Schmunch Burger

They're now located at Prescott and NE 71st. Best burger in the city? For years, it was Cafe Castagna, then Burger Stevens held the accolade. Now, Schmunch quickly comes to mind. It's a perfect burger: hand held (not a towering monstrosity that requires a knife and fork), gooey cheese (you get your choice), tart pickles, caramelized onions, and a soft buttery roll that sops-up the juices. Tastier than some of the new age buns and much better than old school sesame seed. It doesn't include chain fast food-style iceberg lettuce and tomato, a good thing. The juicy homemade beef and pork patty is thin, but not Smashburger thin.Lastly, the basic burger which includes cheese, has one of the most attractive price points in town.Fries were meh, the rest of the menu is enticing. Cool owner...come check it out!

I was really impressed with my experience at Schmunch Burger. The service was good and the food was better. Me and my partner split a cheeseburger, fries, Mac salad, and schnitzel strips. They have really awesome sauces as well. The Schmunch Burger patty is a beef and pork blend I believe, and it was very tasty. I had my burger with American cheese. It comes with a tomato, shredded lettuce and Schmunch sauce. Recommend!I was surprised how much I liked the pork schnitzel strips. They are basically like chicken strips, and I really enjoyed them. We got 4 good sized strips in an order. You can choose between a ranch or chili sprinkle. I got the ranch sprinkle, which was just a light dusting and added great flavor. A unique offering that is worth trying! The fries were good and there were more than enough to split with my partner. I wanted to try the mac salad and it was one of the best I've had in a long time. They use an interesting spiral pasta, and it had lots of cabbage/veggies incorporated in. It is mayonnaise based, but perfectly coated. I hate when mac salad has too much mayo. Definitely worth a try.We tried several sauces including, creamy dill, honey mustard, chipotle garlic aioli, and the schmunch sauce. All really good. The honey mustard was solid, but I think my favorite was the chipotle garlic aioli. I'll be back for sure!

Amazing burger and fries--can't get over how scrumptious this burger was! I tried the D-48 and partner had the veggie burger. Best burger in Portland IMO. And the fries are equally delicious ...so happy this place is less than a mile from me our house. Will be returning soon!

Honestly a fantastic burger. Compared to where I'm from, I don't think of Portland as a big burger place--I never seem to find one that's quite up to my standard...HOWEVER! This burger is So Good! I wish I'd known earlier that such a good burger was so close to me. I had the Oui Brie (it was 10/10 amazing) Brie and apple is Always a good combo in my opinion! I also ordered a basket of fries. My friend is a big fan of the veggie burger that they have. Nice little food cart in the Powell Food cart pod. Ample outdoor seating, and the bar window at John's marketplace sells a variety of beer and wine (in the glass) if you're looking to pair your burger with a nice drink. Service was fast especially considering how busy it was when I came (Oktoberfest event). Will be returning!

Pretty tasty overall and super fresh! The staff are friendly, kind, and knew a lot about the menu. I really enjoyed the veggie burger and liked that they make their own patties. It was a touch sweeter than I normally would have liked, but I think that was maybe due to the combo of the sauce with the caramelized onions. Adding some hot sauce helped to balance it all out. Glad to have another yummy option at this food cart pod!

This place is great! Perfect size little burgers, and good fries. I love the pasta they use for the mac & cheese, the portion size is big for $9. The woman working was very kind, I will definitely come back!

What a great burger. I had the big cheese, lb, grilled Colby Jack bun with melted cheddar and Swiss with caramelized onions to make its own umami sauce with the burger juices. Spectacular.

Best burger in Portland! D 48 with the raspberry ghost chili aioli is where it's at! Been back several times and tried the big cheese and the veggie patty and all are amazing!

Excellent burgers and another plus is it's right next to a great bottle shop. The bison burger and the regular burger were really good. The fries were also excellent. We also tried the mac and cheese with the crumbles and bacon and enjoyed it a lot!

The new location on NE Prescott is great, the beer place next door has good selection. Schmunch Burger is hands down the best veggie burger I've ever had!! They are house-made and SO GOOD! The Supa Schmunch Burger with bacon is my other go-to, which is also one of the best smash burgers I've ever had! Again, SO GOOD! They have multiple sauces to choose from, the house Schmunch Sauce is awesome! I haven't tried the others. Solid fries too. The owner and other staff are super friendly, welcoming, and seem genuinely passionate about the food they're creating. Truly an amazing experience every time. Schmunch Burger is a staple, we go at least once per week
