Bend, Ore. (KTVZ) — Killer Burger has opened its doors in Bend.
The chain started in Portland, but has opened stores all across Oregon. They’ve set up shop in Eugene, Medford, Salem – and now here, next to the new Costco. The burger shop is one of the first businesses to move into the new shopping area next to the Costco on U.S. Highway 20.
What makes Killer Burger unique, they say, is their precision-crafted gourmet burger. They pride themselves on making each burger to exact specifications, and the interesting ingredient combinations.
There’s no better example of this than their flagship burger, with peanut butter, pickle AND bacon.
“It’s a burger that most people actually haven’t ever heard of before,” Logan Miller, the new general manager of our Killer Burger told us Monday. “So when they hear about it with Killer Burger, it’s kind of pretty iconic. It’s what we’re known for. A lot of people think it’s a very weird combination, but it definitely works! And we think you should try it when you come by.”
Right now, their menu includes a burger with Swiss cheese fondue, blue cheese crumbles and bacon. Another is filled with roasted green chiles and covered in Monterey Jack cheese.
However, if you’re not feeling adventurous, the menu also includes standard burgers, chicken strips and well-seasoned fries.
“I think we’re going to fit in really well,” Miller said. “I know that Bend loves their fast casual restaurants, so I think we’re going to do great here.”
This new location also means new employment: Killer Burger is currently hiring.
