a double, it's not a big burger, so if you're trying to make a meal, you might want two burgers or maybe some soup. Reasonable prices. $8 for the OG Americana burger. read more

Had the OG burger on recommendation from my son. Home run burger for a fair price. Can tell excellent materials used in the make as lettuce, tomatoes and onion on point. None took away from the burger and cheese and each bite was a joy. Bun did its job in texture and in not falling apart. Lastly, friendly service, quick delivery and pod a nice place to enjoy the meal. Well done! read more

This truck is legit! The food is fresh, came out fast and the guy was friendly. I'm always concerned about smash burgers being dry but that's NOT the case. It had the perfect juiciness and very tasty. This would definitely be my go-to if I lived here. read more
