Portland

Made With Love

Butcher Burger was established in the Spring of 2014, specializing in unique burgers, sandwiches, lobster rolls and fries. Our early roots began on the coast of Maine where we operated a seasonal location before expanding into the Western Mountains of Maine in the ski town of Bethel which continues to operate year-round. Our newest venture in Portland not only brings us back to our coastal roots, but to the city that we consider our second home.

We pride ourselves in supporting local breweries, and are pleased to serve you the very best of what the Maine beer scene has to offer.
Our lobster is locally sourced from lobster boats along the coast of Maine where it is then steamed and hand-picked in house.
All food waste and organic materials at Butcher Burger are composted and donated locally.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Wow.. I got to say this was a great choice. We were on a beer walk, and started craving a burger. There were a few options, but we ended up here, and we were not disappointed.. Waking in the first thing you will notice is the smell.. It was a glorious aroma of fries and grilled burgers. I can only imagine this is what heaven smells like. Pavlov’s dog wouldn’t need a bell to salivate. It would have started salivating upon entry..

The next thing you notice is the size. It is a small, cozy burger joint.. You can sit at the bar, or sit along the window.. I of course grabbed a bar stool, and ordered a draft.. I then looked at the menu, and had a serious dilemma of what to choose.. After much debate, and some discussion with the bartender, I opted for the Texas.. How could you go wrong with a burger, topped with onion rings, bacon, and BBQ sauce? Add an order of fries? Well of course..

Once the food arrived, I knew my decision was the right one.. The burger was delicious.. A perfect pairing with my IPA. The fries were a surprise.. Crinkle cut, and golden brown.. An initial crunch with the bite, and they immediately made it to the list of best fries I have had.

Overall the experience was great, and we will be back again!!!

Chose this place on a whim during a long weekend in Portland and we are sure glad we did! Food was so good we ate there twice!!! Bacon bacon and house burgers were amazing. Sea salt fries were some of the best we’ve ever had. The restaurant was really cute and we got to eat outside one of the times. The staff were so incredibly nice and friendly. Can’t wait to come back our next time in Portland.

Butcher Burger is well worth the wait. The food is impeccable, the staff is friendly (shout out to Abigail), and the atmosphere is tight knit and chill. This is a must visit in Portland - the food could not have been better.

The food was so delicious! I felt like I wanted to have a food weep.

A cozy burger place with bar style seating. Ordered the house burger in a small group. Was served in good time, piping hot with fries. With a beer comes out at about $30-35, overall a good experience.

House burger is juicy and has a sweet heat from pickled jalapeños. Light on sauce. Fries can be ordered salted or salt & vinegar. Vinegar is liquid vs a seasoning so a bit uneven.

I loved the bacon bacon burger. The service was prompt and friendly.
