    Left coast cheese burger and fries
    Amanda L.

    All around great! Besides that I love downtown Gresham and this restaurant is located next to a sweets shop, the food is fresh and local and you can taste the difference. There is more seating inside than it appears from outside. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The menu is on the smaller end but offers a wide range of options that I think everyone could find something. Given the freshness of the food the price was reasonable. And omg were the fries the crispiest! The plain fries can be a bit bland so I recommend the local cow fries which come with parmesan and herb seasoning. Most of the burgers come loaded with lots of toppings but the bun does a good job of holding it all together without being messy or falling apart. I look forward to my next stop here!

    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!

    Jala-Moo-Ya burger
    Joelnramoz ..

    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.

    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.

    Ft Stevens Burger with Black Truffle and Parmesan Cow Fries
    Gary E.

    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!

    The El Chupacabra
    Stephanie F.

    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!

    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.
