    Burger of month the cowboy
    Melissa J.

    Been following them on insta so when we visited Portland we knew we had to make a stop !!! What a smashing good burger ! We went with the burger of the month combo : the cowboy - homemade bbq sauce,cheese, onion rings, bacon and pickles. Also couldn't leave without some cheese curds . Everything was well seasoned and delicious. The only thing was the portion of ranch , either get smaller ramekins or fill them up . The ranch was definitely good !!!

    If you're in the mood for a really good greasy smash burger, this is the place! It's a little hard to find but definitely worth it. The burger itself was not dried out and was super tasty. The curly fries were seasoned really well and nice and crispy. We will definitely be back.

    Crab Rangoon Burger
    Mihir P.

    A fantastic smash burger spot across the water on Portland's east side. The inside is a cozy diner-style space that's clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We came with a group of 10, and the service was impressively fast, they even had a table reserved for us. The food was on another level. I had the Crab Rangoon Burger (their burger of the month), and it was incredible with the perfect balance of savory beef and rich crab. The curly fries were perfectly crispy, and the ranch was a solid 10/10.

    Olive oil & salt malt

    I saw this place on insta so took a solo lunch date, ordered the single smash, cheese curds, curly fries, and olive oil & sea salt malt. The gal working the front taking my order really lacked personality, and the place was very potent with oil smell, like you're going to smell like it when you leave. 3 tables in the back to sit at or chairs lined up next to eachother for a "bar" like seating which is great for solo and with one other person. Otherwise, food came out fast and steaming hot! The burger lacked seasoning tremendously, not very much flavor with the sauce either, just tasted like meat so I ate maybe half. The cheese curds and curly fries were so good!! Their ranch is THE BEST. Music was like dance/trance which I enjoyed as I like that kind of music. The olive oil malt was deeeeeelish too. I don't think I'll be back, but if in the area I'd get some curds to go.

    Absolute hidden gem! When I say hidden, I mean hidden. I was looking right at it and wasn't sure it was there. Stepping through the front door I was greeted with some fun taxidermy. Being a native upper midwesterner this made me feel right at home. We ordered at the register (order #1... score!!!), and grabbed a table in the back. The music was rocking and the smell coming off the grills was making me soooo hungry! The food was out fast and it was fantastic! We each had a double and they were all good! The smash on the burger was spot on! The Maillard reaction was perfect! The bun was soft and fresh and the pickles had a great flavor. I got a side of the cheese curds and they were everything you would hope for! The batter was a nice golden brown and the cheese had a good pull to it! Great food, great service! Take the time to find Wolf's Head, it is worth a visit!!!

    Curly Fries

    Craving a smash burger, this place came up with good reviews. We arrived around 11:30am am parked around the corner from the restaurant. The restaurant was empty and the woman behind the counter welcomed us in. The restaurant was long and narrow with the front area (where you order and wait for to go orders) then walk down the hall past the kitchen to a few tables to eat at. The woman was helpful and present. We ordered the double cheeseburger and curly fries to go. We were home and eating in 15 minutes. The burger was exactly what I was hoping for - juicy, crisp pieces and a good amount of cheese and dressing. The fries were well seasoned but could have been crispier. We'll definitely return

    Finally got a chance to check out Wolf's Head Burger. If you're looking for a spot that offers fantastic, reasonably priced smash burgers.. this is the place. The small menu is a lifesaver for anyone prone to decision paralysis. The burger itself is great: the soft bun is filling, and the patty has that perfect, savory flavor with just the right amount of grease oozing out of your fresh, made to order meal. They only offer seasoned curly fries, but it's a generous serving that easily feeds two people. Just a few things to note: seating is small and limited on busy days, and be prepared to smell like burgers if you dine in!

    Smash burgers, cheese, curds, and milk milkshakes
    Elizabeth B.

    If you're like me, smash burgers or one of your favorites! We have several good smash burgers in Portland, but I feel like the sides are never quite adequate. The smash burgers were nice and Lacey thin with crispy edges.. the American cheese just oozed, the bun was nice and soft. For the sides, I usually would prefer a nice in shoe string french fry but I found a whole new level of delicious with these nice hot crispy and gooey cheese curds. To top it all off having that bolt milkshake just really tight everything together! Service was great and fast we were served within 10 to 15 minutes of arriving. Ambience remind you of an old diner in the Midwest.! if you're looking for a nice quick smash burger with flashback to childhood a milkshake this is where you wanna go!

    A lowkey smash burger spot just across the water on the Eastside. Inside is small but cozy, classic diner vibe. Tables can be hard to come by during busy hours though. Staffs were very friendly despite being super busy. I enjoyed their Burger Week burger with very crispy and thin patty and unique Pretzel Chili Crisp. Curly Fries were nice and crispy as well. Would be back for the Malt Shakes and Cheese Curds next.

    Double Patty Burger

    A new contender has entered the arena. A new contender for best burger in the city! Yes Wolf's Head is for real. Good luck finding it. You're doing to get off on highway 99 near the Hawthorne bridge. Once you feel sufficiently lost and a little sketched out, that's right where you'll find this place. If you're lucky enough to find it, buckle up for some really good burgers. Classic smash burgers with some rotating specials. Oh you heard about the Malts? Yeah get your word a malt. It's legit legit. Loaded fries are as good as you would think. Is it the best in the city? Some might say so. I won't reveal my official rankings, but wolf's head is on there. (4.8 Stars)

    The food was great! I got the single combo cheeseburger and everything was so tasty. The milkshake was good as well. The service was great and everyone was super nice.

    Got the cheeseburger and the double deluxe and they were flavorful and the meat was nice and charred. You want a good smash burger at a good price, try 'em!

    Single Patty Burger

    Seriously great burger. I would have never found this place without someone telling me where it is. Even so, took me a second to find the entrance. It was empty when I got there, got a table fine, and ate there no problem. Be careful of the train tracks outside. One of my favorite burgers in town.

Corn Ribs were very tasty as well. I'd say very inspired by a LA Elote from the elote man. Service was great. Really sold me on getting this combo as it was Their favorites. If you have the time come by and check this out!

    This was an incredible introduction to the Portland food scene, delivering some of the best…read moresandwiches I've ever had. 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.
