Love this little place! Randomly stopped in before an appointment just looking to get some coffee but was pleasantly surprised to see this old-fashioned burger shack has a whole dedicated vegan menu! Very reasonable prices too!
I got the Beyond Chicken Wrap and it really hit the spot, especially for the price.
The waitress was so kind and cool too. Granted I was one of maybe three customers in the whole place but her vibe was great. Wish I could remember her name 🙁

I would come here more often if I lived closer.

Had not eaten here in over 20 years but so glad I visited again. The service was top notch. Talked with both the cashier and the cook and they very nice and friendly. The food is simply good old fashioned hamburgers, Mine was great. I also ordered curley fries which were ok. But the burger was flavorable and their house sauce was excellent.

Step back in time and relax in this old time burger shop, it’s like a living time capsule just full of history. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Great place for date night with the wife. We had bacon a cheeseburgers fries and a chocolate shake . This is a must see place when in Portland
Highly recommended. Definitely worth it.

Went back for a second time and just like the first time it was excellent the burgers are fries were delicious. Lots of memories to look at while you wait for your food. Love this place.

This is the first review I have left for a place that I have been to several times over the decades (yes, the decades). My first experience with Jim Dandies dates all the way back to 1972 when I was just a poor college student. But they have always been consistent and put out a tasty product with fresh ingredients and awesome milkshakes. Today was no exception. I ordered a basic Bacon Cheeseburger with Tater Tots. The sesame seed bun was soft and fresh. The lettuce fresh and crispy. The onions were fresh and did not overpower the flavor of the burger. The burger was a 1/4 lb. Patty and grilled perfectly. You do have the option of requesting the level of doneness. The Bacon was meaty and flavorful. It was crispy and not limp. American cheese was added. They have a house “secret sauce” that they use. The tots were cooked perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and hot in the middle. The interior looks just like it has for decades but it is clean and orderly. The floors, walls, booths, chairs. Etc have all been well maintained. The nostalgia is thick. It is not a car hop type of place but it certainly has much Portland culture and history on the walls. There are periodic car rallies and shines. The staff were awesome, friendly and attentive. There is a Vegan menu. They have updated and added a couple of corners which contain gaming machines. Minors only signs are posted. Are the expensive gourmet burgers nope !!! But the prices are great and the food is tasty. I will continue to return here over more years. Think I should have a meal of Tots and a Chocolate Shake next time !!!

Food is never perfect anywhereyou go! Although, Matthew makes a killer patti melt. I appreciate the small team there, they are nice people. I go here not for the food. I go as it reminds me of our burger/pizza restaurant we had in California 34′-78′ that I worked at as a kid. Also, that it is quiet and I go to relax and have a meal.

Great place to go for local American Comfort food. Was extremely busy and A small wait time but was very worth it. The milkshake was Delicious. Thick but not too heavy to suck through the straw with very consistent flavor. The Double bacon cheeseburger was done properly. A lot of flavor. Seasoned well. Crispy bacon with full flavor. Definitely will be going back to this place. as it has been around 100yr or so for good reason.

This is a total throwback greasy spoonkinda joint. Not a glamorous recast but gritty and old. You might love it but it’s not for everyone. Great milkshakes! I had a pastrami sandwich one time that was pretty good. Neighborhood kinda sketchy but people bring kids here.

The hot dogs are terrible. Way overcooked and shriveled. I ordered a split dog, was not given a split dog. The onion rings were also way overcooked and had no flavor, otherwise. There was 1 guy there who was very friendly, the guy in the back was disgruntled and the older lady up front was quasi nice but very confused. If you are looking for a nice plump dog or something actually grilled I would look elsewhere. I’m still on the hunt for a good hot dog.

The place is super charming! The polish dog was perfect…and the shake flavors are insane! So many to choose from…I got the Black Forest cherry – it was great!

Solid burger and sides. The service is always fantastic and incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is essentially a time capsule of Portland with old toys and newspapers all over the restaurant.
