    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.

    Fatburger, a Los Angeles original, serves a great quality hamburger cooked to order is shear perfection. The burgers are cooked to order, the great tasting burgers is dress with fresh lettuce, onions, pickles, relish, mayonnaise, mustard, truly old fashion burger which is great. I had an order of Fat Fries, and a drink . Great meal made even better by the friendly crew.

    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

    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.

    Classic Large Fatburger (1/2 lb.) Meal excellent !

    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.

    Stopped by Station 43 for a creators event and ended up trying a few items and honestly, they've…read moregot some solid options on the menu. The pastrami was amazing, easily a standout. The owners are super nice and welcoming, which always leaves a good impression. On my second visit (just a regular day), the experience was a little different. The staff didn't seem very attentive to me or my guest. Nothing rude.. just not very engaged. That said, the restaurant does some really cool things. One feature I liked a lot was the spin board that displays your name when your order is ready.. small touch, but creative and fun. Because of the quality of the food and the overall vibe, I'm leaving four stars instead of something lower. The service didn't quite take it over the top, but there also wasn't anything bad enough to knock it down further. With more consistent attentiveness from staff, this spot could easily be a standout.

    Station 43 is a sleek, spare new pastrami and burger place on Melrose, just East of the Groundlings…read morecomplex. It's clean and helmed by a small but very friendly staff of people eager to please. The painted brick walls and wood tables & chairs say it wants to be something more and better than a "fast food spot," but its menu is too small to fall into the Mendocino Farms category of "fast casual," so let's just coin a new phrase: First Rate Fast! There are really only 2 things on the menu: a burger (prepared 4 ways) and Pastrami (prepared 3 ways), plus fries and drinks. On this first visit I opted for the "Strong," which their version of a Pastrami Reuben. It's an impressive sandwich, built with very high-quality components. The pastrami is long brined and long smoked and cut thick. It's well-marbled and very rich, with an intense flavor of both the brine and the smoke. It's most easily described as Aaron Franklin's best Texas brisket being sent for a Bar Mitzvah. It's very, very good. The rest of the sandwich holds its own, too. The rye bread is top flight and very flavorful, grilled perfectly to have that buttery crunch without being too greasy. Melted Swiss adds even more richness, while spicy mustard and slightly bitter sauerkraut bite back against the fat. The addition of a fairly mayo-forward Russian Dressing was a bit too much for me. Yes, it's the traditional Reuben condiment, but here the pastrami is so rich that the dressing (to me) gilds the lily, and a second layer of mustard (to me) would help to balance the sandwich a bit more. I ordered the combo, which means fries and a drink. The fries are pretty basic, but are very properly cooked to a nice crispness and carry the right dusting of salt. Sodas are canned, but they do have glasses and ice, so no harm there. Probably the funniest thing: each table has a light as you might have in a fine dining establishment. They're not necessary because this is a very bright restaurant -- but they are ring lights, and they help ensure that every social media photo has just the right glow. That's kind of genius. This is good food, and I will surely try a burger next time. But don't wait for my next review, head out soon and give them a try.

I've been a frequent flyer of Boo's (since I'm over in Ktown) and also quite a few orders over the years from South Philly Experience and twice from Matu (but that's a major treat and honestly way overpriced). All of these have their own great bits about them and I love all these spots. This isn't going to be a "who's better than who" since each is different in their own right and hits the spot different ways. I got the sweet pepper steak on seeded roll with of course, Cooper's! Then I got a classic Italian hoagie (with Cooper's) loaded up double meat/cheese. Biiiiig bonus using Boar's Head meats too, top shelf stuff. The fact that they're using Cooper's is a major plus and can get a seeded roll is such a nice touch. I do love a classic Amoroso, but seeded with the cheesesteak and Cooper's gives Matu a run for its money (and saves my wallet). Of course the meat quality is very different due to Matu using Wagyu but let's be real, that's really what you're paying for there. It's a nice treat but not an every other day get your money's worth. I feel I've found my favourite cheesesteak now though! The roll is super fluffy and crunchy where it needs to be. That thing was swaddled like a cared for newborn when it arrived and still hot from Melrose. Absolute 9/10 for me. The Italian was properly loaded and as I sit here enjoying it, a nice zingy break between cheesesteak bites as I split them half and half for lunch. For speed I love some Boo's, for the grill char taste I love some South Philly Experience but overall for my favourite spot now, it's Philly's Best off Melrose. Matu again is a great quality cut treat but the wait, the cost and the amount you get is not really worth it. Will absolutely be ordering from this place again in the future!!

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.

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!!!
