Farmer and the Beast- NW Portland

Farmer and the Beast runs on a counter-service format: order up front, grab a seat, wait for your number to come up. The burger is the reason people keep showing up, and it's built a following of regulars who return specifically for it. The room is no-frills, and conversation around the place tends to circle the same points — wait times that can swing unpredictably, portion sizes, and a stripped-down atmosphere that isn't for everyone. None of that seems to slow down the crowd chasing the burger itself.
