Reviews
It was practically empty during lunch , since it was raining outside and 12.31.25 almost new year.
I got the double cheeseburger combo.
Burger was delicious, the beef had flavor, like you could tell you are eating pure beef.
The French fries was nice and crispy.
Their special sauce was pretty delicious also.
The beef flavor definitely might not be for everyone.
The place looks great inside. Super clean, cool vibe, and there’s a bar literally sharing the same space, so if you want a beer with your burger, you’re covered. Good draft beer selection too, or so I’m told. I didn’t drink beer, but the taps looked impressive.
Menu’s simple. Smashburger, prime rib burger, fries, ice cream, and drinks. That’s it. No salads. No secret menu. No “build your own.” You come here for a burger and fries, period.
I ordered the Double Smash with fries and a drink. Everything is à la carte, so if you want chilies or extra sauce, they’ll happily charge you a buck here, a buck there. I added chilies thinking I’d get roasted jalapeños or something interesting. Nope, three pepperoncini in a plastic cup. One dollar! Not the end of the world, but yeah… I noticed.
Food landed and the first thing I saw was a lot of fries. Good thing too, because the burger looked a little small for a double. Smashburgers are always on the thinner side, so I expected that, but for the hype I figured it would be a little more… substantial.
Flavor-wise? Solid. Good sear, good seasoning, cooked well. But best smashburger in L.A.? Not for me. I’d give it a 7 out of 10 on flavor. I’ve had smashburgers elsewhere that add little upgrades grilled peppers, specialty sauces, crispier edges, that take things up a tier. This one was good, but not memorable.
What really dropped the score was the price. My combo with the chilies ended up just over $20. That’s a lot for a burger that didn’t blow my hair back. Size-to-price ratio matters to me, and this combo felt like a $14–$15 meal, not $20+. The fries were generous, but I basically ate them to fill the space the burger didn’t.
Was it bad? Not at all. It just wasn’t “drive across town for it” good. And when I know places like “The Win-dow” up the street exist, better prices, more options, and still great smashburgers it’s hard to justify coming back here.
So overall: good burger, great fries, nice spot, friendly people… but not worth the price tag. I’m glad I tried it, but next time I’m in the neighborhood, I’m heading somewhere else.
Final rating: 6/10. Good, not great, and not a repeat for me.
$20 for a double combo. Extremely limited drink selection. They had coke, sprite, and maybe 2 other selections. They have some craft sodas that you can pay an up charge for.
Really disappointing honestly, I was excited to try this place. It just feels like a carbon copy of a lot of successful smash burger joints in LA.
Parking is also horrible.
The service was good.
They’ve got merch.
Tons of fries to distract from a tiny burger. Potato bread bun. NO MUSTARD! Argh! Awful sweet pickles. The fries were just ok.
Parking is difficult to find. Meter parking available.
Enjoyed every bite of the triple burger and did I tell you they sell unsalted patties for your fur friends.
The staff was really friendly and present.
