ACROPOLIS

Now this next place isn’t your typical steak house, and it isn’t your typical strip club, it’s both. Acropolis Steakhouse Strip club, where I’ll be trying the Acrop “Colossal” Burger. The bigger is known across town to be one of the biggest burger in Portland. It is said that the colossal burger has up to 2lbs in patty and it served on a 14 inch bun. So I traveled across Portland to this steak house located on Se Mcloughlin Blvd.

When arriving to my destination, my first take on it was, it’s a strip club and not at all somewhere, where I’d see myself planning to eat. I noticed the building had a backside to it where you could ring a cow bell and order food outside and not come in. This is good for all of the people who’d rather not be in that environment or people who aren't old enough; they can still enjoy the food. I step inside and the place has a cover, nothing too big about five bucks. I didn’t mind paying for this because I knew it was to help pay for all the entertainment.  So I walk in, have a seat, and give the menu a quick glance. I notice that everything is fairly priced and has decent portions. I was told the owner owns a cow farm so they get really good high quality beef for a really good price. I order the colossal and enjoy the entertainment as I wait for my two pound baby. 

When the burger comes out, my eyes were open wide and my mouth was over filled with drool. For I had never seen a burger so big in my life, I mean so big it had to be heard together with a knife. I mean so big that I had to cut the burger in four to take a portion out to eat. So I bite into this massive goodness to find myself no so impressed. The patty was well flavored and almost seemed steak like and the burger was well put together. But the problem I was having with burger was it was too simple. Cheese, lettuce, and onion as simple as you could get. The burger needed bacon, grilled onion, or just something to add another flavor note. And for that I had to give the 2lb Acrop burger 2.5 out of 5. It’s a must see attraction, but go for the entertainment and the food not just the food.

The television is flooded with this places commercials yet you cant find one anywhere around the rose city. This is not a locally own business but more like a fast food chain. The burger and the service were so good I had to blog about it and tell everyone. Now the place I’m talking about is called Sonics Drive-in and this particular one was located in Tigard, Oregon.

So we pull in to Sonics, and I notice it is a drive in style restaurant. A drive in style restaurant consists of people driving up and parking in a parking spot that has a menu and telecom. You order your food through the telecom and someone brings it out on skates (This is a classic drive in method and was used in the late 70s and 80s). So we are parked and I began analyzing the menu. OMG. Talk about options burgers, fries, hotdogs, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, shakes, slushies’ and soda. Sonics has a little bit of everything. So i order their bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a cherry lime-aid and began to wait. About five minutes roll by and a Sonics employee rolls out on a pair of roller skates with my order and a huge smile on her face. "Here's your order sir," she said, and at that point I could choose to eat in the spot i was parked in, or drive home. So I did what any person would do in that situation and enjoyed my burger. Boy O boy, it was great. Nice thick cut crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, and a nice beefy patty. Sonics knows how to piece together a decent cheeseburger. If I could dis-create anything it would be the fact it is fast food, and I'm sure everything is mass produced, but Sonics is still a good burger joint. O yeah and there was the slushie, probably one of the best things created, and that's all I have to say about that. Sonics all in all, I would give a 3.5 star. Just because of the experience, great choices, and that dang slushie.

Most people who have lived in Portland, Oregon and are in love with cheeseburger have probably heard of this place called Stanichs. This burger joint is classic. Stanichs has been around for years serving up their special “World Famous” burger in the Rose City.

When arriving at the burger joint, I noticed it hadn’t changed one bit. Here it is 15 years later after first being served a World Famous and the décor is exactly the same. Also the serve has went downhill, I was there for about 5 minutes before I was greeted and had to seat myself. When finally helped I order my World Famous and a side of fries. Hoping that at least the burger was better than the service, I sat patiently waiting. Shortly my burger came out looking as pretty as can be. Same good look and body as I remembered, with a side of golden fried treats.  I bite into it and was instantly brought back to the first day I ever tried one. The ham, egg, onion, and cheese just really tickle my fancy and I was a happy man. One this that I could say was a little wrong with it, is you can tell it was thrown together. Everything wasn't evenly placed on the burger at all. In my opinion, all good burgers have balance. If I was to rate just the burger, Id give it a 3 out of 5. Burger with service 2 out of 5.

Roake's

    

When you think of an old school milkshake and burger diner in Portland, this is the type of place you might invasion. Rake’s is basically your cheesy, beefy, greasy burger joint, with really good classic burgers. Though located in the middle of nowhere, I believe this place is one of the better classic burgers in Portland.
 

During my visit I ordered their Nordious Maximus with a side of fries. If the name “Nordious Maximus” does hint size, when you see the burger it will blow your mind.  The Maximus is a quarter pound patty, topped with cheddar cheese, fried egg, ham, and BACON. Open eating it you’ll notice this burger is build perfectly and doesn’t lack flavor. My sides of fries were very crispy, salty, and fresh but due to the burgers size I didn’t eat much.



 

Overall, Id gives Roake’s 4 star out of five. Everything about that place was wonderful and the food is good.  The One thing I’d say this place could work on would be their location. Off of Columbia High way, it would take a lot of time explaining to someone on how to get there, because there nothing else around it. But besides that this place is a go. 

Little Big Burger

Little Big Burger is a great name for this place with a little burger and such big flavor.  The burger may not look like much but its patty, bun, cheese, and secret relish will have you two bites in wondering where the rest is. Though small and delicious the burger is about the same price as a normal size burger. This may leave customers to order another burger, or still a little hungry.  I personally enjoyed every bite from the first one to the last. I also thought their fries and ketchup were truly unique, and far better than any restaurant basic fries. Overall I’ll be back to little big Burger and I would also suggest it to others.
