    Large Fatburger (1/2 lb.)
    Stuart B.

    This location is in a little mini mall with easy and free parking, just off Ventura Boulevard. It's very clean and my large Fatburger was very juicy, fresh and delicious. There's a lot of seating inside which makes it feel just a little cramped if you dine in, but there are large windows which make it feel more airy and I found a nice table right by the window. There was a line of about 5 people waiting, but my order was fast. Pleasant service and you order from a window inside. This location also has their Buffalo's Express chicken, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Came here on Saturday night hoping that this location would be better than the Van Nuys location. I was wrong. They equally suck. Many many years ago, Fatburger was one of my favorite burger joints. I don't know what happened but the meat is simply not good. It was overly salty. There was some much mustard in the burger, I couldn't taste anything other than salt and mustard. However, the service was good and the ingredients were fresh. It's just the meat I didn't care for at all. I must say, though, there burgers are quite large and they use all the ingredients I typically like in my burgers. Their fries with seasoning salt are also not bad. If you're a fan of fatburger, don't forget to get the frequent buyer customer card.

    Never heard of this place until the day we went and it was good! I enjoyed the thicker steak burger and the toppings together made for a very good classic American burger. Fries were good too! Prices were more than I expected but they're better burgers than most other fast food places so it tracks. Glad to have visited it was tasty I'd definitely come.back!

    I am always in the mood for a good burger and Fatburger definitely fulfilled my burger craving! The outside had a couple of homeless people that were quite aggressive but the staff was amazing. This was my first time here so after reviewing the menu and asking questions, I decided to go with the regular burger and skinny fries. The burger was pretty big, I believe 1/3 lb of beef which I assume is average size for a burger. They did have one smaller size as well. The burger was fresh but it I felt like the patty could have more seasoning. I added jalapeños to my burger which added a nice kick to the relish that was already on the burger. I enjoyed my meal overall!

    I have not had a fat burger in maybe 10 years! Forgot how good they are. Prices have definitely gone up but that's true for everything. Burger and skinny fries were on point!

    Ok any place mentioned by Biggie & Ice Cube in their song has to be fire. I'm pescatarian so I ordered the veggie burger and fat fries. Got peppers on the side. Been getting this combo for years but it was my first time at the Studio City location. Definitely hit the spot and satisfied my veggie burger craving. recommend added a side of the peppers (which are free) I came at an excellent time right before the dinner rush. It started to get busy about 15 minutes before I left. Will definitely be returning to Fat Burger!

    Nice lunch spot for a group of employees. If someone wants burgers and other people want wings. This is the spot to go. Fresh made to order.

    Online receipt.

    The plan for dinner was to order online and pick up on the way home. I decided to take advantage of the 420 offer that was only available with online ordering. I'm their words, it was an OG Fat for $4.20. I also added extras as I was breaking my 24 hour fast. I ordered the Skinny combo with diet Pepsi and a side of onion rings for an up charge of $1 to change from fries. I added a second 420 with the wheat bun. I paid for the order at 4:16 pm, text and email confirmations were received. I drove to the Studio City location to get my dinner. Heads up, the parking lot is tiny. There is metered street parking and also two hidden spaces by the dumpster behind the building. I walked into an empty dining room. I checked in and was given my cup to dispense my drink from the Pepsi soda fountain. It took about 25-30 minutes for the order to be completed. I took my bag of food that includes ketchup packets and napkins. The aroma of hamburgers and onion rings filled the cabin of the car as I drove home. I was getting hungry as I drove down the 101 freeway. I got home and sampled the onion rings. These might be a little crunchier if you eat your food in the dining room. The first burger I ate was the OG wheat. The bun was somewhat drier that I thought. There was a lot of mustard, pickle, and onion flavor in each bite. I had to try the other OG on white. This bun was much better and softer. Sorry, no review on the Skinny burger as it's being saved for tomorrow's dinner. Oops, according to the receipt there is no Skinny, it's another OG Fat. Aww. I'll need to give Fatburger another try but dine in to see if the rings are hotter & crisper.

Once we arrived the interior had a relaxed, easygoing vibe, modern but cozy, with stylish design touches that made the whole space feel welcoming and unhurried.

Nearby were draped booths that would be perfect for a more romantic evening. Our server was, Haley...she was incredible. Very personable, helpful and extremely professional.

My wife and my sister got the filet migons, watching my wife's euphoric reaction of taking her fist bite made my evening! Omg...thankfully, my wife let me try garlic fries that came with the filets, and they were the best I ever had! I got the Langostino Fettuccine...outstanding. You have to dig a little spicy, which I do...but the vodka cream sauce is the real highlight of this dish. For deserts we got the apple cobbler, the creme brulee and sticky toffee cake. All three were fantastic. But I preferred the cobbler and the toffee cake the most. We didn't get the Le Petit Gateau, their chocolate cake...but we decided to get one to go! HA...it's unbelievably rich and pretty tall and big. It's topped with candied wild cheries...it's two days later and we're still eating this yummy treat. All in all...I would recommend this for any occasion...wether you're looking for just a night out with solid service and great food, to a romantic evening. We got there around 6...but later on there was live music with these two gentlemen on guitars that really played perfect atmosphere music. You can't go wrong with a night out at Firefly!

Especially if the bar staff is not going to do anything to help the situation. Very disappointing.

It's super close to me, parking wasn't too difficult, and the space delivered immediately -- dim red lighting, cozy and moody, perfect for a night out solo. They had a Passover specials menu that looked amazing. I was tempted by the open-faced Hillel sandwich with matzo, wasabi butter, apple, wine reduction, and pine nuts. The smoked brisket with Coca-Cola curry also looked great when it came out for the couple next to me -- until I overheard them say the meat was tough and they sent it back. That helped me decide. I started with the freezer martini, ordered with both a twist and an olive. Clean, cold, and exactly what I wanted. I almost ordered a second. For my first dish I ordered the saag burrata -- Indian-spiced creamed spinach with burrata and grilled baguette. Fantastic. The burrata was cool and creamy, the spiced spinach underneath was warm and deeply flavorful. My only note was the bread -- three very thin slices felt skimpy for the amount of dip. A couple more would've balanced it perfectly. For my main I ordered the OG burger, mostly because I'm a horseradish lover and was excited about the horseradish crème fraîche. About two bites in I noticed it was extremely rare -- and I'm someone who appreciates medium rare, but this was beyond that. I let the server know, he handled it graciously, apologized, and had it remade quickly. I appreciated that. He also ended up comping it, which I genuinely wasn't expecting and went a long way. At that point I was finishing my martini and ready to head home, so I took the burger to go. The next day I reheated it -- bun on, everything still on it, minute and twenty seconds in direct heat. The outside was noticeably darker and crispier than the first one, clearly cooked harder this time. The flavors were there. I added a little hot sauce and it was working -- until I got to the middle. Still raw. Chewy in a way that wasn't medium rare, wasn't even close. As a chef I know what a burger should feel like after that much heat. The fact that it reheated to piping hot on the outside and was still raw in the center tells me the issue was in how it was formed or how thick it was packed -- and I have the pictures to prove it. I'll be honest -- it didn't stop me from wanting to go back. It just means I'm never ordering the burger again, which genuinely makes me sad because the flavor profile was there. The horseradish could've been punchier and the pickled onion more present, but the bones of the dish were good. It just couldn't execute consistently, twice. What I know is that OyBar has something. The creativity is real, the vibe is real, the saag burrata alone is worth the trip. I wish I tried out the the Oy burger with hoisin ketchup and Dijon -- that sounds more like what I was looking for. And I already told a friend we need to come back to share a few dishes because the menu feels like it's built for that. Highlights: Freezer martini, saag burrata, moody atmosphere, creative progressive menu, server handled a tough situation with genuine grace Could improve: Burger temperature consistency (twice is a pattern, not a mistake), bread portion with the burrata, stronger horseradish presence
