    Bacon Lettuce Tomato Cheeseburger
    Winn H.

    Astro Burger is a name I've seen on forums asking for classic LA eats. It's a classic American diner with chili, too. I had their Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Cheeseburger - $15! At this price point, it rivals a regular restaurant, and that's before including fries, a drink, and tip. There's something special about this, though. Everything looked like a cheaply made burger BUT the taste threw me off. The bacon? Fresh and crispy! The veggies? Fresh and crispy, too! The patty? Juicy like all the rest. The real shocker came minutes after I devoured that burger. Normally, my stomach would feel iffy after such a meal. However, everything somehow felt healthy and whole after this meal. Not a single hint of indigestion or bloatedness... what's the secret?! Now, parking may feel intimidating in WeHo, but rest assured, there are ample parking spots along the street and in the residential area 1-3 blocks away, so long as you don't mind getting some steps in.

    I stopped by this Astro Burger location yesterday morning to try their burgers since I was already going across the street to get my wife and my sister their coffee. I found parking easily because I came right when they open. People were already dining inside so I think they open a little earlier. I asked the lady working the cashier which burger should recommend and she said all of them are good because they are known for their burgers. So I got the bacon cheeseburger and ordered the fries too. It didn't take them long to make my food and when I got back from picking up the coffee across the street, my food was ready for pickup. I took it home to eat it there. The bacon cheeseburger was okay but I did not like the fries at all. It was more crispy and crunchy but lack favor. Eating the bacon burger did not get messy at all. This burger place is nice to try once but I'll stick to my usual burger spot. They also charge a fee for paying with card which is unfortunate.

    Walked here after hanging out at a nearby park. Ordered the double cheeseburger added bacon and a bacon avocado burger and a small side of fries. The fries were good and crispy and a nice portion. Love the bacon on the burgers. Super crispy and a good amount. Good amount of avocado. Overall a good place to grab a quick bite to eat.

    I swear ya'll sleeping on these tacos...best in LA - I promise. There is an Astro Burger near me, but the tacos here are sooooo much better and more fresh!

    Cheeseburger and fries

    Astro Burger is the quintessential old-school "burger joint" that is so hard to find these days! It has that nostalgic old school diner vibe, think "Pulp Fiction" cerca 1994. I love that they put pastrami on their burgers. I think that makes them super unique. I had to try it, because what's better than meat with more meat on top. They even let me get it lettuce-wrapped which I really appreciated. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion, and loaded with a big slab of pastrami and cheese. I absolutely loved it. And I loved sitting at the diner-style booth as well. I tried some fries and those were good too, crisp and perfectly salted. The servers were super friendly and made you feel like you were at home there. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back for more, from the minute you walk in. Please never change!

    After a night of dancing, I was hungry and I always know I can count on a great burger from Astro Burger! The burger was cooked, medium rare and cooked to perfection! I don't eat bread so I asked them for a lettuce wrapped burger. The service was great and quick! Before I left, I had dropped my debit card and when I went back in and they asked the name on it and they gave it back to me! This place is great because it's open till 3 AM and the food is always fresh!

    Astro burger is a local favorite, they have a pretty descent selection of food. More than burgers only and everything on their menu is fire, tastes great. The diner has a small indoor dining area and a very ample outdoor eating area. Freshly made food paired with excellent service, really makes it difficult to order just one thing. On the real though this reminds me of those classic diners you'd hit up with your friends and family when you were a kid. I just wish they had chilaquiles lol! But that's a personal preference because whatever they're doing, sure seems to work for them. Definitely recommend this spot if ever in the area and you're in the mood for some great tasting food, that won't break the bank.

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Steve S.

    My friend, some 20 years ago, said he will pay for my meal if I try their chicken quesadilla and since that day, that's mostly the only thing I've been having at Astro Burger. The quesadilla is outstanding! They grill the chicken and the large tortilla with cheese and fill it up with diced tomatoes, onions, some herbs and avocado. The combination is unparalleled. The vast part of the tortilla somewhat traps the juices of all the fine ingredients and as you close in for a bite, you're getting one juicy bite every time, full of flavor. The marriage of tender texture of the yummy ingredients and the perfect crispy texture of the tortilla, make this quesadilla feast a close to perfect, elevated experience. Super tasty, super good! The place looks like a standard diner with a bunch of booths inside and a dining patio on the outside. The service is friendly and attentive. And don't let the simplicity of this place fool you, cause it's legendary. Even Hillary Swank, right after winning her Best Actress Oscar, went straight to Astro Burger for her fix!

    Stopped in for a quick bit and ordered their charred cheeseburger with a side of fries and a Coke. The burger was everything and then some. The fries cooked crisp. The coke was fountain perfect. Place gets mad busy. The food really delivered! Excellent!

    I was in the area and ready for some midnight munchies. I'm a chili cheeseburger fan so I ordered this since it was on the menu. Luckily I got there when I did because more hungry patrons showed up. The burger ended up being pretty good but nothing near the perfection of a Tommy's burger.

    Fish and Chips comes with a fresh green salad and Texas Toast.

    Oh what a wonderful find. ASTRO Burger had the parking and the service and the delicious foods. The counter lady was friendly and helpful. No problem ordering the juicy cheeseburger that the lovely missus says was super. Son was hungry and he knows this place has good food. A tuna melt and a plump pastrami sandwich filled the stomach and for sure we shared that crunchy battered onion rings for good measure. I wanted dinner and the Fish and Chips plate was a great choice and it comes laden with fries and a side of fresh green salad and a cheesy Texas Toast. We couldn't ask for a better impromptu and clean surrounding little diner with a service oriented place than ASTRO Burger. Yes, this place has the holiday spirit with decor and background music to fit the season's greetings. Definitely would return given a chance to be in the area again.

    Super hot French fries. Fantastic burger made to order. The flavor leans toward backyard grilled burgers you would make yourself. Way faster service than in-n-out. Friendly staff. Occasional star sighting. The restaurant is decorated for the holidays. For what it is, it's perfect. What is it you ask? It's a classic burger joint. The establishment is high traffic to say the least. It felt like Grand Central Station while I was there and yet somehow the bathroom was still clean. I noticed one thing that might explain why this place runs so smoothly; the staff is older and really knows their role. If you just sit back and watch them it's like a choreographed dance. There's no one directing anything. They're just all working hard non-stop. Plus they all seem genuinely happy to be working here. It's a feel good establishment. You should go.

This one is actually in WeHo east of La Cienega in kind of an upmarket strip mall. It was just strolling distance from our hotel, so it was the ideal spot for a casual dinner before venturing onto Santa Monica Blvd for the PRIDE festivities. We actually had the foresight to make a reservation and were initially seated inside next to the bar where a couple of loud sluggos were holding court. To his immense credit, the host noticed the noise and asked if we would prefer a quieter seat in the patio. This was LA, so hell yeah. We were grateful. The menu has many delectable specialties, though we were feeling conscientious and focused on their salads. Jamie ordered the $24 Mexican Chopped Salad, a robust mix of grilled chicken, chopped romaine and arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, radishes, avocado, and queso fresco, drizzled with lemon vinaigrette (Photo 9). It was a Cal-Mex delight. I went with the $25 Oaxaca Cactus Salad with grilled shrimp, fresh cactus, diced tomatoes, red onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and queso fresco. It was liberally mixed with tomatillo dressing (Photo 8). The cactus provided a nice, crunchy texture. We also shared the $10 Grilled Seasonal Veggies, a tasty mix of carrots, zucchini, and summer squash (Photo 7). But don't be too impressed by our healthy choices because we went for the $12 Mexican Bunuelos (Photo 10). Crispy, thin fritters topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh takes on Mexican, well executed AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...the patio was nice even as it started to crowd SERVICE - 4.5 stars...the host was on the ball, the server was aces TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely a nice, casual find in WeHo RELATED - Exploring West Hollywood?

Overall Great atmosphere, solid food, and a fun place for birthdays or date nights. I'd definitely come back!!

    We came to Ka'teen specifically for their Dine LA menu and made a 6:45 PM reservation. When we…read morearrived, we were told the Dine LA menu was already sold out--which was confusing since they open at 6 PM. Our waiter then told us we needed a specific Dine LA reservation, something that was never mentioned when I called or when I made the reservation. I've been to plenty of Dine LA restaurants and have never experienced this. The service wasn't necessarily bad, but it was very dismissive. No apology, no real explanation--they basically just brushed it off. Thankfully, the food saved the night! The Michelada oysters were TO DIE FOR--seriously one of the best oyster flavors I've ever had. We also had the short rib plate, which was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere and decor are really cute too. I would come back, but ONLY for those oysters--definitely not for the service.

    I saw this spot on yelp and it had really good reviews so we decided to check it out. I am so glad…read morewe did because this is now one of my favorite Mexican restaurants of all time. The food was excellent, and the service was so attentive. Parking may be a bitch here, but that should not prevent you from trying this place. Valet is $14, could be worse. The food and drinks are very affordable here anyways. To start, we ordered a ceviche and a couple drinks. I ordered the La Seductora and they made it a little spicy per my request. It was fantastic and did the job. Amazing flavor. Ceviche was also good. The star of the show was the main courses and our dessert. I ordered a shrimp taco and a fish taco and both were some of the greatest tacos I've ever had. The shrimp was so yummy and wasn't overcooked. The grilled fish taco was also very tasty. My fiancé ordered enchiladas, and I gave it a try and it was so yummy!!!! For dessert, we ordered the La Bamba which was THE BOMB!!! you can't come here and not try it. This place is a 10 out of 10 I would come back for sure.

    Came here with a group of friends. Made a reservation and were seated right away. The chips and…read moreguacamole were really good. I ordered the guava margarita and it was just okay. I should've stuck with a strawberry margarita, you really can't go wrong there. For dinner, I had the chicken flautas. They were alright. The chicken lacked flavor, which made the dish a bit bland overall. The beans were seasoned well and the rice was good too, but the portion was pretty small. The ambiance was nice! Dimly lit and a bit on the smaller side, but it filled up quickly on a Saturday night. It definitely has a fun, lively vibe and the music was great. I'd come back and give it another try.

    Great spot food is amazing. Carlos, our waiter, was the nicest! We had a blast…read more I highly recommend the food and the ambiance

    Really brings me no pleasure to do this, but this is my forth visit and it was such a step down…read morefrom the previous visits. End of the day, a $68 bill pre-tip for a less than genrous plate of ($16??) guac and 4 very small tacos with no rice or beans included and one draft Modelo is just unacceptable. The tacos were adequate, but unspectacular. 'Filet mignon' tacos were a single unchopped hunk of meat well flavored but so bare and small for 2x $22. The guac was too refrigerated, with not fully ripened avocado that resulted in an overly sweet taste and slightly firm texture that was unpleasant. Chips were also just not very good, and also not as far as I could tell complimentary. Service gets high marks for speed and efficiency, but felt super impersonal. Example, a server asked us how everything was while we were clearly just sitting there, not having tasted any of it waiting for some limes to arrive at the table. Just asked the question without surveying at all, and it was very performative and not genuine. Which is fine. I'm not at all mad at the servers, tough job but worth noting when noting the tip % options on the POS. End of the day I don't know if I'll be back or not. Everybody has an off day. But just about every aspect was less than stellar(draft beer was excellent) especially compared to three previous excellent visits. It's getting harder to justify going out for dinner, and at these prices, I would hope they could do a little better.
