For my first visit to Farmer and the Beast in Northwest Portland's Nob Hill food carts, I had their Fancy Beast (pictured), which is their featured burger for Portland Mercury's Burger Week 2021. At $6, this is a delightful, fancy burger. Very good flavors. High quality beef (a Nicky USA dry aged blend), good seasoning, cooked to a perfect, slightly pink medium, bougie, gruyere cheese, a wave of sweetness from the bacon-caramelized onion jam and the potato bun, and a little punch from the zesty capers in the aioli. Fantastic! Roughly tied, as my favorite, of the nine that I have now tried, this Burger Week 2021 (though, again, I emphasize that none of them have been bad). I can instantly tell, these people know burgers! I will definitely be back to try other menu items. On a subsequent visit, I had the Watermelon Panzanella Bowl (pescatarian), which was fantastic. Very different, refreshing, and beautiful. It is a strange but brilliantly synergized mixture of textures and flavors; sweetness, light saltiness, and umami. This dish would be particularly amazing on a hot Summer day. If you like my photographs, feel free to follow me on Instagram for more casual greater-Portland-area foodventures.

I recently decided to visit this place based on the buzz surrounding their supposedly mouth-watering sandwiches. I, an ardent lover of burgers, went for their much-hyped 'Smash Burger', while my partner chose another popular sandwich, their chicken sandwich, from the menu. Upon our first bite, our expectations hit the ceiling but soon came crashing down. The Smash Burger, priced at a whopping $11, was mediocre at best. While it wasn't awful, it certainly didn't deliver the taste explosion that the price tag implied. However, the second sandwich – the one my partner ordered – outdid the first in disappointing us. It was so drenched in grease that it was rendered practically inedible. What was meant to be a deliciously indulgent meal quickly became a sloppy mess, so much so that it necessitated a small mountain of napkins to combat the deluge of oil. I've attached a picture here and you can see just how much oil we're talking about. I understand that some people may enjoy a certain level of greasiness in their sandwiches. However, this was way overboard, and frankly, felt like it undermined the ingredients' inherent flavors. This sandwich should come with a warning sign or perhaps a bib! Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

Oh I wanted so badly to enjoy this place, it looked like my kind of burger! We must have ordered at the wrong time, I think they were over-extended. When I arrived to pickup the food, I ended up having to wait another 30 minutes. They were getting hammered with people and online orders. We eventually did get our food and it was pretty good. The burger I'd say was decent, like much better than any fast food, but I don't know, there was something that was missing to take it to the next level. My wife agreed. The french fries were excellent! I also got the chicken sandwich which I thought would be stellar, but it was a little burnt to be honest, so the burnt bits sort of overpowered the taste. I think maybe this place is a victim of their popularity? I'd like to try them again at a less busy time. They definitely make some good food, but the night we went it wasn't quite there.

What a great food cart. Great options for meals here. I got the burger and it was absolutely amazing. The grilled onions on top were fantastic highly recommend getting that added on to your burger. Smash burger patties were super fresh and tender and so much flavor. Wasn't to big but not to small either it was perfect size. Fries were super fresh cooked perfectly and comes with a suace of your choice. I got the herbed ranch it was very unique take on ranch it was super good with the fries. Definitely going to make this my usual lunch spot. If you haven't tried this place you need to

They have a nice flavorful smash cheeseburger w special sauce. The sauce I feel has a bit of horseradish in it as it has just the slightest hint of heat but I like it on the burger. I would eat here again but my honest opinion is ....I feel the burger is a bit sloppy because of the sauce. The hamburger patty is thin prob 1/8lb. So the double is around 1/4lb for $10+$4 fries ($6 for garlic fries) and a drink w tip... Could run over $20. The GARLIC fries. They are the best I have ever had in Portland. Also, There is No where to park. Signs everywhere... No food cart parking.

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had. Absolutely delicious with a good amount of spice, heat, and great portion size. Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, this sandwiches is a beast and will leave you full for a good portion of the day. Farmer & the Beast puts together a satisfying meal after a nice hike in Forest Park. Don't forget to hydrate with the delicious watermelon lemonade that also helps cool the heat of the chicken sandwich.
