About this business

As you walk into this unusual tavern, you are compelled to look up at the ceiling, because decorating it are a 1000 different caps. Just as you are unsure as to what to make of it, you realize that these are autographed by baseball greats over time. Helvetia Tavern occupies a small space in the beautiful country farmland of Hillsboro. People flock here from all over the state for their generously-sized jumbo burger, which is seasoned with the odd-sounding yet tasty ingredient Goop. In a signature style, all their burgers and... read more

Usually the best in town. 2 out of 3 of us got very ill December 16th, 2019. we had cheeseburgers and onion rings. It was like food poisoning all night. Only two of us had the onion rings. Did anyone else have this happen? The restaurant needs to know.

I was just at the Helvetia Tavern for the first time in years. I can see why some folks would complain about greasy fries and skinny burgers... These are not gourmet burgers or fries. They are the fries and burgers that made burger joints a major part of the American landscape... Okay, my cardiologist would scream at me for tonight, but it was worth it!!

Once upon a time they had good burgers, they had good service and they were the closest watering hole to many rural families (which means that dad and mom went there for a quick break), but things have changed... They serve average bar burgers at a gourmet burger price. The "famous" jumbo burger is 9.25!! It's mostly bread. Yes, the fries are "fresh" potatoes, but the onion rings come from the freezer I'm pretty sure, and are not worth what they charge. And now at a tavern (which is what really throws me for a loop, because ... read more

The best burger (and best onion rings) in the city. A bit of a drive, but excellent burgers, fries, and onion rings. If you're a burger fan, this is the pinnacle.

LOVE this place! It is by far the BEST burgers I have had in the Portland/Hillsboro area! Great prices, always great service and food.

I was here a couple nights ago and the place was packed (as usual) 10 min wait tops, great food, fun environment, good service. There aren't that many neat places left like this, so if you get the chance I definitely recommend going to Helvetia Tavern. Its a little out of the way but once you get up there its so secluded and peaceful. If you go during the day sometimes there are animals right across the street that my family really enjoyed, and don't get me started on the hats! My kids ask "How many hats do you think there a... read more

So I'm having a beer with my buddy on a Friday night and this guy comes in and it's obvious the waitress Erica knows him and doesn't want him there. Instead of getting her boss she starts cussing at him, dropping f bombs and a lot of other inappropriate language. All I wanted was a relaxing night and a few beers, def won't be coming back here after that tirade.

Really!!!! – The highlight of my trip was walking in the door. My fries (which were greasy) showed up ten minutes before my burger (which was so dry it was hard to swallow) and the side of mayo had pickle chunks in it (I don't care for pickles on my burger), also I was not offered a refill of my coffee. All in all it was a bad experience!
