50 Best Burger Restaurants near Lake Balboa

“Believe it or not this location is a hidden gem. The lady who works here is so nice and gives you very good service. They have burgers, beerlf, turkey patties, chicken, and impossible burgers. There shakes and buffalo are good too. They even have vegan burgers and vegan milkshakes. The lemonade and watermelon strawberry lemonade are made fresh. The booths themselves could uses a little TLC but everything is kept very clean. They are also right around the corner from Sky Zone if you need to grab a quick bite before or after some bounce time. I also like that they are open late. There is also a kids menu.“

“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.“

“excellent service. very rich“

“This use to be one of my favorite locations. The service is fast, and the cashiers are always nice and professional. It’s also a very safe location but not a lot of places to eat outside like other locations. Overall it’s still a good clear restaurant with fresh food.“

“Yummy food. Always our stops all the way from Chicago“

“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!“

“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).“

“We are visiting town from Texas and ran across Irvs burgers in Balboa. Service was friendly and quick. Breakfast burritos was perfect and the patty melt was amazing.

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.“

“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 😍🥰“

I was highly w“

“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!“

“Clean, consistent, and easily the best Shake Shack I’ve been to in LA. Fresh food, quick service, and reliable every time.

This Ventura Blvd location has been the most consistent Shake Shack experience for me. I’ve been to Downtown LA and West Hollywood and those can feel a little hit or miss, but this one always delivers. The ShackBurger was fresh and balanced. Crinkle-cut fries were hot and crispy, and the order came out quickly.

Parking can be a little chaotic during lunch, so keep an eye out so you don’t miss it. There is parking in the back on the opposite side of the street behind the restaurant. It does a lot of DoorDash and pickup traffic, but it never feels overwhelmingly busy inside. Space is clean, service is efficient, and overall quality control here feels stronger than other locations.

Pro tips:
• Watch carefully for parking during peak lunch hours
• Use the rear lot across the street if front spots are full
• This location feels fresher and more consistent than others in LA“

“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“

“Everything here just great!“

“This place is a hidden gem. Delicious fresh made food from scratch. They even grind their own meat here. I got the fish sandwich and my bf got the AF burger and both were delicious. The owner is super kind. They have been here for 2 years. We came on a Saturday right at lunch time and it was pretty quiet. If you want delicious chicken sandwiches, burgers and more definitely come try this place.“

“I have been living in Panorama City for many many years .....The Best Philly cheese 🧀 Steak sandwich 🥪 😋 👌 😍 🙌 💯 🥪 😋 👌 😍 🙌 💯 🥪 😋 👌 plus you really neeeeeeeeeeds to try the Hamburgers 🍔...
You are really going to enjoy a good Meal .....
Plus the prices are good ...Bring The Family and friends.....Parking is ok ....
1 of Favorites for many many years.....“

“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!“

“Got myself the pastrami burger combo with a chili fries upgrade. No 2 small business burger joints are the same, this spot is a top dog in my books. The orange bang was like the cherry on top! Definitely my new go to spot when Im craving a burger... Don't forget the yellow peppers! 🥵“

“Love the burgers and sushi.“

“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.“

“The Schnitzel was great! The breading was fabulous. The salad was wonderful and the corn was out of this world. All in all I had an amazing meal!!!“

“Best Burger in L.A. PERIOD!!! Fat burger is everything a Burger should be!!!“
