    Large Fatburger (1/2 lb.)
    Stuart B.

    This location is in a little mini mall with easy and free parking, just off Ventura Boulevard. It's very clean and my large Fatburger was very juicy, fresh and delicious. There's a lot of seating inside which makes it feel just a little cramped if you dine in, but there are large windows which make it feel more airy and I found a nice table right by the window. There was a line of about 5 people waiting, but my order was fast. Pleasant service and you order from a window inside. This location also has their Buffalo's Express chicken, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Came here on Saturday night hoping that this location would be better than the Van Nuys location. I was wrong. They equally suck. Many many years ago, Fatburger was one of my favorite burger joints. I don't know what happened but the meat is simply not good. It was overly salty. There was some much mustard in the burger, I couldn't taste anything other than salt and mustard. However, the service was good and the ingredients were fresh. It's just the meat I didn't care for at all. I must say, though, there burgers are quite large and they use all the ingredients I typically like in my burgers. Their fries with seasoning salt are also not bad. If you're a fan of fatburger, don't forget to get the frequent buyer customer card.

    Never heard of this place until the day we went and it was good! I enjoyed the thicker steak burger and the toppings together made for a very good classic American burger. Fries were good too! Prices were more than I expected but they're better burgers than most other fast food places so it tracks. Glad to have visited it was tasty I'd definitely come.back!

    I am always in the mood for a good burger and Fatburger definitely fulfilled my burger craving! The outside had a couple of homeless people that were quite aggressive but the staff was amazing. This was my first time here so after reviewing the menu and asking questions, I decided to go with the regular burger and skinny fries. The burger was pretty big, I believe 1/3 lb of beef which I assume is average size for a burger. They did have one smaller size as well. The burger was fresh but it I felt like the patty could have more seasoning. I added jalapeños to my burger which added a nice kick to the relish that was already on the burger. I enjoyed my meal overall!

    I have not had a fat burger in maybe 10 years! Forgot how good they are. Prices have definitely gone up but that's true for everything. Burger and skinny fries were on point!

    Ok any place mentioned by Biggie & Ice Cube in their song has to be fire. I'm pescatarian so I ordered the veggie burger and fat fries. Got peppers on the side. Been getting this combo for years but it was my first time at the Studio City location. Definitely hit the spot and satisfied my veggie burger craving. recommend added a side of the peppers (which are free) I came at an excellent time right before the dinner rush. It started to get busy about 15 minutes before I left. Will definitely be returning to Fat Burger!

    Nice lunch spot for a group of employees. If someone wants burgers and other people want wings. This is the spot to go. Fresh made to order.

Red and white tile, open kitchen, cooks in white hats calling out orders. You watch your whole meal get made. Double-Double Animal Style and fries. Order at the counter, they bring it out. Burger lands wrapped in paper, still steaming. Soft bun, cold crisp lettuce, cheese melted into the patty, grilled onions and spread dripping. Messy. Worth it. Fries are cut in-house -- you can see the potatoes stacked by the slicer. Thin, hot, not greasy. Lightly salted and gone fast. Just fresh ingredients done right. Burger and fries for under $10 and you walk out full. This is probably my 2000th burger, and it still hits the same. An icon. The best! An LA staple. Clean, fast, consistent. When you want a real burger without the hype or the $25 bill, this is it.

It makes sense since it's a couple of blocks away from the Dolby Theater. So after having seen a show at the Dolby Theater, I wanted to come here specifically. But technically, some of those famous pics where you see people celebrating are also at the Westwood location... yes but either way who doesn't love a good In-N-Out meal. I almost never use the drive-through at any location so always come in. The line moves pretty quickly as usual and the folks are always friendly. I ordered a cheeseburger and a chocolate shake. I just love the consistency whenever you go to any In-N-Out location. This location provides sort of a small tourist attraction element to it. I walked over after the show at the Dolby Theater so parking wasn't an issue.

I had to pop by for the cuteness and good eats Carney's is right along the Sunset Strip and has it's own small, free parking lot ~ a total win. They have seats inside the train car but also a few picnic tables outside for dining, as well. The staff here is superb. So friendly and efficient, the way they get through the always long line and just move so fast is a master class on service. Chili is one of their signature items here which you can get alone, on the burger, on the hot dog, even on the fries! And goodness do they give you a heaping portion. Now I don't love chili so I'm always on their other items. They do patty style burgers which I like and also great hot dogs. They serve them in the softest non-poppy seed bun ever and are enjoyable. I like their cheese fries, too, though I can never finish them. The chocolate chip cookies are $2.50 and so soft & gooey just the way I like them. This is one of my favorite chocolate chip cookies in the Los Angeles. Jonathan Gold named Carney's one of his 99 Essential LA Restaurants. I concur.

They're famous for their chili, so we went all in and ordered the chili burger, chili fries, and chili hot dogs. Honestly, everything was pretty good. The chili was flavorful, the burgers were satisfying, and I really don't have any complaints. Our only mistake? We got way too greedy. LOL. Ordering three chili-covered items was definitely overkill. By the end, we were all chili'd out. Overall, Carney's is a solid spot that's worth checking out at least once, especially if you're a fan of classic chili dogs and burgers. Just don't make the same mistake we did and order *everything* with chili unless you're ready for a serious chili overload!

This Sunset location feels cleaner and actually maintained. The original spot feels like whichever side of the family runs it just stopped caring years ago. I've actually never eaten inside this location. It's always been a pickup spot for me. I have eaten inside the North Hollywood location dozens of times though because I have a friend who, for some reason, always gets the tri-tip. One thing Zankou does really well is packaging. Everything is sealed up properly, organized, and survives the trip home better than most takeout places. My biggest wish is that they'd make their own pita bread. Imagine getting this chicken with fresh baked bread coming out of the oven instead of packaged pita. That would elevate the whole experience to another level. Somehow none of the locations do that. So yeah, if you're choosing between locations, I'd point people toward this one or one of the newer stores instead of the original spot. The chicken is still the chicken. The garlic sauce is still the garlic sauce. Some things don't need changing.

It was soft, pillowy, and had the perfect amount of chew, bringing the whole sandwich together. My wife ordered the Chili Cheese Fries, but she wasn't a fan. Her exact words were, "Meh."

They have a large selection of creative and over the top sandwiches, so there's a good chance you'll find something to please your cravings.

For more than 80 years, Pink's Hot Dogs has been a true Los Angeles institution, drawing generations of locals and tourists from around the world to experience one of the city's most iconic food destinations. Founded in 1939 as a humble hot dog cart, Pink's has built its legendary reputation by serving classic hot dogs with unforgettable flavors while staying true to its roots. My favorite is the spicy Polish dog topped with rich chili, melted cheese, and fresh raw onions. The spicy sausage has the perfect kick, while the savory chili and creamy cheese create an incredible combination that keeps you coming back for another bite. The crunchy raw onions add just the right amount of freshness and texture to finish it off. Don't skip the French fries! They're perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and the ideal side to pair with one of Pink's famous hot dogs. Whether you're a lifelong Angeleno or visiting Southern California for the first time, Pink's is a must-visit. The long line is part of the experience, and after more than eight decades, it's easy to understand why this legendary spot continues to delight both locals and visitors alike. Pink's isn't just a place to grab a hot dog--it's a piece of Los Angeles history.

Good ratio of hot dog to chili. Very fun experience and would definitely come again!
