Review from Janet M.

I've been working in HIllsboro for a long time now.
I'm always searching for a quick lunch on the road, I drive all over heck and creation for my job, so often lunch is in the car, I know, I KNOW, it's bad for me. But the other choice is a granola bar. Or more espresso, And that has disastrous results.
Baker's has a drive through, and they have garden and salmon burgers! YEAH. I like both of them, and I like the nice Asian lady who gives them to me. I have never been inside to see how stingy she may or may not be, per the other reviewers, but she is always kind at the window.
I haven't eaten the french fries, I usually get just the sandwich and a bottle of water. One time I had the terriyaki chicken bento, and it was somewhat disappointing, so I haven't done that again.
I hear this place is always full of hospital employees and Portland State Students, so it does a pretty good business.
One of Hillsboro's cheaper gas stations is right next door, FYI. -

1. Teriyaki chicken does not taste like chicken. Tastes like teriyaki rubber thingy.
2. They charge extra for the "special sauce". It's not that special
3. Hot dog is just a giant sausage. No condiments. Nothing.
4. Fries are the only reason this place gets the 2 stars. -

This is definitely a throwback kind of burger joint. I went here recently and the overall experience was quite amusing.
First off, they have an old school register that likes to (user error or simple age, one does not know) lose the order. Cue button mashing, eye squinting by the cashier. Multiple times confirming our order. Then (I love this) saying the order into the microphone to the cook 2 feet behind her. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
I think I asked her about six times about the fry sauce (I'd sampled their fries before and knew this was essential!) before I was told that when you're dining in, you get one little container and the sauce is in the back. No joke - you are allotted one cup & the napkins they give you on the tray.
The booths are tiiiiiiiiny. My very tall companion only fit in OK because I'm way short.
Enough complaining though - I loved their fries. They are hecka good. So is the fry sauce. And the burger was well cooked, well topped with freshness and overall I was pretty pleased with the selection.
The food was a four, the experience was a very weird three* due to the excessive nickel & diming (i.e. no napkins just out and about, locked bathroom, soda refills cost 55 cents, fry sauce to go costs money and here ONE TINY CUP for sauce). -

Very disappointed. First of all, this place is extremely stingy. There are no paper napkins anywhere in the restaurant. They only give about 3 plys of napkins with your order, and they are VERY reluctant to give you extra napkins. They charge about 50 cents extra if you want condiments such as ranch dressing. The ketchup and "fry sauce" are free, but there is nothing special about those sauces. The "fry sauce" is basically just a sweeter version of McDonald's Big Mac sauce.
As you might have guessed, the soda fountain is behind the counter...and yes, they charge for re-fills.
I ordered a double cheese burger. Yech...I ate about 1/3 of it, trying to give it a chance, but seriously there's nothing great about it...it's not even average. The taste of the burgers at 5 Guys, which I consider an average burger, is miles ahead of the burgers served at Baker's
I also had the french fries, since there were so many great reviews about it here...another disappointment. There is NOTHING SPECIAL about these fries. The only "unique" thing about the fries is there is a slight batter coating on them. (It is some what similar to the fries served at COSTCO in British Columbia, Canada except not as good...yes COSTCOs in Canada serve fries at the deli).
The only positive thing I can say about this establishment is the elderly lady employee that works clean-up and sometimes at the register. It's obvious she is an employee and not a family member of this mom-n-pop establishment. She's very friendly...but too bad she is working at this place. -

I usually run downstairs to stress eat after class, and this place ALWAYS hits the spot!! most say that this place is just OK, but this is one of my top fast food burgers in Portland. so far...
Their cheeseburgers: legit. hearty beef flavor, with a good cheese:lettuce:tomato:sauce ratio.
fries: so amazing. these are really unique in the world of frydom. they're thick, with a golden, double fried-type batter on top of the potato crispness itself. and they have a subtle but not overpowering bit of seasoning. please GET THE FRIES. and get the mayo-ketchup FRY SAUCE!
-this is still a family owned joint, and the staff is super friendly, with their photos on the wall when you walk in.
-the prices are decent here, at about $8.00 for a filling meal, and I would much rather go here any day than pay for the overpriced fast food at Burgerville! they also have a 10-15% student discount, so bring your ID's!
-the orderrs take 5-8mins to complete so plan accordingly, it's not McDonalds fast.
**you know what? I think I'm going to run downstairs right now for one. ditching time!! -

I've driven past the sign for Baker's Burgers a million times, I've always been curious about it. This past week, I was visiting my mom in the hospital across the street, when I realized I hadn't eaten yet that day. I was in the mood for a burger. I mean, I was reading a lot of reviews about burger places...and it put me in the mood for a burger. How convenient that I was right across the street from a burger place!
I got the cheeseburger with fries and a drink. I'll admit that it's better than a fast food burger joint, but the price is also a little higher than the local mickey D's. I'm not big on french fries...but the french fries here are really good! Baker's Burgers also makes their own mayonnaise! -

Ordered a vanilla milkshake and a small, regular cheeseburger. Though i didn't spring for nothin' fancy, i didn't expect that tiny cardboard sliverburger. Hm. It was sort of like eating the sandwich bag, with a little bit too much iceberg lettuce.
Eating things aside, i did like the little yellow wrapper it came in.
But, really, the milkshake was quite good. It wasn't thick, made in the "ice milk" style which, in my experience, was popularized by the legendary Chick-fil-A franchise (it's an ice DREAM!), and is possibly my very fave shake. -

I love Baker's Burgers! I get the Baker Burger meal every time. So tasty, and the workers are great. I recommend eating at Baker's. It's a small place, but the burgers and frys are best hot from the kitchen.
They have corn dogs and other stuff on the menu, but the Baker Burger is the best. -

doesn't make sense.
The food isn't bad, and it's pretty cheap if you just get a burger. Everybody raves about the fries, and they're actually pretty good.
I've only eaten here twice because of it's proximity to my work. If it wasn't so close, I'd never go.
The economics of this place do not make sense to me, and I've heard other customers say things like, "well, if it's going to cost me $1 more to have less food I don't want it."
My story - I go in, excited to try a mushroom burger with a veggie patty. The mushroom burger is 4.39, and to sub a veggie patty for the burger shouldn't cost too much more, right? Maybe $.50 to a dollar. I'm okay with that.
Instead, she suggests that I get a veggie burger with mushrooms so I figure thats not a bad idea. She never tells me how much anything costs though.
I hand her a $10 bill, and i only get $4 with some change back.
In my head, I know the veggie burger is $3.89 so I'm really confused. I ask her politely how much it cost, and that I'm wondering if I got incorrect change in return.
She informs me that the mushrooms were $1.50 (freaking $1.50 for mushrooms? really?!) and that the total was over $5. That got me really irritated, and I ended up saying, "Sorry, but this doesn't make sense to me." and I walked away. Yes, I still ate it, and it actually wasn't very good. The mushrooms tasted like they came out of a can, not even fresh! They were rubbery and salty. I'm used to having them slightly caramelized and earthy. Not what I was expecting.
It was a poor experience, and one of the staff members is a huge stickler to the rules (not saying that this is a bad trait, but it really limits her ability to understand people's frustrations).
Bottom line - there are plenty of delicious places to eat within walking distance. You won't see me here again. -

Located right next my school, Baker's has come in very handy for a quick bite to eat. Their burgers and fries have a very nostalgic feel (at least they don't feel so fatty like more mainstream burger joints, but rather more like I would expect to see back in 50's diners). * *Quick note: That last sentence is a huge assumption of what I would expect 50's burgers to taste like since I am only in my 20's** The prices are fairly reasonable as well.
There was one time that I ordered chicken strips with some barbecue sauce. Being a bit of a barbecue sauce fanatic, I did not like the barbecue sauce though. It was almost too tangy for me. However, if that suits you, be my guest. -

I eat here regularly because it's convenient. I can literally throw a rock at Bakers from the window of my campus' library. The workers here are always nice, they give students a 10% discount (with student ID) and their food is decent. I usually order their fries or their chicken bento (teriyaki chicken). What I do not recommend are their burgers (ironic with a name like Bakers Burgers). I didn't think a hamburger patty could be so thin. Seriously, I couldn't find the meat last time because it was hidden under the cheese. It tastes more like eating bread than a burger. If you were to pay more for their quarter pounder, then maybe there will be more meat and it'll actually taste like a burger. But I'll pass and stick to the other items on the menu.

We went here because it is close to home and had some favorable reviews. Prices were reasonable, inside was clean, burgers were good. However that is about where it ends. My wife got the double quarter lb'er w/ cheese and I got a BBQ Pork sandwich (didn't want a burger).
This sandwich was a huge mistake on my part for ordering and Baker's part for offering it. I took a bite and the thing was as tough as an old leather boot, and had the same flavor profile. I took a second bite just to make sure I couldn't eat anymore and the second bite was as tough, yet also crunchy. I have no clue how they cooked this thing, if it was actual meat, and why anyone would choose to serve this horrible sandwich. I told my wife I wouldn't have fed this to our dogs.
So I'd give the burger 3.5 stars, the fries 3, the establishment 3, and the sandwich a 0. I'm sure anyone who goes here and just sticks to burgers will be ok but since I didn't I have to knock them down for what I did try.
If you want local burger joints around Hillsboro go to Annie's or Helvetia Tavern for a much better menu and food. -

Pretty bomb! Didn't think this place would be that great but it blew me out of the water. I got a junior cheeseburger with no mayo. The fries are phenomenal and they even have fry sauce. Not bad. They serve up milkshakes along with some other stuf like tasty chicken filet sandwiches, fish and chips, corn dogs and even teryaki. It is owned by a little older Asian lady. Kudos. Leave it tithe Asians to bring back American food.

i went here for lunch and ordered the cheeseburger special for 3.39. I also tried the onion rings. The service was good, but the burger and onion rings were average. The burger did come with lettuce and mayo. The bun was a standard sesame burger bun that was very soft and almost like something you could mold into an animal figure. The taste was ok and didn't have a strong chemical after taste like some buns at fast food restaurants. The meat was sort of bland but not greasy and nothing a little ketchup wouldn't fix. This place is better than most fast food places, but there are better ones out there just not in this area of hillsboro in my opinion.

The burgers are bland and not special at all. If you are a hardcore burger person in search for either a classic burger or a gourmet burger, or just a good burger; go somewhere else. I've been to this place twice, the first time the waitress scared me away by answering my "what's good here questions" with "I don't know, I don't eat here". The next time (several years later) I just went with their regular cheese burger. Blander than bland. I always judge a burger by it's core ingredients; bun, meat, cheese, and sauce. This had a frozen disc patty, lame cheese, lame buns, and mayo.

Great quality food for reasonable prices. Closed Sunday. Awesome fries and sauce. I am also a fan of the Baker's burger.
