BUTCHER BURGER - 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.

“Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.”

A bit of a long wait but it was worth it! We had Texas burger, cheeseburger, lobster cheese toast and a side of pickles and fries- all very tasty! First time I had the grilled cheese lobster and it was a revelation how easy to eat vs lobster roll 😁 outside eating also better then inside , friendly customer service, a good experience overall. Prices were similar to all places downtown but food was really good!

Haven’t tried them all…but this is the best burger in Portland. So delicious! The chicken sandwiches are also incredibly delicious! I wasn’t sure how it was going to go but chicken is just as good as the burgers, so don’t sleep on them.The lobster roll, meh. It was fine. But this is a burger shop not a lobster roll shop.Have been a few times. Will continue to come back. This place is great!

First of all, the food was top notch! I had the lobster roll and salt & vinegar fries...yum! Best of all was that in handling my son's gluten allergy, staff was sure to bag his food separately and assured me that their fries were fried in a dedicated fryer, ensuring they are also gluten-free. His burger was cooked correctly and huge! My husband is picky about sauces, but these folks didn't mess it up. Sauce was on the side, per our instructions. The receptionist even took down my name and concerns so that when my online order came through, it would be carefully handled. This restaurant really has it all going on. Thank you to a caring and careful staff!

Excellent location, amazing food (burgers) and good drinks. The drinks are good. We just had local beer and it was satisfying. The burgers are definitely high tier in taste and quality. These burger meat is well cooked but talk to the employee to see what they can do for you. The employees were very nice and welcoming!Seating is very limited at the time we were here but I would highly recommend trying the burgers here if you can have a seat here. There is outdoor seating during the summer but during the spring/cold weather, there is very limited seating indoors.The fries were delicious! The sauce was amazing as well. Excellent quality food here. I would definitely come back to eat here again.

Truly a Gem! I travel for work a lot, a burger is always a safe choice but tonight it was a pleasure. I Had the house burger and the salt and vinegar fries. After countless cities and hundreds of burgers, this was the best I’ve ever had. Great people and amazing product. I hope I can one day enjoy this place again.

Tight space, tasty burger. I'm not big on crinkle-cut fries but the amazing salt-n-vinegar flavor was enough to win me over. The burger was tasty. Their spicy margarita involves some fresno pepper brine that carried some great, tasty, heat--much better than muddling a few pepper slices. Margarita was the highlight; burger & fries did not disappoint nor did they knock me over.

The crispy lobster roll was tasty. I wish I didn’t get the fried lobster but I didn’t realize it was fried when I ordered it (oops). The bacon jam and spicy mayo were awesome touches to the lobster roll. Menu stated that the side of fries is 1/4 pound but the fry order was definitely were not 1/4 pound. Very expensive here.

Amazing hole in the wall!! If you blink- you will miss this place! We stumbled across it and went into a tiny cozy place. One lady running the bar/food. They dont have tables but just bar seating or against the window high tops. Very simple menu but PERFECTED! I am vegan and didn’t find anything but my husband got the burger and fries and was raving about it the entire trip 🙂

I ordered the fish sandwich, and I gotta say, it was one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had! It was the perfect ratio of fish to bread and sauce. It was also the perfect combo with the salt and vinegar fries! The small atmosphere is great, with some awesome rock and soft rock classics playing through the speakers.

Came in for some food, there wasn’t enough room for us to sit (don’t blame them as if was Saturday evening). We decided to order to take out. We order the chicken waffle with and burger with fries (sea salt) and a side of bacon jam. On our trip across New England this is the best food we’ve had so far. It’s easy to miss but don’t be fooled, the food is great!

I really enjoyed butcher burger overall. Since the burger is made with pork and bacon it was a bit drier than expected but still had great taste overall. The fries are also a separate side so it was a great side but meant to be shared.

I got what was nominated as “The best cheeseburger in Maine”. I’m from Texas, we know our meat, and I can truly say this was an amazing burger. I got caramelized onions on it instead of raw. The buns are Hawaiian sweet rolls. Super delicious. The fries are great as they are cooked three times and gluten free!!! Caitlin was our server and was super nice, sweet, helpful, attentive, informative and absolutely welcoming to us three coworkers here from out of state. Definitely come eat here.

This place is fantastic. When we arrived Portland after a long drive we just wanted a casual spot to eat and we stumbled across this spot and it was a hit. The one thing that isn't clear by their website is this is a modern burger counter. No tables. Just bar seating and counter seating at the windows. There is some seating out on the street when the weather is nice. Don't let this stop you. The atmosphere is friendly and the burgers were some of the best I've had. The food and drink menues are simple, not overwhelming. The drinks were delicious and did what they are meant to do.The fries are crinkle style and very good. I recommend getting the choza fries. The burgers were super flavorful and the bun was soft, slightly sweet like a potatoe roll and held together the whole time. The burger looks like it will be messy when it first comes out but it really stays together. I will be going back for seconds before we head home. Oh and the bartender/servers were very friendly.
