You know that bar burger that all the locals no about? Where they put way too much effort into it? Homemade patties, options like grilled onions or mushrooms, the fries or onion rings are cooked just right, the fry sauce is homemade with just a touch of vinegar, and they cook it all fresh to order for you. Just that burger that even if you are not having a drink you stop in for cause it's better then anything fast food or homemade will do and the prices are good? Take away the bar part, make it a little out of the way drive thru shack that you'll miss if you don't know it's there, and you have Dandy Burger. Everything here is delicious. They make sure to use the right kind of bread if you order something besides a burger, like their Patty Melt which is just mouth watering when you smell it cooking. They are the friendliest people to. Their hours are short, but that makes it even more special because you have to get there before hours close or your stick with no other good burger option until the next day, and no one gives you so many fries that you'll never finish them like Dandy. If you don't have time when they are open, make time. If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your days. read more

First time at Dandy burger. It was amazing. Double cheeseburger was excellent. I see why it's so busy. Definitely coming back. read more

This place has to be the best (non-chain) burger in the valley!! Drive-thru only and prepared fresh while you wait (so you will wait for a minute) but totally worth it!! the buns are light and airy, the meat is cooked perfectly.... and the ingredients are fresh! It's such a good bite! save yourself a little moolah and order ONE order of fries because it's enough to feed 2-3 people! my only complaint is their not open every time i want them to be. I get that the hours are catered toward lunch.....it makes sense in the area they're in..... but sometimes i want Dandy burger at 8pm!! Regardless, I will continue to get these when i can! they're great!! read more

One of the best burgers in town. It is a take out place. It is owned by a single mother or that is what I think. Closed on week end as think that is mother time or that what I think. read more

I've made a few trips to Dallas from Monmouth just for Dandy Burger. I really love their pastrami burgers. I can wholeheartedly recommend their onion rings. Good food. Hours are a little limited, but it is worth it to head over and give them a try. read more

Absolutely worth the drive from Salem, though the GPS is a bit wacky and we passed it while looking on the opposite side of the street. Once located, we chose one of the two drive through sides and ordered a cheeseburger combo and a double cheeseburger, drink, and order of onion rings. The menu features both a small and large, and I'm glad I asked about the size. Small was plenty enough for two to share with a lot left over. Likewise, the combo includes a bag full of crinkle cut fries, both served with a fry sauce - so if you prefer ketchup, you should ask for it. They also have fresh made shakes with ice cream, milk, and flavors, but didn't receive their delivery and were unable to accommodate orders. There were benches in a grassy area next to the stand, but no table. We drove to the nearest park in hopes of finding a picnic table, but ran into the same issue at the city 'park' in front of the courthouse. Both burgers were juicy, with cheddar (from multiple choices available) and loaded with toppings on a soft bun. I prefer a leaf lettuce and got several chunks of yellowing lettuce from a bagged salad type, but overall, it didn't detract. Onion rings were piping hot and perfectly crisp, as were the fries. If you've got a hankering for a burgers, there's a reason this place has been around so long. They'll fix you up and keep you coming back. We're already planning a trip back for a shake having experienced the love they infused into the burgers! read more

See all

Great food great people well worth any wait there might be super variety of food and so far everything has been great

The food and service is outstanding. They are very kind of hospitable. They are locally-owned by two different families and only 2 ladies work there, but they do an amazing job! The food is delicious and the serving sizes are more than adequate. The quality of the hamburgers and the fries is exceptional! read more

The food is fantastic, and the prices are more than fair!!! Mary and her crew do a great job!! Some people like to complain about her hours and claim that "they are never open", etc. but that is simply not true. This is a Monday-Friday lunch place---nothing more and nothing less! We are grateful to have this place in Dallas and will continue to visit at least every other week. read more

BEST ONION RINGS EVER! Burgers are also amazing and the fries. This place is amazing and Id give it 5 stars every time I go

The food was outstanding! Everything was hot and very fresh! And the French Fry's! I can't say enough about the French Fry's! Crinkle cut, and hot enough to burn you! read more

Food is always delicious and hot, worth the wait the shakes are Amazing service is spot on so glad we have this gem in our lovely town always delicious can't express it enough! read more

Dandy Burger - A cheese burger with grilled onions and a fired egg - American Near Me - Dallas, Oregon

This place is nearby and I will often drive by it. It's hit or miss if it is open so if we are going to get take out food from here we normally have a back up plan if they are closed. I understand it when it was over 115 degrees but there is never any explanation just not open on the days and times that are posted. It is always closed Sunday. This is a cash only business, which I understand is better than paying three percent or more for a Visa/Mastercard, however, a lot of people don't carry cash any more. I just make sure I have some on hand if I plan on going here. That said, the burgers, fries, shakes are well worth it. This place is normally staffed with one person so it takes a bit for the food to come up but it is always worth it. The food isn't inexpensive but the quality of it is vastly superior to your Burger Kings, etc. I'll definitely be back to give this a try again. read more

Best burgers I ever had next to Maui burgers .co out of the 100's + places I have tried. Seriously go try it.

Cheeseburger, the best burgers in Dallas are at this drive thru joint .. Best fries too, can never eat them all in one sitting... read more

Fresh food and fry sauce without asking. You can tell service is important to this place. Great burgers.

Dandy burger is bomb.com and super friendly, I tried the double bacon burger and the pastrami burger definitely a must try!

This is the best burger in Oregon and it's not even close. The burgers and fries are made fresh to order, and the ranch is made in house. The owner is very friendly and I think it had changed ownership a couple years ago so don't let the bad reviews from years ago stop you from trying this place out, it's exceptional. read more

I've wanted to try this place for a long time, but I don't go to Dallas much since the Pressed Coffee Roasters Cafe closed, and this venue is easily slammed. There can be one car at one window and two at the other and, if so, you will have a long wait. The burger is big; I had a hard time to finish it. It is served in an aluminized wrapper that is stiff enough to catch crumbs and grease drips and in dress clothes I appreciate that. The portion of crinkle fries is so generous it made three meals for me! They are fried in fresh oil at the right temperature and come lightly salted. I felt no need for catsup or the fry sauce provided. This is exactly the type of business I like to see spring up in small towns. Next trip, I'll try to get pictures of the (rather extensive) menu, and maybe try their halibut and fries. Can't remember if I saw outside seating; I'd recommend eating in your car or maybe driving to the lovely city park which is ten minutes away. read more

Best Burgers in town, Great food and five Star Service I Highly recommend the Buffalo Burger the fries OMG you get a bunch of the and fried to Perfection Stop by y'all Mary is an Awesome Cook and she's the Oner. read more

Our favorite is the grilled ham and cheese. The fries are the best! They know our order when we pull in. she just needs to check how many are in the car lol. I highly recommend this place! great food! great customer service! read more

Good freshly made food and friendly service. Cheeseburgers had all the trimmings with toasted buns. Fries were crinkle cut and plentiful. Only downside was the wait as we picked a busy time to arrive and one worker was holding down the fort by herself. It's a drivethru, but there are some tables out back to eat at Will definitely be back! read more

Ok, unfortunately the girl taking orders and handling the food was not wearing a mask, I mean c'mon. I was really wanting a burger and fries but went somewhere that is following covid guidelines instead. read more

Great food. Large amount. Worth the price. Fresh. Needs to be open more often though.

The BEST burgers in town!! Don't let the occasional bad review stop you.. they're amazing!!

I love this place I try and go to this place every so often it's an amazing place great burgers

Best burgers around! And those fries??? Don't forget the fry sauce either, it's slightly Smokey and oh so good!

Dandy burger is one of my favorite places to eat in town, they serve Great food with Large portions, they are a local family owned business .I typically order a double cheeseburger meal and it's absolutely the best burger I've ever eaten. Today I tried the Philly cheese stake combo meal and it was outstanding. I recommend this place to anyone looking for Great Local food . read more

By far the best burgers in town. Anyone complaining about the wait time or the fact that he only takes cash has little to no patience or has simply not eaten the food. Every time I have gone here, the wait has been about 5 minutes, 10-13 minutes if there is another car. But it is one person taking the orders and making the food. To me, the food is worth the wait and he always gives you a half bags worth of fries with the burgers. Which is always a plus! read more

I would pick ZERO stars. RUDE DUDE!!!!! ! Stopped finally at a little burger place been wanting to try, cash only, fine by me, I was the only customer, , but I said hi to the guy twice, then again, dead pan stare, then he says "what do you want?" I said "I just said hi to you three times, and you won't respond????" I really should have just lefthe then, regrets on giving him any $.then I get told he charges for ANY CONDIMENTS, so I just got it plain w cheese, I've got packets of ketchup and mustard.... ¿ Onion rings are good, but scared to try burger (onion rings would get that cooked off (they were crispy, no spit visible!) Burger looks just like mcdee's, except white cheese. But not willing to try it out, don't need any hepatitis. NEVER AGAIN. I do customer service and have never treated anyone like that, and pretty sure he's the owner. Grrr. read more

Never open when they claim they are. No one ever answers their phone listed on the sign either. Gave this place way too many chances and they've just failed our family and friends far too many times. We're done. This place is a joke. Surprised they haven't shut down yet. read more

Went back again and had a pastrami burger with fries..Owner was very nice, but he has no idea about social media. The food was nice $7.50 or so. Only wish to eat not in car..give it a try read more

Ordered a couple of burgers, got them. Figured they would have tomato, onion, something... nope. There was no discussion, and I guess he figured we knew what we were getting. Guess ya gotta be specific. Vibes seemed "off" and I felt like he just isn't happy there. If it's because of poor business, he may do well by hiring some smiley college students (think In-n-Out) to draw 'em in. I will try again, and try these epic fries I am hearing about. I do really love supporting locals! read more

Local Dallas native making burgers and fries the old fashioned way. Great food! Drive thru only made fresh, worth the wait! read more

Dandy Burger - the front of the restaurant - American Near Me - Dallas, Oregon

Good burger, liberally but not sloppily dressed with fresh ingredients. Thought price difference for curly fries was a lot until I saw the giant portion! Very friendly customer service, (a young lady). Next time I would order reg fries without the seasoning salt and ketchup instead of fry sauce, just from personal pref. Could easily give five stars for what it is, a simple, good quality burger, but have to leave space for some game-changer out there. Glad to support local business too, and with all the fears about cashless society I actually kind of like a cash only place these days haha. read more

This may be a bit long, but you should probably read it if you are seriously considering going here. This place is complete trash. By far the worst customer service I've ever had, anywhere, in my entire life. And no, this is not hyperbole. I've never written a review, good, bad or otherwise, but I feel people need to know about this business. This won't be the only place I will be posting this as people need to know how customers are treated here. So, I've been there three times since they've opened. First two times they messed up the order. Not just a little mess-up like they forgot to put a condiment on my burger. No, more like they completely disregarded my order and gave me what they wanted to. That being said, I decided to give them one last shot today, you know, to support local businesses and all that... big mistake. I pull up and have to wait about three minutes before a surly dude completely bundled up comes to the window, slams it opened, looking perturbed that I was interrupting whatever the heck he was doing back there. There are no other customers there at the time. This is the dialog between him and me. Me: "Hey, I'd like to get the one burger meal thing". Surly Dude: "Yeah, turn off your engine". Now he didn't ask in a polite way. Keep in mind this dude is completely bundled up in a heavy shirt, and a coat. It's also raining sideways. Anyway, annoyed by his attitude I complied and I turn off the engine. Me: "Yeah I guess I'll freeze, anyway I'd like to get the.." He cuts me off. Surly Dude: "Really? You're gonna exaggerate like that?" Again, this guy is bundled up, clearly freezing his ass off as well. Me: "Yeah... I guess so. Anyway I'd like..." He cuts me off again. Surly Dude: "You think I want to smell your fucking exhaust?" To which he points at a sign, which is far below my line of sight. It is not anywhere near the menu, which is where a customer's eyes would be focused on when pulling up. At any rate, I assume it says turn off your car or something; I really didn't look at it as I was so taken aback by this guys comments. At this point I was ready to leave; there is no way would I let a guy like this prepare food for me, or anyone I know for that matter. I started to put on my seat belt, and he says... Seriously, he actually says this. Surly Guy: "Get the fuck out of here, we don't need dumbass people like you around here". I look at this dude and say. "Is this how you really conduct business here?" I start driving away, hearing the guy spout of more expletives about my intelligence among other things. In regards to turning off the engine. 1. It's not like the window doesn't close. I know it does, it was closed when I got there. 2. It's not like he was going to keep it open so he could "smell my fucking exhaust" as he so eloquently put it. Also, its brand new vehicle, emissions are extremely low. 3. Had he asked me nicely I would have gladly turned it off. My retort was purely based on this guy's tone of voice. Also, it's cold out. Freezing? No, but not pleasant by any means. 4. Finally, I am 40 years old, and I have never in my entire life of going through any drive- through, fast food, bank, etc, have been asked to turn off my engine. Maybe this is common, I don't know, but in my experience it has not been. This is the single most unprofessional business I have ever been to. Dropping an F-Bomb to a customer, then insulting them in the same breath is unfathomable. How on Earth are they still in business? Scanning over reviews elsewhere this guy's attitude is constantly being brought up. I am also part of a local business here in Dallas, if we ever spoke to a customer in this way we would be out of business so fast we wouldn't know what hit us, and rightly so. Stay away from this place. Food is mediocre, if they even get your order correct, and service is beyond horrible. Only reason they get one star is because you can't give a 0. read more

Loved this burger! Everything went together perfectly...perfect amount of tomatoe and lettuce and cheese for the patty size (I had the #2/single)...and the bun was nice and fresh and held up to the juicy burger perfectly. And I was skeptical about the fries when I saw they were crinkle cut but they were really good!!!! Overall, we were super happy with Dandy Burger. This is our new go to place when we are having a hankering for a good old homestyle burger... read more

Good Burgers, Horrible customer service. I drive through this road Mon-Fri today I got off work earlier than usual and I was actually excited to finally try this place. I'm usually the type of guy that doesn't care much about service but his attitude was a total mood killer, I decided to give it a shot regardless. Food was decent and fresh, however I probably won't come back read more

I went back during main lunch hours 11-2 and it was very good, it was a fresh grilled patty and all ingredients were fresh! Very good! I'll go back! read more

Food isn't too bad, decent messy burger, large portion of fries. The service is the killer. Dude needs a personality or something. Just rude really. Maybe it was a bad day or something. I'll give it another try down the road, but my experience is, especially in a small town, treat your customers right and that goes a long long ways! My rating would be closer to a 4 if it weren't for the poor service. read more
