    Wall inside restaurant dining room

    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!

    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!

    Met up with friends here on a busy Saturday and was so impressed with the service and quality of food! I ordered the Chupacabra burger which was so juicy and cheesy, their French fries were seasoned and crispy. Everything was very delicious and while it's bar food technically it was definitely elevated! Look forward to returning!

    This was an amazing lunch stop after hiking! The burger was at the top of my list of delicious. So juicy and perfectly flavorful, all I wanted was another bite. We were greeted very warmly and served very quickly. This place knows how to serve its customers. This is a great small town burger place just outside of the Portland area. Next time I'm in town I will definitely stop by again.

    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.

    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.

    Food was delicious. Service was great. Team were experienced with having well behaved service animals. It's nice to not be challenged when you're doing public access. We will return.

    I've always loved this place but the last time I was there the staff was rude to my family and the burger was trash. Took me 30 minutes to get a refund and I will not be back.

    So, I'm from Hawaii. I worked at a Hawaii burger chain for almost 20 years... moving to Oregon and…read moreI constantly ask, where's a good burger? No one ever really has an answer. So I search yelp, and I've seen these guys on my DoorDash ordering page. I got off work early one day and a friend mentioned that there is Hawaii food at "THE FORK" so I went over, I didn't care for the Hawaiian food truck (sorry no offense) because... well I smelled burgers. I smelt juicy beef coming from a vent. I turned around and what do you know? It's a burger cart!!! The worker in the food cart looked young, and I remembered when I was 14 I was flipping burgers myself. I checked out the menu, I found my favorite burger on it. MUSHROOMS AND SWISS CHEESE! And who doesn't love a good ole smash burger? I even ordered fries. I splurged a little. It all came out to about $18? The worker was friendly, food was timely. I walked my dog and myself around the vicinity and got a boba and my buzzer went off and I went straight home to eat the burger. It was so juicy, and yes greasy too. What do you expect? It's a BURGER! A greasy ole burger. My favorite food item. The fries were yummy and I honestly sat there with my double patties mushroom Swiss burger with the veggies and I just felt so darn happy. It made me miss being back in Hawaii for a minute because honestly I ate a burger every chance I got back home. But I can't wait to treat myself again. Such a good pick and only 5 minutes from my house. Who would have thought a food cart stop would be an amazing place for a yummy burger?!

    The guy told us he was the only other person who worked there besides the owner he did a great good…read moreburger was fresh and delicious Now let's talk about the smash sauce hmmm got me wanting some fried fish hint but if in Portland I would definitely suggest giving it a try
