Frack Burger, Portland

Burgers, fries, and shakes are the winning combination at Frack Burger's four locations —listed by USA TODAY as one of the top burger joints in America. Until 11 p.m. each day, their cooks hand make shakes with fresh fruits and assemble one, two, or three patties atop fresh-baked, whole-grain artisan buns. They then hand press Kennebec potatoes for the restaurant's signature fries, which can come topped in house chili.

The tasty meals don't sit around long before arriving at one of Frack Burger's comfy booths. Cooks make everything to order, whether a customer wants the standard toppings or special add-ons such as eggs or Frack's own sauce. They can also put aside the local, lean, Oregon grown beef in order to make hot dogs, hemp seed vegetarian patties, and chicken strips.
