It’s time to vote in the latest category of The Oregonian’s Readers Choice Awards: best burger in the Portland area.

We took the seven burgers spots that received the most reader nominations and added three more from our dining critic, Michael Russell, to complete the list of 10 finalists.

You can vote once a day at the bottom of this post or at this link until the poll closes at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024. We’ll reveal the results Friday, Oct. 11 at oregonlive.com/readers-choice.

Burgerville

I must admit, I had to wonder if you all were just messing with me on this one. Burgerville is one of our favorite fast food restaurants, and there is plenty to love about it. But best burger in the entire Portland area? That seems like a stretch. The readers have spoken, however, and a finalist it is!

Deschutes Brewery

This brewpub offers 26 beers on tap and boasts, “Our culinary team has taken classic pub dishes to the next level with the best local ingredients.” Our readers are all about the elk burger here. One person said it’s the “best elk burger in the city. Always cooked perfectly and goes perfectly with their Black Butte Porter.”

210 N.W. 11th Ave.; 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday; deschutesbrewery.com/pages/portland-public-house

Farmer & The Beast

Jeff Larson and Schuyler Wallace opened Farmer & The Beast after meeting at David Machado’s Tanner Creek Tavern, where they learned the menu-anchoring value of a good burger. This food cart’s Beast Burger has two beautifully seared patties, melted American cheese, shaved onion, plenty of pickle slices and a special sauce with more pickle, all propped up on a chapbook’s worth of iceberg leaves and trapped in a sesame seed Franz bun.

1845 N.W. 23rd Place and 12675 S.W. 1st St., Beaverton; 11:30 a.m.-7:45 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday; instagram.com/farmerandthebeast
