Tillamook Cheeseburger $3.29 from Burgerville
August 26th, 2007
On our way out of Portland this morning we stopped at one of the 39 Burgerville restaurants serving Oregon and Washington. My wife and I both ordered Tillamook Cheeseburgers (no fries). The burgers were fantastic and the service was great as well. This morning we didn’t know anything about the chain–didn’t even know it is a chain. I’m educated now.
Burgerville is to the Northwest what In-N-Out is to Southern California. The company only uses fresh, local ingredients including Country Natural Beef, and the ever-so-wonderful, Tillamook Cheese. The first Burgerville was opened in Vancouver, Washington in 1961.
I don’t need a burger to be made out of fresh, local, sustainable ingredients before I’ll enjoy it, but I think Burgerville’s commitment to those prinicples is noticible in the taste. Now, I can’t wait to get back to Oregon!

Have you found any good burger places around DFW? Mooyah (I know of 1 in Plano) is trying ot do the In-n-Out thing. Lee Harvery’s (more of a bar) has one of the best burgers I’ve ever had ever. You fond any others?
