    Simple menu
    Shaun W.

    Heard a new burger place with a catchy name was having a soft opening up a few blocks from my house so had to swing by. ========= LOCATION ========= Located in the heart of Sherman Oaks (Ventura Blvd, near Van Nuys Blvd) this small mostly take out Smashburger spot may be hard to miss if you blink. Nestled a block or two inbetween a Fatburger and McDonald's, BSWrote features a small window stooled counter and a few outdoor tables located on the sidewalk out front. Inside it's fairly simple, a large easy to read board with their (2) burger options, fries and drinks menu. It's pretty narrow inside and when I went it was empty so it wasn't too bad but if you come during a rush, it might be an issue. ========= THE FOOD ========= ~ THE OKLAHOMA BURGER -- (single) The burger patty was huuuuuge circumference-wise and paper thin. Imagine a thin giant burger CD of meat. The edges were nice and crispy. The middle was a bit too thin for my liking so I'd definitely get a double next time. The burger was 100% A5 Wagyu meat (no blend) from Snake River Farms and came on a small Kings Hawatian bun. It was topped with American cheese, ketchup, grilled onions, pickles, mustard & mayo. Other than the thinness of the meat my only other real complaint was the bun size in comparison to the meat. (4/5) ~ FRIES -- Freshly made they come in a (small) $4 option or a normal $6 option. The small was a decent size for my burger and it paired well with it. Their fries were definitely unique, more on the peppery side but I enjoyed them. Not too thicc, not too thin. Have I had better? Sure. Were they pretty good? Definitely. (4/5) =============== FINAL THOUGHTS =============== I love that it's a simple menu. The ONLY difference between the Oklahoma and the regular burger is one has GRILLED Onions, the other has regular onions. While it's a bit pricey, for Sherman Oaks it's right on par with other Ventura craft burger spots. Every bite of my burger had flavor so I'm definitely going to add it into my rotation of monthly eats especially since it's walking distance from my house and my favorite Donut Shop (K's) less than a block away.

    Ordered the Oklahoma burger with no bun, ketchup or mayo and one slice of cheese. Cheese for me can over power a burger. It was suppose to have pickles and mustard. However, the cook didnt put it. The cheese and more onion are in between the two patties. Great burger. A must try. Fries were awesome unlike other places. I hope the cook pays more attention to detail.

Stevie was so nice and smelled so good, me and my sister bought the perfume they were wearing. We will be back for sure!

    This was my first time at Tipsy Cow, and I have mixed emotions. The atmosphere is casual and…read morefestive, with TV's playing sports and a varied crowd that includes daters, older couples, families and singles making the most of their weekend. There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.

    Met up with a friend on a Friday night for an early happy hour dinner. Since we didn't have…read morereservations, the host let us know they'd need the table back in about 1.5 hours. No problem... except no one came to us for ever. We were maybe 1 of 4/5 tables in the place. Finally we flagged down someone who got our drinks going. Looks like he was the bartender - bar did have people too. Took awhile to get some food going as well, but we did eventually. Staff was friendly, so other than the waiting, it was a great time. We had some froses which were yummy. Wings were good and we LOVED the crab cakes, though we thought they were on the small side. Loved atmosphere and definitely will come back.

Sherman Oaks is gritty and the section of Ventura Boulevard that houses TLP is almost brutalist in its anti-establishment aesthetic. You would never know it was here if you didn't either live in the neighborhood or seek it out as I did. It is sandwiched between a completely non-descript place that I didn't even look at and a crystals shop with grafitti-etched windows (unfortunately!) but some really cool beads. Inside is the same -- no frills, a dress-down and survive-if-you-dare vibe. My pictures will illustrate what I mean. Nevertheless, the friendly service (shout out to our server, Patrick), the menu, and the quality of the food are well worth it. Again, see what we ordered in the photos attached. Everything was delicious. The floor, tables, and chairs were all clean. There is some kind of post-apocalypse rhumba going on with the ceiling treatment. It is almost reverse-logic art with all the shading (stains? velour movement?) and utilitarian installation it reveals. Love the walls though, and the worn distressed wood everywhere (see the pix, folks). A bonus was watching the Masters (Patrick let us linger) and sitting by a giant window that was open to the street. Parking is up a block or so on either side. We always find safe spots in Sherman Oaks. The music seemed to be one CD of an unknown (to me) vocal artist and was pleasant. The crowd was friendly and the whole atmosphere was like one big homey grunge party. You know those mornings you fall out of bed and almost don't want to change out of your pajamas or yoga threds? This is the place to go. I loved it. (NOTE: You may have to refresh this page twice to see my pictures, for some reason. grrrrrr)

    It's really cool seeing a burger spot being inclusive. They offer keto-friendly, plant-based,…read moregluten-free and nondairy options for all their burgers. This is pricier than other burger places I frequent but the quality is better and sometimes you have to pay more for higher quality food options. I got the dairy free version of their cookies and cream shake and I made the right choice. While I'm not lactose intolerant, my tummy can feel some type of way with too much dairy. But I couldn't resist getting actual whipped cream so make of that what you will. The dairy free versions of their shakes are great if you want the flavor and sweetness without the heaviness and occasional gastric discomfort. Plenty of parking as this is in a strip mall

It all tasted fresh, and the portions were perfect. The dining experience was pleasant. It was very clean inside and the service when taking our orders and bringing food to the table was kind and quick. I appreciated them checking in to see if we needed anything and checking in on how the food was tasting. It was all yummy! Will definitely come here again. The quality of fries and burgers is was not your typical fast food experience (this is not fast food!), so if you're looking for a quality place that offers burgers, definitely check out Burger Lounge. Order from their app too, to schedule your orders ahead! Oh AND there were more onion rings at the bottom!! It was a nice surprise!! (Sorry to ruin it!)

Back to being a standout, garlicky, and topped with just the right amount of Parmesan. So garlicky, I was glad we both at them so as not to offend the other! They recently expanded their liquor offerings too! Not just beer & wine, they now have a full bar! It's clear there's been a big improvement in both quality and execution. So glad we gave it another shot, the restaurant is BACK!
