Just an overall great experience. I got there shortly after 5, thinking I'd beat an evening rush, but it was packed. Dim lighting, lots of seating, a clear favorite for friends meeting up. The bartenders welcomed me when I came in and promptly served me when I took a seat at the bar. Everyone working there was nice and seems like they actually enjoy their jobs and the people they work with. I loved just watching how they communicated. It was inviting. I started with the Improved Old Fashioned. Solid. I came here specifically for the wings, as I heard they were some of the better ones in town, so I put in an order promptly. They came out steaming. These are big wings. And they are absolutely delicious. Crispy in the best way from their double fried technique. The buffalo sauce was perfect. I had to order a Rainier about halfway through to help me wash it down. Completely devoured both and seriously considered for staying for one more drink because the vibes were immaculate, but I wanted to give up my seat so that someone else could enjoy the same experience I just had. Cant wait to return. read more

My husband and I came here for a date on a Friday night, arriving around 8pm and it was packed. The inside is cool, I liked the art hanging on the walls and the plants around the joint. We sat at a counter near the door and our drink order was taken pretty fast. I ordered a passionfruit gimlet and it was delicious. When we put in our food order, we didn't expect it would take almost an hour to get a burger, a fish sandwich and an order of onion rings. I suppose the kitchen might've been backed up? But next time we'll make sure we aren't hungry when we arrive just in case. I finished my gimlet and ordered another drink before the food came. I ordered a margarita, as my husband mentioned them being on some list for the best margarita in Portland, but there was a taste in it that really reminded me of cleaning solution. The waitress was really kind and when I told her, she swapped it out for another passionfruit gimlet and removed the margarita from the bill. When the food arrived, I was sooooo hungry, so I can't tell if it was truly an excellent fish sandwich or if I was just that excited to have food. I really enjoyed it though! And the onion rings were such a perfect, crispy texture. Overall, it was good and I would go back! I would just go at a less busy time or before I was already hungry. read more

After a great first outing we were pretty disappointed to hear the serving throwing out politics when we are having a dinner out with friends. At one point describing the fry sauce she said "it was just like chick fill A but without the hate". Just saying that is hateful. Just serve us with a smile and keep your politics for your friends. Be prepared to wait. Tried getting on before 5 but t was still a bit. Did not even see server for a good 10 mins plus. Then told at least 35 minutes to get food. read more

5 stars because for some reason it has good aura. In other news: the onions rings r legendary but they lose their shine on the 2nd or 3rd time getting them. At that point you can't ignore the amount of oil soaked in those gigantic monsters and how you slowly descend into queasy sludge. Advice: as much as the onion rings are favored, get the Fries, they are way more reliable. Fish sandwich is nottttt worth the price. It's not awful, just below mid at best. read more

Tulip Shop Tavern is one of my absolute favorites and my definitive go-to when I don't want to risk trying a new place. It is a busy, clean, and vibrant hipster bar. Having visited several times, I can confidently say every single meal has been delicious and remarkably consistent. During this visit, we ordered the fish sandwich alongside a Dole Whip slushy. The Dole Whip was so incredibly delicious that I completely finished it before my sandwich even arrived. As for the fish sandwich, it easily ranks as one of the best in town. The fillet is fried to a shattered-crisp golden crunch and nestled in a soft, butter-toasted bun with cool, tangy tartar sauce and a refreshingly crisp slaw. You simply cannot go wrong choosing Tulip Shop--it truly is one of Portland's brightest gems. read more

great for: a place to be loud and spend a long time in with friends not great for: relaxing after a long day at work, if your hearing is sensitive, if you get overwhelmed easily. on a Tuesday evening (during summer) this place was completely packed, the vibe was positive and good, the food took a long time. i might come back when i feel like its time to party/be loud, but skip this place if you want something peaceful and/or quick. read more

Easily the most smashed smashburger I've ever had! The patties were paper thin and crispy around the edges. I'm impressed. You can really taste the high quality ingredients that they used from the buns to the greens to the patties. Don't get me wrong, it's a filling meal but you don't feel greasy afterwards. We tried the Double Double and the Fair Burger (as a double!). Both were delicious, not too different from one another. I'd go for a single patty next time cause that is more than plenty. Onion Rings were crispy but too heavy on the batter. Didn't taste much of the onion, sadly. Lovely staffs and fun energy. Space is also super clean. The outdoor patio is a nice touch too. read more

Easily one of the best smash burgers I have ever had. It was so good that we regretted not getting the double patty. It was a crowded bar, but service was fast and easy, and the ambiance was wonderful. The fries also had the perfect crunch, and they gave a ton for one order. The drinks were also strong! Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a great burger spot, this place is amazing. read more

My friends have been telling me for the past year to check out Tulip Shop so I told a friend I meet him there for food and drinks. I arrived and the place was pretty busy, probably as expected for a late weekend crowd. We sat in the bar and I ordered a smash burger and a tall whiskey ginger ale. The ambience is darkly lit and reminds me of a similar layout of Sweet Hereafter (RIP). The staff was friendly and checked periodically if we needed anything. My burger arrived and I ate in silence as my friend rambled about what was on his mind at the time. The drink prices are a little higher than other bars but they also have some signature cocktails to try as well. A few months later, a couple of my friends invited me out to the late night happy hour and that is what definitely won me over. They have smash burgers discounted a couple hours before closing and they offer various food specials. The corn dog sounded delicious and was recommended. I also ordered fries and a side of queso for only $2 extra. It was the best decision of the evening as the queso was very generous and it paired well with not only the fries, but also the corn dog as well. If you want like gigantic onion rings, they deliver and honestly I can't wait to back for that alone. read more

We stopped here for my husband's birthday lunch on a Friday. Despite it being pretty busy, we had great service. Food came out at a reasonable time. I really enjoyed the shoestring fries and queso dip. All queso should be served in this big of a bowl! My husband enjoyed his smash burger with grilled jalapeno and I liked my veggie burger with grilled onions, but we agreed we've had better elsewhere. The vibe in there is almost elevated dive bar of that makes any sense. Interesting black light art on the walls and a spacious covered patio. read more

I have been dying to try this place and I was mainly coming for the food. I went with my son as he recently turned 21. We rarely stray from our SE neighborhood with amazing bars and restaurants. It was relatively busy especially on the outside patio. Think they only had 2 waitresses working with an additional food runner. I was completely shocked when we got the bill. It was super expensive for bar food in my humble opinion. Our total for a fish salad, a salad with a side of chicken and onion rings plus a beer and cocktail was over $67 plus tip. I guess I have been out of town for a couple weeks, but we do go out quite a bit and I thought it would be a little more reasonable. I'm glad I tried it and I can understand why people like it but also can understand why their yelp reviews have gone down. read more

Have been thinking about trying this spot for a while and then saw them listed in OregonLive's list of PDX top restaurants 2025. So that settled it. Enjoyed the Tavern Burger and the Fat Washed Old Fashioned. Very cool space. They have plenty of tables inside, a large bar, and an overflow bar. Also have a large covered patio in the back. Service was terrific. read more

Was craving a late night burger and a beer... stumbled into the most perfect place for the two! Tulip Shop Tavern has a cute but low-key ambiance that I really enjoyed. I had heard good things about the burger so was very excited to try it and was not let down! Our service was incredibly friendly, I didn't get her name but she was the sweetest who gave quick yet relaxed service- perfect for the setting. I got the tavern burger, my boyfriend got the fair burger, and we shared the (MASSIVE) onion rings. We both loved the burgers so much. Sometimes when getting a smash burger I am left wanting more, but the size was just right to actually fill us up. The edges were real crispy and the patty was juicy and flavorful. The onion rings were fun and giant as well! Very crispy and fresh. We ended up just getting a draft beer to split but will definitely be back to try some cocktails and enjoy the burgers again! read more

Get the double double smash burger and thank me later. It was quite possibly the most perfectly cooked smash burger patty I've eaten. Crazy good.

Best burger in PDX hands down. A true smash burger the way it should be. Fries are also great and don't skip the side of queso. Small but good selection of beers on tap and attentive service. It's a bar atmosphere and a bit loud but totally worth it. I need to try their chicken sandwich but I just can't say know to the burger. read more

My beef consumption has declined over the years, but Tulip Shop is the kind of place that makes it worthwhile to go against the grain and travel here from any part of the city for a burger. Our server warned us that the kitchen may take a while to prepare our food, but since the drinks arrived quickly and we had a comfortable place to sit, this wasn't a hardship. The decor goes perfectly with the menu - kind of dark and dive-barish, but lacking a layer of grime/grease on either the food or the furnishings, and feeling very comfortable in ganeral. I can't claim to be an expert on smash burgers, but the one I found at Tulip Shop had all the qualities that I was hoping for. You could count the number of onion rings in an order on one hand, but their size was truly impressive. read more

I need to figure out a time to go there when it's not so dang busy. I always end up waiting a good 45 minutes or more for my burger. By then I have had a couple of beers which are pretty filling. Burgers are pretty good. I do also enjoy the chicken sandwich. I do like their fries a lot as well. They're usually cooked pretty good. They have a bunch of different dipping sauces which I mean, who doesn't love to dip! They have a patio Outback, which is nice if you can score one of those tables. It's not as loud out there either. read more

I've had Tulip Tavern on my list for a while ever since a friend said how good their burgers were so I had to stop by the next time I was a craving a burger and fries. We came during a weekend and it's pretty packed but the patio area outside was unassuming since you can't really see it when you walk up to the place. I'd recommend heading straight to the back as tables are first come, first serve and they have staff coming around to take your orders. The tables have QR codes so you can check the menu but do yourself a favor and get their Tavern Burger and onion rings. Solid smash burger with crispy edges and melty cheese. The bun holds up well and has a tangy sauce. The onion rings are massive but stay together similar to Ringside onion rings. Also tried the fried chicken sandwich and it had a nice crunch. You can't really go wrong with any of the options but they're pretty filling so you can definitely share. read more

After seeing this place on a reel or something, I decided to drive here and check it out. Had to drive around a little bit to find a place to park that wasn't too far Kind of a dive bar vibe when you walk in. Very friendly bartender. Told me to sit wherever I wanted. They had table service. I walked through and sitting in the back in the outside area with picnic tables. Servercame pretty quickly.. I ordered a lager on tap. She brought it within minutes and it was freezing cold and tasty. I ordered a double burger. No size. I was alone. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to eat everything. I saw the french fries at the table next to me and they looked delicious. I probably waited 15 minutes for my burger. When it came, I was amazed. It was so huge. Perfect looking Smashburger. The sauce was really good and I enjoyed the shredded iceberg. The cheese is super melting in between the patties. It was a delicious first bite.. This burger is pretty messy and a little greasy. Not in a bad way though. I thoroughly enjoyed it and ate almost the whole thing. It was too big for me to finish. Believe me I tried. Their menu looked really good and I would like to come back with a friend so I could try some other things. And maybe just get a single next time! read more

Most times in super divey bar, you're going to get one of two things with food. It's either going to be very basic and not great. Or it's going to be a gem. Not as many gems but this place was it. It's Portland, so it's hard to expect to know where you would get one of the best burgers in the city. I can tell you one of them is in this bar though. I was too excited and didn't even get a picture of the burger. But let's be honest it had real meaty flavor that stood out amongst all the flavors. If you want that real fresh basic burger taste then this is that. Also, had the bologna sandwich. It was nostalgic, but stick to the burger. I've heard when there is a Philly cheesesteak available that's also a must. What a find this place is. But honestly the secrets already out. (4.8 stars) read more

Everyone was friendly and welcoming, we sat on the patio since the interior felt a bit too dark for an afternoon outing. The patio provided sufficient shelter but it was a bit too buggy with fruit flies which were quite persistent. The burger was super crunchy, like it was coated in panko. A server told me they fry it (presuming it's deep fried(?) based on the texture. The food was flavorful, but it was intensely greasy. This was one of those splurge meals when you crave that type of food. I would recommend the place for the service and menu selection, but not sure if it's my style of dining. read more

This place will literally damage your ears. I really want to frequent this place, and the food here is really good. But I just cannot come back to this establishment and I'll explain why. They bump up the music so loud, I'm guessing in an effort to drown out conversations from other tables. The problem is, people start speaking louder so they can hear each other, and as a result, the music gets turned up even louder. If you go in when it's dead, maybe you can hear the person across from you, but if you go in when they're half busy, you won't even be able to have a conversation. A few things that really don't help this, the fact that the place is all cement or concrete, makes the sound bounce even more. Maybe some rugs, or tapestries on the walls would help dampen the acoustics. Normally I couldn't care less about what kind of music is played, but the fact that this loud music is screamo punk grunge music, makes it deafening. Not only am I struggling to hear the person next to me, I have to compete with some high-pitched distorted frequencies that dominate the audio spectrum. I have tinnitus as well, so on top of not being able to hear anyone I'm with, it exacerbates my tinnitus and I leave with a ring in my ears. I get that my tinnitus is a personal problem, but it would be nice if there was at least an option to not be defend for a burger. I'm not some old curmudgeon, that just thinks things are too loud. I know I have heard others expressed the same concerns, and avoid this restaurant for the same reasons. Again, the food is really good, and perhaps if you can go in during a slow time it might be worth it. But unfortunately, this place is dead to me now unless they can turn down the volume, and work on the acoustics just a bit. It just sucks because last time I was in, the people I was with we couldn't even have a conversation. We all sat there shouting at each other, constantly going "what!?". On top of the ringing in the ears afterwards. If you're looking to enjoy some food with friends, and have a conversation, you probably want to check other options. read more

The reviews for the smash burger looked amazing and so we decided that it was worth the drive to try them out . The restaurant has a very local dive bar feel and was very full for a random Monday late night .There is a back patio but it was just an extremely cold and rainy evening to try that out. Drinks - They have a selection of cocktails and NA beverages . The Beer and wine selection is limited though . We got a Penicillin and a lager . Both me and my husband agreed that the Penicillin was top notch . Food -We got the Patty Melt and an order of fries as well as a salad with Fried Chicken Thigh . I found it a tad bit weird that they replaced the bun with a piece of bread ... but the lure of two patties was just too good to let go ! Nevertheless , it tasted fantastic and hit all the right spots . The salad was a nice compliment to the greasy burger . Our server was nice, but she was extremely busy and so it was a challenge to get her attention for ordering or even for the cheque . I would have to acknowledge that there were a lot of customers and just two servers so not really a complaint on service but more like a warning that the wait times can be long. read more

Super cute little bar. Dim lit w/ nice amount of seating. Really nice outdoor patio with a good amount of seating as well. We started with the loaded fries and a wedge salad, a daiquiri and an IPA. The fries were crispy, dressed will in queso, peppers, and bacon. Absolutely delicious. When you see the fries themselves, you may think they are gonna be soggy and they most def are not! Perfect crisp. The wedge salad had a pickled celery in place of your normal green onion and that was a really nice twist. Celery is so underrated. Both drinks were legit as well. We both got the Fair Burger and added bacon and grilled jalapeños. It was fire!!! Came here after reading an Eater review about the burger being one of the best. It was solid and it didn't disappoint. Staff was super friendly, quick, and efficient. We would definitely come back! read more
