Jala-Moo-ya burger OMG!! One of the best ever! I was worried it might be too fiery hot. Not to worry the amazing waitress said. It is a great combo of hot, sweet and spicy. It was the perfect combo. Together with the Cajun fries, I'm hooked. If you are looking for a GREAT burger in Gresham, look no further than The Local Cow. read more

Quite good. I remember eating here for the first time around 2016 and have always wanted to go back. I got the Pendleton burger, it was as good as I remember, I got tons of fries along with it which was great. It was around 16 dollars, but it's a 2 dollar up charge for fries......yes, they charge you extra for fries....at a burger place...they default to potato chips (cheaper for them). I don't care what your "reasoning" is, charging extra for fries at a burger place is pathetic. In terms of service, can't comment too much since I got takeout, but the women there seemed nice and the place was fairly clean, I couldn't make out any dirty areas. They have a few tables outside, on a nice summer day it would be a nice place for lunch. Parking. There's no real parking for this areas since it's in busy street, so you'll have to park a block or two away most of the time, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's a good place and if I happen to find myself in the area, wanting a burger, I don't see why I wouldn't go there again. read more

Spectacular gastronomy located in this hidden gem of a place. I can truly say that this is the best burger I have had and I have had burgers across the USA. The combinations of flavors are out of this world. The fresh ingredients that the chefs whip up into an edible master piece in that tiny kitchen with 2 griddles, rivals any 5-star Michelin rated restaurant. The concoction of flavors blows your taste buds into a frenzy of flavors that could only be described as a nirvana. I was a bit skeptical when I ordered the Jala-Moo-Ya burger. Well, I was definitely not disappointed. Why has this magical combination of ingredients not been fused together by world, famous chefs? My hats off to the to the chef or shall I say the maestro of exquisite burgers? The flavors, the textures the freshness of the ingredients are unreal ! How do you manage to cut those tiny tasty tomatoes in half. So perfectly arranged in a salad so green, that it looks like the landscape of the Oregonian wilderness. What about the blue cheese fries ! First off they look like they belong in a museum next to the Mona Lisa. You just took the French fry to a whole new level, unreachable by any other. The Coalition of ingredients that makes up this amazing piece of art is good enough to be a main dish of its own. As a lover of blue cheese, I have to say that you nailed the perfect amount of blue cheese layered over the bed of the most tasty and crispy fries that I've had in long time. According to my teenage kids, the cheese balls were the best that they have ever had. Takes a lot to calm down a bunch of rowdy teenagers. Whatever magical potions that you worked into the ingredients that can bring a bunch of teenagers into a state of silence and awe needs to be bottled and sold. The fine perfectly chilled lager beer that accompanied my delectable burger and fries made our vacation from Los Angeles CA. truly complete. As soon as I stepped in the door and notice the friendly hospitality and unique decor. I knew that we were in a special place. Everyone in the staff made my family and I feel so welcomed and comfortable. I can only describe your fine establishment as, simply sublime. read more

Have to admit that we chose this place for lunch because of its name - because taking a trip to the shopping area nearby meant we were also hungry... you do know that tracking down whatever you're hunting for makes one's stomach start growling, right? What could be better than a local cow? Sounds like a great burger to me! I ordered the Pendleton Burger with Local Cow fries. Burgers come with chips but for a couple bucks more, you can get the Local Cow fries. I highly recommend it! The burger was made with cheddar cheese, smoked bacon, crispy onion petals and topped with a tangy bbq sauce. Best burger I've had in quite awhile! The Local Cow fries were made with truffle oil, rosemary garlic, and topped with Parmesan. So many fries I couldn't even eat them all! (Took the leftovers home and crisped them up in the air fryer for breakfast the next day.) Service was friendly and fast. Dining room seating was plentiful when we arrived but it filled up quickly as we ate our meal. I can't wait till I can return for another taste treat burger! read more

Last September I had an occasion to stay in Gresham, OR and found The Local Cow via GrubHub. EXCELLENT! I ordered the Fort Stevens Burger with Hardwood Smoked Bacon, Mushrooms, Onions, and Black truffle Aioli. My side was the Cow Fries with Garlic, Rosemary, Black Truffle Oil and Parmesan. Phenomenol! I highly recommend this place! read more

First of all, you're always hearing how somebody has the best burgers... That is not even close to an exaggeration with this place. Decor is very relaxed and cute, the people that work there are adorable and wonderful, but let's talk burgers... The Jala Moo Ya is by far the most incredible burger I've ever tasted, and I am a "well-burgered 68 year-old." The jalapeño cream cheese is like nothing I've ever tasted. The buns were perfect. The medium rare was perfect. And the rosemary garlic fries are to die for! Gonna be back in the area and gonna be enjoying fabulous burgers again soon. read more

I don't like this place. Let me clarify. My waistline doesn't like this place. The food is just delicious. We were passing through on the way to PDX and stopped in for lunch. I ordered the Pendleton expecting to only eat my burger, but I destroyed my fries as well. It comes with chips but I paid the extra $2 to upgrade to fries. I kinda knew I was gonna have one or two fries but not the whole thing. Worst yet, the service was fantastic. Our server was friendly and the food came out really fast. Now I'm frustrated I live far away from this restaurant. I might have to make a habit of coming here every time I pass through town. Moo! read more

Walked in today fully exhausted on a hot day for a wonderful treat. Good burgers . We took slider as well as el chupacabra. Later is bit messy to eat , but absolutely loved it. Cow fries were good and the peach pineapple lemonade was very refreshing. Great option if you are driving down to Gresham side and probably one of the best burgers in the area read more

We came over for lunch on Friday afternoon. It was busy when we came in. No wait. Got a table right away. They sell tap beers. Lots of good decorations. We ordered a Cheese Ballz as an appetizer. Came deep fried with marinara sauce. I ordered a Hawaii 503 burger and my friend ordered a El Chupacabra with good roasted jalapenos. Very heavy burger. The sides were falling onto the plate. My Hawaii 503 has mango pieces on it and it was delicious. Very flavorful. Absolutely love the teriyaki glazed pineapple. Juicy burger with yummy flavors of pineapple and mango. This restaurant is located in downtown Gresham right by ICandy. I'm sure there will be more seating available in the summer time. read more

My dad had finished with a doctors appointment and was starving so we went to the closest burger joint and it was The Local Cow! Boy were we surprised. Such a fun, cute place in the middle of Main Street in Gresham. Casual tables, cow prints hung on the wall and a tv. They really know how to do burger right! We ordered fries, the sliders and the Rockwood. We gobbled everything up in minutes. Fry portion was huge, super flavorful and the burgers were delicious too. Service and staff 10 out of 10. read more

Food: The burger was the best part of the meal. The local beef was flavorful and the topping was not overpowering the fact it was a burger. The fries were a bit of a let down they felt like they had been sitting for a bit. Overall enjoyed the meal. Service: Was good I did have to ask for refills. But the food came out quickly. Ambiance: Casual burger joint with good atmosphere. The decor of the name. Good place for a burger in Gresham would go again. read more

This is always been one of our go to places for a burger and fries. Last few times have been a little disappointing though. My wife and I tried the burger special. Brie cheese, pineapple salsa and bacon on a brioche bun. Mine on a gf bun, $3 extra. The specials are a good deal at $12 for the burger and fries. Interesting combo. Super sweet though. After a few bites the sweetness became overpowering. We made the choice to order them however, balancing the sweetness is on them. Bigger issue was the fries. We got a lot of them for sure. Very inconsistent cook. Some were as crispy as a potato chip, some just overcooked. Definitely not freshly made. They have 2 large metal bowls at the cooking station filled with fries. It appears you likely will get fries that have been sitting a while. Also lots of tiny fries apparently from the bottom. Service was as usual very good and friendly read more

Cool decor amazing burgers and great staff! My Girlfriend suggested this place on the way home from the beach and I had been wanting to try it. Thank God we did! I had the El Chupacabra burger with her ordering the Fort Stevens both with local cow fries. OK fries first,amazing taste huge, portion,and the Parmesan and truffle oil were yummy! Her burger was delicious blue cheese, bacon,mushrooms and black truffle aioli !!!! Truly delicious!! Now My BURGER!!! House Made Pimento cheese,Smoked Bacon,Roasted jalapenos and Goat Slayer Sauce (Siracha Aioli)! I am truly having trouble putting the experience into words... This was by far the best hamburger experience I have ever had!! This Hamburger had so much depth of flavor and it was absolutely perfect. It's funny because normally I am an all American hamburger guy. Beef pickles lettuce tomato onion mayo ketchup mustard! For some reason this burger on the menu was calling me and boy did it deliver! Not as hot as you would expect but a nice level of spice and that Pimento was insane combined with the roasted jalapenos and that smoked bacon and sauce OMG. We will continue to stop here anytime we are in the area and I will try every burger on the menu! Next the Jala-moo-ya (house Made jalapeno cream cheese,Bacon mayo and Rose City Pepperheads Hawaiin Jalapeno pepperjelly!!! YOU GOTTA GO!!! read more

The food is amazing. The teen attitude no thank you! We have been clients of local cow for a year now. Have enjoyed introducing friend to this place. A favorite of my co-workers during the week. But the young teen girls with attitude not ok. Slamming chairs , complaining because it's busy. Be thankful that people are picking this place and providing your employer the ability to keep the doors open. Last weekend a co-worker shared the same thing they had horrible attitudes because the church had an event and it was busy . Awful! read more

Did I not do a review for Local Cow already?! No way! If someone asked me ONE of the TOP 5 places to try in OREGON. LOCAL COW will be on that list. This place will not disappoint!

Their house ranch, chefs kiss! read more

Very friendly positive person behind the counter. I thought I was where you order, but I think they have table service. They also have tables outside but were in the sun when I was there. I got a cheeseburger with onion and mustard and they offered me a choice of mustard. It was good, but not sure if it was onion or the meat but it was a bit lumpy. It was rather too well done for me and too thin, but much thicker than a smash burger, which I don't like at all. Still far better than McDonalds so maybe a 4 star? And it depends on how you like your burger. I bike here in summer, and the Delirium coffee shop closed so looking around for another pit stop. Another sandwich. place also seems to be gone, but still a few other choices to try. Blended mocha and grilled cheese was my go to. I think the fries were pretty good, a $2 upgrade from chips I think. And a large serving. read more

Wow! That was terrific! Everything was so good. Only thing missing was cocktails. I had a burger with pepper jack, crispy banana peppers, guacamole, and Chipotle mayo. So good. But the Bleu fries and caprese slides were the real winners. We also had the fresh marionberry lemonade and that was delicious also. And the ambiance was like a thousand times better than Brady's, but if you just look at the cost of my burger/ fries/ drink, it cost about the same. No comparison; Local Cow wins by a mile. Well worth the $15 burger! read more

The Local Cow has been my go-to spot when I want a thick burger. Every time I come here, I need a long nap right after. The Hawaii 503 burger is very easy to eat. You don't get sick of the same fatty flavor because there is BBQ sauce and pineapple to help cut through it. The Rockwood burger was an underdog for sure. I usually avoid getting burgers with guacamole because all you can taste is the guacamole. This burger actually NEEDS the guacamole to help bring all the flavors together. The sliders were actually really good, but really basic. I would get them again if I just wanted the taste of beef and onions. Also, I HIGHLY recommend that you upgrade your regular fries to cow fries because they are extremely addicting. You won't regret it Overall, a very nice burger place to stuff yourself. I would come here everyday if my arteries and wallet allowed it. read more

This was my first time here and I was pretty impressed. We ordered the Wilson Hill sandwich-- bacon between two burger patties covered with cheese in between two grilled cheese sandwiches!! SOOO good! It comes with chips, we upgraded to fires. However, when they brought it out we had the chips on the plate-- they quickly brought out the fires, but we also got to try the chips. First, we paid a total of $22 for the burger, fries and a soda. Might sound like a lot to some, but portions were HUGE! $1 to upgrade to fries from the chips was SO worth it! The chips themselves were also really good. Would recommend, for sure! read more

Was in the Gresham area and this came up as a top place to dine at. I ordered the el chupacabra burger which was good but messy to eat. As an appetizer, I ordered the salchchas y papas which consists of fries with some pieces of fried sausage along with fried banana peppers. I was pretty full before my burger came out just on the fries which come in a big bowl. Overall it was an ok experience if you're looking for something quick! Next time I wouldn't order an appetizer just the burger. read more

Located next a a brewery, we got a Pendleton burger with moo fries and a steak Caesar. My bf really liked the burger and the local cow fries! Although he said a little more sauce on the burger would make it even better! It came with bbq sauce, fried onion, beef patty, bacon, and cheddar cheese. The salad was surprisingly good with substantial amount of protein. I would get again. The steak was well seasoned! read more

I was.working in downtown Gresham this last week and thought it was the perfect time to try this place! It was pretty hot out and I walked there so I wasn't in the mood for a burger but they did look delicious. I opted for the taco salad with an IPA (shh don't tell). The salad was delicious. Not often do you get a taco salad with long sweet pepper slices. It was a very large salad so I actually ate it for lunch and dinner. It was a little hard to find. It shares and entrance with another store. Maybe I'm just bad at direction idk. I can say next time I'm in the area I'll probably drop in to try one of these burger! read more
