Legit on my top 3 Smash Burgers spot. Burger was tasty, ingredients fresh, and added jalapeños on mine for a kick. Their fry sauce is pretty good. Also got an order of the loaded fries, all sauced up and cheesy was also delicious. Drove out to their Whittier location, was the closest to me. Service was good, no complaints, has shared parking with other businesses. read more

Ordered take out 9/18/26 at 5:52pm. 1 cheeseburger with no pickles. 2 cheeseburgers with tomato and lettuce and 2 fries. Waited close to 30 minutes for my order. Other customer received his order and not once but twice his order was wrong. Little did I know, my order would be wrong as well. Didn't know till I got home. Fries were already cold when I was snacking on them on the drive. Foreshadowing that it would be bad. 1 burger out of 3 were correct. One cheeseburger had bacon, did not do the bacon add on. One cheeseburger was a double patty instead of a single with jalapeños. All the food were cold. Cheese already hardened. Smash patties were just burned, cold. Not even worth it to go back to ask to remake. Two employees working. They were nice, but attention to detail was lacking. Never coming back here again, not even with any burger promotions. read more

In town visiting a friend and drove by this spot. Been to the OG spot in LA and the one in Glendale, so came here really to see if the consistency was going to be the same. Wasn't disappointed. Excellent burger as expected. With that, however, comes a few caveats: - Fries are just your really basic shoestring. - No soda fountains. Just cans. - Seating is sparse (it's like that at all their locations). I did like the self-serve kiosks though. Nice touch. Anyway, another good time was had by all. read more

My personal take, if your craving a smashed burger this is a place to come and try, the fries and the sweet potato fries were really good. Ranch and fry sauce was also good, I have no issues with ordering and the service was great too! Definitely recommend to try it out read more

Ordered around 7pm on national cheeseburger day. Me and a few others waited and waited and waited . I waited over 20 minutes for 3 burgers. Everyone was upset. Burgers were okay but the wait was unacceptable. read more

The food was good & the service was fast. I think I just went in with high expectations. It was very hyped up as being one of the best burgers. I wouldn't go that far. It was a fine burger. The fries & the toppings on the fries weren't very hot. The chocolate shake was classic. I probably won't be back but it was good for what it was. read more

I had been to the For the Win location in Montebello but I guess they moved here. The burger was just as I remembered, very delicious but brussels sprouts were so good. I really enjoy that since it is something you won't find at most burger joints. Service was good but the place is very very unappealing. But the food is great so I hope they do well. They do not offer fountain drinks but do have plenty of canned sodas. They did have a bathroom. read more

My 1st time trying their smash burger and omg it's was excellent. The burger was cooked perfectly and had an awesome skirt to it. It went really well with the potato buns. I also got sweet potato fries and that was great. I had ordered online and when I got there I had to wait about 5 mins for it to be finished. It was really convenient to do this. read more

We ended up over at For the Win, but unfortunately it was a major loss. What could go wrong with smash burgers? I love cheeseburgers. We arrived on a Sunday evening a little after 6pm, and were immediately told that they were out of onions. Despite not being a fan of onions, I found that sad since the burgers only came with onions and pickles. So we ordered a single patty hamburger and a single patty cheeseburger, the hamburger without pickles. We also ordered a side of fries and a side of loaded fries although there won't be grilled onions. For drinks you can get a canned soda for $2.75, we caved and got two. I would have opted for a milkshake but we had plans to get dessert later. Who knows how that would have gone if I had, considering our experience. It wasn't until after I paid that I was informed that there would be a 20 minute wait as they were busy. For a menu with just a few items? These burgers or a grilled cheese, and four side options? I also looked at my receipt and saw a 4% Kitchen Service Fee. Like... really? This is happening more and more? Where are all my fees and tips for working? And after our experience I have no idea where this fee is going to! I had already added a 15% tip too, which proves my point completely on why I rarely do that. I tip at front to have food brought to me and the experience can be really bad, like it was, but they already got a tip so who cares? Steven noticed one of the cooks didn't flip the burger right and it smacked against the metal side of the grill. He simply removed it and continued cooking it. We took a table outside. There were three. The inside was full. We noticed the various cobwebs along the windows. After about ten minutes I noticed we never even got our sodas, so I went inside to retrieve them. I was going to wash my hands in the restroom but whoever was in there was apparently stuck. Maybe the food went through them because they had no desire to come out. I eventually got to wash my hands. I went back outside and when it had now been 25 minutes. As if 20 wasn't bad enough. I had observed multiple people leaving with food that ordered after us and was starting to get extremely irritable. I waited around 7 more minutes to finally get the cashier who was now helping in the kitchen to check my order. I heard him saying my name and the cooks answered with who knows what and he came back to tell me it was coming soon. In the meantime I watched people after me get their food, eat, and even left before we even received our food. I watched two more people who ordered after me get their food. Must be nice. I was told again that it was coming up. While I waited I observed the path to the kitchen and that was horrifying as the floor was nasty, there was clutter and wires all over the place behind the register and leading up to the cooks. So I am assuming we were just skipped or lost or someone received our food before. They don't come out to give you your food so I had to stand and wait forever. After 40 minutes (literally) I was given my food. No apology, no explanation. My burger was also missing the pickle so it was sauce and meat and sauce/cheese meat for us. The loaded fries had burnt congealed cheese with sauce on top. The food wasn't even good after all of this mess. I was completely over it. They seem to have good reviews so something goes right at times. I will not be back. read more

Glad to see a well-designed foodie spot finally open in this part of town. The space is clean, modern, service is chill. Tried their double hamburger and a double cheeseburger , the crispy, thin patty is interesting and has a nice texture. Personally, I think it would be better with a little less salt, but still worth a try. At $11, it feels a bit pricey for the portion size, but you're partly paying for the vibe and concept. read more

I've been to this place twice since it opened. It is still Massively over priced. Got a triple and double smash with bacon one had jalapeños and both had lettuce and tomato. Also got two milkshakes. $55 dollars for two burgers and milkshakes. Didn't even get fries. The burgers were good but not worth $55 dollars! I understand that quality cost but it is not worth it for me. Had to remind them I ordered two shakes after I finished eating but Employees were nice. read more

2 stars only for the good burger. Some of these reviews talk about cool vibe or cleanliness? This place has been filthy for years. Always rude staff and the cooks look at you like you've pissed them off. $4 kitchen fee is total BS and the xtra charges for fry sauce is criminal unless you ask for excessive amounts. Extra charge for lettuce? What? They are always out of something, onions etc. $2.75 for a can of soda? F U! As I write this, back to one star, go somewhere else and spend your hard earned money. read more

For The Win was a complete and utter disaster and a definitely loss. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. My wife and I came here last evening for dinner and the place was relatively busy based off the size of the establishment (about 5-5 groups of people). The staff apparently cant handle this with a menu of three main items and 4 sides. We had ordered a single smash burger with no pickle and a single smash cheeseburger. The order taker told us they did not have onions (which is one of only three ingredients on the burger besides the meat) which was a complete disappointment. We also ordered a side of fries and a side of loaded fries (again no onions available so this would be just fries, melted cheese and sauce) and two cans of soda (2.75 each which is insane). Upon ordering they told us they were busy and it would be about 20 minutes for the two small burgers and fries. We managed to find a small table outside and began to wait. We waited, waited and waited some more. No drinks or anything given to us at this point. At the 10 minute mark my wife went inside and retrieved our cans of soda as we continued to wait for the food. The wait continues.... and continue.... and continues... and so on and so forth.... At the 25 minute mark (5 minutes after the time we were told) my wife went inside to inquire which was nearly impossible since no one was near the counter. At this point I am completely losing my mind as other patrons who arrived well after us sat at a table next to me outside, bag of food in hand for 4 people and began to eat. They finished their food and drinks and left as our never ending wait and search for our order continues... At the 40+ minute mark my wife is FINALLY given our food and come out to the table. Low and behold, her cheese burger is wrong and missing the pickle. Only I had ordered no pickle on my hamburger (if that's what you want to call this). The fries and burger had absolutely no flavor, salt or seasoning. The "loaded" fries (sans onions for the aforementioned reason) had a single burnt glob of cheese on top that was completely not edible and thus became a 2nd order of regular fries for $3 more. The sauce that was supposed to be on the loaded fries was nowhere to be found for me. The tables were sticky, there were spider webs all over and the cook was something to behold as you watched him lose control of the flat meat patties as he tried to flip them and have them slam into the back metal siding of the grill and stick to it. Instead of tossing this now probably contaminated piece or meat he simply slid it off the back of the metal and back onto the grill. This place has service issues, cleanliness issues, cant control their inventory of ingredients and the food just plain sucks. I have not been this disappointed in a business in a long time and will 100% never return again and I advise you don't either. I really hope they take these concerns to heart and use it as fodder to better their business but I am sure they wont and admit all is good as they basically did when we waited 40 minutes for the worlds crappiest meal. Stay away at all cost and use your money on somewhere that actually tries to provide a good customer experience and product. read more

Stopped by to check it out since it's been on my list for a bit. With friendly service and a little outdoor patio with string lights, it exceeded our expectations. The burger patty was a little salty for my taste but good nonetheless. The fries were perfect! There is a small parking lot and a few tables inside but it seems like most of their business might be for take out. read more

Great spot for a smash burger! The fries are fried in tallow, which gives them an incredible crunch and flavor. Definitely order a side of fry sauce with them--so good! It's also my go-to place for a shake. The strawberry and chocolate shakes are both delicious and always hit the spot. The service is great, and the cute outdoor tables make it a nice place to sit and enjoy your food. Parking can be a little tight, but the food is absolutely worth it. read more

Was satisfied with my meal as a first termer. Ordered the Double Cheese Burger and Loaded Fries. Literally a solid burger. Actually got 2 for the price of one. Unbeatable considering the quality and taste being what can be considered top tier as far as burgers and fries go. Running a lot of burgers over (on burger highway) with this. Thank you for a delicious experience. Was no disappointments had here. Will surely be back. Gratitude and give thanks for a great meal experience that was For The Win indeed. read more

The service was friendly. We talked to John behind the counter and he was a great representative for this establishment. Service alone I would give it 5 stars. Food was great. Was the price for a double smashed patty, no lettuce, no tomatoes, side of secrete sauce that only half filled the condiments container, no drink, added cost for fries worth the price? NO. For the amount of hype this place has received, it was disappointing to see all the upcharges they threw on the customer for what normally should be included in the burger. 3 stars for the service and for having served great hamburger patties. I just can't seem to get over nearly paying $20 for a double patty cheeseburger that didn't include lettuce or tomatoes as a standard addition to their burgers. I wish I thought to have taken a picture of every uncharge shown on the self-service kiosk. read more

Loveee smash burgers and for the win comes to mind whenever we're in the mood for them!!! I would recommend a double for a regular person, triple for the husbands.

Small corner shop located in a tiny shopping center. Not much parking but people come and go pretty quickly. read more

I finally got the chance to try this smash burger spot, especially after seeing some mixed reviews online. I got lucky, I didn't experience any wait times. When I walked in, I was the only customer. The service was very friendly, and the cashier even recommended a few items on the menu. I ordered the double smash burger with added bacon and the loaded fries (also with bacon). The burger itself was really good. The patties were cooked well with a nice crispy edge. The caramelized onions added a nice sweet touch and the bun was soft and held up well. The star of the burger, though, was definitely their special sauce. It tied everything together perfectly with a zesty flavor. I would compare the impact to the burger as the Cane's sauce to its tenders, but in my opinion for the win's special sauce is slightly better. The loaded fries were a bit underwhelming since the fries themselves were nothing special. Thankfully, the sauce carried them and kept them from being a total miss. My only real complaint was the pricing. It felt a little on the higher side for what you get. read more

Casual burger joint. We were welcomed immediately and sat at one of the only two tables inside the place (total seating for eight). They do have a patio on the side of the building with much more seating. We placed our order at the counter. Unfortunately, they were out of chicken, pickles, and Brussels sprouts. They have milk shakes (strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla); however, they were also out of chocolate and vanilla. During our entire visit, the guys were in the grill area chatting/cussing (lots of "F" bombs) which was open and within earshot of the customers. Not very professional. I also noticed a lot of supplies stored in the back corner of the dining area. Not very nice to look at. Maybe a simple screen could hide this stuff. We ordered three Cheeseburgers, adding bacon, and they were extremely salty. The French fries were okay, and my wife enjoyed her strawberry shake, but said it wasn't anything special. The tables had hidden drawers containing packets of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. At least the '80s music was good. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going back. read more

For a double patty smashburger, it was surprisingly thick and packed with flavor, topped with delicious grilled onions, jalapeños, and their house sauce. The Martin's buns were really good, especially toasted with butter. The onion rings had a great crunch and were well seasoned. The original fries were good and above average, especially for regular fries. read more

Came here on a suggestion from a friend. Place is small, pretty clean and simple menu. Burgers, fries and drinks.. Seating on the inside, and some patio seating as well. Girl working the counter was really nice, and brought out our food when it was ready. Ordered a single patty smash burger, some sweet potato fries, and a coke. So 18 dollars later, burger came out. Smashed patty, sauce, cheese and two pickles. Not too sure what i was expecting, but visually i was let down. Taste wise, it was really good. Not sure what sauce they use, but it was tasty. Meat wasnt too flat, which was good as well. Sweet potato fries were really good. Loved those. All in all good. Worth coming back too? Not sure. read more

Parking: can be a bit packed given there are other businesses in the same center. However, I did get lucky when I arrived there were a couple spots free. Inside restaurant: clean. Indoor and outdoor seating. Continents, water, and utensils are self served near their ordering area. Customer service: I was greeting in my way and the person that took my order was sweet! Food: now for the reason I came in! I had a single cheeseburger and added lettuce with loaded fries and my brother had the double cheeseburger with brussel sprouts in the side. I don't believe they have any combo deals as everything was sold separately. I can see how that might keep someone from coming in for a meal. The burgers were just okay. I definitely have had better smash burgers but the sides were the real stars of the show. Loaded fries are a must try. The brussel sprouts were also delicious covered in a sort of balsamic tangy sauce. It would have been nice if they had sauces on the side like garlic aïoli, or a Sriracha mayo to put on top of brussels sprouts. Overall, I definitely come back for the sides alone and to itch my burger craving. read more

I stumbled upon this place through IG and wanted to give it a try. So, today after church I decided to invite some friends and check it out. Here is my honest opinion. Pros: Military discount Great hospitality Quick service Cons: Parking (not that many spaces for large groups) Price (paid almost $100 for 6 people) I ordered the double cheeseburger the way it is which includes grilled onions, pickles, and fry sauce. At first, I thought this was like an In-N-Out burger on steroids and although I enjoyed the taste of the burger and sauce, nothing could justify the price I paid. I know it's called a smash burger but maybe the beef patty was too smashed for me to make the burger look bigger. I like to support small businesses but $12.50 just for a double cheeseburger is too expensive in this economy especially when you can get a double double combo at In-N-Out for $11. It was nice to try but I probably won't be back. In order for this business to thrive I strongly recommend offering combos with fries and a fountain drink rather than canned sodas. read more

First time having a smash burger and this was so good. I always see this place on my Instagram reels as one of the best smash burger places in LA. I went with a friend to try this spot out on a Wednesday night an hour before closing and there was no line & wait. I ordered a single patty smash burger, a double patty smash burger, an order of fries and Brussel sprouts. I had the single patty smash burger and it was season nicely. I like how thin the patty was because compare to your average size burger, sometimes I can get sick of eating a whole burger. This was a good size but I wished I ordered a double because I can totally finished a double patty smash burger. The fries were crispy and fresh. The brussels sprouts were BOMB, so crispy with the balsamic glaze. The restaurant is pretty small, there was about 4 tables? but there are some tables outside if inside is full. Parking is very limited since it's in a small plaza. I would definitely be back next time to try their loaded fries. read more

Fantastic little spot with bomb smash burgers. Holy cow!!! Guy behind the register didn't have the best customer service skills... insisting we only order burgers and not a patty melt or other items. BUT he wasn't wrong. Those burgers were divine!!! Everything is cooked fresh to order and was ready within 10-15 min post order. The burger sauce they use is great, similar to chick fil a sauce in flavor, but a little more Dijon flavor and I think cayenne pepper. I could put that sauce on everything!!! Great spot!! I've now recommended it to several friends to try. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! read more

Went right before closing on a Saturday night around 6:30pm (yes they really do close @7pm sadly) and it was packed. And also for reference their parking lot is on the smaller side(maybe less than 10 spots?) Quick to order, gives hole in the wall type of vibes, quick water/condiment station. Took about 10 min to get our food and was great! I like it better than Burgers Never Say Die bc of the sauce (which tastes more garlicky than thousand island). Bun was well made and the meat was a great texture. My friend group loved the loaded fries too Would definitely love to come back! read more
