50 Best Burger Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Great food first time being there!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“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.“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

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

“Beautiful day to sit outside“

“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“

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

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“Nice!!!“

“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 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).“

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

“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.“

“🌱✨ Earle’s is such a great local spot for vegan and vegetarian food! The food is flavorful, fresh, and satisfying, with plenty of delicious plant-based options. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just looking for a great meal, Earle’s is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend! 👏🏾💚“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“The Monty classic cheese burger. Outstanding!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

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

“I’ve been coming here since they opened up and I can say they top all other smash burger spots in LA! Staff is always welcoming and amazing! They have plenty of options to choose from which is great! My personal favorite is a Philly beast with a side of fancy fries. If you are ever in the Hollywood area give them a try, will not disappoint!“

“Been waiting to try this Korean fried chicken place out. Went with a group of 4. Everyone agreed it was excellent, delicious spicy fried chicken. Prices were good for the quality and portion sizes. Everyone said they would come back - and bring their other friends. Great food option in the neighborhood.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Friendly and cleanliness, easy access“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Good good and great staff!“

“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!“

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