Fab smashed burger and fries! Generous portions, true to its name. Outdoor seating by the beach. Nice lads running the restaurant.

I ordered just a single burger with fries, but I could barely get through half of what was served. Perhaps I’m just not built for hardy American food. But I still enjoyed my meal nonetheless.

8/10

Great burgers and fries and awesome beer selection. Their flavors are on point, their heavy sauce has a really nice acidity to it. Fries are super crispy. Kind of wish the burger had a bit more crispness in texture in the patty and bun but otherwise very nice.

A solid smash burger. The place seems to be entirely outside in the elements, but it’s very clean. They have great lamps for the chill.

A double burger, fries and drink will be $18.

This is a burger that wants to be iconic. The place itself sets the tone with the aesthetic anything but subtle: super bright colors, massive digital screens with glossy close-ups of burgers and fries. The menu shouts at you with a megaphone.

The short rib patties are generous and meaty. The bun holds its shape. Everything’s in place, but the spark isn’t there. The house sauce plays it safe and the crispy edges you expect never quite arrive. The fries are thick-cut, diner-style. A lot of them, yes. Too many even. You pick at them, then stop. While the name promises a bold hit what you get is far more gentler. You’ll walk away full, sure, but not fulfilled, and you might not be thinking about it tomorrow.

Best smash-styled burger I’ve had in California period. The meat is WELL seasoned and prices very fair. $3 for a sharable size of fries, can’t beat that.

Two double burgers, fries, unlimited drinks and extra house sauce for $30.

This hamburger joint, renowned for its smash burgers, is ideally situated on Main Street in Santa Monica, between Ashland Avenue and Kinney Street. For your convenience, a paid parking lot is right behind the shop. The burgers here are exceptional—juicy smashed patties nestled between soft burger buns, topped with perfectly melted cheddar cheese that elevates the flavor to another level. The special sauce adds an irresistible twist, making this burger stand out among the many I’ve tried. Given the high-quality, the price is quite reasonable.

While the service leaves something to be desired, with our order being taken incorrectly (resulting in us missing the combo), the overall experience is still enjoyable. The vibrant mural enhances the unique dining atmosphere. Only outdoor seating is available at this location.

Hands down the best smash burger on the West Side! Kristen at Heavy Handed made the whole experience even better with her great service. The burger absolutely destroys anything you’d get at Shake Shack—perfectly crispy edges, juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sauce and toppings.

We also got the basket of fries, and wow—easily enough for four people. We barely made a dent in it, but every bite was worth it. Super crispy and seasoned just right.

Another cool touch: they had a bunch of great merch for sale right by the walk-up order and pick-up window. Definitely makes you want to rep the brand after tasting that kind of quality. Can’t wait to come back!

Always hard for me to judge burger joints as a vegetarian, however I have thumbs up from the rest of the family when it comes to this place. Their burger are pretty loaded with a great patty, a handful of pickles, a slice of cheese and their secret sauce. The place is breathing LA, with a window counter to order and pick up and two large outdoor spaces to eat on site. Their fries portion is generous and if you have still some room for more food, try their ice cream. Definitely a great place to take a break from the beach or simply go with some friends for a quick bite on a Friday night.

We’ve been wanting to try these burgers for a while and today was the day!

My boyfriend got a double while I got a single with hot chilies on the side. Their house sauce was really tasty and creamy and their fries were fried to perfection. The patty of the Smashburger was thin and crispy and the overall flavor was there. Thank goodness for the paper packaging though as this burger was a bit messy.

Not rating atmosphere as we took our burgers to go, but there was lots of seating available in a cute uncovered patio setting .

Heavy Handed is truly one of a kind! Their outdoor plaza seating and public street setup create the perfect laid-back atmosphere to enjoy some of the best burgers and fries around. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends, the open-air vibe makes every visit feel special. The food is incredible, the energy is unbeatable, and the whole experience is just next level. Definitely a must-visit spot!
