From their menu: "Fresh, 100% Country Natural Beef" Still good stuff. I think that's what New Seasons sells, too. Laura–Burgerville ain’t organic, either.

Still good stuff. I think that’s what New Seasons sells, too.

Just thinking about that burger makes me hungry. They have a decent meatloaf, too, not as good as Sckavone's, but pretty good. Actually, stick Sckavone's on your Burger Tour, their burgers are pretty decent. Damnit, now I’m homesick for the Fifth Quadrant. Just thinking about that burger makes me hungry.

Add the combo basket at another $2.50 and you're topping out at $6.79.

Eating at Amnesia and eating at Burgerville are two completely different experiences. Yeah, if I don't have the time to sit and eat a meal and there is a Burgerville close (and I am in a car which is rarely) then I may go to Burgerville. But I am not going to Amnesia or any of the other places because I want a quick burger. I am going there for something entirely different - it is called ambiance and experience. Once again, broad generalizations and comparisons are a bit off the mark. Hold the sarcastic phone here sir. Eating at Amnesia and eating at Burgerville are two completely different experiences.

The Rogue pub at 14th & Everett has a tasty Kobe beef burger, although they know exactly how good it is and charge you accordingly. Carafe (on Market St. near the Keller fountain) has a great burger, and even if they didn't, it's worth it just for the fries. Mmmmm.... And if you want an inexpensive fast food burger, Burgerville isn't bad at all. It's way better than it needs to be as a fast food joint, anyway. FWIW, I've also been told that Stars Cabaret out in Beaverton does a good burger, if you don't mind rampant nudity with your meal...

I make it a point to tell bloggers when they're getting a bit whiny. Since rectum rot like Burger King and Carls Jr. are selling burgers at $4 and $5 respectively, I think you are suffering from Old Man Doesn't Understand Inflation Syndrome (OMDUIS). If $8 for a "pub burger" is too high for you, hit up a different pub. Maybe, and I know this may be shockng to you, but maybe Amnesia is shooting at a higher target. As for burgers I like it town - Higgins, Le Pigeon, Cafe Castagna, Bluehour, Simpatica and Alberta Oyster all have pretty consistently outstanding burgers. LHH is okay. Will pick up a Mike's Special occasionally as well. No problem. I make it a point to tell bloggers when they’re getting a bit whiny.
