Incredible people run this place. Absolutely great burger. Maybe a little spendy but one of the best burgers you could possibly get within 20 miles of here. It's a must try burger for burger people in the Portland area. (4.6 Stars) read more

Five Stars Family Burger - Burgers Near Me - Cornelius, Oregon

In general, the Portland metro area doesn't have burgers worth crowing about. The old timers will rave about Helvetia Tavern, Skyline, Roake's, Jim Dandy, Mike's Drive In, Fuller's, and Nob Hill burgers. These are various takes on Burger King's Whopper and it's difficult to prove otherwise. Canard's steamed slider? A chef'd up White Castle. Champs, Farmer and the Beast and Tulip Shop? Yes, every city has smash burgers now, congratulations. Wolf's Head? The issue with throwing pork into the mix is some days it's glorious and some days it's the driest burger you'll ever eat. Higgins?! Yes, dad, your $30 bacon cheeseburger was totally worth it and not at all a slightly upgraded McMenamins offering. But Five Stars? I'm genuinely stunned every time Grand Lodge has a show and this place isn't packed. Those who know treasure it, and those who lack the patience are missing out. There's enough commentary on the spartan interior and the counter-and-drink-cooler aesthetic, but the important detail is the note to customers to the right of the register: Your meal is going to take time. It's going to be perhaps 20 to 40 minutes. It will not come out before that time. If you are in a hurry, please go elsewhere. They say this as straightforwardly as they can: They would rather have the time to prepare your meal correctly and sell fewer burgers than churn out nonsense to more customers. Armed with that knowledge, I ordered a bulgogi cheeseburger, took my drink, and settled in to watch the traffic. On a weekday, my only companions were older couples who'd clearly been coming in for years. About 25 minutes later, the burger arrived on its char-toasted kaiser bun (a rarity out here). On the first bite, I encountered both flavor and texture I could only compare to a wagyu-based take on a Big Mac that I'd sampled at a Chicago culinary festival. The patty melted into a near pate, while the bulgogi blended with the cheese into a complementary umami flavor that chains like Umami Burger never quite achieved and local spots like Mr. Bento seem too focused on speed and volume to prepare correctly. I am absolutely late to the party here and realize that countless influencers, food critics, car clubs, and Western Washington County regulars have already made 5 Stars an overwhelming success. But that "best in Oregon" claim isn't just a tilted Yelp score or foodie hyperbole: It's a whole lot of time and effort paying off in a product worth the expense. 5 Star unquestionably makes the best burger in this state, but it's the care taken by the family behind it and the genuine love of the community surrounding it that separates it from the crowd. P.S. I can't believe the former owner of Piattino left a bad review. What would I rather do with my life: Make food and experiences that people remember months to years later and serve as the basis for comparison to every burger that comes next, or open the 30th reclaimed-barnwood restaurant in town with a forgettable take on the same pizza made by at least three other Portland spots? read more

Have driven past this place maybe 100 times having worked previously in Cornelius and currently in Forest Grove. Knew it had a cult following but just had not been able to make a stop in until a couple of weekends ago after making a trip to the library that is right down the street. Visited on a Friday lunchtime. We were the only people there at first but the take-out business was jumpin' with calls coming in every few minutes. We waited maybe 20 minutes, which seemed totally fair given the care and attention given to making our order. During the wait perused all the license plates on the wall and watched them work the grill. The owner and his wife plus son (?) were all so friendly. Appreciated their giving us a heads up about how big the food would be and not risk over-ordering. We had a a plain hotdog (with fries) and a plain cheeseburger (with fries) and they were both tasty despite the kids ordering literally the most blah things on the menu. Next time momma will get what she wants! read more

Really enjoyed our visit to Five Star Family Burger! I got the Avo Burger and it was delicious. Everything tasted fresh, and the service was great. I also really like the mom-and-pop feel of this place--it feels like food is being made with care. I waited a reasonable amount of time for our food, and they mentioned that calling ahead is a good option if you don't want to wait. Just keep in mind, it's not fast food. The food is made fresh, so give them a little time! My daughter got a hot dog and ate the whole thing, so I'd say she definitely approved. And honestly, to the customers always be kind. If you want good customer service, be a good customer too. A little patience and respect goes a long way. We'll definitely be back! read more

We heard through friends about this place that has long waits for well worth it burgers so I had to experience it myself. I called ahead and was quoted a pickup time. They told me to call back 40 minutes before to confirm it was on schedule. Just the phone call alone was a five star experience. Very helpful and effortlessly funny, I wanted to be friends! We picked up our order at 1:10pm and sat inside to eat. Wow so good. I'm not even that into burgers but these were delicious! The charcoal preparation and the months long bulgogi marinade were apparent and appreciated. We got the bulgogi, the hot-dog cheeseburger, and the kimchi burger. We loved them all but if I had to rank them, that's the order right there! Ambiance is cozy and approachable. The flavor experience was so out of body, it was hard to remember where I was. We're coming back!! read more

First visit. And I cannot believe alll these years I have driven by and not have noticed them. To be honest, it is the polite customer service and friendliness that appeals to me. The burgers for sure are great and fresh, too but the owners are unique..like country-Korean. I love it. I also love hole in d wall places with hand written notes. This place is legit. I'm not a sweet meat person but the bulgogi burger is delicious. I also loved the avocado burger. They had a funny sign: if you smile, we smile. If you're you get that in return. lol read more

We called in an order a bit after 5pm and were told it would be ready at 6:10. My husband went and it was ready a little early which was nice! We got the bulgogi burger and the kimchi one. Both were delicious. I got spice level five and it was pretty spicy for the kimchi so if you don't tolerate spice well I would get less than that. The take their time to make sure you're served delicious burgers. It feels like such a hole in the wall kind of place because of where it is! But so good. read more

Been awhile since we came here and blown away again. The bulgogi burger flavor profile is so good with the sweet and slightly crispy bulgogi with the textbook burger. I always wanna go higher on spice with the kimchi but always stick with a 10. Nice kick of heat and flavor without overloading the buds to the point of no enjoyment. The family working there are so nice. This place is a must eat. read more

After hearing a lot of raving reviews, I finally stopped in to five Star. I got a classic cheeseburger and added grilled onion. The burger was good, nothing to write home about flavor-wise but definitely above average in fresh ingredients. I look forward to the "specialty" sauce that burger places often have and was disappointed to find out the only sauce they have here is ketchup. I can't help but think perhaps I just ordered the wrong item to understand the hype, but I'll be back to give it another try. read more

If you're anywhere near Portland, do yourself a favor and make the drive out to Five Stars Family Burger -- seriously, this place is worth every minute of the trip. *** MAKE SURE YOU CALL AHEAD FOR YOUR ORDER*** I drove about an hour just to try their kimchi burger, and I'd do it again without hesitation. The first bite hits you with that perfect balance -- juicy, well-seasoned beef, melted cheese, and then that tangy, slightly spicy kick from the kimchi that just cuts through everything. It's not overpowering -- it complements the burger in a way that makes you wonder why this isn't more common. What really makes this place special though is the vibe. It's a true family-run spot, and you can feel it the second you walk in. Super welcoming, no-frills, just good people serving seriously good food. You know it's legit when a simple burger makes you pause mid-bite. 100% worth the drive -- not just for the food, but for the experience.

Five Stars Family Burger - Burgers Near Me - Cornelius, Oregon

I've gone here a couple of times, and overall the experience was great. I typically order the kimchi burger which tastes great. The burger is juicy, flavorful, and taste fresh and homemade. It pairs well with the kimchi, and I believe there is a spicy mayo that they use on the burger which compliments the burger well. Orders typically comes with fries and the burger which range from $13-$18 range. It's a bit on the expensive side, but given the fact that they make the patties from scratch and fresh you can argue it's worth it. There tends to be a relatively long wait for orders, HOWEVER they make it very well known about this, and encourage you to call ahead. They have signs in the restaurant about this, and emphasizes how much they value yours and the businesses time as well, so I respect that. The staff members are very friendly and treat customers as if they are family. The store seems to be family owned, which gives it a very welcoming atmosphere. Is this something worth getting each week? For some people yes. But for me, I'd definitely say on occasions, especially if I'm craving a good burger. read more

Amazing! My brother went at opening and we got the bulgogi burger add kimchi a regular bulgogi burger and a hot dog with the works. Hamburgers were so exceptionally good. Every ingredient is there for a reason but I was especially blown away by the hotdog! Incredible hotdog so not skip out on this! read more

I drove 40 minutes from town and I would do it again!! Five stars isn't enough for Five Star Family Burger! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel right at home - warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they take pride in their work, and it shows in every detail. The food? Delivered promptly and piping hot, every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully crafted. But the real standout was the Bulgogi Burger - a genius fusion of classic American comfort and bold Korean flavor. It's not something you'd expect to find on a small-town menu, but that's what makes it so special. Sweet, savory, perfectly marinated beef with just the right amount of kick - it was unreal. If you're anywhere near Cornelius, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's rare to find a place with this much heart, flavor, and creativity under one roof. Five Star Family Burger is a local gem! read more

I didn't previously feel the need to review Five Star Family Burger because dozens of folks have given the same review I will. It is terrific! However, after reading the ridiculous negative reviews, I feel compelled to clarify a few things. This isn't like McDonald's where you drive up 24/7 whenever you feel hungry. You need to plan in advance. This means calling ahead and placing an order. So what? Five Stars is that good, folks! Their food is sooooo uniquely delicious they had to invent a system to accommodate the floods of people who wish to eat there. As far as I'm concerned, that's good management of time, staffing and resources. They care about the quality of their food. That's the definition of a great restaurant to me. I called about 12:30 and they said they could do an order for me about 3:15 I believe it was. I had an appointment until 2:30 and headed over. I parked my car in the lot and about 3:05, a very friendly energetic young man makes the extra effort to come out and find me and invite me in to pick up my food. I felt like a member of their family! So nice! I had the kimchi burger (lively flavor! Fun!) and hubs ordered the bulgogi burger. Those juicy grilled patties were to die for. Nice fresh buns (bit of char was evidence they grilled those babies to perfection) and beautiful, FRESH veggies. Yummy sauce tied everything together in a delightful messy way. My mouth is watering with my own description. My beef-hound husband said the bulgogi was almost too much meat for him! I couldn't believe my ears! Fries were also delicious, still crispy when I got home 20 minutes after pickup. We cannot wait to eat there again. Any naysayers are welcome to go to Wendy's as this leaves more opportunities to enjoy Five Star for the rest of us fans. read more

I have been here before and we learned you need to call in your order early to make sure they can accommodate, totally fine. Small owned family business who are great and we picked up an order today we called in at noon for 430 and at 4 got a call to confirm we would be there at 430 which was nice. Great customer service but please note you should call in your order before you go or they may not be able to accommodate your order for an hour or two because they are that small of an establishment and cool to order and quality good burgers. Even after a 30 minute drive home it's still good. The beef tastes good like real good quality beef and the bacon is good too. read more

Five Stars Family Burger - Bacon cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Cornelius, Oregon

This was probably the best cheeseburger I've had in my life (at least a top 3). Very rarely do I find a burger spot that makes better burgers than my own, but the jalapeno cheeseburger I ordered was insane. Upon entering, you'll notice maybe 3-4 massive signs emphasizing that this is NOT fast food, and the signs are correct. The burgers will take awhile, but they are phenomenal. It seems like most people call ahead; however, the staff are very transparent about the expected wait time. The service was great and the guy taking our orders was super cool. Ambiance was also great but space is pretty limited inside. They have a couple parking spaces but street parking is plentiful. I'll definitely be back to try the kimchi burger! read more

First and foremost, if you can call and order ahead do it because they can only cook so many delicious burgers at a time and you will have to wait 20 minutes to up to 3 hours (yes for real) Service was great, the gentleman that greeted us was very clear on on the wait when we entered, it would be about 45 minutes for our order. We were good with it we had time, they make a point that they are not fast food, they are delicious food. While we waited he would come iut and check on the guests. We just killed time with our coffee and trip planning. The Burgers arrived and we were not disappointed at all. They were delicious!!! They charcoal grill their burgers and toast the buns as well. With gas and pellet grills I forget about how good a charcoal grilled burger tastes. They source their meat from Carlton Farms so nothing frozen going on here. Our burgers were juicy and had the right amount of condiments on them, we just plowed right through them just like what we witnessed others doing. We were silently enjoying them. Crinkle fries were nice and crispy and perfectly salted the burger sauce drippings worked great for fry sauce too. It is a fun place, lots of license plates on the walls, seating seemed appropriate as most people ordered in advance to ouck up. Tables were clean and comfortable to sit at. As we left they thanked us for visiting, when we exited they had a door open outside where the dad was grilling burgers on that great smelling charcoal grill. Oh yeah and mom was inside dressing and packing the meals as they were made. This is a family run place and they all seem to work well together. We will be back again, we will order in advance over the phone first and they do not do online or delivery service. It is perfect for the small town vibe, family, small business with good food. read more

****FRIENDLY NOTICE*** after conversing with the owners and their son they prefer you call ahead to order. It's a small family business cranking out amazing burgers so be ready to wait and be patient. They get really busy with orders and if you just show up could end up waiting a long time to get your food. They open at 11am, but take orders as early as 10am. The earlier you go the better because they can sell out of food. Five Stars Family Burger is deserving of its award for one of best burger places in the nation. This place was amazing and the customer service was perfect. It was our first time there and the cashier was extremely helpful. He walk us through the menu, what's the most popular item (it varies everyday). I ordered the F5-kimchi cheeseburger with an extra patty. The meat was juicy and well seasoned. It mixed wonderfully with the kimchi, and toppings on the burger. You can chose your heat level too, 1-10, I went with level 5. Next time I'll go spicier. We also got an F8-Bulgogi Cheeseburger. The sweet sauce used in the bulgogi was delicious addition to the burger. It was a good sweet and salty combo. Finally we got the F1-Classic burger. It's just a basic burger but with one of their flavor-able, well seasoned patty. Every burger comes with fries. I'm not one to brag about fries, BUT lemme tell you they're crunchy, well salted, and tasty. Parking is limited but there is a lot of street parking. Also, it is located on a busy street so lots of moving cars. read more

I don't mind the wait, but I was highly disappointed in the burger. Not sure why everyone raves about it. Very bland burger patty at twice the price. I'd recommend Mr. Bento Burger or even five guys over this place. ‍ read more

Great burgers, freshly made, and I could definitely feel the sincerity and effort that the family puts to their business. We were ~lovingly~ scolded by the Korean owner because we would not go in after he called us in right after we parked. It was before opening, we thought we would have time, so we went right in when our friend came at about 10:55am. He said "why didn't you come in when I told you to?! I have 20 orders already lined up! Now you have to wait long!". They did their best to get our orders out as quickly as possible, we waited about 30-40 minutes. Most people order by phone for pick-up and it's about 2 hours. Some people who walked in were told they had to wait for 2 hours, so they all went back. They start taking orders from 10 am. Pro tip: order ahead and pick up later. The dining area is small, and only has a few tables. The price already includes a side of fries. When we finished and were walking to our car, we saw the father who scolded us, starting the fire with the flame thrower outside. He said that he makes everything by hand and grill everything by himself. Business is going good, he doesn't have capacity to do more. He said he didn't need anymore exposure, since the burger joint was already featured on local and national media. Then when I was taking some pictures (he said he didn't care us taking pictures) he then proceeded to tell me to take video from the side for clearer angle of his flame thrower. This ahjusshi is so funny. That whole interaction deserves 5/5. Kimchi burger is the bomb. There is a young gentleman who helps out, which I assume his son, he was also very nice! read more

This place is awesome and the food is great but order ahead of time and don't give them a bad review based off your poor planning. My gf and I called ahead and placed an order for a kimchi burger and bulgogi burger. They were very honest with time and said it would be about 35-40 minutes to make because we had just missed the previous batch (they hand marinate and make everything to order in batches). This was no problem since we were driving from Portland. If you like crinkle cut fries then I'd recommend 2 orders of fries since they are kind of small and the burger was gone in minutes...it was delicious. Personally I think I liked the bulgogi burger more and my gf liked the kimchi burger (spice 5). I think I overheard them going to level 10 or higher so I'd ask if you're curious. Definitely recommend and I can't wait to go back! The staff is so friendly and kind I would love to continue supporting them! read more

Decided to try out the place after seeing what the rave is all about. I was even having a laugh cause of the name but after trying them out.

Was on an outdoor excursion with a buddy and needed some lunch. Looked up burgers on Google Maps and saw this spot with great reviews and decided to pick it. I am very glad I did. Trust when I say I know me a good cheeseburger from a bad one. I don't know what they're seasoning their meat with, but it's truly delicious. I got the bacon cheeseburger with all the fixings and it was a banger 100% no doubt. The perfect balance of salt, fat, acid, and umami. The meat is locally sourced from a nearby farm and the produce used is very fresh. They know exactly what they're doing. Now be mindful that the burger will take anywhere from five to twenty five minutes depending how busy they are, but it is worth it. The price may seem a little steep, and in all honesty it may be for some people; but it is delicious. It is a lovely mother, father and son, and they are angels running a sweet spot. If you love a real quality burger, respectful treatment and service, and supporting local business, this is a must. I never write reviews so know the rave is for real. read more

Excellent burger, proportion and assembly were spot on. Order as is. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing from start to finish. We got lucky and only had to wait about 25 mins as walk ins, and it was 100% worth it. I had the bulgogi burger while my husband had the jalapeño burger, spice level 6 which was perfect. The patty was perfectly cooked all the way through, charred on the outside, juicy on the inside. Ingredients were fresh and buns were soft and delicious. The bulgogi was perfect, not fatty or stringy. Perfect amount of crispy crinkle fries which weren't greasy or overly salted. Dave and his wife Inn were so sweet and welcoming. I personally enjoyed Dave's no nonsense but still lighthearted attitude, you can tell they take pride in the food they create. Also, he is hilarious. I enjoyed the funny signs throughout the restaurant. The location itself was simple and just a place to sit and enjoy your meal. Dave checked on us and how our meal was going. I appreciated cans of soda because it's easy portion control for me. Overall the only thing I'm upset about is not having checked this place out sooner! read more

Service was great, I didn't realize they closed at 7pm. My wife and I walked in at 6:55pm. The owner told us to stay, sit, and let him cook something for us. He was super friendly, and funny.
