Hamburger Mary's: Portland, OR

Hamburger Mary's is a decent-sized burger joint/bar/venue on 19 NW 5th Ave. in Portland, OR. It's got the ambiance of a club, but doesn't feel overwhelming or unwelcoming in any way. The walls are covered with memorabilia, including the Beatles art, a picture of Audrey Hepburn, a Wizard of Oz poster, and a catchy slogan "Eat, Drink, and be Mary." The place itself was very clean and the atmosphere was nice. The music wasn't too loud and was playing some actual good tunes. There were also two different movies or tv stations to watch on tvs in the bar, and a projection screen tv on the stage.

My server's name was Sarah and she was very helpful. She recommended that I try the Queen Mary which was a single patty burger with cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, lettuce and a special sauce. And to top it off, the burger was made with local ingredients.

I don't know if you can tell, but it was absolutely delcious. The bun was still warm and tasted amazing. The fries were seasoned with what tasted like cajun seasoning and they were hot and equally tasty. I'd rate this burger experience 5/5 out of the following categories: service, deliciousness of the burger, delicious looking-ness (presentation, can you eat this with your hands?) of the burger, cleanliness of the place, and overall satisfaction.
