4 reviews for Burgerville USA
It's easy to compare Burgerville to its more famous California counterpart, In N Out. Both feature local ingredients and restrict the construction of new restaurants to a small radius so that meat and potatoes never need to be frozen for shipping. Both are responsible employers, treating their kitchen and waitstaff far better than their big corporate counterparts in the fast food world. Both pride themselves on their clean stores and friendly service. But when it comes to the quality and taste of the food itself, Burgerville thoroughly whomps In N Out.
I make this comparison a) for the sake of all the California transplants who make their way to the Pacific Northwest, and b) because In N Out is often cited as the gold standard to which all chain fast food is compared. I admit that I am a big fan of the crossed palms myself, but Burgerville deserves its due as In N Out's equal, if not superior. Burgerville substitutes Oregon Tillamook for In N Out's waxy American cheese, and fresh seasonal shakes for their generic (if tasty) basic chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla concoctions. Burgerville's fries are crisp and hearty where In N Out's are often flaccid or dried out. You do pay more for the quality, and there is no fun secret menu, but it's still a fairly cheap place to get good fast food.
Of course this is pretty much one of the only places open in Monmouth until 11 p.m., so of course, people hang out here around 10:30 getting their milkshake on. They've always been friendly, and they even give a 10 percent discount with your Western student ID card!
But what's always baffled me, is that people in Salem (specifically the staff of the Statesman-Journal) love Burgerville SOOOOOO much that they drive the 20 miles both ways to get some on their lunch breaks. That's just effed up.
It's fast food, for cripe's sake!
Where does one go in the city that has only one traffic light? Burgerville baby, and get a shake with some fries with that. The teenagers and young adults of Monmouth all parade here like its church, except with artery clogging fast food.
I must admit the shakes are pretty good here. Evidently the rest of the town and those passing by know as well since the lines here are ridiculous, even during the night. Go for the burger filled with onion rings and a giant shake, your ass will hate me for it!
A Northwest chain, Burgerville has great burgers and milkshakes. They change the flavor of their milkshakes according to what's in season. My favorite is their Oregon Hazelnut milkshake. A must try if it's on offer!
They have the most ingenius radio ads. I love listening to them. Their logo says it all: "Burgerville, where you go when you know."
