    Fun Guy Burger & Fries. It might not be pretty or photogenic, but it's DELICIOUS!!!
    Whitney P.

    Killer Burger Russell is one of my favorite go-to places in Irvington/Lloyd District. Great place to dive in our get to-go. * Super friendly staff * Fast service * Loyalty Club (earn free food!) * Great "box lunch special" everyday * Very welcoming for bringing a laptop to work and eat (they won't rush you to leave) Parking in Russell and around the corner on MLK can be hard to get. There are a few "customer only" spots directly behind the building in the paved alley, but still it can be tough to find an open spot during busy lunch/dinner times and Saturdays.

    No complaints! I had the Jose Mendoza burger with no cheese and it exceeded my expectations. The service was quick and it was a very spacious spot, I wish it came with fries but otherwise was great.

    Great experience. We have visited Killer Burger once before in Tanasbourne, and now Russell Street. Both times the burger, beer and service has been tremendous. We went to a concert at the Wonder Ballroom, and Killer Burger being within walking distance, it was the obvious choice, plus I have been anxious to visit again. I had the Meathead, our daughter had the Classic, and my wife had a Veggie Burger with green chilis. She remarked how good the burger was, and how the vegetables in the patty were so flavorful. The shared tots and fries were also excellent. The service at the front was extremely friendly and efficient. Now I am ready to go back again.

    I've had Killer Burger twice now and tasted 4 of their burgers. ALL of them are delicious but my favorite is still the peanut butter burger. I tried it first and can't get enough of it. The smooth runny peanut butter works so well with the salty bacon and delicious juicy burger, trust me your mouth will be watering for more. Their service is excellent and their fries and ranch dipping is also really good, but please try the peanut butter burger!

    Pretty tasty burgers and good value. I've never liked peanut butter much but decided to try their peanut butter pickle bacon burger which is like their thing here. I liked it, not too peanut buttery and went surprisingly well together. In terms of the actual burger, it was pretty good but not the best. The buns could've been better and I don't believe they were toasted which adds a lot and is essential IMO. But for the value it's a great deal. I saw someone complaining they got rid of bottomless fries during happy hour & replaced w/ a beer/burger/fry combo for $15, I would much rather have the beer. There were still plenty of fries for me, u can go to Golden Corral if you want a place to let your children pig out on bottomless fries. It sounds like they probably got rid of that deal because of ppl doing stuff like that.

    Order: Jose Mendoza Pros: the burger was not bad. I did expect a heap of frys because the guy said you got a lot. However, that turned out not to be true. Side note, this burger is NOT spicey even with all the peppers. Cons: they took FOREVER to make the burgers and it was hardly busy. Im talking over 30 minutes.

    We were looking for pizza, but ended up at this gem getting burgers instead. The merry traveler (me) is in Portland for a conference and needed some food after traveling for many hours. We went to grab a slice of pie (pizza) but the pizza where we stopped looked old and there was no place to sit, so we left. Looking outside we spotted Killer Burgers and decided to give it a try. I ordered the Fun Guy (mushroom and Swiss) burger. It was pretty much perfectly delicious! The cider I drank was also a tasty beverage! Brynn was very kind and helpful - definitely a people person! If only everyone in the public sector worked as hard to make things great for customers. Pros: Brynn, delish burgers, great fries, tasty cider Cons: the tables need some stabilizing so they aren't wobbling all over. One table actually had paper napkins shoved under it to stop the wobble. (I think this was probably a customer solution.)

    Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon

    I waited to write this review to make sure that this joint deserves major accolades from me & BOY DOES IT!! I've been here a half dozen times now & I can confidently say that I'm completely in love with the peanut butter pickle bacon burger (not kidding). It's the perfect combination of flavors, as weird as it sounds. If you're looking for something different & are willing to try new things then don't waste any time ordering this burger. Service is always fast, we don't spend much time with the employees but their always friendly. Just your typical burger joint, 2 huge tv's to the side of the shop. A few beers, & ciders on tap as well as canned ones. Great vibe! Love it, wish there was a killer burger in Central Oregon.

    This is a stunning burger…read more I have come here an embarrassing amount of times since moving back to Portland. The first time I came alone, just a little hungry and a lot broke. So I got the $6 little pleasure burger. A simple, single patty smash burger. It's everything a McDonald's burger wishes it could be - beefy and drippy, a squishy, slightly sweet bun, oozing hot grease without being heavy, lacy and crisp edges, and held together with the right amount of American cheese. It was the perfect amount for that day. Then I returned with my date. Twice. And he brought his coworkers for lunch because he liked it so much. I have had the western and the mushroom burger since, as well as the parm and chive waffle fries. They have nuggets and I'm inclined to believe they're great. The staff is great, it's a small team and they're all there every single day. They care about their product and your experience. The space is a simple counter, not good for large groups. It should be noted that even though their burgers would be great with a beer, they don't seem to have a liquor license! So don't expect an IPA with that shroom burger. Maybe someday!

    Ooof. This was the most amazing burger. I had the western because I wanted an onion ring. The best…read morecooked smash patties, absolute top notch.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.

We walked down here on a beautiful day after wedding deletes shopping, so spirits were high. Located on a busy corner, but with plenty of outdoor seating, Lardo is a good place to have lunch on a Saturday. I have nothing to say about the parking sitch. My daughter and I shared the Willamette Reuben and her friend ordered the Italian Flag. We shared the Lardo fries. Oh man, the Reuben was perfection! The flavor of the meat and everything on the sandwich, from texture to flavor--chef's kiss! We heard that the Italian Flag was excellent too. Definitely, you can share a sandwich especially if you're having fries. The fries were delicious--crispy and flavorful on the outside, perfectly hot and mushy on the inside. Yum!
