50 Best Burger Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Great food first time being there!“

“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.“

“I can't say enough good things about Jeff's gourmet. The food is fresh, well prepared, tasty, generous portions, reasonably priced for L.A. - Fast deliveries and always care to include napkins and forks. Really a wonderful restaurant. Thank you“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“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“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“Always delicious and been since my childhood!!!“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“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.“

“biscuits “sent from heaven” Keyshia Cole voice Stopped by John O’Groats for some pre archery lesson fuel. Off rip, I knew it was gonna be bomb because my boyfriend actually has great taste and recommended it. I mean why would I date him otherwise? But I still had to be the one to taste it to believe it. Those biscuits put them on the MAP! I had lost faith in biscuits & gravy in this city. I have been let down time and time again because it was so weak. But these gave me hope for the future 🥹 I could see this place being my breakfast new normal. So if you ever want to stop by there, hit me up beforehand and we can brunch together🫶🏼🍽️ this is the type of place I would have FOMO over“

“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!“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

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

“I’ve been eating here for years now. The vegan options are always delicious, the service is fast, and the establishment is clean and friendly. They always have positive customer service. Just a great, welcoming, place to eat with yummy food. 5 stars all the way.“

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

“Nice!!!“

“I'm a big fan of Burger she Wrote. One of my top 5 places for burgers in LA and if your in town a must try. I'm looking forward to new location opening. But there is some major competition around the corner at Marathon just a block down the street that is always packed. Then NADC burger just opened up and that's hands down the best burger in LA. Hopefully Burger she Wrote is set on meeting the competition and the grilled cheese burger looks like a step in the right direction.“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“Solid burgers and hot dogs. Very straightforward and friendly staff and owner. They get it done. Onion rings and a burger with an orange bang. That’s my order. 16 bucks and the rest for tip.

I’m here once a week. But this week I was here three times.“

“I was comparing several companies for a charcuterie board for a Christmas dinner and decided on Marvelous Creations - and it was the perfect choice. The service was excellent, and the board was beautifully crafted. The cheeses and meats were fresh and delicious, and delivery was seamless and right on time. My guests absolutely loved it! I highly recommend Marvelous Creations for anyone looking for a stunning and delicious charcuterie board for any gathering.“

“First, love the vibe! Second, the food was flavorful :)- we really enjoyed the cheeseburger, crispy chicken sandwich, and french fries. Last, the frozen margaritas were a hidden gem! Food took awhile to receive but it was totally worth the wait.
We will be back soon! Thank you Glory Burger“

“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“

“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).“

“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!“

“This was my first time trying Patty Boys, and it definitely won’t be my last. The smash burger was incredibly fresh, the Cajun fries were perfectly seasoned, and everything tasted amazing. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and took the time to explain the menu. The restaurant was spotless and had a great atmosphere. Easily my new favorite burger spot. Highly recommend!“

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

“Everything was great. Except this was the smallest burger I think I’ve had in LA. It would be considered a fries salad combo w a side of a burger for $19. Bottled water included. … by the vibe of it tho the Korean food prolly smackin.“

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

“The Apple Pan is one of those places that just gets it right. Great burgers, zero fuss and the same old-school vibe that’s kept people coming back for decades. Grab a burger, save room for pie, and you’ll understand why it’s an LA classic.“

“10/10 🔥 I had the over loaded Fry's. Bomb I do recommend this place. And I will be coming back free parking for 2 hrs under the village. Service was also good they didn't take long at all to give me my order. Please give a try“

“Tiny place. They really pack in the tables inside, & everybody's fighting to get one to enjoy the AC instead of baking in the sun. Just enough tables to sit a couple people inside. 4 orders ahead of me once they opened, so everybody was waiting to get here. Took about 9 minutes to get my order in. Took roughly 15 minutes from the first person who ordered to get their's after I had ordered. Another 2 minutes for the people before me to get theirs. Another minute for mine. It was starting to crowd up so I went upstairs to eat at the metal tables they have hanging from the rails.“

“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 😞 😡😡“

“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.“

“Incredible Gastronomic Experience Definitely my new go to whenever possible ❤️❤️❤️“

“Everything was delicious, we had the bibimbap bowl, pork spicy bowl, and a single burger. I really enjoyed how flavorful the meat was in each bowl, and how hot and fresh everything was when it came out. The service was super fast and friendly as well. The cheeseburger and fries were also very good, I loved how thick the patty and fries were!“

“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.“

“Friendly and cleanliness, easy access“

“First time visiting Ray’s on the River, and it definitely won’t be my last. The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and the food truly stood out. I had a steak that was probably one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. An all-around fantastic experience, and I’m already looking forward to going back.“

“I love this place! We had a very small wedding party on the back patio last month, and it was beautiful. Cocktails were fun, we had great wine, and the food - especially the fries, and the olives! and the steak for two, which we ordered for the table - was delicious :) Also the whole staff was warm and welcoming, and made the whole thing even more fun. It couldn’t have been more perfect.“

“Beautiful day to sit outside“

“The burgers are good it live up to the hype😁I'm gonna try the Grandma Turkey burger later yay yayl“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“This review is long over due. Honestly this place is nothing without Stephen. We have over the last almost three years been coming here for the wine. The monthly wine events are nothing short of a mini vacation with the journey through the region Stephen takes you on. He is brilliant in his craft, very knowledgeable and welcomes everyone with a warm smile. Someone we look forward to seeing along side a glass of wine we always know we will want to take home. Ask for Stephen and enjoy a glass of wine. Get the burger ❤“

“We're frim Canada and we find everything super expensive in LA. This place was on the higher end for us as well but we got a really solid amount of food! Felt like a bargain for what we've been spending so far.

Unreal burgers!! The fries with the burger on top are great too. Thanks guys!“

“Good good and great staff!“

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