50 Best Burger Restaurants near Pacific Palisades

“This is a lovely cafe for lunch and/or coffee. There staff is very friendly and helpful accommodating our requests for additional salad dressing. However it closes at 3pm, at which time you can no longer refill your fountain drinks. The view and the ambiance is absolutely amazing. The outdoor seating areas are well spaced out and shaded. The Villa Burger is a good balance of gruyere cheese, beef patty, Arugula, onion jam and brioche bun. Three garlic fries are perfectly seasoned with garlic and parsley. The Market Salad with apple, quinoa and chicken is generous and well dressed with shallot vinaigrette. The prices are definitely 10-20% higher but the ambiance is worth it.“

“Everyone that works there is great! They greet me by name, a little chit-chat- it's a great neighborhood store. They have crammed in almost everything you might need at a last minute, but don't want to go to a grocery store for. We LOVE their hamburgers and wish they sold them all day and night! They have a great hidden wine corner, beer, mixers, liquor, dairy, snacks etc.“

“A nice little beach snack shack. Convenient but prices are ⬆️ . I expected some seating inside like most cafes offer. Just a couple of tables and uncomfortable chairs along with 2 concrete benches (that could use a power wash) outside in the sand. I got the veggie burger which was delicious for $10, which is exact same price as their deluxe bacon cheeseburger and turkey burger. I appreciate having a vegetarian option, which is unusual for a food stand vendor at the beach. Bring your own water. They charge $5 a bottle.

Vegetarian options: Veggie burger was very tasty! Limited vegetarian options for sandwiches.

Parking: $6 for all day. Parking charge until 8:30. Not sure if they close off the parking lot after 8:30.“

“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“

“excellent service. very rich“

“Always good. This time I went inside instead of waiting on the drive through. It took 25 minutes and while the line outside was very long, inside it wasn't as bad as I'd seen it before. It was mid afternoon on a Sunday. They're usually on top of scheduling for rush hours but this time not so much. I'll just have to time my snack time better...“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“absolutely delicious burgers and sauce. the customer service and people working there where really nice and great people“

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“Best smash burger in the South Bay.
Usually go with the classic, just had the hickory, it was amazing

The fries are out of this world, mainly because they are frying them in beef tallow.

Lemonade is delicious, and if you are dining in, they’ll even give you free refills! Top notch operation!“

“Nice place 😋😎 fast service 👌“

“Look.. there’s meh, good, damn good, and just wow. Bills is in the middle between damn good and just wow.

The food is just absolutely amazing. The burgers have this flavor you can’t find anywhere else.

Yes you have to wait a bit because the burgers are made from scratch, but it makes it that much better.

Easily one of the best burgers in Southern California“

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

“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 love how everyone is smiling and friendly. Food was great, restaurant was spotless and staff was great! Thank you 🌺“

“Delicioso!!!!! Muy recomendado“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“Best burger ever. Period.“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“After reading that Chowhound rated Hiho Burger as the best burger in Calif, I decided I wanted to try one for myself. And I must say the burger was delicious. But I loved the fries even more. And the vanilla shake, though small was truly flavorful. I enjoyed everything including the complimentary, help yourself water.“

“Was not sure what to expect here as we were just hungry and swung by. Friendly service: the woman who helped us offered recommendations and explained items on the menu. Atmosphere is nothing special, just a clean area with tables and chairs. We got the Korean Galbi burrito, which was good but had too many raw onions, and the sou garlic Korean chicken wings, which were as good as any we’ve had in the area! Fried potato balls were a unique addition to the meal. Would recommend them if you’re wanting a little treat, but they’re not essential. Pretty good prices for generous servings!“

“Great food . I do love a tasty burger“

“Delicious, a wonderful experience and loved the waitress!“

“Truck driver here. Was delivering nearby and saw this place was in walking distance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Fast service and courteous staff. Glad I tried it.“

“This is a fan favorite at work! So far one of the best burgers in the Valley, highly recommended!“

“Frankin It Up makes a really good burger! I have walked by a bunch of times and today finally was able to stop in for dinner. I had the Wag burger and spuds.

The burger was delicious and the spuds were great.

Jeff is super friendly as well.

Highly recommend. Also as a note, this is super close to Hinano Cafe which always gets rated as a great burger… Frankin It Up is a far better burger so if you’re in the area and can choose one, go with Frankin It Up.“

“very good food and good service.“

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

“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.“

“The food atmosphere was great the food is always fresh and tasty unfortunately the customer service was horrible I tried ordering the combo that was advertised on the window the door and on 3 signs on the counter that the store does not do combos the person female presenting was not kind she was day dreaming while I was ordering so I was asked to repeat I told her it’s im it’s hot but the interaction was not pleasant . I was highly w“

“Absolutely brilliant place. Fantastic staff (Katy) who is lovely. Brilliant atmosphere and well worth visiting for a drink when in Venice“

“Found this gem on our way to Ventura. Very very good! Fresh and great selection. Yummmm“

“Luis went above and beyond with my order that had no cheese on it another lady said that I had to have receipt even though she was present when I came a few days ago. I have communicated to headquarters that she attempted to down my day for a small mistake that could have been corrected today“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“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“

“excellent service. very rich“

“Food is delicious and service is awesome!! They just added chili cheese fries and it is good but I do think it needs some work :) I think instead of having beans in the fries, they should add more chili instead and I think instead of thin fries, the fries should be thick.“

“After a day at Playa Del Rey beach, we walked over to The Shack for a quick dinner. The burgers were so good (even the kids agreed)! The pineapple burger and its teriyaki sauce was amazing. Will definitely be back!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The Philly cheesesteak with fries/drink combo is one of my favorite lunches on the westside. Plenty of well seasoned meat & veggies, and the option to add lettuce/tomato/mayo - which I do. And the sandwich is very neatly wrapped in paper and cut in half - making it easy to eat. The crinkle cut fries are always perfectly cooked - with a crisp outside, but still fluffy inside, and then enhanced with seasoning (Lawry’s maybe?). Plus self-serve Coke fountain beverages (a sign says only 1 refill, but they don’t seem to be stingy with this).

They also have teriyaki bowls and burgers - but I haven’t tried those yet.

They have a GREAT selection of bottled & canned sodas/drinks, including Jarritos, Jones, Boylan, and Snapple - big winners!

The inside is dated and worn…and it’s perfect!
It’s been here since 1957, and appears to be family owned & operated.
This place is THE BEST - go and support - you’ll be glad you did.“

“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!“

“Bomb 💣 Burgers 🍔, and friendly staff ❤️“

“Est. Clean. Very organized. Food was hot and delicious. Pop rock shake was amazing. Nephew gave it a 10/10.“

“Didn’t expect to like this place as much as I did, but it really surprised me. The food has this mix of American and Japanese flavors that just works, and now I’m lowkey trying to figure out how they pull it off. Every sauce we tried had its own thing going on—nothing felt repetitive or boring. Even the dessert caught me off guard. The chocolate avocado shake sounded unusual, but it actually worked really well. Being able to enjoy all of that with a beer while watching Thursday night football just made the whole experience better. And shoutout to Chef Carlos—you can tell there’s some real creativity behind the menu.“

“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“

“Love the burgers and sushi.“

“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“

“Service was awesome! Burgers were tasty and juicy but small. Overall good food and even better service.“

“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.“
