    Chili Cheese Burger  Shoestring Original Fries  and a Jaritos for $24.
    Jaime R.

    I really wanted the OG Smash Burger to live up to the standard of Original Tommy's, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite compare. While the chili is tasty and the service is excellent--the cashier was genuinely dedicated to guest satisfaction, and the food comes out hot and made-to-order in 5-10 minutes--it lacks the signature experience of the real OG Original Tommy's. Not huge at all and for the price, therefore not a good value. I spent $24 for the Chilicheese bruger combo with $1 upcharge for a bottled drink. The burger itself was decent, but they are way too tight with the chili portions compared to Tommy's, and the shoestring fries don't hold the chili nearly as well as the thicker-cut fries. I also found the specific combination of pickles, onions, and mustard on a Tommy's burger to be superior. The setting is purely a walk-up window with four outdoor benches, so it lacks the atmosphere of a traditional dine-in experience. Street parking during around 2pm on weekday was no problem. Got a spot right in front of the joint. If you do stop by, definitely give the chili a moment to cool--it comes out steaming hot! It's a solid, quick meal, but it hasn't dethroned the real OG, Original Tommy's, for me.

    I came by here years ago to eat at Pecos Bill's BBQ (since 1946) but once the owner passed away it closed. I enjoy eating cheeseburgers and this one was really good and flavored just right. I ordered the combo with upgraded chili cheese fries and a fountain drink. The only thing that shocked me was the price. This combo came out to 25 bucks which I thought was way too steep.

    The food was amazing and the vibes were impeccable. Nice place to go after getting off the LA River trail. Especially with their fast and stellar service. I will for sure be coming back and best of all. Other then the workers being nice to talk too for a couple min. FREE REFILLS!!!! IN THIS ECONOMY!!!

    I've had many smash burgers.... but the OG stands out! Crispy patty edges unlike any smash burger out there. The beef flavor comes through splendidly. The bun is soft and melts into the patty as easily as the cheese. Balance of flavors is achieved with the acidity of the pickles against the OG sauce, cheese and patty. The fries were crispy with enough salt/seasoning to make these fries yummmm. Tanya was super nice and gave me a little history about the OG smash burger which made my meal more meaningful. Friendly service, delicious burger and fries makes this my favorite smash burger so far.

    In town for work, and was looking for a burger near my hotel. I eat mostly Carnivore so it's just easy getting a bunch of burger patties. I ordered 6 patties with cheese. Super easy. Each patty had nice crispy edges and melted cheese. I sat outside, and service was great!

    Came here for a late night meal! Very pleasant experience. You can't miss OG Smash Burger due to its bright yellow look - it feels like it attracts all the hungry people over Easy street parking and some folks just park in front Food is so good, can't go wrong with their smash burgers and fries We ate there since there was outdoor seating (bright yellow tables and chairs) Would definitely go again!

    Off the beaten path, or at least MY beaten path, I haven't been on this piece of real estate in at LEAST 25 years! They've really created a nice little space with about 4 sidewalk picnic tables for dine in (no indoor seating, and only a walk-up window for order and pick-up). On this 94 degree Burbank day, I opted for a pick-up, but I would eat on site on a more forgiving day. Online ordering was super easy and my food was ready as promised. The woman behind the window was quite lovely and made sure I had everything I needed before I took off. We got burgers and added (super hot) fresh jalapeños, and chili (really added to the burgers!), and we both loved them! We were both in agreement that we'd return again before we were half way done! A great smash burger in Glendale/Burbank.

    Preface: To 5 smash burger joints I'm comparing to based on Peacock's "Call Bullshit" offer on June 7th for Emmy nominated Poker Face. So this review is solely on a two bite comparison. 2nd best burger of the day! I'd go back. Crispy edges and a nice fluffy bun that doesn't take away from the burger patty.

    My new favorite smashburger in Los Angeles but I wish their smashburger was bigger because it was so good! I loved the crispy lacing around the burger which was perfectly crispy and flavorful. Probably my favorite smashburger! I loved how there were pickles all throughout the burger to cut the greasiness and the perfectly melty cheese. The quality of the patty and meat was also better than other places. Their fries are also very similar to the Win-Dow but seasoned which was good. I'm sad I forgot to take a picture of the burger!

    Visited on a Sunday for lunch. There is no interior seating, but they do have some tables outside to enjoy their food. I enjoyed the burger and fries. The edges of the burger were crispy, and the fries were seasoned. Lots of street parking.

    I think we've found a new pitstop here in Glendale- OG Smash offered our family great food and great service. Opted for the double smash, but also ordered a grilled cheese, two additional singles, and fries. We will definitely be back to try a pb & j! The burgers may seem small to some, but maybe see them as an opportunity to slow things down a few minutes. Or just order one or two more burgers. In short, if you're close by, don't pass, smash!

    Typical smash burger that uses grilled onions. Not huge at all and for the price, it's not really a good buy. They also use the same old tired formula. Smash burger with crappy bun and few condiments. Oh, and of course the iniquitous thousand island dressing. Fries and other stuff like onion rings are basically plain and forgettable. Is it the worst burger joint in LA? No. But I wouldn't come back because there is nothing to see here that I haven't already seen. You see, the way I judge burgers is simple. If I can make a better one at home on my grill - there is no reason to spend my money being disappointed with cookie cutter burger spots that use subpar ingredients and offer little value for time and money spent. Nuff said... Food, service and ambience are blah...

    If I could give it no stars, I would. Ordered from Uber eats to support smaller and newer businesses only to be disappointed with raw burger patties and green french fries (natural toxin solanine). I ordered sides not poison. I called to advise them of the mishaps, and my safety concerns for the food that theyre serving (didn't even ask for a refund), just wanted to bring it to thier attention... only to get a condescending attitude and get caught off when trying to explaining the issue... thanks for hanging up on me, Shant... your cashier was WAY more professional than you in handling this situation. Mark my words, OG Smash Burger will have a quick and rapid demise. Not only does your food suck, so does your customer service. (Nothing false about what the food you served us, pics and video prove it). Plus, the response you give to all your negative reviews speaks VOLUMES about your costumer service.

    WHEN: Tue @7pm…read more Located in a small plaza, while there is free parking, it's also quite limited with it being share with other business establishments. However, since we came at night time where most of them were closed, we got parking right in front. This spot is more of a take-away place, with 6 counter seatings indoors, and maybe 3 chairs right out front. This tiny burger spot seems to be run by just one person, so it helps that you can self-order at their kiosk. He was very attentive juggling between cooking the made-to order items, and check in on the costumers in case they had questions. After placing my order at their one device, it was roughly a 15 minutes wait. Here's what we ordered: CHEESEBURGER - $9.90 High-quality beef patty smashed with grilled onions, serviced on a toasted Martin's potato bun and topped with pickles and their fry sauce. I really enjoyed this rich tasting burger. I think that fry sauce was a huge factor...but also that soft bun...and that flavorful beef patty. I really enjoyed this. FRIES - $5.25 Golden Thing-Cut Fries. Perfect. I mean this was made to order so they were warm, crispy and so dang good! It's how fries everywhere should be! I was hoping to come back during my trip in LA, but it's okay, it won't be the last time I visit.

The crispy lace edges, the juicy center, the grilled onion, the slightly spicy sauce, the slightly sweet bun...all dreamworthy! Their sweet potato fries aren't all that great to look at, but omg, always perfectly cooked and salted! Perfectly complimented with the fry sauce. All that said, we were disappointed when we received our last order: 1. Packaging change (paper wrapped instead of cardboard box for the burgers) robbed the craveable edges of their crispness. Plus there was so much grease on the paper wraps it actually made it messier to eat than before. 2. The sauce has changed. The spice level increased (still not too spicy), but a side of sauce (which you pay more than a $1 for) is now sent in a premade branded packet. I have zero issues paying extra for a good sauce made fresh in-house, but instead of tasting like a fresh sauce made with mayo and spices, it now tastes of oil and spices and is not nearly as tasty. We noticed the difference on the burgers as well, so it seems like their sauce is all premade now and not nearly as good.

They have their own parking lot, but it's quite limited. Looks like part of it was under construction for expansion. Here's what I ordered: TATOR TOTS - $6 Fried crispy, tossed in old bay. Exactly how it's described and they delivered it--so good! SINGLE BURGER - $9 3oz patty with cheese, butter toasted bun, mayo, chopped chilies, onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce. Solid smash burger!!!!! Nuff said. I was sad they ran out of hand pies and that I because it was the end of the day. Need to come earlier for them.
