A nostalgic food cart elevating the classic cheeseburger. What began as a pop up in the Mid City neighborhood of New Orleans, the food cart’s meteoric rise has helped to put the classic smash burger on the map. Since opening, MidCity SmashedBurger has achieved great critical acclaim in publications including Forbes, Oregonian and Portland Monthly, sold thousands of burgers, and staked claim to the best cheeseburger in Portland. Prepared with 80/20 PNW beef sourced from Eastern Washington, the classic Smashy Boi is smashed flat beneath a cast-iron press, resulting in thin and crispy patties. The burgers are covered in American cheese, and our signature SmashSauce, and served up on Franz Bakery buns, for an affordable $6 price tag!

Burgers hold a special place in my heart. They are a fundamental litmus test of cuisine. Their simplicity puts them in the perfect position to measure a chef’s aptitude to monitor the quality and preparation of ingredients, and to ensure a harmony of textures and flavors in each bite.
This spot knows how to burger. I am fortunate to live in the area so it has become my regular burger spot. Even if I lived elsewhere, I would happily make the trek. Ian can work a flat top grill as well as the best of them. The patties are always perfectly crisped, yet juicy. The buns and toppings all seem to know their roles and play them flawlessly. The experience is a thing of beauty. It’s a west side sure shot. If you are in the west Portland/Beaverton/Tigard area, this is your burger spot.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming, even when dealing with countless orders simultaneously – which they often are, they are highly popular and rightly so! The food is always fresh, prepared quickly, and CONSISTENT!! They have the process mastered.
The location is also superb. The local beer hall pairs perfectly with the smash burgers and is a great spot to hang out for hours on a nice lazy weekend or rainy day. I’ve been coming here every Sunday for over a year and I don’t intend to stop soon!
The sauce is stand out and the staff are excellent.
Make sure you add veg!!
Staff is always friendly, prices are great, as a burger lover I can’t recommend this place enough.
I love smash burgers, I love fries, especially crinkly ones like they had, and I can be pretty understanding that not all food is going to come out stellar every time, but this was just bad. It wasn’t even piled well and I had to essentially remake it myself. A bunch of the burger was hanging off one side leaving the other side with nothing but bun and lettuce. The bun was cold and smashed and felt slightly stale, like when you leave it out uncovered for too long and it has that gross outer hardness. The cheese, the small amount there was, only covered one side of the burger. And the bacon was possibly the saddest part of the whole mess. First, I didn’t realize it was possible to cut bacon this thin, I have pieces of paper thicker than this bacon. It was also 80% fat. Putting this razor thin piece of undercooked fat on my burger and calling it bacon is just insulting.
To top it off the guy working was terrible. He took his time wandering over to take my order then seemed to get pissy when I only tipped $1. I might have tipped more if I hadn’t been left standing for so long or if he was in any way friendly, but food quality shouldn’t be based on that anyway (one reason I hate tipping ahead of receiving the actual service and food). There weren’t other customers there, he wasn’t working on cooking another order, he just took his sweet time. When my order was ready (which was after a couple who ordered behind me) he kinda shoved it out the window toward me and mumbled “ready”. I spent many years in service industry and will overtip easily, but I’ll also call out horrible service when it happens. And this was horrible service.
So I’m sad to say the smash burger I’d looked forward to trying for so long was not just a letdown, it was downright bad. In sooo many ways. Did I mention my fries had a big hole in the bag? So the few that weren’t mushy fell out as soon as I took them out. Guess it’s just another food cart living off undeserved hype.
