    Crafting high-quality Burgers & creating a World-Class guest experience Killer Burger is an oasis from the world, a food sanctuary that is dedicated to serving big, juicy, over-the-top hand-built burgers, each one topped with bacon and paired with a side of crispy fries. Only one thing can make these meals even better and that's a local cold craft beer. We don't just love burgers, we commit to the burger, and simply want to create the best burgers imaginable. Somebody's got to do it!

    We use only the best ingredients to make our award-winning burgers. Each of the past 6-years, Portland & Vancouver consumers have voted us as the Best Burger in Town, while each of the past 2-years, we've also been voted Best Burger in the Willamette Valley. Each burger features 100% beef 1/3-pound smash burgers topped with freshly cooked, crispy bacon. Our menu also features our signature Peanut Butter, Pickle, Bacon Burger. To top things off, add crispy made-to order fries or onion rings and a cold beverage and you’re in Burger heaven.

    Killer Burger was founded by TJ Southard in 2010, when he opened the first location in Portland’s Hollywood District. As of July 2025, there are 24 locations, with many more in the works.

    Cascade KB, LLC is a LOCAL, independently owned, and operated franchise of Killer Burger, with locations in Salem, Gresham and now Bend. We also have territorial rights to the Boise, ID trade area and plan to open our first Boise location in June of 2026. Our current development agreement calls for 13 Killer Burger locations in total and we're excited to continue building the Killer Burger brand! If you're looking for a company with opportunity for advancement, look no further.
