Frank Gallagher hot dog for Portland Mercury wiener week!
Stephanie S.

We came here for Portland Mercury's Weiner week to try their special hot dog. It did not disappoint. It was a smash burger with a hot dog on top!! It was covered with cheese, nacho cheese, grilled onions and smash burger sauce on top of a potato bun. The smash sauce is so tasty! We also tried the Cluck boi. It's basically a chicken finger on a squishy bun with delicious smash sauce and pickles. Perfect size for that in between lunch and dinner meal. The crinkle fries were ok, they needed salt and were a little dry. We ordered the nacho cheese which was not great. I wish I would have ordered the smash sauce to dip my fries in.

It's nice that this location is 5 mins from our new house. We got the Jr. Smashy, Smashy, & reg fries with a side of cheese sauce. The fries and cheese sauce were great! I'm glad I gave this location a try because I tried the other location and it wasn't my fave. But the fries today, from this location were so yummy and the cheese sauce made me very happy. :) Next time I think I'll try the Deluxe Boi. It's nice that this location is next to a Bar. Parking is a bit scarce but that's no fault of MCSB. Great idea to be next to a bar because that's a lot of visibility!

UPDATED REVIEW! We went back to Mid City Smash Burger and it's been excellent. Ian is an awesome chef and our family loved the burgers. I don't always like the overcooked smashed burger style if they are too well done. But Ian has been great at cooking em so they are still flavorful and juicy. Def check out Mid City Smash Burger!

Deluxie boi
Kadin H.

I got the deluxie boi and the burger patty itself had a great texture and taste. Fantastic crisp edges and bold flavor. It was complemented well by the condiments and extras- I especially liked how much crunch the pickle slices had. I'll definitely be back but hopefully next time there's parking. The lot it resides in is very small and is shared with Uptown Beer and I had to park at the business park across the street around late afternoon happy hour time.

The food is always so delicious, the pricing is amazing and the service is next level. I love that this place is so close to my house because it's one of my favorite spots. 10/10 would recommend!

This is a stunning burger…read more I have come here an embarrassing amount of times since moving back to Portland. The first time I came alone, just a little hungry and a lot broke. So I got the $6 little pleasure burger. A simple, single patty smash burger. It's everything a McDonald's burger wishes it could be - beefy and drippy, a squishy, slightly sweet bun, oozing hot grease without being heavy, lacy and crisp edges, and held together with the right amount of American cheese. It was the perfect amount for that day. Then I returned with my date. Twice. And he brought his coworkers for lunch because he liked it so much. I have had the western and the mushroom burger since, as well as the parm and chive waffle fries. They have nuggets and I'm inclined to believe they're great. The staff is great, it's a small team and they're all there every single day. They care about their product and your experience. The space is a simple counter, not good for large groups. It should be noted that even though their burgers would be great with a beer, they don't seem to have a liquor license! So don't expect an IPA with that shroom burger. Maybe someday!

The burger was delicious though given a choice, I recommend the mushroom Swiss. Service is always helpful and efficient.

The water is serve yourself which I actually prefer. There wasn't a ton of seating on the cashier level but there is more seating upstairs which we did not visit to take a look at. There's also plenty of seating outside and covered tent seating. It took about 12-15 minutes for the food to be served which was ideal. While we were waiting, one of the employees started sweeping a rug outside the kitchen but wasn't even making contact with the bristles and the rug? Must've been on that zaza I ordered the Morrison and tried the Steel this time around. I have to say, I'm going to ditch the chicken next time and go with the Steel!! I also tried the sellwood and I have to say, both are really tasty. Me and my wife wanted to try a new burger spot initially having already been here before but the lack of open options were lackluster so we chose to come to a spot where we knew would suffice!

I didn't expect to find good BBQ outside of the south, but this was a pleasant surprise!…read moreAnd honestly, it shouldn't come as a surprise because the food in Portland is some of the best in the country. IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ. Highly recommend you try this spot!

There is outside seating out front as well. The person who took our order was friendly and patient while the kids figured out what they wanted. I ordered the burnt ends sandwich which was super good. It's messy to eat and had really good flavor. My hubby ordered the brisket sandwich and he really liked it. We had 3 kids with us. One kid got just plain nachos (just cheese) and liked it. The other 2 got the pulled pork nachos and shared it and had some even left over. We all liked our meals and would eat there again when in the area.

I got the small Smasher without pickles and with grilled onions and split small fries with my sister. The burger came to the table with pickles but easy to remove on my own. The flavor of the burger was delicious after a long day of walking. The ingredients tasted very fresh. The fries were a good thickness and had a beer battered taste. I love that there's a ketchup bottle for you at the table. You can also grab ketchup packets and other sauces near the fountain drink station. The towel roll at the tables was great. Didn't have to get up and get napkins. The food arrived within 10 minutes of seating. Water cups are available. If you're feeling adventurous you can try the Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon burger. There's two restroom stalls. One of them needed to be cleaned but the employee at the counter was kind enough to warn me. Code is needed to enter the restrooms. There's a changing station, manual flush toilet, automatic towel dispenser, and changing station. The employees were chill and seemed to have a good relationship with each other. There's sports on one tv. The ambiance is a little intense with the music but I didn't notice it until I was done eating because the food was so good.
