So this is yet another food truck. Its location is nothing to write home about. Theres two picnic tables that are in a covered areas to protect you some from the sun and one plastic round table setup w/ umbrella so theres some seating. Groupon brought us here and I love them for helping us explore eateries without having to worry as much about if were going to be throwing $20+ dollars away to try a new place. When we arrived they didnt appear too busy. One guy just finished ordering and he knew exactly what he wanted so it seemed like hes been here a few times which was a good sign. We grabbed a menu and started reviewing. First thing I noticed was that some of the burgers were actually kind of expensive imo considering it was a food truck and not a restaurant. One ringing in at $16! We wasted no time ordering. I got the Luni burger and the wife got the billionaire club and chips. So we waited...and waited...and waited...over 30 minutes (no lie) for our food. Now remember there were a FEW people there but it looked like they were all already eating and then the ONE guy that was ahead of us. This wait was a little absurd but no one said they were fast...Hey! They are not fast, so dont come if you only have a 30 min lunch lol But enough of that, now to what were all really here for...the grub. This is why regardless of our half hour wait and kind of high prices they are still getting 4 stars (and b/c Im not one of those review Nazis). Both of our meals were absolutely delicious and they dont hold back on serving size. My burger was a great size ($11) and the wifes club was HUGE and for only $9 it was a great deal. We definitely didnt think she would finish even half of it but low and behold within a few minutes I looked up and its almost gone it, she said it was that good. I tried hers and it was decent. Not my fav but mine on the other hand was amazing and made my taste buds jump for joy and do back flips. My tongue was doing back flips!!! Mine put me in the food zone where it was just me and my burger and I couldnt even hear the street nose. The pineapple mango habanero chutney (never had chutney before that I can recall) was the cats meow. It was so packed with flavor and complimented every other flavor in the burger so well. They bacon was fast and cooked to perfection. The stoopid sauce was really bomb too. The burger patty was big and juicy. This thing was a work of taste art. I will say that they did both come with some really tasty fries. Wish we could have saved a few bucks and gotten one without fries. They were a decent crunch, had more squish than crunch but were still really good. Not too salty and the Cajun seasoning was a good touch and complimented the burger well. I would definitely bring a friend or two back to experience one of their amazing burgers but definitely forewarn them about the wait and pricing lol

I was convinced to try Stoopid Burger after it was rated as the best burger in Portland by voters on the Oregonian. My theory is that friends of the owners colluded to achieve this ranking, because there nothing special about the food or the service. It was slightly better than a McDonalds burger. The fries were either sloppy, floppy grease sponges or small, hard potato slivers. The burger itself was pretty plain food-cart fair, like something youd find at a concession stand in a ballpark. The patty was about a quarter inch thick, probably from a bulk package of frozen patties, and was not cooked medium-rare as a good burger should be (even though I asked for it). Can you even cook something so thin to medium rare? Im not sure where the photos on yelp came from, but certainly not from this cart. Maybe theyve changed owners and totally reversed the ingredients/quality of their product? It took about 25 minutes for me to get the food, which is a little longer than I would expect from a food-cart with only 1 other customer ahead of me. It wasnt outlandish, but still gave me the impression that things were moving pretty lackadaisically inside the truck. Dont be fooled by the Oregonian article (with only 30 votes, I am ashamed that I was fooled), they certainly dont serve the best burger in Portland. In fact, they shouldnt even be mentioned in a list of high-quality burgers in the city. But I should add that both gentlemen working the cart were friendly. Since there are so many fantastic burgers to be found in this city, my expectations of "The best burger in Portland" were high, so that certainly colored my reaction to the experience. If I had gone in without expectations, my review would likely be somewhat less harsh. Ill try it again someday and edit my review if warranted.

I went to Stoopid Burger for the first time tonight to use a groupon I had purchased. I wasnt expecting a food cart but was blown away by the flavor combinations more than I ever could have expected. The burgers were fenominal and the fries were delicious as well. The two guys working were friendly, welcoming and fun. My burger had peanut butter and mango hanenero chutney along with other fixings and was hands down the best burger I have had. My boyfriend ordered a burger with bacon, egg, ham, sausage, a party, and other toppings and it was wonderful as well. I highly recommend Stoopid Burger and will absolutely drive out of my way to visit again.

Their food reminded us why we live! It was AMMMAZING!!!! We just moved to Portland from Denver and are not used to this quality of food coming out of a food truck and we were pleasantly surprised! Also we drove 40 minutes to try their food and were worried that we were going to be disappointed but I am glad to say not only we were not disappointed but I believe this was, if not the best, one of the best burgers weve ever had! We will be going back regularly from this point on and I would recommend you do the same as well or you are going to miss out! Liv2eat

Everyone there we heard, talking to the friendly guys working in the cart, had come because of the recent win in a Willamette Week burger competition article. Us included! Yes it IS on a depressing block of vast, sterile apartment buildings that look like they were inspired by communist chic. The food is good though! My only critique is that the buns are pretty poor quality for such big, sloppy burgers. Also they should hand out more napkins with that in mind! Still worth a visit to that depressing part of town tho, lol.

It must be said that lunch today was a happy one. My cheeseburger was gaddamn honest; earning every cent I spent and then some some extra for delicious measure. Straight forward with fresh ground beef; a thick, juicy patty cooked just right. Plenty of dripping sauce and well proportioned veggies. Dont let the busy corner fool you into thinking excellence exists elsewhere, you need not go far, because these gentlemen know where they are at and how to do it right! Thank guys, proud youre in the neighborhood.

Es sieht von außen zwar nicht sehr einladend aus, die Qualität des Essens ist jedoch auf hohem Niveau. Kein Vergleich zu großen Fast-Food-Ketten. Das Fleisch ist geschmacklich sehr gut, ich empfehle den Boring Burger!
