I like the location which is right next to the movie theater. The place is spacious. The old homage to punch out is great! I've tried For the Win before and am impressed at how crispy the smash burger is. I tried the sweet potato fries as well. read more

1st time visiting. First off Joshua was awesome! Received excellent customer service, 2nd the smash burgers were so delicious! The whole family enjoyed every bite. I don't think they left one bite. read more

Would say it was okay overall. The burgers and fries are the items I ordered but would say for the middle score is because both were cooked inconsistent. The burger some parts were cooked like medium and other parts well done. I also believe if you just cooked raw onions in it that it would be okay since the grilled onion in it then cooked further just left a bitter taste for the burger. Fries were too salty on some parts and some over cooked and some were barely cooked. Parking can be found either in the street or the structure where the movie theater is read more

Very regular burger joint, the fries are fresh but only last 5 minutes, It gets soggy... I especially don't like they put the bun on the serving tray... how clean that tray can be?? Not much service and they only serve can soda .. read more

Really like the smash burger. The friends are generous. I wanted to try the broccoli, but they sold out. Next time.

Took my boy here to try the place since it was highly recommended by a friend. I am not a fan of those overcooked smashed patties...Place is pretty cold. You get to order thru the computer to cut labor. Sure, why not. Here goes $40. There are beers, another $8. Then, my son walk up and ask for water. The staff member informed him that if he wants water, he has to buy it. This is directive from the owner. Mister owner, that is some pretty lame thinking here. If we make the effort to come to your place, a glass of tap water is not going to kill you! Food is tasty but pretty small portions...I don't see a strong reason to be back. read more

We're here to pick up my sister's order online.. Her double double cheese burger but unfortunately, it was picked up by someone else.. we got confused how did it happened if it's order online for picked up (it is not for delivery to be picked up by someone else) it is unacceptable but things happened.. I've been here before.. the food is good, burger, fries and the shake, I loved it.. it is worth it, yes it is.. it is clean.. read more

I ordered Online for "PICK UP" and the crew working today 5/11/25 gave it away to the DoorDash Delivery Guy. I went home with my hopes of being my ordered delivered at home but I have NEVER received my order which I paid for. I tried calling the store and no one picks up. Staff could have been more helpful but cared less. Now, I have no lunch and end up Hungry. Thanks for the win for your horrible customer service. read more

The prices here are wild. I was craving a smash burger for lunch so I found this place on Yelp. Was debating between here and south pas smash, but didn't want to wait until dinner. Ended up spending over 30 bucks for one burger, one drink, and 2 fries (they charge for every and all toppings). No water cups are offered at all. And I left feeling quite unsatisfied with my burger. I like my smash burger with nice bites of salt, crispy edges but this felt like they used alot of garlic powder and the meat was dry instead or crisp?? I know smash burgers aren't supposed to be juicy but i feel like there a difference between crispy and dry). Lettuce tasted sad for something I paid 50 cents for. Overall I left not feeling my cravings satisfied. The one staff was friendly but everyone else was just there. Fries were nice and crispy. Plenty of seating, overall would not go again sadly. I ended up having to go to south pas smash anyways to satisfy my cravings which will be a different review. read more

Food was delicious as always! Amazing service from Sal and Enoch and Hein! Will definitely come back!

Went here on a Monday night. Service was excellent! The workers here are very nice and friendly.

I don't eat smash burgers often, but this is one of the best smash burgers I've had. It's a little pricey though. The sauce on the fries have a bit of a kick to it, but they're yummy! read more

I love this place! Josh and the rest of the crew are great! I highly recommend throwing some bacon on your burger!

I wouldn't say this is the best smash burger I've had but the double cheeseburger we had here was really good and hit the spot. The patty was really tasty! We also got brussel sprouts but they were too burnt/bitter than we preferred. Service was quick and friendly. Would come back for the burger! read more

People were really nice here, I came when it was close to closing and they were starting to clean up. Servers were really nice and even gave us a free drink. The fries here were really really good. They taste like a healthy (real) version of mcdonalds fries. This is my first experience eating a smash burger style and I thought it was decent. This rating is not relative to other smash burger places as I have never tried any other places. read more

For an excellent local smash burger, go to "For The Win." The burger is crispy, juicy and very tasty! Located in Alhambra's city center, a perfect spot for a great burger!

They're smash burgers. And they're pretty good burgers. No hype, no nonsense. Cheeseburgers, fries and a pop. Brought my fam in on New Year's Day because we were cruisin Main Street and got hungry. There were two people behind the counter and both were very friendly and welcoming. We chose to order through the self serve kiosk. Very easy, pick what you want and pay. Food didn't take long to come out. My kids loved it. Serving was just right for my cheeseburger eating monster of a son. I ordered a double cheese with bacon. It was delicious. I think the price for the food was fair. This isn't a value menu and if you're into this style burger like goldburger, bnsd or window, you'd know you're getting more for your money here at ftw. Yeah I dropped some proper names - I know a good cheeseburger lol. FTW is a damn good cheeseburger. read more

I ordered a hamburger thinking it would fall short of getting a cheeseburger but was not disappointed! I def had to munch off the crispy patty parts before getting to the good stuff. I loved the soft potato bun and pickles. I asked for their fry sauce on the side since I like tasting my food without the sauce distracting me of the original base flavors. It worked out well because I got to choose the amount of sauce I wanted. A large side of fries for under $5 was quite the deal. FYI, they give free fries in exchange for an honest review! read more

Sad replacement for the previous burger spot that used to be here! Kiosk ordering only and yes it does ask for tip even though you order, pickup your order and dispose of your trash! Ridiculous! We ordered 2 double burgers. 1 order of fries and a Mexican bottle of coke. $38! Wow should have gone to shake shack! We got our burgers.. they were smashed so thin and spread so wide that they looked like hamburger pancakes. Thinner than a slice of bacon! They tasted average and fries were salty and average. So disappointing! I heard good things at first but didn't read the latest reviews.... You need to read the reviews. Save your money smash a McDouble at McDonalds get a large order of fries and a coke for $12 and have less regret than overspending here. They were so empty that it makes me think that the won't last or have repeat customers. read more

For The Win - Double smashburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

I had heard about For The Win for awhile, was excited to hear they opened one here in Alhambra so I brought the family. Ordered five burgers, fries, and brussel sprouts. I tried each of our five burgers, one plain, one cheese burger, one cheese burger with lettuce tomatoes and pickles, one with bacon, and one with everything. Honestly was a little disappointed, the burgers them selves weren't seasoned much, very tasteless. Brussel sprouts were very salty so I was thirsty just to find they only carry Pepsi brand soda, much prefer coke. read more

I love smash burgers. I love how simple yet nostalgic it is & I feel like for the most part, you can't really go wrong with it. I had high hopes for this place since I kept hearing about it but I honestly didn't see anything special with it. The burger was really greasy, the fries were okay. The store itself is so bland and I couldn't even find it at first. Service was weird. A bunch of teenage kids standing around, not wanting to be there. No smiles, no greetings. I felt unwelcomed. Maybe i'll try a different location read more

First time trying this location. I've been to the downtown grand central market location previously and it was delicious. Ordering is really easy on their touch screen. The food only took a few minutes to come out and it was really good. They have a promotion right now for free fries with a review. Still the best smash burger in LA in my opinion. read more

$43 for a triple and a single, bottled coke and a bottle of water. The buns were very tasty. The place is clean, a lot of seating, and it smells so good. The service was very good. Order filled immediately, but I guess cooking paper thin patties takes only a moment. Burgers were so tiny, we stopped by dominos pizza on the way home. So, add that to the $43, annoying. All in all, in my opinion, not enough food for our money. read more

We really love the Glendale location, so we were super excited to have one coming to SGV....but they may need more training. Meat was overcooked and they gave us fries the portion of a kids meal....so glad we checked the food before we left. We took it back and they gave us a new batch. Definitely not as good as the Glendale location. Might have to come back when they've got it down. read more

I came here last week. It was a nice experience. I ordered the triple cheese burger and fries. I've been craving this for around a year. Since I tried it at the Whittier location. This, in my opinion. Was way better. Mostly because the patties weren't smashed as thin as normal. Which was a great bonus for me. The extra thickness added lots of nice meaty juices to the burger. I know that wasn't supposed to happen, but it was 1 of those things that happened by mistake. Which in turn, made something I already liked a lot. Into something I now love. Plus, the fries will always be good with that amazing fry sauce. My partner ordered a cheese burger and said it was good. Then, proceeded to eat all my fries with the sauce. Sucks that you have to pay for the sauce. I feel like 1 should come with a fry order. read more

Charging 12 bucks for a two dollar burger is a joke. All the flavor on the burger came from the over salted burger patty, cheap cheese and high school cafeteria bacon. Oh my mistake also from the twelve pounds of sauce they dumped on the burger. Never ordering this again. Anyone giving this place anything higher than a two star either is a friend of the owner / staff leaving a fake review or clearly likes being ripped off. read more

I don't normally review on yelp but had to with this place. We were in Alhambra near the movie theater and craving a burger. We saw people walking in and a passerby said it was good. Man was he right. You can tell they use grade a meat and ingredients. We ordered brussel sprouts and it did not disappoint. Staff was very attentive and hospitable when we walked in - overall great food and atmosphere. High recommend if you're ever in the area. read more

These burgers are my favorite and are better quality and value than Shake Shack by far. I have been going to the newly opened location in Alhambra, but been to the one in Hollywood as well. In my opinion, I think the Alhambra location gives more meat and the burgers are bigger in general. In addition, the Alhambra location has a lot more space and wiggle room to move around, whereas the one in Hollywood feels a bit cramped and is a lot smaller. The staff in Alhambra are not the friendliest but honestly I just come for the burgers and it doesn't really bother me. The meat patties themselves are juicy, not dry at all, and have a lot of flavor especially with their house made sauce. It's similar to In n Out's spread. The patties are thin and I usually get a double if I'm very hungry. The bun is a potato bun, so it's nice and soft without getting soggy or wet. The burger also comes with pickles, grilled onion, and you can add cheese and other toppings for an extra charge. The star of the show is the sweet potato fries. These are the best fries I've had. They taste like they are double fried and extremely crunchy. The sweetness balances out with the saltiness and is the best side to accompany the burgers. I favor burgers that are thinner rather than thicker, so if you prefer this type of burger I definitely recommend! Although, these burgers are veryyy expensive. I believe they are the same price as Shake Shack or more. My total usually comes out to be $36 dollars for 2 burgers and fries. If you are trying to get a cheaper meal, this is not the place, but you can definitely taste the quality of the burger. read more

Place seems well kept and clean. Minus the sauce packets had sauce all over them (gross). Staff was neither friendly nor mean ‍. Burgers tasted like a McDonald's cheeseburger. Fries were pretty good.... Like McDonald's fries . Burgers were pretty small. For the price we paid for 2 burgers and fries we would've ate at a restaurant. Or could get 2 double doubles for the price of one cheese burger. Would I crave this place? No, never. Would I come back? If everyone else wanted to go lol read more

The hamburger was pretty pricey for something so underwhelming. It's a double patty but it's so smashed that it's just char? lol, definitely last time I'm ordering from here. read more

This burger chain blew up on social media this year. I attempted to go to the Whittier location a few months ago, but the lines were insane, so I waited for the hype to die down before trying again. Safe to say that it was not worth it. As many have mentioned, the price is absolutely insane for how little food you get. Literally any other burger chain like In n Out, Shake Shack, the Habit, etc is more worth your money. Taste-wise, it was nothing special. If you're in the area and want a quick meal, I would stop by, but I wouldn't go out of your way to try it, and I probably won't be returning as there are better options. read more

Came here for their highly rated smashburger ("Voted Best in LA") and fries but also decided to give their chicken sandwich a shot. I think the place is still getting its bearings but the workers were all perfectly friendly, and the establishment was clean and enjoyable. Location: - Sandwiched between Applebee's and Temptations confections. All in the same plaza as the movie theatre. ** 7/16/24 -- They don't have a sign yet so it's difficult to find if you don't already know it's there. There also isn't anything on the windows yet so it seems a little sus, but trust meee -- she's there! Parking: - Easiest bet would be to park in the structure next to the movie theatre. There's aaaaalways spots. However, if you're unlucky that day, you could always park in any of the surrounding plazas and cross the street Ordering: - You'll see the counter as soon as you walk thru the door. There's someone at the register taking orders in-person, but customers paying with card could also opt to use the self-service stations. We opted for the self-service screen. Incredibly straightforward -- choose your smashburger, number of patties, toppings... then add to order! There's also separate sections for sides, drinks, and the chicken sandwich. It was relatively empty when we went, so I'm not really sure how the lines would work, especially when it's busy. You can see from the counter that the burgers are being made (smashed) fresh to order, so the wait time for your food could also be pretty significant. ** KEEP IN MIND IT'LL COST EXTRA TO ADD ANYTHING TO YOUR BURGERS (i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, extra patties, etc.) ANY SAUCES ARE ALSO EXTRA and you'll definitely want to get their fry sauce (ketchup and mustard packets can be found on the counter, next to the utensils, for free) Food: DOUBLE SMASHBURGER (w/ lettuce) - The patties are just as advertised -- *~SMASHED~* in such a delicate way that your burger is still left with mouthwatering juiciness in the center, but a crispy and fragile lace skirt on the perimeter. The slice of cheese and grilled onions accompany the star(s) of the show to tie the flavor together on a soft, cloudy bun. Admittedly, I'm more of a regular patty girl than a smashed patty girl, but the flavor is there. The crispiness of the edges also adds an extra layer of oomph to the burger that you don't get with a regular burger, but at the sacrifice of a full bite of meat. If you love smashburgers, you'd probably thoroughly enjoy this one. FRENCH FRIES -- kind of surprised at how good the fries are, even without the sauce. The texture is perfect without feeling too oily, and with a light sprinkle of salt of top. I'd still recommend getting a side of the fry sauce (extra charge) to enjoy the fries even further. *** Sprinkle a packet of black pepper in (found next to the utensils) if you wanna take it evennnn furtherrrrr. If you know, you know. CHICKEN SANDWICH -- was kind of underwhelmed with this one. The chicken tenders (?/ fillets?) felt a little small with more batter than chicken in it. The buns here themselves are pretty small so I do understand it's difficult to fit anything much larger on them, but for the price, it's difficult not to feel some type of way. I would've tried it once no matter what for science, but I can't say I'd order it again. Pricing: $35 for the 3 orders. Whew. read more

Brussels sprouts were super lemony so if you like that then you'll like these! The smash burgers were very normal not anything amazing. I did rate lower because they don't have free water cups, they make you buy bottled water. Other than that just a basic burger joint nothing amazing and overpriced. read more

Putting a 4% "kitchen service charge" on the bill is a shady practice, so is forcing customers to pay $1.75 for a 15 cent water bottle instead of offering cups of water. On top of that the bathroom floor was extremely sticky and had a germ-spreading air dryer instead of paper towels. Hopefully I don't get food poisoning since they don't understand basic sanitation. Burger was decent. read more
