Black Cow Burgers & Fries

"If you're in town for one night and you feel like having the best hamburger in town, this is your place! The fries are life-changing. Come once for the food. But you'll come every night for the service. This place is in old school bank. The nostalgia factor is through the roof with the decor."

"My husband and I stumbled upon this place and was not disappointed. Paid Parking is on the street and it's very difficult to find a spot. Inside is set up unique and has a funky vibe/atmosphere. Waitress was pleasant, beer was tasty and burgers were delicious! The bun was fluffy and light which didn't set heavy in the gut. The onions had a delightful flavor which made the burger flavorful! These onions were topped on our chili fries to which made the salty of the fries and combo of the sweet onions even better! So scrumptious!! I will definitely be back and with some friends!"

"The cheese hamburger was hot and fresh. I really enjoyed the bun. Our waiter was helpful and friendly. The location is pretty cool because it's a former bank. I ordered an orange cream soda, and it was life changing. I will definitely be back when I'm in Portland again."

"We unexpectedly stopped at the Black Cow seeking cool shelter during Portland’s rare 90 degree September heat. We, and our dog, were readily welcomed and seated inside. Sylvia was cheerful and attentive. We ordered two Maine Lunch, that were easily downed. Upon request Sylvia took several photos of the vintage vault door and vault that once were on the second floor. For history buffs this alone is worth the visit. We’ll gladly return and try their signature burgers."

"Had the mushroom swiss burger and we ordered the tray of fries for the group. Also shared an order of Brussels sprouts. All very good! Fries are the crispy, seasoned shoestring variety. Good selection of beverages, reasonable prices."
