Various Locations Across the Pacific Northwest
$-$$
What can I say about Burgerville. They are passionate about the Pacific Northwest. If they were not they would have surely taken the whole country by storm. Every dish is very fresh, and some dishes are only available when the ingredients are at the peak of their season, but the wait is worth it. I'm sure that if Burgerville was available in my area I would eat lunch there practically every day. Try the Tillamook Cheeseburger, or the Northwest Halibut Fish & Chips, and have whatever is on the seasonal menu

Great Hot Dogs and Sausages, but too much bun. Try "The Oregon Smokey" a house favorite, is spicy, smoky and garlicky, and it even contains blackstrap molasses. A little pricey for hot dogs, but the flavour is worth it.

Great German pub food. A cut above the rest. Large portions and high quality ingredients (Especially great sausages) make this place not to miss. For a German take on a classic swiss dish try the fondue, but everything here is fantastic
