Just had Let's Smash on Ventura Boulevard... and damn, it was delicious…read more This is what a real burger is supposed to taste like. Fresh, old-school smash burgers with crispy edges, juicy in the middle, and perfectly cooked fries. It takes you back to the classic neighborhood burger stands we all grew up loving. I loved every bite! You just can't beat a neighborhood hamburger joint run by a father-and-son team. Great food, Great people genuine hospitality, Freaking delicious!

One thing I really appreciate is when restaurants actually take gluten-free seriously…read more My daughter has celiac disease, so finding a great gluten-free burger isn't easy. Huge shoutout to Let's Smash for now offering a gluten-free bun. She said it was one of the best burgers she's had, which says a lot.

They didn't have lemonade but the waitress found some Kirkland lemonade so my daughter was so happy. She really did go above and beyond for us and everyone there. We went back 2 days later that's how much I love the wings. And tried 3 more flavors, sweet chili, hot buffalo and some non spicy one. Bomb!

Where do I begin? A…read morebunch of us had just finished a graduation ceremony at a nearby high school. We thought of giving this place a try as an unofficial end of the year get together. When we walked in we were definitely out of place and a bit taken aback. There was a soccer match on featuring Team Mexico. Everyone in the place was fired up and into the game. We thought we had found yet another sports bar, boy were we wrong! We tried to find a small place to sit and stay out of the way. As soon as the staff saw that we had no idea what we walked into they went out of their way to find us a table that could hold our party. They made sure we were taken care of at every turn in the road. They made sure we knew we were welcome. The entire bar embraced us as we joined the cause cheering for Team Mexico. IT WAS AWESOME! We are all still talking and texting about how we can't wait to go back. The service was outstanding. The vibe was amazing. The food was great. The prices were fantastic. I am not the world's biggest soccer fan but if I were watching any World Cup game featuring any team, this would be my spot! Family owned. Family operated. Family recipes on the menu. I highly recommend the buffalo wings. Can't wait to go back! You have a lifelong loyal customer!

Probably wouldn't ever go back…read more I thought that the burger was pretty bland. Just overall I didn't feel like anything blew me away here. The service was also very slow even though we were one of two tables there. We went in and were told that on the kids menu the items are actually three dollars more than what it says on the menu because they printed it wrong which I kind of felt like they should've just honored what their menu said. They also have sweet potato fries on their menu which they didn't actually have and that was part of the reason that I chose the restaurant.

Each Patty is 3 ounces so the double ends up feeling like a normal single. If you're a big eater I recommend two doubles. This location doesn't have chicken as an option like some of the others, but don't let that deter you. The service here is also a lot quicker and this location is less crowded than the one in Hollywood. There are tons of Smashburger options in the valley, oversaturated at times, and only a few true good options. For The Win sits among the top of the list of smash burgers to try in the valley!

I LOVE a good smash burger so you bet your sweet cheeks I had this place bookmarked for a while…read morenow. I finally got to try it and I have to say not bad at all. I know there's multiple locations and I wonder if specific locations do it better. Idk. I did the double and it felt a little heavy eating it, but it was still delicious. I did sweet potatoes as my side and they were ok. A little flabby but not terrible to consume. My one downside is the AC wasn't working and man, with these heatwaves we've been experiencing, it's a must to have working AC.

The fries were also perfect--crispy and delicious! The mozzarella sticks were so good too, and the cheese pull was EVERYTHING! You can really tell they put care into their food.

Hands down, easy...5 stars!!…read more Was craving chili cheese fries (literally), and this place delivered! Parking was available in a small parking lot right next to the establishment, and while it was a bit tight, there were plenty of spots! Just make sure you don't miss the turn for the lot! They had exactly the type of menu I was looking for. It was very diner in the sense that they had a delicious menu of burgers, fries, and all things fried that I was looking for...AND chili cheese fries. Carlos was the kind man who took our order. It was pretty empty on a Sunday early evening, and service was spot on. It was clean and cool inside and lots of seating outside too. With their combo deals, you can upgrade your regular fries to chili cheese fries for an extra $6.99. WORTH IT! Will definitely be back! The patty melt was everything!! The fries, even better and so crispy to perfection!

They use 100% wagyu beef and the patties were seasoned and grilled to perfection. Pairing them with their yummy, hand cut crispy fries made for the perfect party meal. We had a few extra burgers to spare and they even tasted great when I had one for dinner after the party! A huge thank you to the team for being so accommodating with the menu. They created custom plain burgers specifically for the kids, which was a total lifesaver and ensured even the pickiest eaters were happy :) The service was friendly, professional, and seamless from start to finish. Daniel and his partner were a pleasure to work with and made the hosting experience so much easier. If you want high-quality food and excellent service for your next event, I highly recommend them!

Communication could be better when planning the event. I had to reach out multiple times throughout the process. They ran out of burgers for my guests even though they said they brought extra patties. (I did not go over guest count nor did anyone get seconds). I did a menu of OG burgers and grilled cheese and specifically asked if there would be enough for 40 adult burgers and about 5 kid patties. There may have been miscommunication, but about 7 of my guests did not get burgers. I give 4 stars even though it was frustrating and I feel like I did not get my moneys worth. Again, burgers were great for those who ate them and Daniel and his cook were nice.

I got lucky with one on the corner but my friend had to park blocks down. Now i don't want to say she was being rude for the sake of it. It could be cause she's the only bartender handling a whole restaurant with no help and getting frustrated. One one occasion ordering with 2 other people who got food and drinks i said oh no drinks for me. And she took that as no food and started going to take someone else's order until i said hey i want food and she acted like i was holding her up from taking the other persons order telling them to be patient as if she needs to get over there. Never got my glass of water she was supposed to bring until i went back to the bar and paid for bottled water. Anytime i went to the bar i felt like i was burdening her lol. When i went back to order a burger after only ordering a salad prior i could only hope she wasn't mad that i was back up there. Karaoke on Thursdays happen here. A pool table. I hadn't been here in 2 yrs and would probably only come back knowing what to expect service wise
