Great double burger and fries! An actual smash burger, and with some tasty onions! I liked adding hot chilies to cut through a bit of the grease. The fries were delicious – didn’t taste like frozen fries like many other smash burger places. Tasty meal!

Their beef tallow fried French fries are so addictive! I literally keep coming back just for the fries. Lol Their smash burgers are fire!The service is friendly and they are always helpful and knowledgeable about beer suggestions. The graffiti art the entire building is done in makes it a great spot for influencers like me to post to my 750,000 followers! They love my posts from here bc there is always something cool to look at. Lol They are always playing some quality tunes on the sound system, so always good musical vibes.

The food was delicious and flavorful. My food tasted fresh, the restaurant was clean, and laid back – which was perfect to enjoy a burger! Sam took our orders and was friendly, helpful and had the patience to explain the menu to me. As a first-timer, I’ll definitely be comming back!
Dont miss out on the ice-cream and different flavor beers. Pretty cool burger spot!

Absolutely loved this place! The burger was super fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. Fries were golden and crunchy, just perfect. Great service and clean space too. Highly recommend for burger lovers!
Also, I highly recommend to try their ice cream too!

Disgusting. That was the most disgusting burger I’ve ever had in my entire life.
I’ve lived in Studio City for 10 years and this was my first time trying this place. It is an absolute misfit for the area. Everything around here is top tier, and this place does not belong.
My dad was visiting and craving a burger, and I suggested this spot because from the outside it looks great. It looks like it has potential. Huge mistake.
The burger itself was gross. Thin, sketchy patty with questionable meat, nasty melted cheese, and onions. No tomato. No lettuce. Just a sad, greasy mess on an extremely thin bun. At first glance it honestly looked like a Happy Meal burger from McDonald’s, and I haven’t had that since I was a kid, but I remember it tasting way better than this.
When I say it was gross, I mean truly gross. I took a few bites and gave the rest to my dog. That’s how bad it was.
The fries were also disgusting. Definitely frozen, stale, cold, and flavorless.
I genuinely don’t understand how this place is open. Total disappointment and absolutely not worth it.

I’ve been here multiple times since they opened up and it still shocks me at how good the burgers are here. We ordered the double and triple combos, which comes with fries and a cup for the fountain drinks. This place also has alcoholic drinks available which is an interesting idea for a fast casual place.
My favorite order is the double combo. The burger Patties had an amazing crust around them and the flavor of the meat is one of the best. Fries are basic but good and comes with a little container of sauce.
I didn’t get the soft serve this time but have ordered it in the past. In my opinion, the soft serve Ice cream was okay but all my friends really liked it so maybe see what you think about it. They prepare the Ice cream whenever you’re done with your food and ready for it, so it’s not sitting out there melting, I liked that idea, but it took a while to prepare. They also have a chocolate covered option.
Service was good, nothing really noteworthy since it’s a fast casual burger joint.
The ambiance has an interesting little twist here, in addition to the sound of groups of people having their own casual conversations amongst themselves, there is always some upbeat music playing in the background.
How this place works is you wait in line first to place your order, you’ll get a pager then find a seat and wait to get called to pick up your food at the counter next to the kitchen. If you also ordered soft serve ice cream, you’ll go back to the counter where you picked up your food, whenever you’re ready, and let them know you’re ready for your ice cream, at that point you’ll just wait at the counter until it is prepared for you.
There is a good amount of seating available, indoor/outdoor, it’s a very popular place so it can get full but we have not had a situation where we can’t find somewhere to sit. Haven’t ever waited in a crazy line either, the longest line has been like 5-6 people before us, they’re definitely keeping the people moving.
The parking can get a bit tricky at times, they have a parking lot for themselves but it can sometimes get packed during the busy periods, in those cases there is street parking which is usually not ideal in the immediate area.

The Pros:
So just want to start with the service is good. The staff is friendly. The vibe is very cool inside. I loved the funny movie posters. Presentation of the food looked appetizing. The fries (7.3/10) are good, I like it when it has a little crunch.
Unfortunately can’t say the same for the double burger (5.1/10). I thought it tasted pretty bland and the sauce didn’t really make it taste better. Unfortunately that’s not the worst part, there was a part of my burger that was undercooked pink and raw.
Bottom line
-Way overpriced for the quality of food (Double Double Animal Style from in-n-out is half the price and taste way better)
-Staff is friendly
-Fries = 7.3/10
-Undercooked Burger = 5.1/10

The food was phenomenal. Have to admit, took a bit long but it was well worth every minute.

The smash burgers at Heavy Handed ALWAYS hit!
They’re one of my tried-and-true spots that never disappoints when I’m craving some good burgers and fries.
You likely are aware that LA has become quite the hot spot for smash burgers. And while there’s a lot of solid options out there, a lot of them don’t quuiteee measure up to the hype from social media around them.
That’s not true when it comes to Heavy Handed, however. I legitimately LOVE this burgers and find them both the perfect quintessential smash burger while also having just enough of their own extra flair to make it unique.
The sauce is perfect, and I don’t know what it is about the pickles, but their flavor and crunch here is better than just about anywhere else that I’ve been.
Other options include fries, soft serve, and draft beers. I love all of them here – the fries are simple but beer battered to perfection.
I also find the prices here to be quite reasonable and comparable to most of the other smash burger spots in the LA area – and the burgers themselves always hit.
Parking can be a little tight, but there is plenty of street parking options. There’s also a nice outdoor patio space to relax on after placing your order.
Heavy Handed is legit, and I most certainly recommend!

The Service: Efficient! They don’t accept cash.
The Food: Order at the counter. Pick up at the bar.
Basically one type of burger, single, double or triple patties. Sorry…. no lettuce no tomato & no raw onion in their burgers. Maybe because no vege in the burger, it tastes too greasy with meat & melted cheese. However, huge portion of crispy fries!
BTW, they sell beers here! Dessert they have on the menu is ice cream (3 different flavors).
Tons of TV for sports in the restaurant.
The Parking: Private parking lot (free) and street metered parking.
