I have met A LOT of lettuce-wrapped burgers in my day and omg I think this is the very best one!! Even though this is a casual burger joint, everything is incredibly high-end. My family and I could taste the care and artistry that was put into our meals. The burgers are meticulously made, with fresh beef that is ground in-house. When I was ordering, I didn't realize what a big deal this would be, but after the first bite, I completely understood. The sauces are also delightful! I ordered one of each to try. I think the tarragon was my favorite because it's a unique flavor that I haven't seen anywhere else. Other highlights - one of the loaded fries had a great sautéed mushroom on it. Oh and the salad was so fresh! My whole thing is, I judge all food based on how the vegetables are and I respect the quality here. The owner and chef was very kind. He shared some of the founding story about his passion for fresh and unique flavors and it always makes me so happy to hear these kind of stories. My current goal in life as a responsible citizen is to exclusively spend my time and money at businesses that have a big heart and high quality, and it always makes my day to have a chat like this. What an absolute gem of a spot! I know there's no reason to come to the Sherman Oaks Galleria anymore but is now my reason to do so! PS - they also somehow have delicious coffee here??? I was absolutely not expecting a cafe quality espresso at a burger place, but what a nice surprise! read more

OMG! This place serves amazing food! I'm stuffed right now :) Ordered the AF Chicken Sandwich. It was HUGE! Bun couldn't hold it in a good way! Loved it! So good! Comes with fries. I upgraded them to Mushroom Truffle Crème fries. What a REVELATION Outstanding! Didn't need to but I wanted to try the Gochujang Mac & Cheese. WOW! Incredibly delicious I'm not kidding. I devoured all of it! Feel like I just had 2 plates of Thanksgiving dinner! The owner is so sweet and lovely! Staff is hardworking and friendly too! Such an awesome spot! Coming back for the truffle burger and rib sandwich! Two thumbs up! read more

Just a small restaurant with BIG FLAVORS!!! Went there for the first time this evening and I was so impressed!! We had the AF Burger and the BBQ Pork sandwich, both were really delicious, but the pork was amazing!! I will definitely have it again!! It looks like most of their business is to go and food delivery, but we ate in the restaurant and was able to talk with the staff who were so knowledgeable and friendly. A great choice for freshly made and delicious food at a reasonable price. read more

Food was a 10/10 and the service was amazing. For my first time coming here I would definitely come back again. My friends have been here a few times and love the food and service every time. Would recommend! read more

I love having no expectations and being surprised beyond belief. This little place in Sherman Oaks Galleria is a gem!! Unassuming from outside but warm and welcoming inside. I ordered the lunch special burger fries and drink and it was incredible. It was served to me beautifully arranged by a smiling face. It's the best burger I've had in years., This mall has lost many restaurants and stores I'm hoping everyone finds this place so they stick around. read more

Most delicious burger I ever head. Juicy, saucey, flavorful, tender and most importantly patty is made from scratch daily. Believe it or not my 10 year-old never tried a burger in his life, but he devoured this one. We tried the AF Burger. read more

My first visit to Almost Famous was a disappointment. The service was just OK, the prices felt high, and the food was not very good. I ordered a Smashburger, which was decent, but I came with a group of five and everyone else was unhappy with their meals. Their food did not look appetizing or they could not finish it. Two friends ordered the chicken sandwich, took one bite, and stopped because they said it did not taste good. It made the whole experience awkward since we were all sitting there with food no one wanted to eat. On the positive side, the fries were pretty good and we all ended up eating those. The location is convenient because it is inside the Galleria, so if you are already there for a movie and have no other options, it might work. Just do not come if you are in a hurry because the food took a long time to arrive. read more

People, this place looks like a little hole in the wall take out. Don't be fooled. This place is -driven. They sell the best smash burgers in LA !!!! And the owner is a wonderful warm and welcoming person. Also, the people who work there. Sorry, no photos . I forgot all about my phone while I was eating there. read more

Came in for dinner after a movie! Staff was friendly and made wonderful menu recommendations! We ordered their Truffle Burger and the Fried Fish (cod) Sandwich! Both were delicious, but the Truffle Burger definitely reigns supreme. The patties are freshly ground in house and the payoff in flavor is well worth the effort! I will say that if you are thinking about ordering the Fish Sandwich, opt for the sauce on the side! The fish was cooked great, but the sauce just ended up drowning it. read more

It's been a few months since they opened, and it's getting harder to excuse their staff. They're a burger joint that can't cook burgers consistently. It's been months, and it's not that hard to make a decent burger. I make burgers at home and patties from scratch. It's fresh, more flavorful, cheaper and takes less time. If Gordon came by, he'd probably leave just as quickly. Sometimes the patties are burnt on the outside yet raw on the inside. They take forever to cook, which tells me they're mostly likely cooking frozen patties on high heat. While I prefer fresh patties, I don't mind if a fast food joint wants to use frozen patties. I do mind that they're still inconsistent. It's been months of poor feedback, but the cooks haven't figured out how to cook a simple patty. The only food I might recommend from their menu wouldn't be their burgers. I really wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt because they were new, but their lack of improvement tells me they don't care about serving good food. read more

I ordered online for pickup. Online says ready in 15 minutes. I got there and said I was there to pickup an online order. The cook was shocked. She hurried over to an iPad and found my order. She never saw it, so they never made our order. "Give me 5 minutes." I said, okay. I knew it wouldn't be 5 minutes. I've been here once before. It takes a long time to get your order. That's why I ordered online. As I walked outside, an employee walked in past me and asked if she could help me. I explained. "Do you still want your order? Can you wait?" "I paid $50 for it, yes, I want my order." "Okay, give me 10 minutes." "The other lady said 5 minutes." "Okay, 5 minutes." They know how long it takes to prepare an order, so this is terrible customer service. Set expectations. Don't tell me 5 minutes and take 20. Tell me 20 minutes and do it in 15. I waited at a table outside with my Mom for our order. I watched a walk-in customer order and get her food and leave before our order was ready. Then I got an email telling me the order was ready. I walked in. The cook said, "It's ready." I waited a few minutes, but it clearly wasn't ready. So I went back outside and sat down. Finally, well after 20 minutes, I saw the employee packing a bag and walked in. She apologized and said, "The iPad didn't ding, so she didn't know." How is that my problem??? I have no control over their internal processes. I placed an order online, paid for it, figure out how to get my order and make the food. She made no attempt to do anything to account for the time we wasted. So I said, "You could give us a cookie for this long wait." So she gave me a cookie. The food was delicious, but this is amateur hour. read more

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 so kind and convinced me to try their homemade tartar sauce even though u told her I don't like mayonnaise or creamy sauces and I'm so glad I did, it was delicious. 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. read more

Have been here several times with no issues until today. Today I placed an online order for pickup, went into the location in Sherman Oaks to pick up and they said I had ordered twice. I explained that this must have been a system glitch because I did NOT order twice and asked if it would be possible to get a refund for the second order, as i noticed my card had been charged twice. They said there was nothing they could do about it and the owner would not give me a refund either. Absolutely ridiculous. Will not be going back again. read more

Welp: where to begin.... I ordered curbside pick up at 12:30PM.... I call the restaurant and I make about 4 loops around the building trying to find the area for pickup... which they gave terrible instructions.... I parked illegally on Sepulveda and run into the restaurant only for them to say "we didn't see your whole order so we are making it now" granted we are now at min 40 since I placed my order....I find it funny-it was a 100 dollar order and you made 2 burgers.... Nobody thought-"might be missing something" So I then go to move my car-finally find out where the pickup location is... call them and say I'm waiting and they actually have the nerve to ask me to go back into the store to pick up my food....when I asked for curbside... Got my food after an HOUR... no sorry-nothing. The burger and fries they did cook prior to finishing my order-were soggy and cold cause they sat for so long... I ordered a Dubai cookie too- and guess what-they gave me 2 cookies (thanks BUT)-none of those where "Dubai chocolate" Won't be going back... this really ruined my whole day. read more

Omg this place has THE BEST fried chicken sandwich ever! You can taste that they marinated it fresh overnight AND made the buns fresh in the morning.

We came and tried their AF chicken sandwich with fries and two can drinks. The sandwich was in a weird spot. It wasn't bad but I can't say it was good. It had some seasoning but not much flavor if that makes sense. Pros: We received good customer service. The cashier was very accommodating. Cons: Fries were soggy and unseasoned Prices are way to high around $43 after taxes and fees They charge a fee to use your card. BIG no no no read more

Super fresh and delicious food! It was our first time here and will not be the last. They were kind enough to split the kid's burger in half for our children, and made the spicy Mac n cheese a little less spicy so our children could eat it as well. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The AF burger was delicious, and the fries and onion rings were super crispy! Highly recommend! Thank you for making our first experience here such a positive one! read more

I would first like to state that this was the greatest burger that I have ever ever had in a very, very long time and that's no disrespect to my mother or grandmother because they make a great burger, but if you're in the area and you need a burger fix this is the place you need to go. The store was very clean. The energy was very great in there Carmen I have to say your service was top-tier and I sincerely appreciate the love that you put into my service and I sincerely appreciate chef Allen's God likes spatula abilities. This place was unexpected and is definitely a try if I have to say so myself I'm not even a Yelp reviewer, but I had to write a review for this the world must know come get you an almost famous burger. Please don't miss the opportunity thank you guys so much so happy that I had to charge my Tesla here. See you guys soon. I'll definitely be bringing the wife and kids here. read more

Almost Famous - Breakfast burrito - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. It was very impersonal, unless you were a regular and had a familiar face. It began with a slight, cursory greeting when I walked in, after which I placed my order at the kiosk. Then, I waited, and waited, for a simple burger and fries. Others came in, obviously regulars, placed and received their meals. Finally I asked if my order was ready, and the "attendant" nervously boxed my order and handed it to me. I haven't been to the Galleria in ages. I was there on business and was hungry for something quick. The food was worth the wait, but it won't be a place I recommend for folks visiting the city, longing to experience the charm of Sherman Oaks. It just wasn't there. read more

So, I almost didn't make it to this place because of several negative reviews. However, my business partner insisted that Almost Famous has some of the most delicious, gourmet burgers in town. Well, the experience exceeded expectations. We both ordered Black Truffle Burgers, and oh boy, were they delicious! I've been cooking my entire life, and I know when I stumble on fresh, authentic food. Here's what was most impressive: a generous meat patty perfectly cooked (sides were NOT burned) that melted in your mouth, succulent mushrooms, delicious cheese oozing over crispy micro French fries, all inside brioche buns. I also learned that the restaurant buys their own fresh meat and grinds it on the spot, which makes all the difference compared to other restaurants that claim to prepare gourmet burgers. Nothing frozen - impressive! Another very pleasant element of this establishment were the sweet, wonderful women working behind the counter and cooking. We were greeted and cared for as if we were regulars of years. This was undoubtedly one of the best burger experiences of late. We will be returning here soon! read more

Almost Famous seriously impressed me. The burgers were incredible, made with clearly high quality meat that was unbelievably tender and juicy, unlike any burger I have had before. Every bite tasted fresh and well thought out. The sauces were full of flavor, and while they were great as is, I would have loved them a little thinner so I could drizzle more over the burger. What really tied everything together was the outstanding service, which made the whole experience even better. I will definitely be coming back. read more

The service was ok. Until I asked the cashier to validate my parking and she swore she validated when I told her she didn't. When I was leaving the ticket said I owed $11.60 so I had to go back and demand she validate my parking.. now on to the food. The smash burger was ok not worth the price. The Bbq rib sandwich was the best thing. It was worth the asking price of Close to $20 with fries. The chicken sandwich was horrendous. We had to send it back and ask for something else. The cashier was cool with it and gave us another bbq rib sandwich. The mac and cheese was not tasty at all swapped it out for the cookie and the cookie was disgusting as well. Probably just a cultural thing with the pastry. I would recommend the bbq rib sandwich but anything else is ‍. They need to recreate that chicken sandwich or it will be their downfall.. read more

I don't know what the bad reviews are talking about. As you can see by my reviews, I'm a burger lover. First, the Smashburger, I can say crispy edges! Good quality meat and a great bun. And you can tell by the picture of the juicy burger, it was juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries were amazing and had an addicting taste and a drink selection is international, which I appreciate the staff wasn't kiss your bum, but they're really nice to me overall a wonderful experience. read more

I never leave reviews but for this nasty place, I will make time for.... The only good thing that came from eating here was the lady at the register was sweet. Other than that I must say this chicken sandwich was probably the worse chicken sandwich I have ever eaten in my entire life. NO JOKE, my stomach was instantly nauseous. Chicken was slimy and chewy, breading was falling apart and the Fries were incredibly salty! I would eat anywhere else but here! Like anywhere else, I'd rather go to Starbucks and eat their microwaved food before ever stepping foot in this place again. Save your money and the stomach ache, Thank me later! read more

Came by here today and loved it. Burger was cooked well, buns were soft and the lady working the register was really nice.

I spent over $20 on a burger and fries and they wouldn't validate?? So LAME!!!!! And the burger was sooo mid I do not recommend at all :(
