My Son took me here (along with Uptown Beer next door) while singing MidCity as as having the best Smashburger in Portland. As I had no frame of reference, I went along, and found my burger (and fries) choice to be very fresh and flavorful. One other pleasant surprise was that David paid for it, while I hosted the drinks over at Uptown. The food came out hot and fairly quickly. Service was efficient (from the other side of the window) and of course Portland casual. Places like this are right up my alley. read more

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. read more

Tried Midcity Smashedburger and ordered the deluxie burger with fries. The burger was good overall, but I felt it was a little lacking in flavor compared to what I was expecting. That said, the fries were very tasty. My in-laws live in the area, so I'll be giving it another try in the future. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood read more

We stopped in for Portland Mercury's Wiener Week to try their "Frank Gallagher" creation, and it was a total hit! Inspired by the character from Shameless, this hot dog was a beast; it featured a seared coney wiener topped with a smash patty, grilled onions, American cheese, nacho cheese, and their incredible SmashSauce, all tucked into a toasted potato roll. It was a tasty, indulgent mash-up and definitely worth the trip. We also ordered the crinkle-cut fries with a side of nacho cheese; the fries were a good size and nice and crispy, though they did need a little extra salt. The nacho cheese was okay on its own; however, in hindsight, we should have grabbed an extra side of that SmashSauce instead! This location has a ton of outdoor seating and shares a great space with Uptown Beer Co., making it a perfect spot to hang out with a pint. We'd definitely stop in again for a bite if we're in the area! read more

I love the food it's only a little a food truck and their system is very efficient and convenient as there is also a pub literally right next to it so you can get a drink while you're there read more

I went here for for the first time for Portland hot dog week. Super good hot dog w a little snap to it and good flavor. It was wrapped in a smashburger patty, drizzled w cheese and sautéed onion in a hot dog bun. I also ordered a jr smashy boi, French fries and a root beer. Everything was rly good, very filling, not expensive, good flavor, quick to prepare, and friendly service. They're tucked in a brew co parking lot, so while I took mine home to eat, some ppl ate theirs at the outdoor picnic tables or took it inside the brew co. which seems like a nice option to have. When I got my food I had forgotten to order extra sauce/ranch on the side-- the guy gave me some on the house bc he said it was his birthday. Happy customer :) I will be back & recommending to others read more

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! read more

Midcity Smashedburger - Jr. Smashy, Smashy, Reg Fries w/Cheese sauce on the side. - Burgers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Wife and I did one smash and one nugget. Plus fries with cheese. We both were vomiting when we got home. Food poisoning Smash burger was a salt bomb with extra grease and the nuggets weee old oil. Fries were soft and missy with a sauce that left a lot to be desired. Then the best part was the vomiting at home after we left. Food poisoning Last time was 2023/2024 it was good. But today was beyond bad. Never going back. read more

Food cart situated away from busy roads and next to uptown brewery in scholls. You will get tasty smash burgers freshly made (try double patty) and cheese fries here. Taphouse nearby doesn't have food. So this is a good option if you want to try something there. read more

I went on a weekday lunch time and ordered the deluxe burger with fries and beer. They give you a beeper, so you are free to go inside while waiting for the burger. The beer token was for Binary Brewing beer only, but because there wasn't a lot of choice, he let me pick any draft beer (thanks Uptown!). The burger was just OK, nothing exceptional. If I'm hanging out at the Uptown Beer and wanted something to eat, I would not hesitate in ordering here. It's located right at their parking lot, so super convenient. But I definitely don't think it's the best burger in Portland nor would I go out of the way for it. The only thing that irks me is that the *lowest* tip option is 20% (the other is 25 & 30) for essentially self-serve food cart. read more

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! read more

These burgers were bussing!! One of the best smashed burgers I've had. We tried the Deluxe Boi and Sooner Boi which were both delicious. I preferred the sooner boi and my wife preferred the deluxe! Sooner was loaded with cheese, grilled onions, and their special sauce. They were pretty busy but it didn't take too long to get my to-go order. read more

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. read more

Ordered the Mr.James fries, a Deluxe Boi and a Sooner Boi. The prices are really good for the area and the type of food! I've never tried fries with sauce or cheese on them, always had plain ones before, but these fries are incredible! The burgers are amazing too, but the fries are my favorite because they're just so flavorful with the perfect amount of spiciness for even someone who doesn't like very spicy things! Thanks for being so affordable and making delicious food! read more

Anytime we are in the area we make it a point to stop here! The burgers, chicken sandwiches and the fries are delicious! The team is friendly and helpful! They are in the parking lot of Uptown Beer and give you a beeper so you can enjoy a beer while your food is prepped! A match made in heaven. read more

Long wait, burger tasted whack. Super thin patties, disgusting sauce. Wish we had gone to Burgerville but like to support small businesses. Lets just say, I miss Rough Draft, previous spot at this location. Will not be back . read more

While I can absolutely appreciate the food cart experience as much as any Portlander can, I find myself easily subtracting one star because the service was ehhh okay. I really hate to say that bc I'm sure the cook was trying his best! But I definitely did expect a "hello, how are you?" when I walked up the window... the two burgers and fries took 30 minutes (understandable), and the open seating was outside, covered. You also have the option to go inside and sit in the beer hall. I expected more. read more

I actually feel sorry for the other burger spots, because this IS THE BEST BURGER IN PORTLAND. I said what I said. I dream about this burger- I might be going through burger withdrawls as I type this. For six buckeroonies (ok but leave a tip, duh) you too can can enjoy a smashy boi- a crispy crunchy sandwich of perfection. But bring that extra allowance, because this bad boi is best accompanied with crinkle cut fries and smash sauce. I personally choose to wash it down with a brewski from uptown, but you do you boo. Service- amazing, friendly, they know what a goldmine they have. I heart you midcity. read more

Love the seasoned patties and Mr. James fries. Ordered the Smashy Boi and and the Deluxe Boi. read more

Midcity Smashedburger - Burgers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Solid smash burger in the smashy boi. Basic smash burger served hot and fresh and a fair price

Solid food cart attached to Uptown Beer co. Mainly smash burgers, good quality and strong flavor. The buns are cold and while I am not sure what to expect I felt like they should be a little toaster or something. Overall friendly, good service, solid burger and great fries. Give it a shot!! read more

Some things to consider about this place is that its next to a bar, so this is basically a burger and beer thing. I think this a good place to base the standard of smash burgers on. Its not amazing, its not bad. If a burger is worst than this, its bad. If its better, its good ? does that makes sense ? Its perfectly vanilla. I dont think its possible to be disappointed and there is true value to that in consistency. read more

I was very sad to see sure shot burgers food truck leave this area. It was replaced by a chicken wing truck that didn't do anything for me. Got very excited to hear another smash burger place was coming in (can't figure out their name, signs say midcity smashedburger, website just says SmashBurger) anyways, burger was great! Fries were great. Perfect meal with a beer. I'm surprised how little amount of people were there at Noon, Friday. Hidden gem. read more

I would give a 4.5 for the burgers, but the chicken burger was amazing!! Excellent crunch, juicy chicken, and the sauce went perfectly on it. The burgers were very good, with crispy edges. I would definitely go again. read more

Was SO excited to try this place. Went on New Year's Day with just 3 people in line in front of us and waited 40 MINUTES (luckily with a good cider from inside...but STILL too long) only to get two NOT HOT (how???) burgers. Friendly staff but wow guys, you've gotta figure out how to speed things up. I can't imagine trying this place when crowded. It was good, but fresh, hot and gooey would have made it truly great. Will try some more smashed burger places and see if we can do better. read more

I thought about getting the fish but my daughter "It's a BURGER place!" - talked me into trying the burger, and I'm glad I did. This is a food truck, so how much ambiance can be had with a food truck? I can say that it was clean and looked nice, for a food truck. I got the regular smash burger with bacon and it was pretty terrific. This, coming from someone who isn't a big burger fan. The server/cook was nice and helpful. I also got the smashy fries with nacho cheese and smash sauce on it-yummy! I think I do want to try the fish one next time, though. I love a good fish sandwich. read more

Delicious and pretty cheap. I recommend both the Clucky Boi and the Smashy Boi. Fries are tasty and they have loots of ketchup packets available. I will be returning here. read more

At the Uptown Beer, so yummy! Deluxe Boi Burger is perfect size not too big or too small. Mr James style fries Happy to have this in the SW hood! read more

Decent cheeseburger and slightly above average. They should not have overhyped it. That's unfortunate. It was a little over $30 for two cheeseburgers, fries and Pepsi's. It was a little pricey. read more

Staff was rude. Burger was decent. The guy working there failed to mention it would to 40 minutes to get a burger and fries. If you go don't tip until you've gotten your food if you come here read more

The burger was great! The fries were meh. Very friendly staff and pretty quick service.

What you would expect from a smash burger joint. Great tasting burgers cooked to order and good fries. My wife and son tried the Clucky Boi chicken sandwich and were happy with it. It's a small trailer next to a pub, not a sit-in restaurant. They give you a pager so you can sit in the pub or your car instead of standing in the weather while you wait for your food. read more

6pm on a Saturday, with an open sign on, and it was closed. Somebody was in the truck but was not taking orders. Not coming back here again.

Great Burger, quick and friendly service. If you are looking for a good old fashion Smashburger this is your place. Give this place a shot you will not be disappointed. read more

Amazing burger!! The guy at the front was so nice and they have a cute bottle shop to chill in and play games!

Really enjoyed the burger. Cooked wonderfully, nice crusty char on it. Buns were good. Will definitely visit again. I have my list of favorites, always trying to find a good old-school burger. Midcity just made my top 5 favorites. read more

This has become my go-to for smash burgers! We are hooked now and probably come here at least 1-2 times per week. When the previous burger cart left, I found my self driving to MCB on the east side... Needless to say, I was super stoked when they opened up just down from my house. Uptown beer is also an awesome spot, great to grab a beer while waiting for my Smashy Boi's! Bonus points for offering the "bag o burgers" special!! read more

Cheap and delicious! The shakes are amazing and the staff was super friendly also. Definitely will be coming back.
