MidCity SmashedBurger (also known as MidCity SmashBurger) is a small chain of burger restaurants based in Portland, Oregon, United States. Chef Mike Aldridge started the business as a pop-up restaurant in New Orleans in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic before relocating to Portland and relaunching as a food cart in early 2021. MidCity specializes in smash burgers, which have meat pressed directly on a flat-top grill. Elsewhere in Oregon, MidCity has operated in Bend and Beaverton. The restaurant has garnered a positive reception and has been praised for serving some of the best burgers in Portland and Central Oregon.
