50 Best Burger Restaurants near East Los Angeles

“Such a great place with so many food options. Place has been here forever a d still going strong. Had a few items here that were all good in my opinion. Their chicken salad is pretty big, even for being take out. They got all the fixings in it to get you fullness you get in a meal. Has a club sandwhich as well and that as well very filling. Chose sourdough for my bread option cause why not. Their Bacon Western burger was off the hook. Had great flavor on the sauce and onions rings inside had great texture to it. Was surprised to find that they also out pickles in it, which I don't recall that inside bbq burger, but it was not bad att all to have in it. The amount fries they give enough to share with someone and they are the skinny / thick style. Location is right off major crossing of Whittier Blvd/Garfield Ave across from Starbucks, can't miss them.“

“Food was delicious. The chili fries are the bomb hands down. Watch out The Hat. You lost me as a customer 😉😉“

“First time trying food here for Breakfast. Was not disappointed. I had their breakfast burrito. It was not greasy, the ingredients were chopped finely and the burrito stayed in place. The sauces are delicious. The place itself is very welcoming and the staff was very kind. I will be back to try other dishes.“

“I've been coming here for a while for a few specific things:

-Vietnamese Iced Coffee, it's consistently good. Never had a bad one from here. At 5$ it's a pretty good deal.

-Ham & Cheese Croissant is always solid too whether it's cold or warmed up. Again, never had a bad one from here. I believe it's about 4/4.50$.

-Their filled donuts (Bavarian & Raspberry) are so good too! $1.75 each if I recall correctly.

Service is always great too, I don't know the dudes name (I catch him working mornings), but he's always friendly and efficient at getting your order ready even when he's got a few people in the shop.“

“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.

The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.

We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.

Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.

Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.

The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.

Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.

Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.

And somehow we still made room for dessert.

We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.

What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.

Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.

Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.

Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“Very Clean and the staff are all very respectful.“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“Double Double combo for my mother and myself.“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“It’s in n out. Is anything really needed to say?“

“Found this gem by chance and it was incredible! The burger is truly delicious and unique—a completely different experience from other spots. The quality of the meat and the flavors make it stand out. A must-visit if you're in Los Feliz“

“Es un lugar de comida rápida, con mucha afluencia de personas; el sabor de la hamburguesas es bueno pero podrían mejorar la limpieza de los comedores.“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“This was the perfect burger!!“

“I saw this place while driving and saw a line waiting for their food, so I decided to give it a try.. Ì asked those in line, what was good there.. The answer was either the teriyaki bowl or plates, and the teriyaki burgers.. I got the teriyaki chicken bowl.. it looked and smelled great driving home.. After eating it, I didn’t understand the line of people waiting.. It was okay, but in my opinion, no big deal.. I’ll be honest, I did eat it ALL, and the serving size was BIG, so by no means was it bad.. To be fair though, I’m gonna have to try again, and see what I missed the first time..“

“very nice service 👍 always come back“

“When got to drive-up the guy couldnt gueas which order was mine. i had to remind him. Fries were cold and soggy. The size of the burger was the smallest than I've ever seen before. Same was true for the fries. My first visit for a long time. Disappointing. Wayne Weaver 6262622068“

“Delicious. The only place I've ever seen a pastrami breakfast burrito on the menu! Portions were huge, the staff were friendly, and although we took our food to go, the booths and bathroom were as clean as a whistle. There's a drive through! But also there seemed to be plenty of free parking in the back and sides of the building.“

“ase unas 2 horas compramos unas hordenes y 2 burritos que nos dio mucho gusto por lo grande que se miraban y nuestra sorpresa que solo era Arroz y frijoles que pena 😞 😡😡“

“The best vegan baked goods around town! I had the cornbread, almond cookie (gluten free), chocolate chip (gluten free), and Armenian pizza with a mixed tea. So good!“

“This place is beautiful!! The staff are amazing, thoughtful and kind. And the food is incredible. After years of walking past, i went in yesterday with my dog Rocket, who was thrilled to find out they had a dog menu also. He really enjoyed his puppy patty. We cant wait to go back. Thank You All.“

“It is the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Unfortunately there isn’t one where we live. But anytime I am in CA we always go to the one in Riverside.“

“Very nice atmosphere worth the wait for the burgers very delicious“

“This is a cute retro hamburger place. Burger was good and the chicken sandwich was good! We also had the chocolate shakes 😋
They had tvs on playing the world cup and it was lively inside. The waitress was friendly and it was a great experience. Thank you!“

“Possibly the best burger in all of Los Angeles, hands down. Quality meat and no frills preparation.

Get the DH if you’ve never been, it’s one of the most unique burgers I’ve ever tried. The smash burgers are also good as well.

It gets pretty packed on the weekends“

“good burgers, made to order one thing I did notice, all the servings have gotten a lot smaller“

“Food is good service is good. Very clean and fast service. My issue with this place is that they don’t offer restroom for customers no where to wash hands . How can a restaurant not offer restrooms?“

“I had a cheeseburger, fries and a Coke, I have to say this was the best burger I have had in long time. The cheeseburger was juicy not dry and the lettuce and tomatoes were not just thrown on it. It was very good…“

“Do you love our Billboard? Spin360corefitness.com/godbillboards“

“Reasonably priced burgers in downtown LA! We had the boss burger and the vegan burger, both delicious--and don't forget the crispy, well seasoned fries :) Will definitely be returning. Just be warned that there is only outdoor seating, just a couple of tables that people share and leave after eating, so plan accordingly.“

“Is the best places in downtown for lunch to workers Los Angeles ,the first workers so good and so nicely, service to any people and that sodas coca kola so delicious all workers so nice and the boos is so cute friendly and excellent service I love this place Paulina ortiz and I have good friends in the local neighbors to workers“

“I was hungry late at night after an event and resigned myself to the local overrated In n Out - until I arrived to find it a madhouse of mopheaded teens with lines out the door. Drove to Arry's instead and got a better burger, literally twice the size in 100x less time. That's about all I can report - good fast food burgers.“

“I ordered my burger combo over the phone, and the woman who took my order was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When I arrived, my order was ready to go, which made the experience even better.

The Thousand Island dressing is delicious, the fries were fresh and crispy—not reheated—and the burger was absolutely amazing. For a small burger spot, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of great vibes.

I also ordered the chili cheese fries and am excited to try them. I usually order regular fries first to see how a restaurant does the basics, and they definitely exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to see how the chili cheese fries turn out!“

“Un excelente lugar para desayunar y cenar se los recomiendo tengo mas de 20 años visitándolo.“

“I'm a bit late in posting this, but I wanted to make sure a phenomenal employee gets the credit he deserves. On Labor Day, we went through the drive-thru and were helped by Jonathan. His customer service was absolutely exceptional—so much so that he's the entire reason I'm writing this review today. Outstanding service like his is hard to come by!“

“The Monty classic cheese burger. Outstanding!“

“Came here during my vacation a few years ago. First time ever eating their world famous burgers. I was very happy with their hamburgers. The fries need improvement. Friendly staff. Old school restaurant.“

“I was looking for a quick lunch and decided to try Sunshine Pizza, and it didn't disappoint! The service was friendly and I thought I'd have to wait some time for my slice lunch deal to be ready, but it was out before I even had my cash ready to pay. The pizza was reasonably priced and the cheese was chewy, stringy and delicious. I've been looking for a place that has crust with a great flavor and texture, and found that here!“

“Anytime you wanna eat and you in Cali go here“

“Food was delicious. Got a cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake. I'm very picky lol. They got my order right! Fries nice and crisy just how I like them.
Chocolate shake so good.

Will be going back. Want to try breakfast“

“always great food and even better that we can dine in. Anniversary dinner“

“1 star for atmosphere because it is drive thru only no inside seating. Which is fine because I go for the food. They are busy but line moves fast. Please don't make a left on to Telegraph when you exit. Go around the block back to Mills it's safer“

“It’s In-N-Out! Food was good!“

“clean friendly and fast very good food!“

“the best sliders in Los Angeles with tasty crispy tots and amazing sauce. not to mention a kickass staff“

“Great ravioli 😋 and pizza“

“This was my second time here and it definitely did not disappoint. The first time I came with my brother, and today I visited again with my whole family who are here in LA visiting from Germany. Everyone loved it.

The burgers are amazing: juicy, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. For me, definitely one of the best burgers in Los Angeles.

Also, a big thank you to the wonderful service, super friendly and attentive. My little niece got some gummies too!

Highly recommend, I will definitely be back!

Greetings from Germany!“

“Me gusta el sabor de las hamburguesas y las papas con queso“
