I was new and didn't know. The whole place was great and pretty clean. I got a single regular burger and an order of sweet potato fries. It was quick and hot and plenty for me. My family did like the fries but I could've gulped it in a heartbeat. A real must try. Sorry no photos - it was so good it was gone in a minute or two

May 2026 - 2nd Visit…read more A girl broke things off with me today, and yet somehow eating here was the lowest point of my day. I don't understand how this place has won awards. I ordered a double hamburger and sweet potatoes fries bc I knew better than to order the sprouts after last time. And I have to say, the burger outdid itself after last time -- I've easily had dozens of better burgers in backyards. This burger had NO flavor. None. Halfway through eating it I realized they didn't put any effing pickles or sauce on it. WHAT?! How did you forget this?! But still, even without those, are you guys not smashing any season into your burger? I feel like I've discovered a conspiracy on par with the Da Vinci Code, which if I'm honest I'm not sure if that's a proper conspiracy analogy bc I never saw or read da Vinci code. Sucking a ketchup packet would've resulted in a more flavorful dinner. Licking a Hollywood blvd sidewalk for 3 seconds would give you a better sodium intake. But I digress. For health and digestive reasons (bc my digestive system is not really functional) I snuck in a radish to eat post burger. I am not kidding when I say the grocery store GMO Monsanto radish had more flavor than the burger. The sweet potato fries were the "highlight" of the meal and tasted as good as anything you'll get in a grocery store frozen aisle. There's no reason to ever go back.

Returning customer, love to support…read more This time around I placed an order for the chili cheese fries, and I also went with a single smashed burger. I was starving and couldn't wait to try out the fries. Perfectly served, fresh cheese topped and chili cheese tasted great, not too salty. Presentation was great! I literally devoured the whole thing. The fries were cooked perfectly, not too greasy and crispy. I added ketchup on top and made it even better. The smashed burger was also delicious, flavorful, including a soft bun(bread), savory smashed meat. 5/5 for everything I will continue to support when I am at the brewery visiting. A very happy lady overall.

The lady at the window was super nice! We decided to eat in the hallway adjacent to the kitchen, it was a nice warm night and the hall has a bunch of cool plants hanging Let's get into it!! I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS! It was so good I was pouring it on the last few bites of my burger. Do yourself a favor and get some classic sauce and pour that stuff right on your burger, you won't be disappointed! Check it out!!

No overthinking it, just burgers done right. Both were solid, no complaints. Staff is cool too. Nice, patient, not rushing you even when it's busy, which I always appreciate. Only real downside is seating... but honestly that's kinda the deal with all their locations. You either find a spot or you're eating like you just made a life decision on the sidewalk. That said, it's still one of those spots you can just pull up to, get a good burger, and keep it moving. Next time I already know -- I gotta try the patty melt.

I typically order my food for pickup and walk over as soon as I receive the text message confirmation. My order consisted of 1 steakhouse slim thicc, 1 large regular fries, 1 can of coke which came up to $21.95, which I feel is slight pricey, but I'm willing to pay for the great quality of meat used in the burger. But for the first time patronizing this establishment I notice an automatic tip was applied to my bill in the amount of $4.00 bringing my total to $25.95.for a single patty burger, plain shoestring fries and a can of coke, which might I add, the fries were cold, and this was not due to the time I picked them up. They typically give you a 25-30 min pick up time after the order is placed. I arrived 15 minutes early and received a text shortly after stating my order was ready. I proceed to pick up the order and return back to my office in about 5-6 minutes before eating. Within this time frame my fries were already cold. Again, the burger is of very good quality meat. But placing an automatic tip of $4 on an already expensive burger that I have to go pick up myself seems unreasonable.

Exactly how it's described and they delivered it--so good! SINGLE BURGER - $9 3oz patty with cheese, butter toasted bun, mayo, chopped chilies, onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce.

The building is located right on Imperial, and parking is available down the small side street, in a little lot behind the kitchen, or in a vacant lot next to the kitchen lot. You walk up to what looks like a house, and order, and wait for your number. There's nowhere really to sit, and there doesn't seem to be inside dining, so I sat on the curb and waited until my number was called. In that time, plenty of people stopped by to grab their orders, and some checked out the little store next door that seems to have just about everything you could possibly need, but you have to get it through the fence. The women who took my order and handed it to me were very friendly, the food was hot and fresh, and it is VERY reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. The fries are EXACTLY what I look for! Thick, super crunchy, perfectly salted, and you get a generous amount. The Fat Burger was made exactly as I ordered it, and had that perfect "neighborhood burger joint" greasiness and char that made it amazing. Everything came carefully packed in a box so I could eat it on the way home, and I got plenty of napkins and ketchup (though I hate ketchup!). These are the places that make LA great, and I will definitely go back again to try other items, and to support what is the one of the oldest consistently running Black owned restaurants in the country (started in 1939!), now run by a woman (daughter of the original owner!), and USC alum! Fight on!
