50 Best Burger Restaurants near Winnetka

“great food. best fries. old school“

“Food was good but I was the only customer there in the drivethrough, didn’t see anybody inside and my food still took forever. If it’s that bad being the only customer I can’t imagine the wait when there’s a lot of people. Food is always good quality at Habit though.“

“Very good buritto, server and the crew are very kind. 5/5 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice people work here. I went to the starbucks down the street from this restaurant and they were rude and didn't let me use the restroom. Therefore, I came here to use the restroom and surprisingly, they were so nice to open the door for me with a smile. I ended up buying my coffee from here instead. I also like their ice coffees.“

“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.“

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

“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“

““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.”“

“Try everything on the menu at least once. Then try it Animal Style. The look up the secret menus and try everything from there. Then you will know what you enjoy the most. #comeeat #foodandetc Food&Etc On All Platforms“

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

“Every thing is fresh and delicious 🤤 highly recommended“

“I love good places to eat and this place has my heart as in the #1place to have a burger. Tasty delicious is all I can say about the spicy smash burger I have never had such a treat eating a burger. And the customer service is top notch. As you walk in your greeted by a person who has the sweetest smile in the planet. KAREN is such a nice person and then the owner Larry and his son are such great guys who make you feel welcome every single time you come in.“

“Food is consistently excellent and the service is also great.“

“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!“

“Always a great experience and I’ve never had a bad meal. Everything I tried has been great, especially the potatoes wedges.“

“Our furbabies love the "pup meals" at In-n-Out. We went yesterday for our furbabies 12th birthday and had a HUGE order for their birthday party with family. Mia helped us out at the drive-thru. She saw our furbabies in the car and we told her it was their birthday and told her what we were doing. She was so amazing!! She was patient with us and our order. As we drove thru to pick up our food, she came to the window and said "hi, it’s me again" and handed us 1 of our bags, which was the food for the furbabies. Inside the bag, was a hand written note on a napkin that said "Happy Birthday". We were so touch that she went above and beyond to make our babies birthday special that we told the other employees that she needed a raise! One of our babies has a heart condition that he wasn’t suppose to be with us anymore so this gesture was so special and made our day!! Thank you again Mia!!!!!“

“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 😍🥰“

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

“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“

“Good service super clean friendly staff“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Bomb 💣 Burgers 🍔, and friendly staff ❤️“

“The best burgers ever I’ll rate them a 10/10“

“Had lived across the alley from this place for awhile and finally checked it out! I got the French dip with truffle fries, and fried pickles! It was absolutely delicious 🙏🏼 The lady that worked there was super sweet too. I definitely recommend!“

“I do have a question, though. Can chili be shipped to Hawaii, so my Former Broworker, Tim Hawkins, can have a “Little taste of home?”“

“Even if the environment and location are a turn off, the food was worth it. I had the double cheeseburger with chili cheese fries. You are handed a heavy plate of food. The burger was hefty and the fries plentiful.

I'd definitely do the burger again, but skip the fries.“

“In-N-Out Burger has a well earned reputation. It’s hard to beat a Double Double with extra onions. The set up at this location on Ventura Blvd in the Valley is pretty old school adding to its charm. Drive through lane or outdoor take out counter. No indoor dining room but picnic table area set up if you wish to eat on the grounds.“

“Great hospitality!! In Van Nuys Ca…“

“Two lanes for drive thru. Very very small parking lot to eat at outside patio.

Food: everything is amazing.

Ambiance: more of a summer time and fall spot to eat outside here in this spot.

Service: been here times. This spot usually is on point. Staff here is pretty consistent.“

“I decided to stop by here to get a burger. It been a very long time since I last came here. I went with the bacon cheeseburger deal that they had that comes with fries and a drink. The inside of this place is very small like four booth and they also have outdoor seating. It took awhile for my food to get made. The burger was okay with nothing special to it, the fries were very plain so I think they forgot to add salt and the soda taste more flat.“

“We've been to the Burger Lounge in Sherman Oaks but last night we were meeting friends who live in Calabasas so Northridge felt like a great mid-point option. There were four of us. I'm an extremely picky eater!! With that said, Bella (Front of House) took my order and even repeated it back twice which included her reading from what she punched into the computer. When my order came to the table it was 100% inaccurate. Kareem (Shift Leader) was very apologetic and wanted to immediately take care of it, which I appreciated. But, I wanted to take it a step further. I wasn't upset but curious as to how this occurred as I knew Bella had inputted the order into the computer correctly. She & Kareem were uncertain as to why it happened. Bella kept apologizing and I learned she was new. I told Bella it was not her fault but she insisted on taking ownership and Kareem wanted to do whatever it took to make me happy. My career involves running a company and training employees to take responsibility and therefore expeditiously turning the situation around. It's all about recovery and between how Burger Lounge trains their staff and the type of genuine human beings that work there....Burger Lounge succeeds at elevating the dining experience! BTW, the food was fabulous and if you're going to add sugar to it, their shakes are FUNomenal. Kareem & Bella are definitely above & beyond employees and the others working there were all happy & helpful. This is the gold standard and a recipe that should be non- negotiable for any business. It was a gift that the error occurred as it showed us what an outstanding establishment Burger Lounge is with outstanding employees. Huge thank you to Kareem & Bella. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. You two, your team & Burger Lounge have the secret sauce!“

“The Schnitzel was great! The breading was fabulous. The salad was wonderful and the corn was out of this world. All in all I had an amazing meal!!!“

“Whenever we come to L.A. we HAVE to have Tommy’s. It’s the best!!!!“

“I was so happy with the breakfast omelette I had. It was my favorite in Simi and most places I have been. There was a perfect amount of ingredients and the omelette was not dry like many places. Everything was great! I look forward to going back!!“

“Love the atmosphere of this comfortably casual bar. Ample outdoor seating provides the perfect spot to sip a beer or two relaxing in the sunshine. I don’t eat meat so I haven’t tried the burgers, which come highly recommended. The garlic parmesan fries are excellent and enough for 3 people. Sorry I can’t say the same for the cauliflower wings or pretzels with cheese sauce. But I had the best-poured beer of my life—a fresh Scrimshaw pilsner in a sparkling-clean glass. See attached video. Despite the venue’s name, they now offer cocktails as well as beer and wine.“

“Interesting thing about several local Carl's is I have seen several times that they don't have something. This visit and visits to a few other locations is soda machines out of one or more flavors. This time it was out of several including Coke and Cherry Coke. Other locations often stop serving some items in the evening even though they are Open Late.“

“Topanga Social has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Valley. We went to STK for dinner and had a fantastic time. The restaurant has a lively yet classy atmosphere that feels both modern and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works equally well for a special celebration or a casual night out.

The food at STK was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted like it was prepared with care, and portion sizes were just right. From start to finish, the quality really stood out. Service was just as impressive. Our server was attentive without hovering, answered all our questions, and kept everything moving at a great pace. Drinks, recommendations, timing—it all felt effortless, which made the evening that much more enjoyable.

After dinner, we went to the movie theatres at Topanga Social, and that was the perfect way to round out the night. The theatres were spotless, well-designed, and very comfortable. The reclining seats were a highlight, and the sound and screen quality were excellent. It was easy to relax and enjoy the movie without a single distraction.

What I love most about Topanga Social is that it combines everything in one place—great dining, entertainment, and a vibrant atmosphere. It feels like a destination rather than just a stop, and that makes it special. STK delivered on all fronts, and the theatres added an extra touch that made the whole evening memorable.

Five stars all the way—we’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing ambiance and great food! Happy to have this addition to the neighborhood!“

“Best 🍔 around! Come to the valley!“

“first time at Shake Shack I had the fried mushroom (vegetarian) burger stuffed with cheese. loved it . will order again. fries crispy. staff friendly. my boyfriend loved the cheese burger.“

“Love The Habit. The food is always fresh and tasty as well as reasonably priced ✌🏼“

“Food was great and tasty, and was completed in a timely manner. However, what really led me to make this review was the excellent customer service. Vanessa was so kind and patient with my order, she answered all my questions with a polite and positive attitude. She really made my experience a great one and can confidently say I will return. Thanks Vanessa !“

“Love their burgers onion rings and fries“

“Nothing beats the Original Tommy’s“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“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!!“

“First time going in, burger was good. Second time going, got a country fried steak and eggs and was not impressed at all. Orange juice is bottled and they need a better system of where to throw away food & place trays. I was so confused at first of what to do with my trash. I had to deduct a couple stars. Would need to try more items on the menu but not sure that I care to. Otherwise friendly staff and clean restaurant!“
