50 Best Burger Restaurants near Playa Vista

“I transport items all over the country for 3 years now trying so many food spots and this is still one of my favorite burger places. Juicy/ fresh/ well seasoned/ crispy/mouth watering. Have been here about 50x and always get minimum 2 burgers. Highly recommend.“

“We got the LA Dine week special and it was mouthwatering! The seafood salad starter as well as the Sweet Corn & Crespelle entree were amazing. Also, if you are adventurous, try the Garlic Knotini, a martini with - you guessed it - garlic in it ?“

“Great food first time being there!“

“Stopped by Trophies Burger Club for lunch and found the place pretty quiet, which made for a relaxed visit. The owner was friendly but not super helpful with recommendations — the kind of “everything’s good, depends what you like” response that doesn’t exactly steer you in any direction.

I went with the double Trophies Burger and a side of curly fries. The fries were excellent — crispy, well-seasoned, and just the right amount of indulgent. No complaints there. The burger itself was solid: fresh ingredients, good balance, and nicely cooked, though it didn’t quite reach that next-level wow factor I was hoping for.

Overall, a good lunch spot with quality food and a chill vibe — definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and craving a burger.“

“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“

“Ricas hamburguesas 😋y las papa tambien“

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

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“Had a burger at Pedroca's Burger and wow, just wow. Super chill place with cool vibes. The staff makes you feel like you're an old friend, and those burgers are legit delicious. The Raposão was unreal – juicy, flavorful, and all kinds of awesome. Seriously, you need to check this place out. It's my new go-to for burgers.“

“Came here cause it was close to the Greek Theatre and they had a special to who I went to go see (Djo) and it was sooo good. Theres a public parking right around the corner, the food was ready pretty quick, fresh seats outside, and delicious burger and curly fries. I’m coming here again if I’m ever in the area.“

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

“Ok burger if you like smash burgers. Good service. Meter parking is often hard to find.

The burgers taste like backyard burgers. The burgers are on the small side and have potato bread buns. Their fries aren’t that great. It’s very popular so expect a good 20 minute or so wait.

The crowd is lively and there’s great people watching. It’s a cool experience but a little on the expensive side.“

“excellent service. very rich“

“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.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“Best Burgers Ever!! Great Bartenders too!“

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

“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! 😬❤️😬“

“I ordered the classic one and.. what a burger! The meat was just as it has to be, it doesn’t need anything else, the bread feels just good. The fries were also perfect! Be sure to make the hamburger triple, it is quite small. Great hamburger“

“Lugar tranquilo para disfrutar de una muy buena hamburguesa 😋😋😋“

“Nice!!!“

“Best burgers 🍔 ever. Missed them.“

“Delicioso!!!!! Muy recomendado“

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

“I get why they're a beloved neighborhood hamburger stand - which is truly a dying breed these days. Menu is just innovative enough in the old school way - add a hot dog or pastrami to your burger, along with just a bit of counter seating, all outdoor, for vibes.“

“La verdad es un lugar muy bueno y me gusto la atención, fuimos a la playa y me dio por pasar a comer y dar una buelta a Hollywood con mi familia, no llevava ropa presentable y tenia hasta sandalias de playa, y la atención fue genial de un hombre asiático por lo cual dejé buena propina. no hay discriminación por vestimenta donde en otros lugares si lo hay y aunque los otros lugares vallan vestidos bien las personas sin dinero. la verdad pensé que me pondrían cada por ir bien playero jajaja pero no fue así, buen lugar.“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“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. Definitely recommend the chili cheese fries as well. The manager was friendly and welcoming! Thank you for your hospitality, quick eat, and delicious ice ice cream!“

“I recently stopped by Tam’s Burgers and had a solid overall experience. The menu is packed with variety—from classic burgers and fries to breakfast items, Mexican dishes, and even slushies. It’s a place where you can definitely satisfy a craving no matter what you’re in the mood for.

One of the standout positives is that they now accept EBT, which makes their food more accessible to everyone. The prices are reasonable considering the portions, most meals range from about $10 to $15. They also have combo options that include drinks, and the drink station is fully stocked with Pepsi products, frozen slushies, and soft-serve machines.

The interior is simple but clean, with a modern black tile floor and red booth seating. There’s plenty of space to sit and eat comfortably. The “Order Here” signage is clear, and there’s a solid system in place for taking orders.

Staff were efficient, though not overly friendly, which is fine, this place seems more about speed and quantity than sit-down service. Still, the food came out hot and fresh.

If you’re looking for a no-frills spot with a big menu and fast service, Tam’s gets the job done. It’s not gourmet, but it’s reliable comfort food at a good price.“

“I LOVE the burgers and tater tots here! I’ve been following them for several location moves and always recommend it anyone. Super delicious and my favorite cheat meal!“

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

“I love the delicious and tasty food. The staff is friendly, social and attentive. Service is fast and efficient. love them.“

“I went through the Drive Thru and the person in front of me paid for my order. I went ahead and paid for the person behind me. I’m wondering how many paid it forward today.“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“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.“

“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).“

“very good food and good service.“

“I stopped by HiHo Cheeseburger in Marina del Rey around 3 p.m. on a Saturday, that magical hour when parking is neither impossible nor easy. The restaurant shares a gated lot with REI, which kindly validates two hours.

Inside, the vibe was steady but calm. I ordered the HiHo Double and fries, which arrived in a leisurely fifteen minutes, a dignified wait for 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Wagyu. The burger, though smaller than an In-N-Out Double-Double, was excellent: melty cheese, slow-cooked onions, and crisp lettuce. The fries were fine, but McDonald’s and the BK Lounge can rest easy.

At $10.45, HiHo is in a higher price category than In-N-Out and Shakeshack, but of comparable quality of taste. Worth a visit, but not at the top of my LA/OC burger rotation.

Still a solid 4 stars“

“Perfect spot for our 20th anniversary breakfast! Mimosas on the beach is a perfect way to celebrate. Gabi was great and so was the California omelette.“

“Come here!!! It's a simple as that. If you love great food, mouth watering burgers, fantastic craft beer then this is your place.
We are both foodies and beer lovers and thought we'd give this a chance. It was so damn good we came back for a second night, which we never do on our travels.
Please come here and enjoy. The staff are amazing as well. Would highly recommend.“

“Came here early evening on a Friday to get some grub before a concert across at the Palladium. Plenty of space for seating, pretty empty at the time we were here though.

The honey butter chicken sandwich is very satisfying (even though it’s not the best looking sandwich out there lol) and has perfect crispy texture - I highly recommend!

The young gal w/ glasses who helped us at the counter and served our food was very, very courteous and sweet - thank you so much for your customer service!“

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

“Food was better than expected. We tried their grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, and everything was good! Even their drinks! Bathrooms were clean, environment was nice. Person helping/manager? In the front, didn’t seem happy, but I imagine when it gets busy, folks are focused and not as friendly. I wish we had a Habit in Houston.“

“Excellent food and highest recommendation! Francis was a great server! When I return back to Santa Monica I will return back here and try other items.“

“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“

“Incredible place. The hamburger patties are some of the best I’ve ever tasted.
I got a cocktail on a whim thinking “it’s a burger joint, how good could it possibly be?” but I was extremely pleasantly surprised.
They have a great happy hour, and other promotions.
I will be back!“

“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!“

“You’ll never know it’s vegan, and that’s the best part. These desserts are out of this world delicious.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“
