I love fast food. Don't judge me, but I just do. Whenever we travel to a new state, I like to see if they have any chains that I can't get at home in NYC. Cali has In-n'-Out, Washington has Dick's (meh), and then I stumbled upon Little Big Burger while researching for 'fast food' places in Portland.
We ordered for delivery via Grub Hub one late Saturday night to our hotel. (FYI - Uber Eats has a lot of extra delivery/service fees so Grub Hub is the better option but if you can, order for pick-up instead, or directly from their site - which I didn't find out that you can until the time of this review). Here is everything we ordered:
The Ringer (1/4lb of cascade natural beef, topped with bacon, double Tillamook cheddar, shredded lettuce, caramelized onion & supersauce - served on our baked brioche bun) - you really can't go wrong with bacon and/or caramelized onions. The beef was cooked perfectly.
Cheeseburger (1/4lb of cascade natural beef, Tillamook cheese - we chose pepperjack, shredded lettuce, red onion, pickles, camden's catsup, served on our baked brioche bun) - a classic
Chickenburger (chipotle seasoned chicken thigh custom ground by SP Provisions, Tillamook Cheddar, leaf lettuce, pickle, red onion, and our tangy chick-sauce) - I didn't love this but it's also because I failed to read and thought it would be a fried chicken sandwich. But this is not a bad healthier alternative if you don't want a beef burger
Truffle fries - need I say more? You get a HUGE portion for $4. We were struggling to finish it but then again we did also order three burgers to share between two people.
I wouldn't say this is the best burger or fries I've ever had - so why the five stars? It's hard to order burger and fries for delivery and still have it be good. Usually, something gets compromised - typically the juice from the patty makes the bun soggy, or the steam from the fries make those soggy too. But everything tasted great when it arrived (maybe 20-30 minutes after we ordered?) But more importantly, the fries were still crispy (also not oily). How...??? I'm not sure what kind of voodoo they did but I ain't mad at it.
Somebody bring Little Big Burger to NYC please!
