50 Best Burger Restaurants near Highland Park

“The staff there is very nice. The restaurant is very clean inside and outside. The food is always at the right temperature. There's hardly ever any line in the drive-thru. Unfortunately it looks like they need more staff, there are very few employees working there. I believe the issue is a corporate issue and not local management issue. All things considered this location is great.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“There was a woman working this morning around 3:30AM who recommended the creamy avocado ranch sauce which is incredibly tasty and made my meal experience much better. Now I know to get the avocado lime sauce which pairs perfectly with curly fries and chicken tenders. If you're reading this, I thoroughly enjoyed your recommendation. Not all heroes wear capes.“

“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!!!“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“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.“

“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“

“Burgers are so good. I get mine extra toasted and it just melts in my mouth. The staff is friendly. I recommend you get a table fast if you see it open!“

“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!“

“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 😞 😡😡“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The Monty classic cheese burger. Outstanding!“

“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“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“It’s In-N-Out! Food was good!“

“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!“

“Great ravioli 😋 and pizza“

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

“Best burgers around! I drive from OC to eat these delicious burgers!“

“clean friendly and fast very good food!“

“Softies Burger is doing everything right when it comes to preparing a good burger. A good Smash burger, is prepared with love, patience and a little science behind it. Owners Josh and Sam are well on their way to become the next rising stars of the LA restaurant scene. Offering three different smash burgers (Cali, Aji, Crispy Shroom), with a variety of other options such as Caesar salad and wraps, not to mention they serve breakfast too! Try all three. Go for the loaded fries. I only wish they had one in Atlanta.“

“This is my favorite breakfast/brunch spot I’ve had in years. My go-to is the egg burrito with rice and beans, plus a fish ceviche. Their fish and shrimp ceviches are sooo good. I love the balance of all the flavors. Hands down one of my favorite places. 🥰“

“Plenty of good IPAs, draft, and domestic beers. The Backyard Burger was wonderful, definitely coming back just for that. Having Delirium Tremens in their beer stock was amazing, hadn't seen many bars with this many good options in a while. A good place for a quiet and private date, but with good walking distance to Echo Park and local bars and venues.“

“I LOVE this place! They have happy hour from 3pm-6pm on the weekdays, but the best part is Joy the amazing Barista! She is very nice and will always make your day! I get so much school work done here! 1000 stars!“

“Delicious food! Had the hamburgers, fries, tacos, Mexican hot dogs, BLTs. Gotta try the other items too.“

“Breakfast tacos are a great option. Despite their seemingly small size, they are packed with flavor. Make sure to ask for hot sauce if you like an extra spicy kick. Tacos have a nice heat by themselves and are really flavorful. Highly recommended for breakfast. Sold in 2 or 4 option.“

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

“Probably the best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had“

“Came in hoping for brunch after a hardcore hiking and learned that breakfast wraps up at 11:45am — worth knowing. No regrets though, because I got the smash burger combo instead and it was excellent. Everything tasted freshly made, the drink came free, and the service was genuinely lovely. Only one thing bothers me was the heat… I’ll be back, and next time I’ll turn up before 11:45am.“

“I just read this article in Los Angeles Magazine July 2022 about Lucky Boy !! very cool great place!! A Pasadena Landmark“

“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.“

“Came here with my friend, who is an Altadena resident, and they told me this place is well-known among the locals. I couldn't believe how extensive the menu was. Besides burgers, they offer cheesesteaks, Chinese food, Mexican food, and even Thai curry! I was amazed.

The restaurant is Asian-owned, which gave me confidence in trying something from their Chinese food menu. However, I ended up sticking with a traditional burger combo, even though I was really tempted to try the Thai curry. I saw someone order it, but they only had the vegan version available because they had run out of chicken. I'll save the Thai curry for my next visit when the chicken version is available.

The burger was freshly made and came with avocado. It was high quality and very delicious. The fries were decent as well.

I also want to mention that the restroom was exceptionally clean. You can often tell a lot about a restaurant's hygiene standards by the condition of its restroom. Just note that the restroom entrance is located outside rather than inside the restaurant.

If you're in the Altadena area, please consider supporting this local business. You won't be disappointed by the food.“

“The food was delicious. n good portion. thank God you Except EBT Cause I don't have a kitchen .“

“I love their pastrami dip sandwiches. Full of meat and good bread. One thing for sure they are consistent. Their meat is always moist, tender and with flavor. Check cliseingtimes out. Usually half hour before posted time.The one on Atlantic closes at 1am not 130am. All the restaurants, I have gone to a few, are clean including bathrooms. I drive from LA to enjoy this treat. All are either in Pasadena or east of LA. I wish their was one in the south bay/ LA area.Other foods are offered too. Staff are polite.“

“This food is amazing. As a long time vegan it's nice to have a place to go and feel like everyone else. Drive thru, order and eat. 💕 The quality is unparalleled, and the service is stellar.“
