Was excited to try this spot as it's not too far from me and had great reviews. But was super disappointed with Love Hour. First, you pay $6 for parking. There's no street parking. Second, there was like three people ordering and our food took 15-20 minutes which I feel is way too long imo. I was still in high hopes that the burger itself would redeem everything, but it didn't lol. Tasted like a high school football game cheeseburger. Tasted like someone reheated the burger. I don't recommend :/

The burger was amazing. It was juicy and crispy as well as the sauce. Inside, it looked fun and lively. They have this photobooth you can take pictures with your friends for $7! Unfortunately, getting here was a bit of a hassle. Parking was terrible, they have a valet service that doesn't even valet your car.

I was as skeptical as you. And yes, I was blown away. Love Hour is deserving of the hype, deserves your dollars, and will leave you satisfied while you eat or remember the best burgers and hot dogs of your life. We went on a Thursday, late night. Ordered a double burger, hot dog, and honey fried sandwich with fries. Burger and dog were so dang good I want to cry. Beef was so crispy, the bun was perfectly packed and never fell apart, the home made sauce hits like a unicorn. And the hot dog? Let's just say it's what you dream ball park dogs are like. I was not crazy about the chicken sandwich. In absolute and relative terms it fell flat compared to what else is offered at the resto. Come here!!

One of the best smash burgers in LA! Super vibey spot in Ktown , with great drinks and fun vibes all around! The love hour sauce is CRAZY!! The onion rings were deeply fried and perfection with the burger. Can be really busy and loud, but that's what adds to the fun! They also host special events with music and pop-ups!!

Wildly overrated here. Burger starts at $7, and for that, you get a smashed burger (which is super-easy to make, easier than trying to balance temperature and internal cooking variances on a "normal" burger, and hey, the crispiness isn't a bug, it's a feature!) - that comes on a McDonald's like bun (less sweet, happily) and slice of cheese, and their proprietary dressing that's no better than French. The burger is far too salty (its predominant flavor), and it's saved by one thing: quite excellent pickles, crispy and real, and which gets this place its second star. Overall, marginally better than the Carl's Jr. across the street - but only marginally. If you want wine, it can be had yours, in the inside dive bar or on the street with a view of Western Ave., for only $16 per glass (only a dollar more than the elegant Cellar bar in Pasadena).

Just stumbled on the Burger spot. It is located behind Busam ice cream. Reasonably priced. My son had a double patty burger & I had the 9 piece chicken nuggets. He said burger was juicy & tasty. Love sauce was similar to Canes. I thought it was better. The nuggets & fries were perfectly crispy. This place is low key burger gem. I would totally come back.
The Love Hour Team was so cool, helpful, and just awesome.

I love Love Hour. It's a quaint neighborhood bar with good ambiance for a date or just to chill and watch a few games. They just got their full liquor license, gotta say, their signature cocktails are fire. The burgers are solid and at a really affordable price point.

Vibes is on a 10 here! Food is always on point, though the signature item here that's criminally underrated and smacking; are the chili cheese fries! Great portion, and the flavor is something that can't be beat. Great employees and bartenders in the house that have awesome service - come along for a good time, all the time!
