My friend Joel and had had lunch at the relatively new (ish) Pilot Butte Burger on the west side of Bend. This place is very different from the original Pilot Butte but is has the same menu. Joel had the Jalapeno Cheeseburger and I had the Western BBQ Cheeseburger. If I do NOT get a Tavern Burger, which is pretty rare, this is my next choice on the menu!
Jalapeno Cheeseburger - $10.25 - Spicy sliced jalapenos and melted cheddar cheese, with mayo, lettuce and tomato (onions on request)
Western BBQ cheeseburger - $10.95 - Two onion rings and loaded with BBQ sauce with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickles (onions on request). I really like this burger!
I love a good hamburger and regularly keep a top 10 list. It can't be just any old hamburger, however. It must come from what I call a burger joint. That means no fast food (except In-N-Out, and there aren't even any In-N-Outs in Oregon...yet), no chains, and preferably a local one store burger joint.
