I ate the Goldburger combo with Dr. Pepper, curly fries, and spicy ranch. It was delicious! THE STRAWBERRY SHAKE WAS THE BEST FAST FOOD SHAKE EVER The burger was cooked perfectly and kept simple and classic with grilled onions, cheese, house sauce, and pickles. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They gave helpful recommendations given my first time there. We dined in and it was such a cute diner vibe. Clean and plenty of room. read more

All the ingredients are quality ingredients from the meat being grass fed to local soda and ice cream businesses... everything tastes so good and the retro vibe of the restaurant is so cool. I definitely miss Frosty Queen but everyone here is so sweet and the quality of the food is excellent. I lovw that I do not have to go far for something delicious and clean I never feel slow or sick after eating here! Clean tasty food! read more

It pains me to write this review, because the location is charming, the indoor/outdoor old school burger joint charm is there... the staff is very friendly and the service is excellent. The fries (we tried both the regular and curly fries) were perfection, their aioli was superb, and their niche soft drinks were very good... everything that supports a great burger joint is here! However the burgers were lacking... and I can't tell you what a disappointment that was. The key to a great smashburger is the patty, and this is where it fell down. Overcooked, under seasoned, and just a disappointment all around... the balance was off. In my experience a great smashburger has a juicy, well seasoned, patty with a sauce where the fat needs the pickles and onions to cut through it... it all comes together in a wonderful combination on your palate. Unfortunately our experience here was that the burger was lackluster and bland... using the aioli on the burger in place of the traditional burger sauce should have been an exciting up level of your standard smashburger, however in this case it just didn't work. Also the bun was a tad stale. All of this was hugely disappointing because everything else here works so well. We may come back for another go to see if we caught them on an off day, because the other reviews made it sound like the burgers are great... however as a smashburger connoisseur, this place just didn't quite make it. read more

Goldburger - Burger with pastrami - so tasty - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Goldburger has been around for quite a while and I first tried it when it first started I believe back in 2020 in highland park. It's always been so delicious as I'm a big fan of smash burgers! My favorite has always been the LA special with some curly fries. And now that they're open here in the valley I'm so happy they've kept it after all these years. This location is perfect, busy street but ample parking and it also seems that they've kept the drive thru from previous business. The few times I've checked this location out, staff is always friendly and attentive. The vibes inside are pretty great too + there is seating inside and outside as well. I've you happen to drive by don't hesitate to check them out read more

Had this a few times now and it does not disappoint. The smash burgers are good and even the bread on the patty melt is good. I like that they try to use local CA sources for dairy , sodas, bread ... as opposed to big commercial companies. They have onion rings and hot dogs available too. Service is great and the food is good! Strawberry shake is a shining star. read more

Finally tried Goldburger! The drive through was busy, the inside was full. The staff were really nice and patient. We had to wait for a table and as soon as the previous people left, the team started cleaning tables and made way for new customers. It was nice that they were so mindful of the dining room. We ordered the goldburger, the Reuben and curly fries. Food took about 10 minutes to come out which was a-ok because it was made fresh. All the ingredients seemed quality. The pastrami was smoky not salty. The curly fries were delish. The goldburger was solid! I might crave this again. read more

I heard about this place through IG, so I decided to come by and check it out. I tried the Goldburger, which is their bestselling burger. It was tasty, with 2 very juicy large patties, cheese, pickles, special sauce and a lot of grilled onions, with some smashed into the patties and some just being outside. Overall, a good, big burger. The customer service was excellent and the ambience and design remind you of a good old-school 70's diner, with light blue color being the dominating color in the design. You could also sit either at the counter or at one of their 6-7 tables. They also have a medium sized patio for dining outside. Would try this spot again! read more

Yum!!!! SO happy we have a Goldburger close by! Love that they have a drive-through. Made it super easy for us since I did not want to get out of the car and I was in my pj's lol It was Sunday around 1:45 PM. We ordered the following... 1 Goldburger 1 Ca Classic (combo w fries, drink, & sauce) 1 curly fries 1 regular fries Missing a sauce....We were also supposed to get a sauce with our combo (requested spicy ranch), but we didn't. That's OK I will bring it up next time we go and I'm sure they will give it to me then. Sauces are .90 cents each We also got extra sauces in the side...Russian and spicy ranch. My Goldburger comes with garlic mustard aioli on it, but I got it on the side... I'm not much of a mustard person but hubby is a mustard lover and he loved it!!! All sauces are good! The smell from the bag in our car was delicious! Of course we had to dip into the fries right away and they were piping hot, which I love and appreciate! All of our food was fresh, hot, and delicious! The burgers were flavorful, juicy, and hot. Crispy edges and nice char on the onions for my burger (Goldburger). Fries were a great potion! Big! Yummmmyyyy!!!! $41 n change. Quality meat and ingredients. Not cheap but we're ok with that. Very tasty! Customer service was nice. Asked if I wanted chilis and ketchup and I said yes to both. We will be back! We loved our lunch! read more

Ahh the successor to the good ol' Frosty Queen. While it doesn't replace the nostalgia of the Queen, it more makes it up with pretty darn good smash burger. The Goldburger gets it right with the most important component of a burger which is the patty. It had the right amount of saltiness, savoriness, and crispiness that makes for a tasty smash burger. Sure, it's a bit pricey and the presentation is lacking, but in the end, it tasted darn good. Same goes with the fries. That is a must have if you're ordering from Goldburger! read more

Goldburger - Golden Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I ordered at the drive thru but this place has plenty of outdoor seating! It's a small place inside but the food has big flavors. The food is made to order and I think food made fresh and hot on arrival tastes the best. They have burgers, sandwiches, fries, and shakes/drinks. Their in house made sauces are great! There is a small parking lot near drive thru! Food was wonderful I took off one star because they gave me the wrong order I was given food I didn't order but by the time I realized I didn't want to turn back! After eating the food I was giving its safe to say that anything you get here will taste good! Even though I had the wrong items they were so good that I was not upset and I forgot about my disappointment quickly! It was not crowded just one other car behind me so not sure reason for mix up it's important to always check you food before leaving! 9/10 recommend! read more

We tried this spot last night and we ordered the California smash burger with curly fries and vanilla shake + a patty melt with sparkling lemonade. Everything was good and we ate the whole thing! Service was excellent and they even gave us samples of all their dipping sauces so we can try them all since it was our first time. My fav was the spicy ranch, and his fav was the garlic aioli. This place is also pretty cute and the perfect spot for a casual night out. Happy eating! read more

We must've missed the opening, despite driving past on the regular, eagerly awaiting the unveiling. Today, as we were driving past, yet again, I saw people inside and hit the breaks! Around the corner we went, down the back alley, to fully take in the re-imagine old Dairy/ Frosty Queen. Yes, yes, many of you are sad the Queen is gone - long live "The Queen"! - but we should be VERY happy that a local SFV boy, Allen Yellent, who attended Porter Middle School in GH, took on this project and was excited to breathe new life - NOT TO MENTION A TON O' MONEY! - into this iconic spot. How many times have buildings been shuttered in the last 5 years and sat empty and sad and all we can do is sigh, shrug and accept the fate??? So, THANK YOU, Allen! (Now setting soap box aside, I continue with my review....) IT LOOKS STUNNING!!!! To actually be able to sit inside and relax in a/c or, for those who prefer SFV hot al fresco days, sitting in the shade with your choice of NINE TABLES??? Where did all this space come from??? Plenty of seating - CHECK! Menu: Streamlined, simple. Honestly, the previous Frosty Queen menu was a bit much. Greek, Mexican, breakfast, burgers, soft serve treats.... What we have now are simple smash burgers (or Veggieburger), hot dog - as long as the Dodgers continue to win, maybe???, grilled cheese, pastrami, fries, fountain and yes, soft serve (be it cup, cone, shake or float). Other locations may have pie, but they don't have the soft serve we grew up with in GH! So, since we were just passing by, and a liiiiitle peckish, but not fully hungry, we tried the grilled cheese and Hubs got a chocolate shake - natch. The sandwich, Swiss and American on Bub and Grandma's Bread, with some pickles on the side for good measure, was a perfect share snack. warm, gooey, delicious bread and only $7! While the shake was not the same size as the aforementioned Queen's, it was chocolatey and satisfying and on par with Hub's other faves, $8. The service was fast and friendly, welcoming and there was a steady stream of locals popping in to grab a bite or a frosty treat on this hot October day. The MCM decor is well done and thoughtful, with nods to chefs who either inspire Allen or are iconic to LA - or both! And a few fun caricatures of chefs, celebs and famous foodies. All that being said, let me gently remind the staff of a golden rule in business: If you got time to lean, you got time to clean. This is serious when it comes to food service. The tables could've used more attention and cleanliness is next to...well, you know - or, should! Was it horribly messy? No, but this is a beautiful, brand new dining area so it doesn't take much to look unkempt. A few times of not caring or vigilance lacking and people will translate that to food prep and pride of product. I'd love to see this Goldburgers location - the most beautiful of them all IMO - stay looking beautiful and a joy to visit. Who says you can't go home? Welcome back, Allen, I look forward to returning to enjoy some burgers, fries, shakes and a winning Dodger inspired hot dog soon. Cheers! "CC" read more

I initially thought I wouldn't like the place, but I ended up really enjoying the food here. Parking: There's plenty of street parking, and they also offer a drive-through. It's similar to In-N-Out but with much better quality and no lines. Food: Goldburger truly sets the gold standard for smashed burgers. I was amazed by how flavorful it was. I ordered the California Classic without cheese, and the burger was cooked to perfection in my opinion. The patties were thin with extra crispy edges. Even the fries were delicious--I'd say the curly fries are better than the regular ones here. Service: The staff was super friendly and accommodating, even offering to switch out items if we didn't like something we ordered. I really appreciated that. Ambiance: The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Overall: I'm happy to see another great eatery in Granada Hills. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend fellow Yelpers and friends stop by and support this local gem. read more

First of all, I didn't know until today that there are other Goldburger locations - at least one other. This location was a much loved Frosty Queen but that's now ancient history. Goldburger specializes in smash burgers which are different than the pre formed patties that more traditional burger joints have. I ordered the basic Goldburger which comes with cheese, grilled onions and a great burger sauce. Fries were excellent as well. The price is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I'd say their prices are about a couple of bucks more than Habit and roughly the same as Shake Shack or The Stand. Hamburgers are no longer cheap, so I eat them less frequently than I used to, but you can take my hamburger when you pry it from my cold dead fingers Definitely recommended and I would come back in a heartbeat read more

Was looking for a good smash burger and well found this new spot in Granada hills. I will say the meat was nice and crunchy on the outside and inside was just the right texture. Flavor wise I give it a 7/10 and well the portion size is a bit more than usual smash burgers and always a plus. Fries are nice amount as well, a bit salty tho. It helped to use some of the thousand island and ketchup lol The ice cream is actually good! 10/10! I would probably go back. Service quick and love the ambiance as well with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

We got the Americana Burger, Patty Melt, and curly fries. Unfortunately, none of them were things i would come back for. Both the Americana Burger and Patty Melt are a 7/10. They have a good crust on the patties and a nice toast on the bread, but there isn't enough umami flavor to make me crave them. The curly fries tasted like Jack in The Box curly fries, which is both a good and a bad thing, 6/10. The only standout here is the customer service. All employees are kind and helpful. This is quite uncommon and very much welcomed but, the food, the main reason I'm there, was NOT able to keep up. I'll be back to try something else since I would love to have a great local smash burger spot. To be continued! read more

This new spot took over the old place that sold burgers and burritos. I like how the menu is short and simple, similar to in n out Environment: limited parking in the back, about 6 spots but plenty of street parking. They kept the seating out front with about 10 tables and they also opened seating inside. Has a couple of seats at the bar like a diner and a few tables inside. There's a restroom inside. The service was good, the people were kind and kept clean. There's only one register so the line gets long quickly, you order and they give you the thing that buzzes when the food is done. Our food only took 7 minutes to come out. California burger: 3/5 it was good but nothing special and a bit dry. Kids gold burger: 5/5 the most popular gold burger had really good onions in it. Spicy ranch: it was okay, a little spicy nothing special Russian sauce: 0/5 it was not our favorite, it was like horseradish with thousand island sauce, very vinegary. Not very good. Regular fries: 3/5 could use better seasonings Pomegranate soda: 4/5 taste like a Shirley temple It's pretty pricy but it is Granada so nothing is cheap anymore. Will be going back to try out their non burger items like the pastrami sandwiches. read more

We love Gold Burger. I got the kids cheeseburger and it was the perfect size for me. I'm very picky with burgers and usually only eat In-N-Out or smash-style burgers because I don't like a thick, beefy taste. This one was delicious--thin, flavorful, and exactly how I like my burgers (I asked for it well done). My husband always gets the regular Gold Burger and has loved it every time. He's also had the Reuben sandwich before and really enjoyed it. The curly fries are really good too. They have a drive-thru, which is super convenient, and the food is fast and fresh. So happy we have a great local smash-style burger spot! read more

Loooove their pastrami burgers! This location in particular is perfect because you can dine in or order through the drive thru. Delicious fresh ingredients and smash style burgers. They also have lots of different unique sauces 10/10 recommend read more

Goldburger has become our neighborhood go-to. My 9-year-old always asks to come here after his baseball & soccer games. My wife and I love their burgers, my kid loves their soft serve ice cream. You can tell they put a lot of love into the food & the service. Classic valley vibes. Always fun music playing inside & out. They're doing it right. read more

Been waiting to try this, and finally went last night. Love that they kept the building as similar as possible including the drive through as an ode to FQ. I feel like I've done all the big and popular smash burgers in LA at this point, and this was probably my second favorite. I got the original, which was great. What I specifically like is every place that's doing a smash burger is essentially doing their rendering of their own in and out spread, so all of them have a similar taste profile. This one however had a totally different sauce (mustard aioli I believe) so it actually made it different and stand out. This was also the crispiest edge smash I've ever had. It was really really good. The staff was also very very nice / I don't know if I just got a really sweet girl or if this place does usually have a chic fil a service kinda vibe, but she was really sweet. (Yesterday drive through around 7pm) I'm also a HUGE soft serve person, me and my boyfriend get it quite often and never turn one down anywhere. I see it's also made with dairy from straus. However we did NOT get one. The main complaint I've heard people saying about this place is their pricing, and I'd have to agree. Because that's what stopped us from getting cones for like the first time ever lol. We already spent $40 on burgers on a whim, so an additional $12 for TWO soft serve cones just seemed insane tbh, $6 is unfortunately way too high and may be the most expensive I've seen yet, so although it's a hard smash for me normally to get soft serve I did avoid it because that's just insane imo. Also made my own fries at home so didn't get to try theirs, again mainly because of the very high price point, and did not get any extra sauces to try also because of the price (normally when going to a new place I happily pay for all their different sauces to try) but at .90 per sauce, that was pretty much double the normal sauce pricing of everywhere. Really liked it and will still regard it as my second fav smash so far, due to the quality, the uniqueness of the sauce and the service. But wish I was able to / willing to try everything as I normally would at a new place, but the price point issue that most people in the community are mentioning, was definitely true a deterrent to get any more items and to seriously limit my frequency of coming back. I have no issue spending money on food, I'm a foodie, but the value vs price point when it comes to burgers/fries etc, really has to be taken into consideration. read more

Food was amazing loved the chocolate shake and fry's were really good, everyone was super friendly highly recommend this place

Ummmm delicious ! Stopped by today around noon and it was such a cute burger diner vibe! Apparently it was an old Frosty. It's really small inside but also has a drive thru. I got the LA Special and my husband got the Goldburger. We both liked the LA Special so much more! The pastrami and coleslaw is a hit. Goldburger was good too, very juicy with the double smash patty and the mustard sauce (get the sauce on the side for the fries!) the curly fries were really good too and a lot for one side, win win! I do wish they had iced tea for refreshments but otherwise everything on the menu looks good. Even the hot dogs! Service was great too, since it's a small diner place, a gentleman walked around and asked if we need anything. Great smash burger place ! read more

Happy to have Goldburger in the valley. I've been to their Los Feliz one so it was by chance that I found out they opened up here in the 818 approximately 6 months ago. Now is it pricey, yeah you can say so if you compare it to In-N-Out but what Goldburger provides is a different type of burger experience. The burgers are smashed and crisp and distinct. The fries here are cooked very crisp but it's a tad too salty and they should adjust the Lawry salt down. Otherwise the very idea that Goldburger is here in Granada Hills is a very cool addition to the block. Service is friendly and the ambiance is designed like a Wes Anderson set, everything proper and intentional. Glad to have experienced it. read more

Goldburger - California Classic + Curly Fry - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the best hamburgers in Los Angeles has finally made its way to Granada Hills. The founder is from the San Fernando Valley, so it feels right that he brought his burgers back home. Goldburger has been featured on countless "best burger" lists, with some even ranking it the #1 burger in LA. What started as an Instagram account documenting a burger obsession turned into pop-ups, and eventually brick-and-mortar spots in Highland Park, Los Feliz, Chinatown (now shuttered), and now here. Thank you Allen Yelent for bringing your Goldburger concept to your hometown. Yes, the burgers are a little pricier, but you're paying for quality--locally sourced in California, grass-fed beef. I ordered the signature Goldburger: double smashed patties with crispy edges, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and garlic-mustard aioli on a soft bun. Perfect balance of flavors and textures. I had my eye on the soft serve, but sadly it wasn't available tonight. Still, between HiHo Cheeseburger in Studio City and now Goldburger here in Granada Hills, and Bill's Burgers in Van Nuys, we're now spoiled with incredible burger options. This burger is hands-down better than In-N-Out and The Habit. Yes, I said it. read more

Goldburger - Goldburger - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In the heart of Granada Hills is a new burger joint, Goldburger. Came here on a Sunday to try it out with my smash burger connoisseur boyfriend! The location took over a previous fast food place-- the parking is pretty limited, about 8 spots total in the parking lot. The inside of the restaurant is bright and retro. We ordered the Gold Burger. $20 total for the combo that comes with the burger, fries, and a drink. We sat at the counter and the guy handing out orders was super kind! He offered me free water as we waited for our food. The vibes in here were fun and nostalgic with their choice of music. The bun lightly toasted, meat perfectly smashed with crispy edges. My boyfriend is not a huge onion fan but he actually enjoyed the grilled onions! The sauce was a 10/10. It's a spicy ranch that isn't overpowering (like most places that smother the burger in sauce). My boyfriend enjoyed the sauce so much he asked for a second one and the server kindly gave it to him. The fries are so fresh, crispy exterior with a pillowy inside. The order took about 15 minutes but understandable because everything is made fresh to order. Overall Goldburger is a 10/10! Newly opened smashed burger place in Granada Hills, amazing service with great food and great vibes! read more

Just tried the new Gold Burger in Granada Hills. Triple Goldburger is an 8/10 juicy and solid. Oreo Shake is a 10/10 dessert perfection. Fries are 6.5/10 could be crispier. Service was friendly but be prepared to wait a while since they operate on a very small grill. Plenty of seating, bar, inside and outside seating available. Overall definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

I stopped by on a Sunday around 6:30 PM. The inside is small, but there's additional seating outside. I ordered the California Classic combo.

Was excited to try the place that replaced Frosty Queen. Still in soft openings but the line was pretty lengthy, maybe 10 people deep. Got the gold burger with curly fries - burger was delicious! Loved the garlic mustard sauce. The fries however were another story - they were seasoned ok but got all soggy from being in the paper bag that they use. Would have been a 5/5 if the sides were better. That being said, I will definitely be back to try the other burgers. read more

She had a positive attitude and didn't seem bothered that I couldn't decide what to order . I finally ordered the classic and it was so good and the fries enough to feed 2 people. I enjoyed the music as well and the cleanliness of this place. Would I go again.... Yes , Definitely worth going back read more

Great smash burger! Good selection of different options and they will substitute items. Very organized. Good service. The place is very small and cramped. The French fries is good for two. You can taste the quality of the burgers. I would have given them a five star rating if it wasn't for their wafer thin to go bags. Be very careful when picking up your food and hold the bag from the bottom or it will tear apart. read more

Goldburger - Granada Hills (Chatsworth & Shoshone) I was excited when I heard that Goldburger moved into the old Frosty Queen spot in Granada Hills. They already have two other locations (Highland Park and Los Feliz), so I was curious to see how this one stacked up. Atmosphere: They've added an indoor dining area with seating for about four parties, plus some bar seating. The old outdoor seating is still available. The interior is clean, though if there's a loud group inside, the noise carries. Food: I ordered the Goldburger combo for my first visit (about $20+). The burger looked great with a classic smashed burger presentation, but that's where the excitement ended. The beef had chewy bits that ruined the bite. The grilled onions were stringy and hard to break apart. The bottom bun was dry and crumbly, and fell apart halfway through the burger. The sauce tasted like salty mayo mixed with deli mustard--no real punch or depth of flavor. On the bright side, the fries were excellent--crispy, well-seasoned, and generous enough to share. The soft drink is refillable, but you have to request it at the counter. Service: The staff was great--friendly and attentive, which helped balance out the food experience. Overall: While I wanted to love this spot, the burger was underwhelming for the price. Fries and service were solid, but the main event--the burger--fell short. read more

Went to Goldburgers yesterday for takeout. The wait wasn't bad, and you can tell they're still working out some opening-week kinks. We ordered two Goldburgers along with both curly and regular fries. The burgers were excellent. One of the better smash burgers I've had, with those crispy edges. Both kinds of fries were also great, though I think everything probably would've been even better eaten fresh on-site. Overall, a really solid experience, especially considering it's opening week and they're still ironing things out. You can't expect any place to hit the ground running perfectly, but they're off to a great start. read more
