50 Best Burger Restaurants near Lake Balboa

“I love this place the staff is always nice and the food is always good.. I will say the meat can be undercooked every time I go my burger is always undercooked and I have to request a new one but I still continue to return to the store I just have to ask for my meat to be well done“

“I usually order on uber eats or walk in. The environment is amazing and really clean. I’d recommend a walk in experience because they have a daily special sometimes and it’s always some good eating. The guys that work there are always welcoming have great customer service.“

“It's In- N-Out what more to say.“

“Good service super clean friendly staff“

“The burgers are flavorful and tasty. The ingredients are fresh, and the meat is of excellent quality. The meat is so tender that it virtually melts in your mouth, and the sauce adds to the flavor. Juicy and slightly pink in the middle, there was nothing that I did not like. This is the place to go if you're looking for a great burger in LA. P.S: "First Light Farms" provides their beef, which is certified humane, halal, and free of antibiotics, GMOs, and hormones (a New Zealand meat company).“

“The best burgers ever I’ll rate them a 10/10“

“Excelente servicio buena comida recomendado“

“Great LA experience in the heart of West Hollywood!“

“This place is super great! I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid with my parents and now that I’m a parent myself I bring my kids here. The staff is super friendly and easy going. The food still taste great from there huge burgers to their asada fries and tacos 🌮 and their food is always filling so just 1 combo is enough to make you feel like your going into a food coma. I love this place and the staff and I recommend it to anyone here in the valley 😍🥰“

“When you are in California and you’re hungry for something fast delicious and affordable, In N Out is the place to be. If you are adventurous try your burger animal style, better yet, make your fries animal style. You can also request protein style or with ketchup & mustard. Make it a double double and add a shake or two… now you’re eating Cali style. Peace & love“

Definitely recommend. Terrific customer service too! The woman at the front is always so sweet. Don’t sleep on on Twin Castle.“

“Everything is still the bomb here. Highly recommend it.“

“I've been to a few burger lounges around LA now and it's always been really solid. Id say it falls into a category a cut above In-N-Out with a wider variety of flavors and a step down in price from the (inferior) five guys.

I usually order the lounge burger as is, but sometimes the western style or blue cheese burger. The meat to topping ratio is good and the buns are squishy but firm. Their barbecue sauce is something special with a heavy smoky chipotle/hickory flavor. Their fries are fine, hot and crispy, and the batch sodas are another less common touch (great ginger beer and Shirley temple).

The manager at this location seemed very involved and attentive to making things move smoothly and provide a good experience (Dec. 7th ~6:00p). Nice guy.

There's probably a burger lounge near you and they're probably not going to let you down in flavor and price.“

“Excellent service. I ordered over the counter. Got 2 number 2s for my Sister. She was happy. Thanks !!“

“The smash burger here is flavorful, with a crisp sear and well-balanced toppings, and the fries are reliably satisfying. The fry sauce is a standout, adding an extra layer of richness that complements the sides. On execution, the kitchen delivers.

The problem is the price. Portions are modest, yet the cost is high for what you get. Smash burgers are meant to be straightforward and satisfying, but here the price far outweighs the portion and experience. While the flavor and sides are commendable, diners are left feeling they’ve overpaid for what is essentially dressed up fast food.“

“Friendly and cleanliness, easy access“

“After seeing a suggestion in a FB group, decided to give this place a try at around 3pm on a Sunday. The lady that rang me up had a welcoming personality and another lady delivered it with a beautiful smile! The menu options are affordable. the food was so fresh and the restaurant was very clean! My day started out ho hum, but with the amazing friendly service and great food, it made my day I left with my tummy and heart happy. This will probably be my new Sunday spot Appreciate Y'ALL!“

“Bomb 💣 Burgers 🍔, and friendly staff ❤️“

“We've been to the Burger Lounge in Sherman Oaks but last night we were meeting friends who live in Calabasas so Northridge felt like a great mid-point option. There were four of us. I'm an extremely picky eater!! With that said, Bella (Front of House) took my order and even repeated it back twice which included her reading from what she punched into the computer. When my order came to the table it was 100% inaccurate. Kareem (Shift Leader) was very apologetic and wanted to immediately take care of it, which I appreciated. But, I wanted to take it a step further. I wasn't upset but curious as to how this occurred as I knew Bella had inputted the order into the computer correctly. She & Kareem were uncertain as to why it happened. Bella kept apologizing and I learned she was new. I told Bella it was not her fault but she insisted on taking ownership and Kareem wanted to do whatever it took to make me happy. My career involves running a company and training employees to take responsibility and therefore expeditiously turning the situation around. It's all about recovery and between how Burger Lounge trains their staff and the type of genuine human beings that work there....Burger Lounge succeeds at elevating the dining experience! BTW, the food was fabulous and if you're going to add sugar to it, their shakes are FUNomenal. Kareem & Bella are definitely above & beyond employees and the others working there were all happy & helpful. This is the gold standard and a recipe that should be non- negotiable for any business. It was a gift that the error occurred as it showed us what an outstanding establishment Burger Lounge is with outstanding employees. Huge thank you to Kareem & Bella. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. You two, your team & Burger Lounge have the secret sauce!“

“Had lived across the alley from this place for awhile and finally checked it out! I got the French dip with truffle fries, and fried pickles! It was absolutely delicious 🙏🏼 The lady that worked there was super sweet too. I definitely recommend!“

“I do have a question, though. Can chili be shipped to Hawaii, so my Former Broworker, Tim Hawkins, can have a “Little taste of home?”“

“great food. and customer service. and they have a public rest room. Thank you habit burger grill“

“Excellent service and the habit never disappoints, has been a great addition to the neighborhood!“

“Everything here just great!“

“Still the best fast food burger out there even though a noticeable reduction in size and a small price increase has made it not such a great deal any longer. Still worth negotiating the parking and the lines though. Very friendly employees. Lots of greetings and smiles. They still need to steal the KFC French fry recipe...inNout fries are not very good in my opinion...for what that's worth! Still impressive how fast they get your food out considering how busy they always are!“

“Great experience today ordering and eating in. Jose was super friendly and checked in on our food after bringing it over to us. We were greeted by a very nice gentlemen, whose name I didn’t catch. He was washing the windows. Fantastic crew working here today.“

“Great hospitality!! In Van Nuys Ca…“

“Looking for a nice little burger joint in Burbank came across this place. the outside of this place look humble so we went in. Got to say the reviews are on point and the food is really good, we both got bacon cheeseburgers with fries which were cooked perfectly as well and on point. The staff is super nice I would definitely come back here again“

“I decided to stop by here to get a burger. It been a very long time since I last came here. I went with the bacon cheeseburger deal that they had that comes with fries and a drink. The inside of this place is very small like four booth and they also have outdoor seating. It took awhile for my food to get made. The burger was okay with nothing special to it, the fries were very plain so I think they forgot to add salt and the soda taste more flat.“

“Best burgers in LA... come here at least once a month“

“Two lanes for drive thru. Very very small parking lot to eat at outside patio.

Food: everything is amazing.

Ambiance: more of a summer time and fall spot to eat outside here in this spot.

Service: been here times. This spot usually is on point. Staff here is pretty consistent.“

“Love the burgers and sushi.“
