The cheeseburger at Butcher Burger comes highly recommended by diners, who particularly rate the flavorful patty with crispy edges and the oozing cheese.
The cheeseburger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, Cheddar, and a special block sauce on a fluffy bun.
LoveFood continues by noting that customers also rave about the crinkle-cut Butcher fries, and that Butcher Burger has been operating since 2014, again, with locations in Bethel and Portland.
