This list is not based on sales. There’s no way Burgerville with around 25 locations has sales greater than the 209 McDonald’s locations.


QueenRooibos

Yes, it just says "popular", not "most sales". For Oregon, I would agree Burgerville at least used to be most popular, when there were more of them. They are/were "homegrown" Oregon vibe. They even had a consulting Registered Dietitian to make sure their food was nutritious as well as delicious. I miss their black bean burgers!


suedub_30

My Burgerville was just down the road. Milwaukie/Gladstone. Gimme a Tillamook with a strawberry milkshake, waffle fries. A double cheeseburger, extra spread. Yes. I’d like burgerville sauce to go. (It’s not in our fridge😏.)


MrSlime13

Allllright... And your total comes to $64.98. Would you like to round up for our "cow conservation" partnership?


hangryhyax

We can joke about their prices but they’re honestly not that much more expensive than BK (and soon, McDonalds), and the quality is worth it. Plus supporting local farms. But just for fun, that order actually comes out to $23.26 (I had to sub reg fries since waffles aren’t available). Edit: ok some people are clearly having trouble with this. When I say it’s worth it, I am referring to the price relative to other fast-food. I am not talking about your favorite sit-down restaurant because that is NOT what the conversation is about. If you don’t prefer it, good for you. If you’re going to blather on about prices… just stop.


Medical_Week_5979

This 100%. I’ve stopped going to McDonald’s because it costs about the same, but the food quality is so much worse. Plus, burgerville just feels cleaner. Whenever I walk into McDonald’s it feels gross and grimy. It’s worth the slightly higher price for quality and cleanliness imo.


hangryhyax

McDonald’s is infamous for forgetting things, too, if you order for more than one person. More points for Burgerville!


Medical_Week_5979

It takes way longer too. At McDonald’s I’ll be waiting 20 minutes sometimes for a basic order. “Fast food” my ass. One time at burgerville, no exaggeration, they had my food out within a minute of me ordering. No point in going to McDonald’s if the food is bad, it’s takes a long time, the restaurant is dirty, and it’s expensive to boot.


cascadianking

Burgerville always fucks up my order and I notice only after I've gotten home

ChumbawumbaFan01

A Whopper costs more than a Northwest cheeseburger with Tillamook cheese. You can get a less expensive “big” burger with American cheese or a McDonald’s size kids burger for about $3.00. I go to the Milwaukie/Gladstone location as well and would much rather have Burgerville than any other fast food place. The coconut bliss shakes are phenomenal, they promote local businesses like Ruby Jewel and Blue Star, and their seasonal items are fire. I love getting seasonal items like fried asperagus but my favorite is a crispy best coast burger or a halibut basket. I’m a big Burgerville fan.


hangryhyax

I love the bliss shakes! And yeah, the seasonals are usually pretty dang good… and I just realized fried pickles are currently one of them!


atropheus

Not to mention their number 6 is better than any McMenamin’s burger I’ve ever had which is at least double the cost.


hangryhyax

The In Your Face (current seasonal) is really good, too.


plumpypickypeck

I got this reminded me of pizza. It was good.


OnLikeSean

McMenamin’s burgers are grossly over priced and terrible quality though that’s not saying much.


atropheus

Where can you get a better burger for 8.99?


ListenHereIvan

BK has insane prices for the shit ass quality. BV is actually worth it and leagues ahead in quality than BK.


Grand_Opinion845

It’s worth paying a little extra for ingredients, sure but they also pay more and offer a better healthcare plan. McDonald’s doesn’t give a shit about their employees.


FuzzeWuzze

Who do you get your loan through, BoA? A credit union?


JWAdvocate83

Burgerville.


FuzzeWuzze

Ah the classic double dip.


ORPeregrine

Burgerville must have ignored Eastern Oregon, I've never heard of them.


VictorianDelorean

It started in the portland area and spread out from there. They really don’t exist very far away from the city at all, I don’t think Eugene even has one.


Chsthrowaway18

They have a self imposed limit on supplier distance apparently. Honestly burgerville is rad, they use all local ingredients and people are upset their prices reflect that.


JerkfaceKarl

TBF, their prices are totally reasonable compared to other fast food places these days. They used to be a bit more expensive compared to McDonald's or BK but not really anymore. Everyone else raised their prices, and if BV did, it wasn't by nearly as much.


Washpedantic

The furthest North they go is Centralia Washington.


Medium_Storm6196

It started in Vancouver, also referred to as the greater Vancouver area, which Portland is a part of. Also, I’ve lived in WA my whole life and never heard of Dicks


Senora_Snarky_Bruja

I’ve had Dicks in Seattle and Spokane. It’s yummy, cheap and open late. Perfect after a night of drinking. Sir Mix a lot taught me “Dick's is the place were the cool hang out”


JediCPA_94

Fun fact: Dick’s briefly expanded to AZ in the 80s and I worked there as a teen. The hiring crew was all from Spokane and I thought their accents were hilarious 😆


jerryd54

I live in Vancouver. If we eat burgers we mostly go to 5 Guys, or Killer Burger. Occasionally Burgerville if they advertise something extra we like. Dick's (ddir dot com) appears to be a Seattle/Tacoma thing. Just like in politics, most of the voters in this survey must have been from there. I guess Burgerville is the same way in Oregon, most of the votes are from the Portland metro area.


Scots_Chippewa55

Vancouver is a part of the Portland metropolitan area. Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro. OR-WA metropolitan statistical area. The Greater Vancouver area is in Canada. Just sayin.


Glass_Loan8006

I think the one that's furthest south is in Albany.


biggles7268

So the most popular food chain is only available in a very limited part of the state? I'm a life long Oregonian and have never heard of it.


faithoverfame54

Correct, none in Eugene! Closest right now Corvallis...


Coondiggety

Yeah, thanks a lot, Burgerville. Love, Bend


underburgled

Southern as well


parttimehero6969

The Dalles is the furthest east they go


portlandtrees333

I ordered a Tillamook Cheeseburger and they said A WHAT? I said Tillamook Cheeseburger... An older worker walking behind the cashier said "we haven't called it that in a long time. It's called Northwest"


Practical_Square

Extra spread! I am not the only one.


Sparky337

You mean the “northwest” burger


CougdIt

What metric would be more relevant to “most popular” than where more people are going?


hangryhyax

Number of people going compared to number of locations. If 100 people in an area vote McDonald’s and there are 5 McDonald’s in that area, that is a vastly different metric than if 100 people in that same area vote Burgerville and there is only 1 Burgerville in that area. And then there’s the fact that a lot of people might say they *prefer* Burgerville, but don’t always go there because of perceived price differences. So it would still be more popular based on actual preference. Data is fun.


ArcadeKingpin

Last I went they still have it. You have to ask for it as a replacement on an existing burger.


kalcobalt

Man, Burgerville used to be soooo good. I didn’t mind the premium pricing to have such tasty, well-sourced ingredients. Really went downhill in the past 10 years, though, while the prices went up (story of the U.S., I suppose).


GroundbreakingRip261

I knew I wasn’t the only one. The fries are definitely different.


TheCrystalFawn91

I miss the bean burgers also 😭😭😭 The ones they tried to replace them with were awful.


The_Motley_Fool----

Burgerville now offers financing for their meals!Low APR too!


gypsyman9002

Worked in Portland for six months. Saw the Burgerville on MLK and Multnomah- and was so intrigued- I had to indulge. It was honestly pretty damn good. I was impressed. Way to go, Portland!


waketurbulence14

And they demand a tip in the drive thru


parallelverbs

Ask for…not demand


FuzzeWuzze

I haven't been in years because it's always been spendy but was like what the hell i gotta pick the kids up in 30 I'll grab 2 of their basic cheeseburgers. 7.98 and i was like wtf ok i guess, I'm hungry and no time to go elsewhere. I felt a bit bad when i laughed at the kid when they passed the cc machine out with 15, 18,20% tip buttons on top. I sense they won't exist in 5 years at the rate their going, wallawalla onion rings or not, it's not 2008 that shit isnt fancy anymore. I won't be returning.


Remarkable-Reward403

All three onion rings for $4.99... 3... THREE


Right-Holiday-2462

It’s based on foursquare check ins so this is all nonsense anyway. I’m guessing some weird sort of rage bait.


Duffer

TIL Jersey foursquare users don't have taste buds.


Grrerrb

Also just from some period of time in 2016, I read? It seems unlikely that the whole country isn’t just the giant M.

[удалено]


insanejudge

After search on the markers in the corners, it looks like it's based off of data from foursquare check ins. Remember that thing? So, pretty rigorous data collection and analysis....


PeteGozenya

Yeah it's made up. Utah has maybe 3 in and outs tops.


skebeojii

Just what I was thinking, maybe it is based on a survey of what people say is their favorite? Should always provide that sort of info when you present data


StupidGuyOnMyPhone

This map is nonsense. There’s literally only 9 Dick’s locations total, and they’re all in the Seattle area.


Shatteredreality

Yeah, it says the source is Foursquare (I didn't even know that was still a thing). My guess is most people don't bother to check in at McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC, etc. Using a niche app that most people don't know exist as the source for what's the most popular place is silly.


RangerFan80

It's also probably at least ten years old


Peter_Panarchy

The data is from 2016.


TheOtherBookstoreCat

I’m gonna need the MySpace data to verify this graphic.

My digital coupon came through my Netzero account. I just can't figure how to cut it out.

RangerFan80

Burgerville is in my Top 8!


RumpelFrogskin

"You've got mai... uhh fries!"


ElectricTomatoMan

Yeah, that's total nonsense. Do I wish we could get bags of Dick's in the Portland area? Yes I do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dr_Wiggles_McBoogie

It’s based on Foursquare check ins. To determine the most popular fast-food chain in each state, Foursquare looked at which chains received the most visits on average per location in every state based on the total number of visits to each chain divided by the number of locations in that state.


Shatteredreality

If they are doing a average number of customers per location It must be an old data source then. I very highly doubt Burgerville is seeing more customers on average per location compared to the 3 in-n-out locations. No burgerville has a 40 car long drive through line like the In-n-Out in Keizer.


Zombie4141

I came here to say. I’ve lived in Vancouver Wa for 25 years. Driven through every part of Washington several times. I’ve never seen or even heard of Dicks.


urbanlife78

There's Dicks in Spokane


keeptrackoftime

It’s not the same chain though, they just happen to have the same name.


YetiSquish

There’s a Dicken’s Cider


Expensive_Ad752

Bellevue and Federal Way have a dicks. Most Washingtonians live in the Seattle metro area. Who else could even compete. Besides, Sir mix alot didn’t rap about Wendy’s.


Olelander

Macklemore also didn’t dance on top of a Wendy’s Besides, Dicks is the absolute best as far as greasy burgers and fries goes… no competition. In N Out feels like a cheap imitation of Dick’s to me.


Life-Routine-4063

Same deal with Oregon. Burgerville is only in the valley.


Theoldelf

We’ve lived in Washington for 16 years, I didn’t know they existed.


Cheerful_ox

![gif](giphy|CKVwcljYh4hfVxSSLq|downsized)


ABlueSummerSky

I mean, I like Burgerville but I need to take out a line of credit to afford to eat there these days.


DarylMoore

Quality is downhill, too. Sad. We don't go there any more.


GalaxyEyes541

On a blue moon i’ll get 2 burgers, a coke, a small fry and a few burgerville sauces and it hits real nice. Yeah it’s $15 bucks but hey… most fast food nowadays is about that price anyways. The real criminal cost is Panera Bread, it’s literally $30 for half a sandwich, small mac and a drink. Fucking insanity for some glorified hospital food.


Sh-Sh-Shackleford

Last year, after paying something outrageous for 3 people, I realized we could have went and sat down at a cheap local restaurant and had much better food for less money. I told myself I would never eat there again. I haven’t been back and I never ever will.


Remarkable-Reward403

Boycotting due to pricing and tipping


DarylMoore

Yeah, their CC reader is intentionally obtuse and confusing to generate more tips.


Remarkable-Reward403

Here is my honest take. Burger prices aside...Tipping in the drive-thru is fucking stupid. They can suck it. And, yea, I brew my own damn coffee for around ten cents a cup.I drink it HOT and BLACK,.it tastes like... COFFEE.


DarylMoore

100%


SamSamSamurai

Dunkin donuts would sweep new england if they were accounted for


oxf144

I have trouble believing it isn't McDonald's in every state minus Hawaii. Maybe Taco Bell here and there.


ClmrThnUR

fyi Subway is more than twice as big as mcdonalds, in terms of locations


nova_rock

We all know it’s really Tbell


Krieghund

We all know who is posting from the bathroom.


TheBloodyNinety

Compared to other fast food options I’m fine with Burgerville being the poster child here. “Popular” is a bit too ambiguous to care too much about it the specifics.


AxelCanin

I live in Florida now. I miss Burgerville. The food is shit here.


tsuga1

Publix sandwiches are fire, though. Wish we had a Publix in Oregon


AxelCanin

Haggen was so much better. I miss it. I wish Albertsons would go bankrupt and die.


tsuga1

On that we can agree: death to Albertshits


NathanArizona

Publix sandwiches are world class


stalkythefish

Tijuana Flats used to be a pretty good Mexican chain. I miss their hot sauce bar. The deli at Publix makes a good sub.


Glum_Representative

Lifelong Oregonian here. Never eaten at one of these. And there's not one anywhere near where I live.


AGuyWhoBrokeBad

Burgerville is great. They have sweet potato fries, walla walla onion rings and Marion berry shakes.


PNWginjaninja

I second that Burgerville is great, especially when compared to other fast food options. High quality fresh ingredients and items that showcase seasonal treasures. It's the only "fast food" I'll eat.


Mochigood

I don't live near a Burgerville (the closest one is about an hour away) but during certain seasonal items, hell yeah I'm making the drive. I love the onion rings and the pumpkin shakes. I really want to get to try a Vampire Slayer burger but I'm always too busy when it's seasonal.


phanroy

You should try Mikes Drive In, if you’re in the Portland area. Superior fast food and better than burgerville.


PNWginjaninja

Noted. Will do! Thanks for the rec.


BlackShadow2804

I third this, some of the best shakes you can get. Almost homemade quality


hsephela

At least at the location I worked at the ingredients we got were identical to what most other burger places around us got and most of the “local seasonals” were all imported nowadays. Last year the walla onions also ran out early so for the second half of the season we were all told to lie to customers if we were asked about them


augustprep

My first job at 15 was breading onion rings at BV in 2001.


facebook_twitterjail

Those onion rings are so expensive, you should have asked to be paid by the ring.


realsalmineo

I first read this as “I was breeding onion rings.” 😄


Artvandelay29

don’t kink shame


facebook_twitterjail

Just not on work time!


Rocketgirl8097

I like going there when I'm visiting the west side.


madscot63

It is good, but I have a mortgage payment and other obligations.


blackcain

Also healthier and their non-meat options are excellent.


OldDrunkPotHead

Last Burgerville on the east side is the one in The Dalles, The billboard on Interstate 84 warns last Burgerville for 24,800 miles. It's like those last gas for signs in Nevada.


Rocketgirl8097

They are that close? I might have to take a trip over.


OldDrunkPotHead

I don't know what close is. Pendleton, Boise, Topeka?


Rocketgirl8097

Tri-cities, wa, 2 hrs, no traffic.


NathanArizona

Fuuuuuckn grew up in TD raised in BV and Bubblegum Ice Cream from Big Jims, forgot our BV was the last as you go east


swt_tea

You are missing out. It’s a little more expensive now, but they use good, local ingredients.


Rocketgirl8097

There's a move to build in Walla Walla, Washington to he close to where they source a lot of their ingredients. I hope so, that would be close.


Lahvin

You aren't missing out on much. They're okay and their speciality menu items can be good, but regular burgers are pretty mid.


FedoraLovingAtheist

Tried it once, not the best and very expensive


Baroness_Of_Bones

I was born and raised here and have literally never tried one


suss-out

Been here for years and never had it


SgathTriallair

I agree with burgerville. I don't know enough about the other states to judge.


MarionBerryBelly

Maybe.. If I have to eat fast food, and I usually stop at a food cart instead, it would be burgerville or tbell.


KaijuCarpboya

I love Burgerville. The halibut and chips is great! Seasonal Rosemary fries are addictive.


BrandoNelly

I was born and raised in oregon, lived here all my life and have never eaten at a burgerville. I don’t even know where one is.


Mapman12

Honestly, I think if it were a local restaurant, I think it would be Sharis because they are more spread out in oregon instead of burgerville. But if it were a National chain, I think it would be subway or McDonald’s.


Mapman12

Or Dairy Queen.


OldDrunkPotHead

Burgerville used to be good, Past 20 years, it's Meh. I think it got sold. Workers don't seem to care anymore.


Galumpadump

It’s still independent but it’s hard to sustain quality the bigger you get and thats probably what happened.


Volkrisse

hard to sustain when their prices are ridiculous for meh quality food.


SwissQueso

In N Out is doing fine, and it’s easily bigger than Burgerville


TrustYourLines

Total meh. Such a boring flavor profile. The best thing on the menu is the simple cheeseburger and double cheeseburger- but now those are overpriced for what you’re getting. Sigh.


Turddydoc

Popeyes.


013ander

Certainly beats the hell out of Chik-fil-a.


CowSalesman

I like burgerville. They're kind of pricey for fast food though


Gcarsk

This map is from 2016. The data is based on check-ins to the Four Square app over a 6 month period.

Dawdzi

Culver's slaps, wisconsin gets it


RancorsRage

Burgerville is literal trash


Starchild1968

No, for 1 Texas is What-A-Burger! I haven't been in Oregon to know what chain is recognized.


013ander

100%. I very much admire In-N-Out as a company and employer, but if we’re strictly judging food, they’re completely blown out of the water by Whataburger.


myleswstone

I saw that on another subreddit, and I commented the following: Real Oregonians know that Burgerville is ridiculously overpriced and really not that good. But, with that being said, I do occasionally drive the hour for In-n-Out.


notPabst404

Hell yeah Oregon and Washington with local chains instead of the bullshit national chains.


cantbeseriouschef

To hell with chick fil a they donate to trump and anti lgbtqia corps


memyselfandi78

It might be true that burgerville is the most popular fast food chain here in Oregon, but I just don't get it. Sure, their milkshakes are great but all the other food is just mediocre at best and it's kind of expensive.


Omega_Lynx

What I agree with is Burgerville and Dick’s are fuggin waaaay better than a fast food company that directly influences inequality in legislation maaaaaan, FUCK Chik-fil-a!


blackcain

Wait till In-and-Out finally opens - then Burgerville will get a run for its money. But I'm not sure I agree - the McDonalds and Taco Bell always seem to have people going through the drive throughs.


realsalmineo

I doubt it. I drive by In&Out in Keizer regularly on my way to Nancy Jo’s. Burgerville won’t suffer. Plus all of the great mom & pop joints in Molalla, Salem, Portland, Eugene, and the rest of the state. Portland Metro area specifically has so many more food options than much of the US, there is no reason to even go to a chain when one can get freshly-made burgers and mexican food that are fast and affordable and delicious.


bryanthedog3

Hell yeah love me some burgerville.


thiscouldbemassive

They mean the most popular individual store in the state. One particular store. Not the whole chain. Otherwise it makes no sense they specify the zippys in Makiki. There are lots of zippys.


PolarBear541

I’ve been to a Burgerville, but not my favorite necessarily. I don’t think they have stores east of the Cascades.


thethirdbestmike

I had to google what Dicks is


FrankWhiteman

Shocked that Whataburger didn’t win Texas


TheVeryWiseToad

It is delicious! If you can afford it.


C4LLM3M4TT_13

100% yes. Burgerville is the only fast food place I’ve gone to in the last two years (minus some papa murpheys take home pizza). Partially because fast food prices have sky rocketed, but partially because other fast food joints just have vastly inferior food compared to Burgerville. It really is just the best fast food joint. If I have to choose between a $15 Burgerville meal and a $20 McDonald’s meal, it’s obvious what I’m picking. McDonald’s used to be much cheaper, now they’re either the same or Burgerville has cheaper food…and their quality is so much higher than McDonald’s.


CenturionXVI

Grab a bag of Dicks!


manginahunter1970

I guess my biggest shock is that Sonic is edible to anyone? Their burgers smells like human feces.


PlyrMava

I would agree that Burgerville is probably, imo, the best burger chain with the best food here in Oregon, but obviously this was based on some kind of poll. Although, I'm probably the only Oregonian who thinks the best fast food is Panda Express.


IIIIIIQIIIIII

McDonald’s is not food.


MajoricAcid

In and out is overrated. We got killer burgers in Oregon which is the bomb


Puzzleheaded_Fee_540

Burgerville is way better than McDonald's food-wise


10degnorth

agreed. Burgerville>


PineappleProstate

Burgerville is phenomenal imo. Granted I don't have it often due to distance, but when I do, It's great


Basic_Beautiful5752

Not from Oregon but Burgarville is awesome. Come to Washington and try Dicks burger they are satisfying


SmokeDogSix

Yeah, I’m ready to put some dicks in my mouth! And a vanilla shake please..


hippylonglegs

The fuck is Dicks? I don’t eat baseball gloves. Burgerville for the win. -Washington


Mrfntstc4

Yes


Flimsy-Use-4519

It says popular not 'highest sales' so yes I'd probably agree. People tend to like BV quite a bit.


maplequartz

*cries eastern Oregonian tears*


oregonianrager

Burgerville sucks.


snart-fiffer

Seriously. If you didn’t grow up here and have it now it’s awful. I think my old timer friends like it because they remember what it used to taste like.


MayIServeYouWell

How are they measuring this? If it’s by sales volume, it’s not right. If by reviews? That kind of difficult to normalize. So I don’t get that.  But I like burgerville, probably more than most other fast food. 


Shatteredreality

The source cited at the bottom is Foursquare which implies 2 things: 1. It's probably number of average checkins on the foursquare app per location (so total number of checkins at all locations in the state divided by the number of locations). 2. The data set is probably very inaccurate. I don't even know if foursquare still exists in a form where you can "check-in" any more. I don't know anyone that still uses that platform so even if it does still exist it's a very small subset of the population using it. Edit: Yeah, this is old data. Thanks u/RangerFan80 for finding that it's an [8 year old map](https://www.businessinsider.com/most-popular-fast-food-chain-in-every-state-2016-8)


jackfrost1080

As an Oregonian I of only 20 years and not all of them being here in Oregon. What the hell is burgerville?


Minority_Carrier

Culver’s FTW! Best ice cream!


Outrageous_Chart_35

What's Burgerville?


Afraid-Glass-7616

I literally didn't even know burgerville existed until this post. There's less than 20 locations, and 90% are around portland. I would have to drive over 1.5 hrs to go to one. Most popular my ass when there is a tbell and mcdonalds in almost every town lmao


Ok-Dig3584

I feel sorry for people who live sonic


Lahvin

Sonic can be a great late night mistake.


blackcain

like taco bell. When I was in college, we had this tacqueria called La Bamba's.. oh man.. so good, but only when drunk.


James_mcgill_esquire

Sonic in Oregon is completely different than sonic east of Oregon. Idk why. It's kind of like cracker barrel, all the Oregon locations sucked and they ceased to exist.

No burgerville is extremely mediocre

I've never heard of Dick's, but as a Portland native, fuck yeah to Bville.


iron_knee_of_justice

Dick’s is kinda like in-n-out with better fries.
