Loyal Legion Portland, OR ㄨ $$ Super Smash: cheddar, bacon, pickle, tomato, lettuce, aioli. Had all elements that should work, but didn't. Tasted sad and lifeless. Not worth $15 and the fries were more of a failure - limp, tasteless, abandoned uneaten. Beers are great but this was a miss. #CBDB

Nostrana Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $ Margherita from Enoteca Nostrana, Cathy Whims' wood-fired kitchen. Thin, hand-tossed crust, mozzarella, tomato, basil. $10 for a pizza from a 6x James Beard finalist is a crazy deal. Crust has a real chew to it — really tasty, a must try. #PizzaOfficial

Breakside Brewery Portland, OR ⭐ $ Burger Week special: Charbroiled patty, American cheese, shredduce, house Big Dill sauce, pickles, pickle fries + pickle potato chips on a toasted bun Loved the textures and excessive pickle flavor. Nice patio and lots of side options, good spot! #CBDB

Podnah's Pit Barbecue Portland, OR ⭐ $ Burger Week special: Smoked brisket and sirloin burger patty, shaved white onions, white American cheese, au poivre steak sauce, Dos Hermanos brioche bun Pepper and onion-blasted. It was tasty but could have used a hit of pickle/lettuce to add balance #CBDB

Bergy's Burgers Portland, OR ⭐ $ Maple bar, fresh burger, bacon, cheddar cheese, drizzled with hot honey I love Sesame Donuts but the cheese ruined this combo for me, and wish the bacon was crispier. My brain had trouble processing what was going on. Regardless, you should try it. #CBDB

Papa Haydn Portland, OR ⭐ $ House-ground patty, cheddar, smoked Walla Walla onion rings, garlic aioli + jalapeño BBQ sauce on a brioche bun $10 Burger Week special. The onion rings were a bit disappointing and the sauce was barely there, but killer value and the patio is lovely #CBDB

Pizzeria Da Attilio Naples, IT ⚡ $ The kind of pie that makes you understand why Naples is the reference point. ~$7 is just an absurd value. The place is modestly sized with a few outdoor tables that spill out on a busy street, right in the market. Long wait but worth it. #PizzaOfficial

Shoutout to @attie.ai for helping me get CBDB reviews writing as typed records to the PDS! I was stuck thinking the implementation was more complex than it was. Attie broke it down, proofed my work, and confirmed the path end to end. Way easier than anticipated. 10/10 experience, truly helpful 👌

It's Okay Vancouver, BC ⭐⭐ $ Juicy patty, soft bun, melty cheese - a genuinely delicious burger. Every bite delivered. Could've eaten two. The happy hour burger is a steal, and the curly fries are worth ordering. Great service and dug the vibe. #CBDB

Face Plant Portland, OR ⭐ $ Fully vegan, fast food format. The patty holds up and the "cheese" melts perfectly. Fresh toppings. If you're craving a fast food burger and don't eat meat or dairy, Face Plant delivers the real thing. Good fries, great shakes. #CBDB

Starita Naples, IT ⚡ $ The margherita was life changing. Dough with real chew and holds its structure through the last bite. Sauce-to-cheese ratio dialed in - truly a perfect pizza. The value for the quality is truly wild - this entire pie was under $10. Great quick service. #PizzaOfficial

Barlow Tavern Portland, OR ⭐ $$ Cascade Natural beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles - standard build, done right. Cheese is worth the add. Comes with fries or tots for $14. Both are great - the fry sauce is doing real work. Cozy neighborhood dive. #CBDB

Pacific Standard Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $ Diner-style burger and fries with great components. Only knock: way too much sauce The $10 happy hour deal for a solid burger and fries is the move. Nice vibes and there's a lovely rooftop bar as a bonus #CBDB

Tulip Shop Tavern Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $$ Smash patty, American cheese, pickles, onion, and house sauce on a soft bun. Simple but well-executed Really fantastic food and quality for the price. All of the sides are a treat. The only downside is how busy/loud it can be #CBDB

Loretta's Northwesterner Seattle, WA ⚡ $ Well-seasoned patty with great crust, American cheese, soft bun, lettuce, and pickles with a perfect bite each time. Incredible value with delicious fresh fries. Love the vibe here. Indoor seating with a spacious covered outdoor deck. #CBDB

Sure Shot Burger Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $ Delicious smash patty, melty cheese, dill pickle, chopped onion, special sauce on a Franz bun. A really tasty burger. Amazing value from a food cart next to Oakshire Brewing with ample seating. The fries were thin & crispy - well worth the add. #CBDB

Shake Shack Portland, OR ㄨ $ Tried the Big Shack out of curiosity and walked away disappointed. Sounds great on paper but ratios were way off - too much beef/cheese, not enough balance to hold it together. It felt heavy and wasn't worth it, just stick with the ShackBurger #CBDB

PKLS Sechelt, BC ⭐⭐ $ The name tells you everything you need to know: the pickles are the standout here. Build-your-own format with a long list of fresh toppings. Very tasty and satisfying. Counter service with minimal outdoor seating - a solid stop on the Sunshine Coast. #CBDB

Haymaker Bar Portland, OR ⭐ $ Really tasty smash patty that gets lost in the execution. The bun is too bready and the excess sauce buries everything around it. Shredded lettuce would help - the thick leafy stuff adds to the bulk problem. Great value and cozy venue with lots of options tho #CBDB

Creepy's Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $ Solid all-around. The patty is top tier and everything works together the way it should - loved the shredduce and sauce. Crispy fries, reasonable price, good meal top to bottom. Music was a bit too loud, but clown bingo on Wednesdays is a legitimate bonus. #CBDB

Rory's of Edmonds Edmonds, WA ㄨ $$ Patty reads as frozen and nothing else on the plate makes up for it. Visually appealing but fell flat in flavor/taste. Very standard bar food. The outdoor deck overlooking the water is a treat - worth a visit for a drink or a snack. Order something else. #CBDB

Lo's Burgers Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $ Crispy edges, melty cheese, perfect bun, and tasty sauce. Ratio skews heavy on meat - not enough lettuce and pickle to balance the bite, but so good I didn't mind. Incredible value for a solid smash burger at a food cart. Fries are frozen but fine. #CBDB

Bar Corallo Capri, Italy ㄨ $$$ Unseasoned meatball on a giant bun with mozzarella, 1 lettuce sprig, 1 slice of tomato. Feels like it was made by someone who hates burgers? The giant lemon centerpiece and water views are lovely but absolutely not worth the cover charge. #CBDB

Tommi's Burger Joint Reykjavik, Iceland ⭐ $$$ Grass-fed beef, daily-baked buns, fresh veggies - serious ingredients, laid-back environment. Messy with sauce but in a good way. Everything in Iceland is expensive and this is no exception, but the sweet potato fries are a worthy add-on. #CBDB

Amaterra Winery Portland, OR ⭐ $$$ Solid smash burger - caramelized onions, house pickles & sauce w/ seasoned fries. Really tasty, but at $24 hard to recommend on its own. If you're already there for the wine and you're hungry, get the burger. Winery burger at winery prices #CBDB

Laurelhurst Market Portland, OR ㄨ $$$ Well executed, high quality ingredients - but it's a standard bistro burger with a salad's worth of lettuce on top. Nothing particularly notable or innovative here. Great restaurant, but order the steak. The burger isn't why you'd go here. #CBDB

The Old Gold Portland, OR ⭐⭐ $ Two smashed patties, American cheese, secret sauce on a Franz Bakery bun. Well balanced and satisfying - a really good burger. Cheese fries are excellent but $10 is a stretch. Reliable chill neighborhood spot with a big patio + indoor seating #CBDB

Backroadz Cathlamet, WA ⭐ $ The burger has fresh beef going for it, but was overcooked, underseasoned, and somehow dry despite a double heavy mayo situation. Roadside stop with a covered patio, no indoor seating. Value is solid, with shakes and onion rings to round it out #CBDB
