    Finally tried the vegetarian shake shack mushroom burger. It squirted in my face when I bit into it, that's how juicy it is. I like that they put so much cheese in it. It had a lot of body for something vegetarian. I'd get it again but shake shack is so damn expensive. Also needs like ranch or an aioli to add some moisture n sauciness

    I came here often when I lived in this area 6-7 years ago. I liked it a lot back then. Food still tastes ok. But my Chicken sandwich bun is not that pretty as before. The bun was kinda flattened not fluffy...looked a little dehydrated Service is fine. Employees were happily talking to each other. Took a while to realize that I was waiting to ask for my drink that they forgot. Place was clean.

    Big shack burger

    Located near the Americana, Shake Shack is known for their sweet buns on their juicy burgers. Parking is a bit difficult in this area, you might get lucky with street parking, or the parking lot behind Shake Shack, if not you'll have to go a couple blocks over to one of the paid parking structures. Ordering at Shake Shack is now all self serve. You place your order at one of the ipads, grab a number, and they'll bring you your food. I got the "big shack burger" a special menu item at the time. It essentially was a big mac, two beef patties, a middle bun, tomato, onion, lettuce, the works. It was about $16 without fries. The burger was cooked well and juicy. The veggies inside were fresh and crisp. A special shout out to them using real produce, the onions were whole and not some chopped up mess. The lettuce was unwilted and actually had some flavor to it. I imagine back in the 50s this is kind of what burgers were like before they got turned into these mass produced chemical scienced abominations. Overall it was a good burger. It was not the best burger I've had for $16, but it is better than the other fast food burgers I've had recently. If you're looking for something simple and good, then this is the burger place you should try.

    Chicken Nuggets and Fries. Very good and fresh.

    Premium burgers. We like Shake Shake, but don't love it. The burgers for my taste need more seasoning; and next time I will add ONIONS to my order. Not to compare, but "In-N-Out Burger" may be lesser tier in terms of quality beef and menu offerings, but the burgers there are tastier. However... We love the shakes, chicken sandwich, fries, and offerings of adult beverages. Staff are so nice at this location. Music is nice. Plus it's open late: till 11pm. Parking is in the back ALLEY paid meter or structured parking . Homeless population are present in the alley and around, but mostly harmless. It's an LA problem not Shake Shack.

    Ice cream treat!

    I absolutely love Shake Shack, and so does my pup Howie! Alejandro, Allie, Alexis, Michael, and the whole crew make every visit feel so warm and welcoming--it's truly a community here. My dog insists on walking me over, and they treat him like the king he is. The customer service is consistently outstanding, and the food? Always fresh, delicious, and worth every bite. Thank you for bringing so much joy to me and Howie--we couldn't love this place more! -Natalie

    We love shake shack. Always a great burger and fries we grabbed a bunch of burgers to go at this location and were very happy with our decision. The cashier was quick to take our order. The surrounding area is very clean and safe. There is outdoor seating available as well. The restaurant was very clean inside I took off a star for the bathroom not being as clean as it should be but overall it was great experience. Very limited on street parking which requires you pay.

    One inch longer metal was found inside my hamburger
    A G.

    I love Shake Shack; it's the best place for cheeseburgers! Today, during lunch at the Glendale location, I ordered a double cheeseburger with a side of cheese fries to go. Once I got to the office and began enjoying my meal, I was halfway through my burger when I discovered a piece of metal, specifically, stainless steel. It was about an inch long and seemed to have come from a cleaning brush. I called the manager and explained that this could seriously injure someone. It makes me question the safety of eating there. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this could have been if I had been feeding it to my 6-year-old. The only reason I noticed the sharp metal wire is that I always eat with utensils. Safety over sales is the basis that consumers demand; one time is enough for me and my family.

    In a quick overnight trip to LA checked in pretty late and almost everything was closed or closing some fancier places still open but just wanted a quick bite. Saw this as it was accross the street and grabbed some food to eat at the hotel. Order a double cheeseburger, fries and a strawberry shake and I was pretty much pot committed when I saw the almost $24 charge. To be honest the meat was very good and the hamburger was juicy and bun was great. I enjoyed the fries also as they were crispy on the outside but tender inside and well seasoned. The shake was outstanding. The service was good, the place was busy but efficient but just can't get over the price. A family of four could easy drop almost $100 and that probably does not include the tip so too pricey for me for this cost I would go to a full sit down restaurant. So the food a solid 4, the vibe is a 4.5 but can only give it a 3 for the value.

    Some of the many tables and seats.

    There is street parking and a parking lot round the back. It is Glendale so it's all metered parking. Nice place and clean. More than enough seating and spacious. The staff was really nice. I had a Single Black Truffle Burger. Very good and was more filling than it looked. But wow it's pretty small lol. I also got the parmesan fries with truffle dip. Also really good. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside and the dip was pretty awesome. Parmesan was just right. The Mango Passionade was refreshing. An employee offered to take our trays when we finished. All in all a delicious meal and great service. Thank you!

    Two burgers from the Halloween BOGO deal!
    Louis T.

    I came by for the BOGO deal (good through Halloween ) and it was 100% worth it. Service was quick, team was friendly, and the food came out fast even with the rush. Fries stayed crunchy, and the cookies-and-cream shake was fire -- thick, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet.

    New Yuzu Honey Lemonade, Korean BBQ Burger, Korean Style Fried Chicken Sandwich and fries IG: @ammysalamii
    Angela G.

    Decided to grab lunch since we were in the area over the weekend trying to kill time while waiting for our friends to finish the Pokemon Go Tour event. They mentioned the new Korean bbq influenced burgers so it was the perfect time to try it! We walked in, not super busy, cashier was super friendly. The lighting in the location is awesome! Huge windows overlooking the street and nice outdoor seating. Our food came out super quick too! We ordered the New Yuzu Honey Lemonade, Korean BBQ Burger, Korean Style Fried Chicken Sandwich, and fries. The sandwich was a bit odd, I guess the sauce kinda soaked into the bun making it weird and soggy. The burger was much better and highly recommend! I'd get it again any day. Really hoping it becomes a permanent menu item!! The yuzu lemonade was also phenomenal and hope for a permanent item. Can never go wrong with Shake Shack!! As we finished, we got up and one of the workers kindly took our tray to clean up. Super nice and don't see that often. Overall a great location, especially next to a ton of other great spots next door like Philz Coffee!! IG: @ammysalamii

    When in need of a good burger fast, hard to beat the quality and consistency Shake Shack brings. The Avocado Bacon Burger and the Smoke Shack pictured here are some of the all usual favorites.

    Hot dog and Fries to go.

    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.

    We've been ordering from FTW for months because whenever i think of a smash burger, its either the…read moreones i make myself or the ones from FTW. 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.

The Black Cow Cafe has been part of my life since my college years, so when I came here now, it was always filled with nostalgia and a slowed pace over a calming meal.

There were no TVs nor could I recall any background music over all of the loud conversations. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to revisit The Black Cow Cafe, and hoped to return soon. The menu was packed, the food was good, the prices were comparable, and the service was busy but manageable. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $69.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

The burgers are smashed perfectly -- crispy edges, juicy center, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don't rush the process and actually care about how the food comes out. The buns are soft but sturdy, the toppings are fresh, and everything is well-balanced without being greasy or overwhelming. The fries are hot, seasoned right, and pair perfectly with the burger. Portions are solid for the price, and you definitely leave full. Service is friendly and laid-back, and the vibe feels local and welcoming, not corporate or fake. It's the kind of spot you hit once and then immediately start recommending to people. If you're anywhere nearby and craving a legit smash burger, OG Smash Burger is 100% worth it -- especially if you're lucky enough to live close like I do.

    I really wanted the OG Smash Burger to live up to the standard of Original Tommy's, but…read moreunfortunately, 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.

    Kitchen consistently serves up GREAT food…read more This is truly a gem in the area, with TOP level cocktails. Not too large but a respectable number of taps, and a nice selection of beers. Service is the best in the area. Friendly, respectful, quick... can't say enough great things about the staff. It feels like you're on the Cheers set, if Cheers served great food. Dimly lit, and decorated like an old time tavern - wonderful experience everytime.

    John Sparr Tavern is a fantastic drinking establishment that happens to serve some great food…read more That's my flippant assessment, but it's one of those places that you want to keep to yourself. However that's just not fair now, is it? I love the interior. Dark, but there's one window in the front. Comfy booths. It's got the Boston bar feel. I don't know if that's a compliment for everyone, but I mean it in the best way. Established and substantial. Service is good. Clyde, the only bartender I've encountered is a pretty cool cat. Go visit him and see what I mean. The drink menu is impressive with old school tiki bar drinks highlighted. However, that Sparr Cocktail (a manhattan) rings my chimes too. I've had both lunch and dinner. Some stand outs: the crab cakes, the roast beef dip, and the sand dabs at dinner were all very satisfying. I just remembered the cobbler of pears poached in red wine! So good! I also had a filet one night and it was cooked perfectly. Check out John Sparr. You won't regret it unless you get a ticket for not curbing your tires!
