About Nancy Jo's Burgers

“The proof is in the pudding” is what my mom always use to say. We don’t sell pudding but once you taste our burgers you’ll know just what she meant. Let me tell you a little about us. Our burger buns are a special recipe that’s not too soft and not too hard. It’s just right. Our meat patties are 100% fresh ground sirloin, then formed right when we cook them.

Everything we do is done fresh daily. Even our potatoes are imported from Idaho and they make the best fries. Our oil was chosen over 14 other brands. We offer five different cheese’s and 16 different toppings.

So when you hear “It’s a Nancy Jo's burger,” just like mom used to say—the proof is in the pudding. Hope to see you soon, and tell us “mom” sent you.

Thank you so much!
Nancy Giddens

Others Talk Perfection, We Offer Perfection.

Founded in September of 2012, Nancy Jo’s is a burger concept that is changing the way our current customers and new customers think about burgers. We set out to make a burger so great that it becomes the definition of what a burger should be. Nancy Jo’s Burgers & Fries has received praise from a number of news outlets since its inception, including being voted Best Burger in the Willamette Valley  from 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Others talk perfection, we offer perfection.

Nancy Jo’s Burgers has now opened 7 locations to meet the demands of our customers. We will now start offering franchises in Oregon and beyond in the spring of 2024.  We have made our mark with meticulously crafted and award-winning burgers that redefine the true American burger to our customers. Each quality ingredient is layered on top of a perfectly seared patty between our own special recipe bun to make each bite a wonderful burger experience. All of our burger creations come with over a 1/2 million ways to order them (yes, you can order a Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Burger also). This burger is only 1 of over ½ million specials you can order any time you order one of our award-winning burgers. They also come with 5 different cheeses, 2 types of lettuce, and 16 other toppings and choices. Can you believe we have that many specials? Do the math and have fun with all the combinations, that’s the way it should be. Save time download our Nancy Jo’s Burgers app or order online so your food is ready when you get here.

Nancy Jo's Smash Burger

Using our customized metal smasher, designed to perfectly fit our oversized & thick patties, we press each of our Steak ground Beef patties on the hot seasoned grill & sear for 45 seconds. This caramelizes the patty and creates a flavorful crust, forcing the juices and flavor in the meat upwards. This is a trade secret. With a solid grasp on food science and our desire to create a top-notch burger, there truly is a method to our Nancy Jo’s Burgers.

Behold the Maillard Reaction. When our premium steak burger heats up on the grill, a reaction occurs, in fact, you've probably experienced this first-hand without even realizing it! Most delicious things in this world result from the Maillard Reaction, as it produces a browning effect that comes jam-packed with mouthwatering flavors, aromas, and crispy caramelization. This is why we smash our burgers to create the Ultimate Smash Burger (oh for the love of science!)
