    We both did the house combo burger fries and drink. Well I got the onion rings not fries. This place is couple blocks from beach and it's a locals favorite. This place is Military friendly.

    Was walking around Santa Monica after a TikTok creator event and was hungryyyyyy!!!! I decided to stop here because I was drawn into their sale of their Turkey Burger and it was like $7. I ordered me a side of Fred's with a Dairy Free cookies n creme shake and this meal was so delicious!!!! The turkey burger was juicy and was a joy to eat. The fries added the perfect little saltiness and is the perfect companion to eat a burger with. But the cookies n crème milkshake really sold it for me, it was thick and creamy and a good way to wash down the food I ate. I left feeling full and satisfied and would love to come back Gaian someday! The ambience was nice and modern and plenty of seating, service was quick.

    Burger was FANTASTIC!! Wasn't a huge fan of the protein bowl. Restroom needed some attention and cleaning.

    I tried the classic burger and the pork sandwich and I was disappointed in both. The patties on both sandwiches were pretty bland with no flavor at all. It seems Burger Lounge relies on the toppings to make the sandwich flavorful but we all know a good burger is well seasoned and the toppings complement the sandwich, making it even better. Overall the burger and pork sandwich were uneventful.

    Wow super Yelp special when you check in you get $2 off!! Came in to get my happy hour 1/2 off grilled chicken sandwich. Manager and staff was super friendly. It's clean here and quiet ambiance. It's right across from the AMC theatres in case you feel like a burger.

    Just popped in and got the classic burger. I had the munchies and it was really good. I didn't really look around all that much but the surface was good and the ambience was clean and slick. I don't know if I've go back. It really hit the spot late night and the service was quick too.

    Wow. I just finished my lunch and had to come on here to brag about how amazing it was. I'm a vegetarian and always looking for a good veggie burger. I don't do Impossible or Beyond Meat because I don't like meat flavors and genuinely enjoy a creative veggie patty. I was Yelping around to find a good local veggie burger and landed on this. They also have a meat substitute if that's your jam. Honestly, I'm not sure what they DON'T have. Their menu is pretty loaded. I ordered the Ancient Grain burger with vegan cheese, no 1000 island and added mustard. I added jalapeños, too, and they didn't skimp. WOW. What a delish burger. I wouldn't change a thing and I'm about to call them bc I want to know what vegan cheese they use because it was melty and some of the best I've had. Ordered on the app for pickup and used the restroom. Clean, spacious, with inside and outside seating. Great lunch spot or casual dinner spot. Would 10/10 order again.

    We saw the huge poster advertising the truffle Swiss burger and had to try it. This burger was piled high. The bun was a bit dry, but the crispy edge and very flavorful patty made up for it. Arugula, truffle and swiss make an excellent combo. It costs $12.95. Kids lounge meal was a bit small but kids always like the ice cream treat that comes with it. Come on Tuesdays and you can get a kids meal deal! Friendly service.

I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile as they blown up on social media and today just felt like a burger and fries day and I have to say this is a place that lives up to the hype and more. I ordered the grilled smash and it was amazing. Perfectly balanced and delicious and the perfect size for me, not too big or small, not too greasy, packed a ton of flavor across the meat, cheese and perfectly balanced with their house sauce and pickle. Ate that one up too. I also appreciated their level of service in how they packaged up my order so nicely and with a great level of care, and hooked me up with a ton of fries too - they were overflowing when I opened the bag and still nice and hot when I took them home! Casual spot definitely is going to be on my list of go to regular spots for one of the BEST in LA. Hands down. I totally get it. You got something real special here Pn'P!!!

The concept of the bun's exterior being on the inside with the patty is completely new to me and gives it a different texture. The interior of the bun was buttered and heated on the griddle, though I felt it was a bit overly buttered, but not too salty. I recently had a smash burger elsewhere that was overly salty, but not here. While the price is a bit steep, I'm happy to pay more knowing they use quality ingredients. They are very efficient; I received my burger 10 minutes after ordering. However, the burgers aren't very filling. I ordered the Grilled Double Smash ($13.54), and while it was very good, I still felt a little hungry afterwards.I loved the crispy edges, the sweetness of the onions, and the butter pickles. There's so much to love about this spot. Despite ordering at the kiosk, the customer service was great. The staff was happy to offer suggestions and help. They use the best ingredients, with 100% organic, grass-fed patties, and they don't use any seed oils. You can check out their website for more details. I love eating burgers with my son, and I'll definitely bring him here again, knowing they use better ingredients. This is a place that cares about its customers and community.

What surprised me was the prices but more on that later. The menu is streamlined and the choices are few. What HiHo does offer is simple done correctly. The Waygu beef is fresh and they do not over season the burger. They let the natural goodness of a quality beef patty do all the talking. There is plenty of flavor but the burger is not overly greasy. The buns are made in house, as well as the pickles and they both deliver. I love a burger with shredded lettuce. The French fries are prepared fresh and cooked to perfection for my taste. I like my fries slightly crispy and a little dark. They showed up well done and almost too hot to eat. I tried their in house sauce called "Matty Sauce" and still don't know how to feel about it. It was explained to me as their version of thousand island but there was an after taste to the sauce I still can't describe. I decided I didn't care for the sauce but never stopped dipping my fries in it. So in the end, I guess I ended up liking it? I feel you will either really like it, or really dislike it. I tried both the chocolate and vanilla shakes and preferred the vanilla. The shakes are made with house made ice cream and serve their purpose. I liked the fact they have a dispenser just for water and ice. Overall I say drop what you are doing and go get a HiHo Double. The most amazing thing about this burger is its simplicity and freshness. Two things that are often overlooked and/or not well done. If you want bells and whistles go elsewhere. If you want a really, really fresh and well made burger at In N Out prices, HiHo delivers.

It's also usually pretty easy to get a reservation, which is a huge plus. What we ordered: The Office Burger - $23 (8/10) The burger they're known for. The combination of caramelized onions, bacon, Gruyère, Maytag Blue cheese, and arugula works really well. It's pricey, but it's consistently cooked well and always hits. Fried Chicken Sandwich - $19 (9/10) Honestly, this has become my go to order. The chicken is crispy, well seasoned, and the kimchi vinaigrette with scallion aioli gives it a ton of flavor. One of my favorite sandwiches in LA. Frites in a Basket - $8 (9/10) Crispy fries served with a garlic parsley aioli. Simple and really good. Sweet Potato Frites - $9 (9/10) The roasted garlic Cabrales blue cheese aioli is the star here. A must if you like blue cheese. Salt & Vinegar Tater Tots - $8 (9/10) My sister's favorite. Order them extra crispy. Great seasoning and perfect for sharing. Spanish Mushrooms - $12 (8/10) Ordered these for my vegetarian friends and ended up enjoying them too. Simple, garlicky, and flavorful. Overall, Father's Office is one of my favorite spots for dinner and drinks in LA. The food is consistently good, the drinks are solid, and it's an easy recommendation whenever friends ask where to eat. Come for the burger, but don't sleep on the fried chicken sandwich.

Our server was Samuel and he seemed new at the job and was nice enough, but had to be reminded about water and my Arnold Palmer. I had the chicken soup and the Steak & Eggs and my guest had the Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup. I subbed the potatoes for mushrooms and my one problem with this place is that the food is never really hot which is bothersome. How do you not offer soup once poured into the bowl? Their prices are not cheap as the chicken soup was $9, the steak & eggs $32 (this was off the breakfast menu), $16.50 for the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup and $6.50 for the Arnold Palmer which is a complete rip-off. The total bill was $70.54 with Tax and a cash Tip of $15.00 which was generous given the service and the fact the place was empty. Their food would be better if I received it when it was hotter, but overall was fine since at 10:26 PM there are little in terms of options to eat. While not my first, second or third choices (George's closes early which is down the block across from Whole Foods), it's has some entertaining features like a gift shop, plenty of parking and a friendly staff.
