    This is the spicy chicken sandwhich that chick-fil-a wish it was. Keep in mind that it's chicken thigh as opposed to breast. The spicy was described as a 7 out of 10. They offered to take it easy in the spice to drop it down to a 4. It was perfect and the flavor and crisp of the breading was spectacular. Great customer service and giant sandwich. I'd recommend splitting it if you're not starving!

    GOOD BURGER! First time here and it was a good experience. I usually like my burgers, a little thicker and juicier, but I must say that this Smashburger-type burger was good. I do have to qualify that I am a little leery when people use unimaginative items like American cheese, as opposed to deli or cheddar, but that being said, this was a tasty burger. I liked their special sauce, and I like the fact that the beast burger came with two patties. The fries were also good, could've used a little more for the price, but all in all, it was good. For my tastebuds I'll pass on the farmers-ade the next time around, as it was a little too sweet for my tastebuds. But I will be back, because I think they do a good job, and the burger and fries hit the spot perfectly!

    Yep, I get the hype of this smashburger food truck. The burger was amazing and not too greasy. I get concerned with smashburgers being too dry, but it was incredibly delicious and rich...melt in your mouth kind of goodness. Fries were the right amount of crisp, especially since they're on the thicker side for me. Their special sauce is pretty much a thousand island kind of sauce. I went not during the busy time, so my food came out in like 10-15 minutes. Definitely have to try to chicken burger next time.

    Oh I wanted so badly to enjoy this place, it looked like my kind of burger! We must have ordered at the wrong time, I think they were over-extended. When I arrived to pickup the food, I ended up having to wait another 30 minutes. They were getting hammered with people and online orders. We eventually did get our food and it was pretty good. The burger I'd say was decent, like much better than any fast food, but I don't know, there was something that was missing to take it to the next level. My wife agreed. The french fries were excellent! I also got the chicken sandwich which I thought would be stellar, but it was a little burnt to be honest, so the burnt bits sort of overpowered the taste. I think maybe this place is a victim of their popularity? I'd like to try them again at a less busy time. They definitely make some good food, but the night we went it wasn't quite there.

    Heard a lot about their burgers and finally got a chance to drop by. They got a small menu but everything sounded delicious, from the burger to the vegan option to the fried chicken sandwich. It's a hot day so the sound of their Beast of the Sea with seared albacore tuna and shoyu coleslaw really enticed me. It's definitely one of the more unique burgers that I've had! They did a great job with the coleslaw: crunchy and flavorful. The shoyu worked surprisingly well with the fish which was tender and thick. They didn't hold back on the portion. Buns were soft and adequately toasted on the inside. Definitely a good spot and would love to try their other stuffs!

    Yum yum and yum! If you're craving a burger that is rich and everything a burger should be, this is it! Oozing with flavor and gooey melted cheese, this burger satisfies! And it's only $11 for two smash patties with cheese and fixings! The fries were okay, but too salty but fresh. Special sauce was nothing special , but it would taste better with just ketchup. The strawberry salad had toasted almonds, wild rice, pickled fennel, goat cheese,lettuce and a nice dressing. Filling and refreshing on a hot summer day. I love it. It was fun to sit outside at a picnic table in the fresh air. It was quiet and there were plenty of seats. This was a great experience off the beaten path! You gotta try these burgers!

    Grab your pitchforks, and go slay a beast here! There's a hamburger that you can build however you like, a fried chicken sandwich that you can make hot n' spicy or keep OG, as well as, an elegant seasonal salad or a fish sammy you could hook yourself into. The nook that Farmer and the Beast rest in is a hidden concrete meadow off the street. It's filled with other great wonders: a sushi truck, a ramen truck and many more. You simple order from their window and are given a mystical beeper by a kind lad to let you know when your meal has transformed to a mythical beast! It took about 15 to 20 minutes. We were on the hunt for the hamburger and spicy chicken sandwich, so we rested our jaws into these beasts (see photos)! Let's just say, our taste buds were unleashed into a new magical world! Both, were exceptional -- and any Disney princess would have easily fallen in love by their flavors. Can't wait for another day in Portland, our quest may surely lead us here again!
