50 Best Burger Restaurants near Valley Glen

“THIS!!!! Is the place!!!! Bartenders are amazing here (shoutout Rocky and Lindsey!) Food is INCREDIBLE here. Idk where to begin??? Must gets: fries (fresh!!!!) onion rings (crispy and seem home made!!!) mozz sticks and sliders were fantastic as well. I’ll be back to try the most popular fish n chips. We ate and drank (& sang!) our way through a very fun karaoke Sunday night hosted by Monty who was a blast!! Looking forward to trivia Mondays starting here in August!!“

“I just tried 170 Burger for the first time, and it honestly tasted phenomenal! I had their Carpool Burger, while my girlfriend had their 170 Burger, and we were both impressed. The fries were also amazing. The staff was extremely friendly as well. We will come back for sure!“

“To be honest, I can’t say much about the rest of the staff, they were nice but also about what you’d typically expect from a fast food experience. But Marco? He completely changed my outlook.

From the moment I interacted with him, Marco was courteous, professional, and efficient, everything you hope for, but rarely get in a fast-food restaurant. Then I sat down with my meal… and I was shocked. The food was neatly prepared, delicious, and hot, it honestly made me forget I was even in a fast food restaurant for a moment. Major props to the cook! It was clear that whoever made the food didn’t just go through the motions, they put heart into it. So thank you for that.

What really stood out, though, was how Marco treated everyone. I overheard him help another guest who had a language barrier, and he showed them the same respect and professionalism he showed me. That kind of consistent kindness is rare, and it deserves recognition.

Marco is a great example of what good service should look like, not just for customers, but for fellow team members too. Jack in the Box is lucky to have him.

Thank you, Marco. You made a regular visit feel exceptional“

“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!!!“

“This use to be one of my favorite locations. The service is fast, and the cashiers are always nice and professional. It’s also a very safe location but not a lot of places to eat outside like other locations. Overall it’s still a good clear restaurant with fresh food.“

“Amazing location, very small but overall a good spot if your looking to grab a quick bite in the afternoon. Burgers are very delicious I had the classic Goldburger! The people behind the register are probably the kindest food workers I’ve ever met haha! Would definitely recommend.“

“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“

“Classic American diner & great car-themed events. There aren’t too many places like this left!“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

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

“This is hands down THE BEST BURGER JOINT in la proper. It’s beyond 5 stars. Super delicious burgers and fries and their chicken sandwich is also straight ??????“

“Burgers are so good. I get mine extra toasted and it just melts in my mouth. The staff is friendly. I recommend you get a table fast if you see it open!“

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

“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 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.“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“La calidad en su servicio hace la diferencia, la comida se sirve caliente con un excelente gusto y sabor ( solo recomendaría unas butacas más grandes y acolchonadas para familias numerosas ) en lo demás los felicito“

“Delicious. We had 3 different burgers and they didn't disappoint. it was my best burger yet.“

““I really love In-N-Out — if I ever feel like having fast food, it’s always my top choice. I enjoy the flavor of the beef, the grilled onions are super tasty, and their special sauce is amazing. I also like their fries and the peppers they serve on the side.”“

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“Every thing is fresh and delicious 🤤 highly recommended“

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

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“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“

“Absolutely one of the best In-N-Out locations I've visited! The burgers and fries were outstanding, fresh, and flavorful—so good, it made me return literally the next day. The staff is always exceptionally friendly and efficient, even when the place is packed. The consistently long line of cars outside says it all: people know quality when they taste it. If you're looking for the perfect In-N-Out experience, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!“

“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).“

“Excelente servicio buena comida recomendado“

“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.“

“This place is super great! I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid with my parents and now that I’m a parent myself I bring my kids here. The staff is super friendly and easy going. The food still taste great from there huge burgers to their asada fries and tacos 🌮 and their food is always filling so just 1 combo is enough to make you feel like your going into a food coma. I love this place and the staff and I recommend it to anyone here in the valley 😍🥰“

“When you are in California and you’re hungry for something fast delicious and affordable, In N Out is the place to be. If you are adventurous try your burger animal style, better yet, make your fries animal style. You can also request protein style or with ketchup & mustard. Make it a double double and add a shake or two… now you’re eating Cali style. Peace & love“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“I hadn’t eaten here in 30 years and it’s still as I remember from when I was a kid“

“excellent service. very rich“

“Good good and great staff!“

“I’m a return customer. Love the shrimp fried rice, beef low mein, and donuts. My girlfriend loves the chicken teriyaki. The donuts melt in your mouth and the food is always hot and fresh. Definitely recommend. Terrific customer service too! The woman at the front is always so sweet. Don’t sleep on on Twin Castle.“

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

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

“The smash burger here is flavorful, with a crisp sear and well-balanced toppings, and the fries are reliably satisfying. The fry sauce is a standout, adding an extra layer of richness that complements the sides. On execution, the kitchen delivers.

The problem is the price. Portions are modest, yet the cost is high for what you get. Smash burgers are meant to be straightforward and satisfying, but here the price far outweighs the portion and experience. While the flavor and sides are commendable, diners are left feeling they’ve overpaid for what is essentially dressed up fast food.“

“Excellent service. I ordered over the counter. Got 2 number 2s for my Sister. She was happy. Thanks !!“

“Friendly and cleanliness, easy access“

“I walk my dog past this place every day. I had the pleasure of sampling the fare there when it was Peco Bills (great BBQ sandwiches, btw). I eagerly awaited the grand opening of OG Smashburger because I love a good burger! This place does not disappoint. Make no mistake, they are not your average burger joint. No frills, no fancy, catchy titles for ordering, just quality you can taste at a price that won’t leave you wondering what happened. I ordered the OG fries because I’ve never had a burger served bunless and on top of my fries: perfectly seasoned, crispy shoestring fries, grilled onions, a hamburger patty crisped at the edges(!!!), topped with melty cheese, OG sauce, and three large deli pickle slices. They should rename that particular item OMG fries, because that was the first thing I uttered once I could speak. Marry that with covered patio sets to sit and enjoy in a relatively quiet neighborhood with a view of the Griffith Park Hills and what you have is a win-win-win situation. My order was ready in about 10 minutes, fresh and hot. The guys (I’m sorry I didn’t get their names) were very cordial and helpful. They also play music while you dine, and promptly turn it off whenever you need something or someone approaches to order. Very professional. Also, they have an awning that sprays a wonderfully cooling mist in hot weather while you wait your turn to order. 10 out 10 recommend!“

“I love this place. The first thing I wanna talk about is the team. They are absolutely amazing. I’ve been in there twice this week and I cannot stress you how friendly the staff is. How helpful they are with all the questions and requests that my wife and I had. There was no request that was too big. The entire time we waited for our food I watched the gentleman at the front counter, engage with customer after customer with the same respect and helpfulness. The food is super fresh. The atmosphere is great and the price is reasonable. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven’t. Try the unique sodas from the fountain. They are amazing. The root beer was one of the best I ever tasted.“

“Enjoyed our birthday brunch for Dad's 83rd Birthday. Great food, quick service. Shout out to our wonderfully patient server, Brianna! 11/2/25“
