    Stopped by on a recent weekday for lunch and was surprised that I was their only customer. No parking lot so I found a spot on Ventura in front of a meter. Looked at the menu and went for their "Signature Smashburger" on top of the menu. The guy did ask me if I wanted any additional patties but I didn't see an option for that anywhere -- so just went with what I thought was their classic. When it arrived, it was a shockingly small 2 oz patty between a King's Hawaiian bun. (They don't use Martin's Potato Rolls here). I couldn't tell you about the quality of the meat as it was mostly bun. On the way out, the guy asked me "how was everything?" and I said there wasn't enough meat. "Everyone says that!" he replied. He said the online menu has an option to get a double or triple -- with the prices -- but not the huge in-store menu. I've been eating smash burgers for years and never have heard of a 2 oz patty. (They don't list that fact -- I had to ask). So, for my $12.00 bucks, I left hungry and disappointed.

    Love the burgers here! Great place for a great smash burger. The owner is always here always working hard. Very chill place to hang out and grab a burger. In the summer the patio is great too.

    Spicy Smash Burger

    Lately I've been on a burger runs; chasing good smash burgers , so I stopped at Just Smash on my way home. Ordered the Spicy Double Smash. - Flavor: solid cheesy burger, but the "spicy" was really just jalapeños (can't recall anything else being spicy about it). Nothing else gave it much kick. That was a little disappointing . - Atmosphere: inside felt a little sketch, but they've got a nice outdoor seating area that made up for it. - Overall: not my favorite, but not bad. Personally, there are a few other spots I'd hit before coming back here.

    Stopped here for a quick bite and somehow lucked out with meter parking right in front . This is impressive for such a busy street. I got the spicy smash and everything tasted super fresh, hot, and well seasoned. The burger had a good kick without overpowering the flavor, and the fries were crispy. It was so good the meal never made it home. I ended up eating it in the car before even pulling off. This is a great spot when you want a fast and satisfying burger that still tastes fresh and made-to-order. I'll definitely be back.

    10/10 Hands down.... Let's Smash is the best burger I've ever had anywhere. The burger tastes so good and it melts in your mouth. Blows In n Out, or any other burger joint out of the water. This place is truly a hidden gem on Ventura Blvd. The lady in the front is super sweet, I love how calm and chill she seems. Definitely a vibe. I will be back every time I'm in the area. Only thing I'd personally change about this place is carrying Coke products instead of Pepsi. Thats just a personal preference. Still, all time BEST BURGER.

    New Menu!

    Great burgers! Go for the double patties! (They get smashed pretty thin.) Tater tots are the best!

    Smash Burger (triple patty)

    Good burger. But basic. Nothing really special about it. Just a soft buttery bun, grilled onions, pickles, cheese and triple patties. The Cajun fries were not it for me. Just skinny fries was "flavorless" Cajun seasoning. Again, nothing bad about the burger. It was good, just hella basic.

    I was starving, looking for a new place for lunch, searched Google maps in my location and found LETS SMASH. I'm always looking for a good burger, had to hit this place up, it had good reviews and I'm glad I did. Got their spicy burger, jalapenos and spicy sauce. I wish I would have made it a double, it was so damn good. I got it with their regular fries and my wife said they tasted just like McDonald's fries. They were good! Friendly people, nothing to complain about, we'll be back, gonna bring the family. Next time, I'm getting the double!

    We were in the area on a whim and were craving burgers and Lets Smash did not let us down. The parking was a little tough, but we ended up finding parking in the neighborhood a short walk away. We walked in and the menu is not overwhelming - it's basically smash burgers a few different ways, simple. The owner was working the counter and was very accommodating with recommendations, and suggestions and then eventually he came out and was talking to us while we were eating, sharing his entire Lets Smash story. It really refreshing when owners take the time to speak with their customers and I love hearing the stories behind how they got started. LEt's talk food, there was so much flavor in the burgers, the were just the right amount of crisp and crunch to with juicy meat. The buns were toasted perfectly, and the fries and tater tots were seasoned just right and also with just the right amount of crunch and soft warm inside. It was a nice day outside and we sat on the patio, it was the perfect combination for the day.

    Double smash burger

    Solid 3. The outdoor area is not the best, yellowish beaten chairs and metallic tables make it look a little dirty. The service was quick and friendly. I would not consider anything with ketchup in it a smash burger. Onions were mostly raw. But the burger tasted good. Not an authentic smash burger but worth a try at least once. One and done to me

    Double Smash Burger Combo With Curly Fries

    The BEST smash burger/burger in general that I have ever had! They are so flavorful and juicy which is what a lot of other smash burgers are lacking. There is street parking right in front. The seating is casual, you order at the front and then choose where you would like to sit. I really liked the outdoor seating at the front. The service was excellent. I also appreciated the menu's variety of options. I liked the option to do spicy or regular and add/take off items. I also like how there are options between fries, curly fries, and onion rings. We tried the regular fries and curly fries and they were some of the best I have ever had! This place is addicting and I am already planning my next trip!

    Great spot for a classic smash. Very nice little place with great service and awesome food. Can't wait to go back. The burger was super juicy considering the style of burger and had that slight flavor crunch in every bite.

    Can you do this with a turkey burger?

    We do not carry turkey unfortunately.

    Do they make veggie burgers?

    We can make grilled cheese no patty. Currently the mpossible Patty's we used to carry are unavailable for the time being.

We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

It has a small hole in the wall café type vibe to this place and the service is really friendly. I came specifically for the DH, which is the dry aged 10 oz patty. At $21 as of 6/2026, it's not a cheap burger, but you are getting a lot of burger and with high quality food ingredients. Just a really great burger and not one of those smashburgers either. These are thiiiicck. I've been wanting to come here for a very long time, but for whatever reason, I just haven't had a chance. I actually even went to their other location into Topanga a while back (which is no longer there along with lots of other places in that ill fated food court). I also saw that they recently made a list of one of the best burgers in the country/world. And while I feel those list are pretty subjective, I do think that this is one of the best burgers I personally have had.
