OG Smash Burger definitely lived up to the hype. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and had that perfect crispy smash on the edges. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and everything came out hot. The fries were crispy and seasoned well, making the perfect side. If you're craving a classic smash burger done right, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: n/a Food: 5/5 - Let me start by saying, this might be one of the best burgers in Burbank. I got a double OG smash burger and a chili cheese fries and I must say, this is an excellent smash burger. The burger itself is very flavorful, well seasoned and the crispiness from the smashed edges balance the softness of the buns perfectly to create an amazing experience with each bite. The savory chili and the raw onions blend perfectly and make a well balanced bite as well. Price: 4/5 - Overall, I believe the price for the quality of the food is a great value. Service: 4/5 - Service was based on a take out order, and interactions with staff. Food was ready in time for pick up, all interactions were positive. Ambiance: n/a - Order was for takeout, however they have tables and chairs along the sidewalk to enjoy your food hot and fresh. read more

Once again, this burger absolutely hits. I've tried a lot of smash burgers, and in my opinion this is hands down the best smash burger in California. I don't care what all the critics say--the burger speaks for itself. The patty is perfectly juicy while still having that crispy, flavorful crust that every great smash burger should have. The chili is the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burger. My biggest complaint? I have to drive way too far to get one. That's how good it is. Please open a location in Arcadia! On top of the amazing food, the staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Great food and great people are a hard combination to beat. If you're a smash burger fan and haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out. Worth every mile of the drive. read more

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. read more

OG Smash Burger - Chili Cheese Burger Shoestring Original Fries and a Jaritos for $24. - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

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. read more

At a quick glance, I honestly have to stop myself from reading their signage as Orgasm Burger! Now it's stuck in my head and I'll always see it through that dyslexic lens. I was coming to this place long ago when it was another restaurant and I worked around the corner, so it's nice to see something using this incredibly limited space to serve something excellent. Pleasant staff, the menu is a perfect selection for an establishment this small, the food is quality and tasty. Smash Burgers are all the rage right now, so hopefully they find their core crowd and able to survive the eventual thinning of the smash herd. Support as many small businesses as you're able nowadays! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

OG Smash Burger - Single burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

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! read more

The best smash burger I've had to date. I will return. If you're looking for a great smash burger, this is the joint.

Service is good people nice! Food cones out hot! But the burgers really small and buns and smash down completely flat! Hardly any chilli And for $21 bucks for burger combo was very high for such small burger! And drink! And grease dripping everywhere! I didn't feel after eating so much grease! Not a fan! Original Tommies seems to have alot better chili burger ! Lever and better taste! read more

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... read more

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. read more

This burger shop is so adorable, in eye catching red and yellow (ketchup and mustard) colors. It really stands out on the street. When I passed by last time I remembered having read very positive reviews on their food in the past. I had errands to do but decided to grab something to enjoy for dinner later on. The patty melt jumped out at me since I generally love that sandwich. I prefer regular bread to hamburger buns as well. This time that was all I ordered since the fries would get cold by the time I ate them. The patty melt is a very ample size. Service was very friendly and efficient. I love that their story is on the inside of the box. So I said I was going to eat it in a couple of hours for dinner. But when I popped open the box to take a look, it smelled so good that I had to pull over and eat half of the melt on the spot. So glad I did because that fresh perfectly hot bite was remarkable. It is a perfect patty melt and the best I've had in town. The meat is expertly prepared, bread was not soggy and the toppings were just right. I am a slow eater and it stayed warm for quite a bit of time. I am going back to try more very soon. In addition to smash burgers, they have grilled PB & J sandwiches too. read more

The best burger I've had in a looong time! Everything I wanted, and then some.

Interesting, quaint little burger spot straddling the border of Burbank and Glendale. Love the decor: bright red and yellow branding everywhere. There's no indoor seating; just a storefront and a few tables with shade out front. Parking is street. Menu is very simple. Just the smash burger, a patty melt and a PB&J for the kids and the vegans. I got the combo with the double patty. Came with a soda and a side of fries. So, as for the burger, theirs is pretty damn good. It's a bit on the smaller side, but it's a quality burger for sure. Patties were nicely crisped, flavorful and juicy. The onions were nicely caramelized and crisped. I think the best part of the burger is their OG sauce. It's not too tarty like most Thosand Island-type burger sauces, but well-balanced. Goes well with their fries, too. Speaking of the fries, they give you generous portions of the shoestring type. These were well-seasoned and crisped nicely. A good complement to a really good smash burger. I'd put OG Smash Burger in the upper tier of the smash burger spots I've been to. You should check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

OG Smash Burger - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

Located on Victory Blvd on the outskirts of Glendale, the shop is small and unassuming, other than their large sign and clean order window. There is some street parking along Victory and a few tables for outdoor seating, but when it's busy, expect to eat in your car or on the bed of your truck. The place can get pretty busy with just a normal flow of customers just due to the size, expect to wait at least 10-15 minutes even when it doesn't look too busy. If you're in a rush, it might not be the place for you but if you have some time to spare, it's worth it. OG is overall a delicious smash burger. It's a classic smash, just onions, pickles, and sauce. Their burgers are smashed correctly, achieving a great crispy edge while having a great and balanced flavor that's not too salty. I believe a smash needs to have two patties to have the right ratio, and the same is true here. The single is a decently generous patty for what it is, but it's still lacking the right ratio. The fries are a very nice accompaniment, well seasoned and crunchy, nothing to write home about, but a nice accompaniment to the burger. A combo probably comes out $3-5 dollars more than comparable places. If you're in the area, though, I'd definitely give it a try; there aren't many places in all of LA that are on the level. read more

I came in excited for my order and was in a great mood, but I left pretty disappointed. They charged extra for the house sauce, and it felt like they nickel-and-dime customers for everything.
