The WCW burger
Heather A.

The food was incredible and Jeff is such a rad dude! Made to order and he made sure we were nice and comfortable by bringing a bigger table for our group. Will come back!

One dog with everything and one with burger sauce

YUM. I walk by here every other day and it always smells delicious. Jeff, the chef, is always such a good energy to be around and the food is amazing. I've had the burgers and hot dogs a few times and had to leave a review. Jeff is a master chef and gives the neighborhood a place to gather and enjoy a few moments of banter while waiting for handmade gourmet burgers and 'dogs. Thanks Jeff!

Stumbled across this burger pop-up on the street and wow -- hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had! Everything from the flavor to the freshness was on point. You can really tell the cook/owner puts care into what he's serving. The owner was awesome -- super friendly, accommodating, and made the whole experience even better offering up seating in the shade. It's the kind of spot that makes you feel like you just discovered a hidden gem. I'll definitely be coming back (probably sooner than I should). Highly recommend checking this place out if you're near the area!

Hot dog cart

If you're looking for the best burger in LA, maybe even the whole state this is the place to go to. Juicy. All the condiments worked perfectly. I recommend the big wag. Almost a half pound pound of meat. And there's always some sort of special new dish on Fridays. Cool little burger joint with great energy, awesome customer service and it's right by the beach.

Been here a few times now. For street food? What the hell. WOW. Let's get into it. Ok do you like dogs and burgers? Look no further. The chef has such a great attitude. Lively, happy outgoing and professional. Then when you see that? His food comes from the soul. I've had a few things here. But what makes this food cart special is the menu changes. Other than the dogs and burgers. But he's always got specials, such as. Pork belly Mac n cheese like what!? Sign me up. Pastas and more! The hot dogs. Fresh, cooked to the perfect temperature. Get all your fixings. Peppers, onions, mustard, relish, ketchup, hot Cheeto dust, cheese? Oh yeah! You can load it up if you want to and it's quite the experience. Burgers. Ok I'm not kidding when I say this. I don't really like smash burgers. It makes them loose the flavor usually. HOWEVER this time!? That is NOT the case. I'm not sure how he does it but I'll always come back for this burger. The BREAD omg the bread as well! SO good. Seasoned VERY well. Veggies, lettuce and pickles all fresh. So would I recommend this spot? Hell yeah. You will NOT be disappointed. This is a hidden gem of LA. He's fairly new to the social media game so support this great food! Hope you all enjoy.

Hot dog (ketchup, mustard, relish, grilled onions) and The Wag Melt with burger sauce on the side
Brittany L.

I walk by here everyday and it always smells so good, I finally stopped to try! I got a hotdog (with ketchup, mustard, relish and grilled onions) and The Wag Melt. Both things were delicious and didn't last long after we got home. The food was A+ but equally enjoyed the conversation with our cool neighbor Jeff. It pleases us to see him out there everyday, charming his customers and enjoying the day. It gives the neighborhood a good vibe. I also notice the menu constantly changes, almost by the day. Bravo!

Double cheeseburger
Jimena H.

Best burgers ever, seriously!! Get the Fried Spud Balls Also the people cooking were really nice, as well, trying to make us feel comfortable.

My wife was craving a great burger on our anniversary so we drove all the way from Camarillo to see Jeff because he hands down had the best burger I ever had and man did he not disappoint. We loved the food and customer service was top notch. There is a reason he only has nothing but 5 star reviews. Thank you so much Chef!

Jeff and his perfect burger I'm about to destroy.
Mary B.

It's perfect. So much flavor. It melts in your mouth. New favorite burger in LA. Thanks, Jeff!!!

The service felt rushed. I get that there was a line behind me but a little patience for someone with a disability would've been nice.

It's been a while!…read more There used to be a Humble Potato within walking distance from me. Glad to see this one is still going strong. HP hasn't forgotten how to provide outstanding food and service. It is still top notch here! We really enjoyed the outdoor patio space too! It was clean and a very refreshing space to dine in. I would absolutely come back and pair my burger with a side of tots on the next visit. Next time you have a burger craving...ditch that drive thru BS and get at the Humble Potato. You'll become a fan!

We have been 3 times now and we give up. The service is always slow and they ignore you when you…read morewalk in. They do not listen when we tell them you want a burger medium rare. They never are. The place would be cute if it was clean. It in never clean, from the floor to the uncomfortable seating. I think a lot of people get it to go. Check your bag. The first time the fries with cheese were great. We loved them. Their burgers were not great, but fine. We gave them a second chance and this time we were with a group. We all order medium rare burgers. We all got well done, I mean burnt. But the fries were still great. The last time (and we won't be back), all the wheels came off the wagon. There was one person there to help us, now maybe there was a cook, I really don't recall. The place was still not clean. The service was still so slow (get off your phone, dude). The fries were a tad cold this time and not great. The burgers were burnt again and this time I sent them all back and I don't think they liked that, because they served them so close to raw. We toosed them in the trash and went elsewhere.
