Fatburger is a classic burger chain that focuses on made-to-order burgers, thick patties, and customizable toppings. We walked into a casual, familiar space where the emphasis is on freshness and cooking everything after you order. The atmosphere is straightforward and relaxed, making it a good option for a quick burger meal without feeling like a standard drive-thru stop. The layout is functional and the energy stays comfortable, with a mix of dine-in and takeout customers moving through the counter. The main highlight is the burger itself. We ordered the Original Fatburger and found the patty cooked fresh with a satisfying grilled flavor, and the balance of juicy beef, toppings, and sauces made the burger feel more substantial than many fast food alternatives. The patty had a good sear and the produce was fresh, providing a clean contrast to the richness of the meat. The larger options are better suited for anyone looking for a more filling meal, and the toppings add plenty of customization, so you can adjust the burger depending on your preference. The ability to build your burger exactly how you want it is a big part of the appeal, and the quality of the ingredients holds up well against the customization. The sides and drinks also add to the experience. The fries are a good pairing with the burgers, and options like chili cheese fries provide a heavier, more indulgent choice. We ordered the chili cheese fries and found them well portioned, with a generous amount of chili and cheese that added richness without making the fries soggy. The milkshakes are another standout, with flavors like the Maui Banana Shake offering something different from the usual fast food dessert options. The shake was thick and creamy, with the banana flavor coming through clearly without being artificial. The menu has enough variety that it works for both a simple burger craving and a bigger meal. Service can vary, but the overall experience is usually quick and casual. Since everything is made fresh to order, the wait can be slightly longer than some fast food places, but the tradeoff is getting a hotter and fresher meal. The team moves efficiently, and the flow of the counter keeps orders moving without unnecessary delays. The restaurant itself is generally comfortable for a quick dine-in visit, though some locations may feel more dated depending on the area. Fatburger remains a solid choice for a classic burger experience. It sits somewhere between fast food convenience and a more traditional burger shop, with fresh cooking, customizable options, and a menu that has stayed consistent over the years. It may cost a little more than basic fast food, but the quality of the burger helps make it worth considering when you want something more satisfying than the usual drive-thru stop. read more

Burgers are so good Always great service And environment is always clean Well recommended read more

Fatburger is a chain and they are all about the same. This one is very good. We love their burgers, fries and shakes. This Fatburger is always clean and comfortable. I think most people like to order to go, but we enjoy eating there. There is always a table to sit at. The service is very nice and they will get your order right the first time. All their burgers are made to order so give them a minute. They don't have a huge menu which is fine. They make great burgers and if that is what you want, you are in the right place. You can also have delivery. I think it is third party, but I am not sure. I have never had them deliver. They also have turkey burgers and impossible burgers but I have not tried them so I can't offer an opinion. I do know that their onion rings are so good and get chili on your French fries. It is yummy. read more

Fatburger in West Hollywood is everything you want from a classic burger joint. It has a vintage diner vibe that feels both nostalgic and totally welcoming, like you should be there with a paper hat and a milkshake. The service was over the top friendly, with both the cashier and the cook going out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. It is not often you leave a fast-casual spot thinking, "Wow, those people really seemed to enjoy being there," but here we are. I went with the original cheeseburger with everything on it, plus a side of fat fries, and it absolutely hit the spot. The burger was juicy, the toppings were fresh, and the fries were perfectly golden with just the right amount of crisp. Nothing fancy, just good food done really well. If you are in the area and craving a solid, satisfying meal with great service, this place delivers. read more

When I first arrived in Los Angeles years ago, I remember I had my first Fatburger. With a fried egg! Today I was craving one and decided to try this location on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood. It doesn't disappoint. The service was so nice and with a big smile. My large Fatburger was great...and huge. Very clean inside and a nice location if you want to eat in. Love the old b/w photographs of jazz and R&B music legends on the walls. They also have turkey burgers, a chicken sandwich, milk shakes, sweet potato fries...and the newer meatless "impossible" burgers. Plus right now they have breaded chicken strips and fries made with Frank's Nashville Hot Seasoning and a lot of other good stuff. There's easy free parking just outside. read more

Ordered the Original fatburger. It's a juicy 1/3 lb beef patty with a nice pickle layer and mustard on top. The large tomato slice was ice cold on top balancing a warmth to this burger when you bite into this immediately after being served. The shredded lettuce is not too loose on top and the mayo is fairly light on top. The size of the original fatburger is adequate and you can increase the size or add other add-ons too if you like. This is a nice fast food option to have if you're in the area. The staff here are friendly and efficient with orders. The foot traffic is not busy during off peak hours. Plenty of seating inside and out. Small parking lot but just enough spaces read more

I hate complaining, but this was the worst turkey burger, onion rings I've ever had at a fat burger in my life! The onion rings were extremely greasy... the turkey burger I don't know what was going on with that. So disheartening to spend 20 bucks and can't get your money back. Why would I want credit on a meal? You couldn't make right the first time?! Ask to speak with manager/owner... and the Sweet lady said he won't be back until next month!!!! REALLY!?!?! Now, Janice was the lead and she was extremely sweet ... hats off to her. But this FOOD will be going back tomorrow. You can't even eat it. Stay away from this location go to Astro burgers across the street like I should've did. read more

This Fatburger location is right on the walk of fame strip and very similar to most other locations. The food is consistent with other locations so if you like the Fatburger this location will meet your expectations with the bonus of being able to hop out and see some old and new stars on the walk of fame. The Pepsi is fresh here and the service was good. No complaints from someone who's eaten Fatburger before. read more

Pro-tip: post mates has some really good deals right now for fatburger. Each 1/2 pound fatburger is buy one get one free. Same with onion rings and vanilla /chocolate milkshake. Same deal. Good old Fatburger! The original Los Angeles smash burger. With the works. But nowadays with the Gen Zer's, a smash burger with the works is a bad thing. No, for them, the edges must be super crispy and that and that only is the defining characteristic of a good smash burger. Well youngins, I'm here to tell you sometimes pickles, relish, onions tomatoes is okay. You see, fat burger is your red and blue all American burger. And we do like our burger fat!!! And the regular 1/2 fatburger is amazing. It's juicy, and what really elevates the meats taste is the sweetened relish. Sure the edges of the smashed burger are indeed not ad crispy as FTW or easy street, but so what? Fatburger has been smashing for years before these places even gestated . That says a lot. And their fat steak fries are of course crunchy and perfectly salty. Their hand-scooped shakes are a real treat. So much better than any other fast food place. Id recommend their vanilla or chocolate or Oreo shake. read more

Fatburger - Burgers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The guy who works here was rude. He went outside and was cursing at people who parked in the parking lot, but went elsewhere. The staff was more focused on arguing with people in the parking lot than providing good service to customers in the restaurant. Honestly, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food was not up to par either. read more

This is the true LA burger joint. Get it on the char for the best tasty burger in town.

The hamburger was good and they got the order right. The fries were not as fresh as I thought they would be but overall they were still good. Customer service was great, very friendly. The ambience was regular. But it was cold inside the restaurant. No complaints. read more

Excellent service from Dalia! The food was good as usual and place very clean which is appreciated.

The male cashier was extremely friendly and great customer service BUT the female supervisor wasn't at all she was making face and rude remarks. And was reprimanding the cashier for not charging one simple dipping sauce. I work in the fast food industry for years I have never seen this. She also was being extremely loud when talking to the male cashier and telling him he did a bad job. Her attitude was extremely inappropriate and horrible. They should hire a new supervisor or correct her attitude. read more

I am a fat burger, connoisseur... I was driving home from Santa Monica and saw the fat burger on Santa Monica Blvd.... From the moment I walked in the door the staff was very customer service friendly and asked what I like... They took my order and asked if I wanted certain items When they brought the meat out and slapped it on the grill baby... It was a thick quarter pound if not more burger cooked all the way through for perfection made my order exactly what I wanted and when I bid into it, I could not stop... Great job great staff go fat burger.!! read more

So, your answer to my experience is. Try something else. And to use my review as an advertising opportunity. Absolutely not!!!!!!!

Their burgers just melt in your mouth! They are far from your average burger. Their hotdogs are also great and of course, the cookies and cream shake is probably the best shake around! read more

Great food and the service is wonderful. I've never had nicer folks behind the register and making the food. Always smiling and sweet. :)

They are just huge, very big burgers! someone forgot tomatoes... it's sad but not fatal, next time I'll take something smaller! read more

Fatburger - Burgers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

No longer my favorite. Higher prices and super thin patties. Service is still good. Ambience. Hasn't changed in all the years I have known it. Shake Shack and Five Guys are my go to's. read more

Great menu, mediocre burgers. I'll start with the positive impression: they have an excellent menu of offerings. Easy to navigate, customize, and suited to everyone's needs, including vegans. They offer a v. burger, v. chicken nuggets, and an array of v. shakes. Honestly, it might be a better experience for vegans than it is for omnivores (since they did a mediocre job of cooking the meat). I had never had Fatburger before so I opted to try their king-sized burger. The meat was dry and lacked flavor. On top of that, the bread was also dry/crumbly. Luckily, I ordered a side of onion rings which were actually super good. The service was friendly and the restaurant was pleasant (although they could use a remodeling session since the vents were really dirty and the outside paint was peeling). Parking: There is a small lot. FYI: No drive-through. read more

Craving a burger so I door dashed me one since in-n-out's line was too long. The burger actually was not bad at all, I liked the relish, pickles & onions on them. You can get "The Works" with all the condiments. We got the original fat burger & it was not greasy. I like the packaging and also how quick service was. The prices are a bit high & it's a dollar more to add cheese which is a bit silly. read more

This location was very clean and the service was incredible. Rosa waited on me and was friendly and helpful. I ordered an impossible burger and she thoughtfully recommended the non-dairy cheese (good choice!). The manager was also working behind the counter, and was so personable and thorough with preparing my order. It was a miserable, hot day and I stopped here on my way home, and so glad I chose this location. Just that extra little bit of hospitality and customer service makes a huge difference. And in spite of the traffic on my way home, the food was still delicious! read more

Really liked it here, even though we took our meal to go. The burgers here are super juicy and pretty decently sized but they're also a bit watery (?) can't really explain it. The service was great and we loved the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. Loved the fries, they were perfectly crispy and just the right amount of salty. I liked it :) read more

This is literally my favorite place to go to in LA. They're always quick and friendly whenever I go, they have the best burgers, shakes, and fries! The place could be a tad bit more cleaner but they do what they can, they do get a lot of traffic so I'm sure it could be relatively difficult to keep up with. I had to eat here twice during my trip in LA it was so good. If your a first time visitor and you've never had Fatburger, I definitely suggest you give it a try. It's worth it! read more

Yaneth deserves a raise. she was AMAZING. we've been ordering the vegan burger from here for years and she was the first one to tell us they also have a dairy free cheese we can add on to it. she was also just such a delight and so happy and passionate about her job. We live yaneth. also fat burger food is always a 10/10. read more

Unfortunately, this spot is hit and miss. The burgers are inconsistent- one night they're fantastic, next time they're flavorless. Prices fairly high for the quality, it seems. Came here the other day got two regular burgers + 2 fries and it was $27. The Habit is definitely less expensive and more consistent with quality/taste. The plus here is that this spot is open late so you can grab a late night snack after work or going out. Staff is always kind, but it seems like they're always running a light crew that is stressed. Could be a sign of the times, but it was like that before covid too. read more

This business is a joke! The outside of the building looks like it should be condemned. How much does paint cost..too much for Fatburger. There are definitely times that you should "judge a book by its cover" and eating out IS one of those times! Sickening I will admit that I have given them more opportunities to redeem themselves than they deserve. At least 50% of the time they get a simple order wrong. Today was no exception. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese. They made with with American cheese and I corrected them. They simply scrapped the incorrect cheese off the already small totally cooked chicken breast and but a slice of Swiss on it. Regrilled it and returned the mess to me. The chicken was now dried out like jerky. There was a mixture of American and Swiss cheese now which was disgusting. I should have have asked for a refund but I can only imagine how that would turn out considering how they run this dump so I decided to simple decide never to give them another dime and to compose this review so others might learn from my experiences eating here. Never again Fatburger - you have lost a customer for life! read more
