Red Coach


Any "best burger" in Portland discussion should include Red Coach. Located in the every more grimy looking Pioneer Place area off Broadway, this Portland mainstay delivers the goods. You want to order the Karl's Special - a cheeseburger, fries and a soda for $8.95. The burgers are old school, cooked on the grill and the fries are great.

Red Coach opened on 3rd and Alder in downtown Portland in 1958. The long-time owners retired last year and turned the operation over to their daughter, but there are still a lot of friendly people to take your order and the service is fast. I added an excellent strawberry shake to my order, my only gripe is that the large shake cost $6. If you like old school diners, you'll love the look here; lots of red leather booths. I think there are other things on the menu, but there is no need to depart from the Karl's .
