Helfer’s On 3rd

First time in. Cute inside. Nice patio during good weather. Wife tried the mushroom burger special with fries for $12. Loved it. Burger tasty, onions cooked right, bun good etc.Fries are good. Steak fries are soft cooked. Similar to McMenamins I tried the Gresham dog on a gluten free bun at $12+3 for the gf bun.Comes with coney chili, fried potatoes, cheese and ranch dressing. Couldn't find the cheese but that's fineTasty, I got a little extra ranch.Owner was on site. Seemed nice. Discussed some future plans for rib night, family friendly karaoke night Service was great. Our server was great. Very friendly and accommodating.They have GREAT specials

Today I decided it was time to get out in the heat wave and get some lunch with my daughter. This place was new to me and looked like a nice spot to try.When we arrived we were instantly greeted and seated. The hostess immediately came and took our drink order, explained the specials and answered our questions. She was great. Food showed up in a timely manner.We ordered the BBQ tossed hot wings to start. They were great. Meaty, crispy and tender! Yum.We Both also ordered the hand dipped corn dogs. Without a doubt, they were some of the best we've ever had. Fries were also very good. I'll eat here again to try to the gourmet hotdogs. I hope this business does well.

I recently read an article in regard to this restaurant and was excited to have something new in the neighborhood to try! My son wanted to take me to lunch, and I suggested we go.After cruising Farmers Market, we popped in. It didn't seem too busy, the sign said seat yourself, and so we did. ...and we waited... finally my son got up and asked for menus. Again...we waited.... I place no blame on the waitress, but the problem is that there was only one. The owner was helping out here and there, when he wasn't playing video poker. He did indeed come and take our order after I made awkward eye contact. Again...we waited... How long does it really take to make a hotdog? Finally we receive "our" food.... But it didn't look like our food. For example we had both ordered fries, but got chips. We both ordered the New York hotdog. I specifically looked to ensure there was no ketchup on top of this hotdog on the menu, as I'm not a big fan. These hotdogs clearly had ketchup. So, they took away the food, before bringing it back. I did see the waitress/owner looking at the menu, to confirm what I stated about the ketchup. We never got fries, the hotdogs sucked. I was super disappointed... and even more so that they charged us for the hotdogs that were made incorrectly and not eaten.Super bummed

Nice enough place... Almost like a bar you can bring your kids to? Not a lot of places to get a hot dog and they have a full menu of big Costco sized dogs for a not unreasonable amount of money. I ha the burger on Texas toast and it came with fries for $13, however some of the hot dogs were $12-13 which is good if they came with fries but they don't, they come with chips, fries are 4 more dollars and are grocery store variety crinkle cuts... Not sure why the burger is cheaper than a hot dog... The burger was pretty good. My family seemed to enjoy their hot dogs. We had a couple beers that were good but not cheap by any means. It's not overpriced but the place has kind of a bargain feel, I think I would have liked it more it was like a "wow that was cheap experience". If you're gonna charge $12-13 for a hot dog include fries or maybe a 2 dollar upcharge 4 bucks is too much for a hand full of crinkle cuts. Lottery cheapens the place a bit and makes it feel more like a bar than it should. It's not a bad place.

Best chocolate Oreo milkshake ever. Brought my granddaughter there and she loved her meal and the shake, served up old fashion style in the stainless steel cups, enough for three. Burgers and dogs are a hit, with daily specials. And, after 6 PM, check out their downstairs for a fun whiskey/tini bar.

Cheyenne (not sure of the spelling) is amazing. She is kind and attentive. Loved my hotdog and drink. Will be back in the future to try other menu items. I wanted to see the speak easy down stairs but it is only open Thursday-Saturday for now which I understand. It takes staffing and money to run on days that may not be profitable. However, people here today have asked about it so maybe a Sunday will be added in the future with limited hours. Until then I'll have to wait for vacation to roll around. If you are in Gresham please support Helfer's on 3rd.

The waitress was the first thing we saw upon entering the restaurant. What a great greeter. Showed us to a booth, as well gave us menus, and returned with in seconds with ice water. Took our drink orders and was back in a flash. (Pretty quiet time of day). Anyway I had heard they had hand-dipped pronto pups, so that's what I ordered, with onion rings, the pup was great, maybe 3 onion rings, should have gotten fries! Val had a burger which came with all the trimmings, she said it was great, again maybe 3 onion rings. Felt a little bit ripped off with so few onion rings. About $30.00 for lunch, not bad I guess including one pino griego! I stuck with ice water. Huge bar and lots of video poker! I may go back and try their French fries! Great waitress!!!

Excellent service; we sat outside and our doggos were treated very well. Ordered a couple hot dogs and both greatly exceed expectations. Whatever dog/sausage they're using is excellent and has a wonderful grilled taste. Also love the grilled onions. We'll definitely be working our way through the menu.

We have been twice and the service was above and beyond! It's a place that friendly to Mom's and kiddos meeting up as it is family friendly! The hand dipped corn dog was huge and delicious! Best place for fries IMO! Burger was hardy and meat was really good! It a nice little hangout!

My husband and I absolutely love going here. We love the fact that it's kid friendly, which allows us to bring our son, niece and nephew. We love the service! The corn dogs are amazing. Our nephew loves the cheeseburgers. The fries are my absolute favorite. Well just overall everything is delicious. Definitely recommend it if you're craving a corn dog, hot dog, or hamburger!
