    If you want a decent hamburger, freshly made then this is a big improvement over any of the big chains. Yes it takes a bit longer to prepare but it is definitely worth it. We visited twice - once to eat in very late (around 1am) and once to order and take to go offerings. In both cases the service was friendly and good and the ambiance (what can you expect in a burger joint?) adequate. Clean and comfortable enough.

    I had a few errands to run before work and I realized I needed fuel for my body! Fatburger was calling my name! I ordered the impossible burger and steak fries! The place is clean, music and TVs pumping and fast service! The burger has their usual works and, so far, this is the best burger around! The steak fries are always my favorite and Fatburger knows how to do them! When I had a place in Chicago we served steak fries so it always brings me back to those cool days! Now while I'd rather be the customer instead of the owner...I wish I could have gotten a refill on those fries lol! Thanks Fatburger! You rock! And you know I WILL BE BACK!

    I heard this place serves halal beef and chicken so I visited here for a late night burger run. Staff confirmed the burgers are halal (i didnt ask the staff about the other meats). Had a great experience. The burgers were tasty and made quickly.

    Rude workers!

    Came in at 11:27pm to order a burger. Was asked if it was for here or to go. I said here. Once order was ready, we started to eat. The guy came out and said we couldn't eat there and had to leave. Ridiculous.

    Came to this location for lunch was very comfy to eat and friendly service. Food was delicious. The price is a little up there but worth the quality. Got to be careful. A lot of people in Plaza around parking lot but very comfortable.

    Of course the burgers are great, but at these prices they should be out of this world, nearly $20 for a burger meal for one person?

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.

There is only outside seating however it's covered and comfortable for the most part. The food is amazing. They don't just smash hamburger meat, they season the patties and trust me that makes a huge difference.

They also have great homemade hand apple pies though they do tend to sell out however. I am excited to try their hotdogs because nothing they serve is basic.

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. The inside is small, so it's basically an outdoor-only seating or take-it-to-go situation. 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.

The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
