Helvetia Tavern

Hillsboro, Oregon.

A fucking huge 16 oz hamburger, fries cut with skins on, and....

the coldest beer in the PDX area. By the time it hits your table, it has a layer of ice across it.

That In n Out in Sand Diego is pretty damn good too.

If we're talking franchised places and not one-of-a-kind joints ... no question.

I must've eaten there twice a day when I was in Long Beach for a short trip a couple of years ago. Folks in the middle of the country have no idea. RACK it.

Why the fuck can't they open a franchise here? :x

P.S. Sissyroo has made some idiotic posts, but he has got to be trolling in this thread. McDonald's is four-star fine cuisine compared to fucking Whataburger. Are you kidding me? I wouldn't feed that shit to my dogs.

Because it's family-owned and not a franchise chain. They also include Bible citations on their cups & wrappers.

The Bible citations are all the more reason why they'd fit in perfect here. Hell, they probably have family here.

In Nashville, fat Mo's is king. It is a local chain. Awesome gigantic burgers. Get it with the grilled onions, mushrooms and jalapenoes. Don't go there wearing nice clothes that are hard to clean. You will make a mess.

That place is just a step (or half a step) above White Castle. It's considered the place to go after a night of drinking. There's better places in this town (although I can't think of the names of any at this moment.

Favorite place in San Diego was George Burgers in San Marcos & Escondido. Huge burgers & great steak fries.

Angelo's comes a close second.

And I'm glad to hear that Alaska Air is handing out scriptures. With all that's been in the news about them lately praying during their flights isn't a bad idea.

the Cheeseburger and fries at
IN & OUT in SoCal was as fine a plate full
of grease as I've ever consumed !!

honestly I'd just as soon down a couple of
99¢ Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers at Wendy's !

Favorite local burger joint: Nisker's

Screw_Michigan...can you back me up on that?

TenTallBen · Post by **TenTallBen** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 2:58 am

Sorry. In & Out is pretty good if you feel like sitting in the drive-thru for 20 minutes but I wouldn't consider it a "burger joint" - It's a chain just not a franchise.

This is a fucking burger joint...

Market Grill in the Farmer's Market is my local favorite.

Fresh burgers and steak sandwhiches that literally taste like they just came off the grill.

Harvdog · Post by **Harvdog** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 8:42 pm

Big Kahauna Burger sure is a tasty burger.

Rack Thurman's in C-Bus. The Thurman Burger is a monster.

BBMarley · Post by **BBMarley** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 12:41 am

5 guys burgers and fries... Burgers anyway you like. Haven't had one in a while- but I liked mine with Bar-B-Q sauce Fried Onions and Sauteed Mushrooms. Also do their fries in peanut oil so they taste like boardwalk fries. Kick Ass!!!!

Michigan definitely went out with a wimper. They started so well but the wheels fell off around the time of the GLI.

State's still alive but I'm not rooting for them to beat Maine today. I'll root for all of the other CCHA teams before them.

They have their menu on the site...

Before I saw either your or Derron's posts, I read that article and thought "who the hgell wrote this? Helvetia kills Stanich's.

I'll be working up the street from Helvetia a bunch this week. Actually, I'm out in those close-in boondocks on a very frequent basis.

Whole buncha Westsiders representing up in this beyotch...RACK, even though RacerX turned to the Dark Side (of the river).
