    Where is my BACON? $80 for 3 meals can I at least have some BACON  or did they run out?
    Kay L.

    WHERE IS MY BACON? For a $20 Burger can you please put some Bacon on it. What did they do break a piece of bacon in 2 parts.... That's not right. They forgot my Cheese. The BANANA MILKSHAKE was Sooooo Good. I will be back tomorrow for another one. The Onion Rings were Great as usual. The Western Burger was Awful. If was Dry and came with a half of a small Burger Patty... So sad but my son had to eat it or starve. He called it a dry onion ring sandwich. They put CHEESE on my hubby's GIANT Burger. He hates cheese. I gave 2 Stars because all our orders were wrong. This place is usually on top of things but it was late night and it looked like there weren't enough staff. I just won't go there so late again. P.S. They owe me a Giant Burger and a Western Burger ....smh... I am contacting corporate about the quality.

    Caught between McDonald's next door and a In n Out that's in the adjacent city not too far away, this Fatburger would have to go the extra mile to keep business. Unfortunately this one only half heartedly tries. Ordered a burger and fries here and aside from Patty that couldve been cooked a little better, I also found a piece of plastic in my burger. Fries were pretty good though. Free parking lot available.

    Pretty tasty burger! Came here for a quick lunch with some coworkers. Food was fresh and came out quick. The fries are also great, I definitely prefer the fries here compared to In & Out.

    I've driven past multiple Fatburgers in my life and had never gotten a chance to try their burgers. My coworker wanted to order UberEats and we decided to take advantage of the delivery fee together. I ordered a plain small fatburger with fat fries. Although my food was no longer hot and a little deflated when delivered, they still tasted really good. The burger patty was well-seasoned and the blanket of melted cheddar cheese made an ooey gooey cheeseburger. I love potato wedges, so I really enjoyed the fat fries. Overall, the meal was very satisfying, but a little on the heavier side. It is fast food, so be prepared to feel super guilty after.

    In westwood we have not only Fatburger, but also In n Out, and 5 guys. All three of these burger juggernauts juke it out for position. Fatburger probably has the worst location of the three. Its much less glamorous, and not inline with the hip calorie watching. Fatburger seems like more of a guilty pleasure than a realistic burger for many. I braved the caloric intake and made my way down for what was actually my first fatburger. I did not know what to expect. I got a burger and fries. I loved the fries, and the burger was actually okay. Normally I do not eat many fast food burgers that are not in n out, but I fatburger is okay. I like that I got to see my patty be made in front of me, and the amount of pepper in the patty. That as a plus. Other than that everything was just okay. The fries were my favorite part, I liked them quite a bit. Much moreso than other fastfood fries.

    Quick lunch!

    I love my Fatburger! I used to work in this area nearly 15 years ago, and this Fatburger location was my "go to" at least once a week for a juicy hamburger with all the fixings - including a fried egg, with a side of skinny fries. I got the chance to visit today, and was not disappointed. Quick counter service and my burger arrived cooked to perfection! Lots of free parking in the adjacent garage and drama free, always a plus when I'm on the westside.

    VEGGIE BURGER!!... veggie burger... SKINNY FRIES...skinny fries... The thing that makes this Fatburger really cool is the guy who works at the register during weekday lunchtimes. Instead of just having the crew look at the screen and make your burger, he yells out your order while you're ordering it and the staff echoes him. So it goes like this: "Hey man, what can I get for you?" (register guy) "Let me get a Veggie burger-" (me) "VEGGIE BURGER!!!" (register guy) "Veggie burger!" (staff) "...combo...with skinny fries" (me) "SKINNY FRIES!!!" (register guy) "Skinny fries!" (staff) "Ok, that'll be blahblahblah" (register guy) I have to say that I love the veggie burgers at Fatburger. With my vegetarian foofooness making me eat all these bougie foods, it's good to know that I can still eat a huge fast food meal and think to myself after my meal, "Man, I'm going to have to take a huge dump." For that alone, Fatburger deserves 4 stars.

    Monster sized burgers and a sinple menu like In-N-Out. The only problem is that it is 3x as expensive... The fat fries are great as well. I parked for free in the parking garage that is connected to the restaurant.

    When it comes to fast food, you can say I'm your average snob with no culinary training whatsoever. However, Fatburger for me has been a go-to place for several years now and I realized that I'd never actually Yelped a Fatburger. So why now? Why am I reviewing a fast food place? I came to this location after work, expecting my Original Fat Burger to be the same lean burger that's filled with the right amount of cheese, onions, lettuce, tomato, and those "fat fries." I was not disappointed; when I say the right amount of cheese, I mean it's the right amount to give it that street type of a taste. The amount of onions is to a point where you get crunch, but not anything overpowering, like you might get from other popular spots in southern California... yes, that place that's usually by the edge of a freeway. When I say the right amount of lettuce, I'm saying it's not the thickest part of the iceberg lettuce, i'ts the leafy edges that also add crunch and freshness to the burger. And when I say the right amount of tomato, I mean that it's not too watery, they're tomatoes that are cut nicely to the point where they provide just enough water to prevent the burger from being too dry. The bread itself is not bad, it's not too bready, if that makes any sense... The Fat Fries I like, they're not anything special, but they compliment the burger well. The staff is also friendly, definitely not a reflection on the drivers passing outside on Wilshire. Overall it's a good experience, if you're on the look for a safe burger spot, regardless of how snobby you may be, this is a spot worth trying, and one that you likely won't regret.

We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

I like…read morethem, but I've never fully understood the obsession, especially when LA has so many unique, global, authentic, and genuinely incredible food options. But Amboy has gotten a ton of hype, especially from food influencers, so I decided to make the 45-minute trek and try the DH Burger. We arrived just before 5, so there was hardly a line. After ordering, we waited about 25 minutes for our burgers and fries, which felt reasonable for a thicker patty cooked with some intention. The DH is a seriously good burger. It's probably about as good as a classic burger can get. The meat was juicy, the bun was soft, and everything was cooked and constructed really well. Does it justify the higher price? I'm not entirely sure. Was it a mind-blowing experience? Not really. Was it delicious? Absolutely. I just don't think it's so far superior to other great burgers that most people need to travel 45 minutes for it, especially considering the extremely limited seating, crowded space, and slightly grungy DTLA location. If you're anywhere nearby, Amboy is absolutely worth trying. If you're a true burger connoisseur, it may even be worth the longer pilgrimage. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend Amboy and agree that it's a top-tier burger. I just think there are a lot of really good burgers out there, and it's difficult for something as simple as a burger to reach the almost mythical level of hype that surrounds this one.

Their hot dog is the platonic ideal of what a hot dog should be. The old bay seasoning on their crispy tots is a stroke of genius.

Thankfully a tall brick wall, umbrella-toting picnic tables, and large sails give ample shade to their large lot. There are a few parking spots in the back if you're lucky, otherwise street parking should be easy to find. When enough people showed up to eat, it felt like a backyard kickback. Music was a perfect volume for conversation and their Regular Show-esque bespoke mural gave us a lot to talk about. You put your order in with friendly staff inside, and they call your name on speakers when it's ready. Ice cold water is freely available as well as some select beers, wines, and juices. It's not fast food, but it's not slow either -- you can't rush something as delicious as what they have to offer here.
