Bless Your Heart Burgers

History

BYHB was established by John and Renee Gorham in February 2017 at Pine Street Market in southwest Portland's Old Town Chinatown. It was John Gorham's seventh restaurant and the first in Portland to use Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe potato rolls. A subsequent location opened at the hotel Atticus in McMinnville in 2018 but operated only a few months.

The Concordia location opened in July 2019 in a former Cannon's Rib Express space. The business was owned by Toro Bravo Inc. until 2020, then by Sesame Collective. A Vancouver location opened in December 2022.
