    What is it? Fantastic unique burger that's what it is!

    Why aren't there 5MM reviews for this burger! Location: They're a pop up so they're everywhere but I caught them on Abbott Kinney Fri 8/23/24 around 1am near Gjelina in front of that famous bar on the corner with outdoor seating and the standard taco truck. Follow them on instagram to find them @gamgam_burger https://www.instagram.com/gamgam_burger?igsh=dWU0M3k2ODNraDgz Burger: This burger is roughly $16.50 in price, and well worth the money, the drive, and the wait. I was watching people and their reaction as they ate. They said nothing stopped doing everything except eating and were wholly immersed in the experience. Then I got mine and understood. It is a foodie haven experience. Man. They need to license these to high end spots and charge $50 a burger! I can still taste and recall the savory experience. Nothing like it in this world (well at least that I have found so far.) I've traveled quite a bit, and America is home of the burgers and I drove 30K miles across the US (blog to come) and didn't see anything like it so not sure this exist anywhere else. The teriyaki type sauce, mayonnaise combo with the cheese, smashed patties, Hawaiian bread, and over easy fried egg is quite the combo. I was hungry and was like oh man this won't fill me up but it sure did! The flavor isn't too savory it is just right. Limited sodium and a nice balance of sweet in the sauce. The runny egg has you licking your fingers wanting more. I can't say enough about this burger. Feel like I could write an entire blog about it and the delicacy experience. Kudos to these gents, they are truly onto something! Now if America can help them capitalize and spread the love so we can buy these in abundance please!!! I will definitely be on the hunt for these guys in the future. I would hire this company for my wedding reception all day and pay $50 a burger no sweat for the special occasion ;) Congrats on finding and creating a niche gents. Well done! Thank you for the superb foodie experience! A complete vibe!

    I stumbled upon this delicious burger tent when I was looking for a coffee BUT THE SMELL OF THESE BURGERS I tell you! Called me like my mother when I was a kid and stayed out too late! The service was good and quick and the fries were crisp like a winter morning in dorchester & the vibe was chill with great music playing. I say that to say Gam Gams Burgers are delicious and a MUST TRY when in the downtown LA area. Thanks again guys!

    Gamgam is the incredibly kind owner of this stand and if you're in the area this is a must try in LA. The recipe was created by the owner and his wife, and if the shops not busy you might be lucky enough to talk about vintage cars with this LA Legend. The umami of this burger will make In-n-out lovers wonder if they ever had a real burger. The area also has coffee shops, vintage clothing, and a flower stand for activities to do before or after your once-in-a century burger

    Such a yummy & unique spot! The menu is straight to the point and it HITS! They also had some house/jazz music bumping which really set the mood. 10/10 service as well!

    Amazing people and food!!! Pop-up at 8th & Santa Fe Ave which also has a coffee shop and shoe store. Oh, it's also a car culture venue as well!!!

    Bam this is where the burger happens. Ok so went to a car meet event and it course you all know I'm all about that food life so I pulled up and seen these guys setting up shop and I was already hooked. So while they where setting up I walked around enjoying the event, and then it happened they where open for business, my stomach was growling and placed my order of course I had to get a Combo, it came with the best smash burger with cheese and to top it off with a egg just made the world better. Also a bag of chips and a drink, They guys running the show where on point friendly and service was with great attitude and energy. Anyway I grabbed my burger went to eat it and was amazed at the flavors and of course my fingers had some egg on them so it made the burger finger licken good. Five thumbs up for bringing it. I'll catch them again. Follow them on insta to catch um.

    This place will ruin all other burgers for you...Easily the best burger I've ever had--no exaggeration! Everything from the perfectly toasted bun to the flavorful saucy combination is just next level. You can tell it's crafted with intention, not just slapped together. The balance of textures, the seasoning, the sauce... insane. If you're a burger lover (or even if you're not), this place will make you a regular. 10/10.

    Yoooooo! Best kept secret burger spot, tucked away in a lot with a coffee shop! Classic cars parked all over the place, definitely worth a try!

    Honestly best burger I've ever had in my life! Now they went and added a fried chicken sandwich...what?! Game changer! Run don't walk to gamgam!

    Located in Highland Park proper I was turned on to Goldburger because I drive by it on the way to…read morethe gym. As a burger fan, I wanted to give it shot and I finally found the time to. Parking: Street parking was super easy on a Sunday afternoon, I was able to pull up right in front and park on the street. There is a Super A across the street and ample parking around for free. Ambiance & Food: This reminds me of an old school burger stand. Those were the best burgers and this one did not stop that trend. As I walked up, we were warmly greeted and given a quick rundown of what which burger. They did have specials (I will get to that in a second) which we were intrigued, but for the sake of perspective, I ordered the Goldburger and both regular fries and curly fries with a bottle coke. The Goldburger is naturally a double, but my gymrat protein brain added that extra patty. They use a 70% to 30% mixture for their burger which makes the burger oh so decadent. The picture I took doesn't do it justice. The moment you bite into the burger the combination of burger juice, aioli, burnt skirt, all come together in such a harmonious fashion. It was remarkable. Though fries are not one of my strong points, both fries were crispy and I haven't had any other experience with Curly fries other than Jack in the Box, but these were so much better. I went ahead and dipped the fries in some homemade Aioli and dang, what a combo! Back to those specials, the current special is CHILI, I was intrigued so they gave me a small container of it to try. Man, if I wasn't watching my caloric intake, that would have been the move. It was rich and chunky and not to soggy which some always comes. Give it a try as they said it will be around for sometime. Other than burgers, they do have hot dogs as well. So worth trying both next time. To be perfectly honest, this brought back so much nostalgia for me, I used to go to school in the area and this brought a lot of those memories back. Tasty burgers and a must try for sure if your around! Cheers!

No where near the flavor and umami as heavy handed and easy street and more modern places. Very fatty. Fries had a good crisp but the chili was super super smoky. Not sweet at all. Which is fine, but not my style. Chili is very user specific. People that worked there were incredibly nice. The diet soda option wasn't bad. Outdoor seating only so go at night or on a cool day.

Howlin' Ray's is there too... but I don't care. ‍ Yes, they have smash burgers here, but I don't really think of Amboy as a smash burger place. It's the thicker burgers that keep bringing me back. Also, don't plan your entire trip around getting The DH because they don't always have it. This was my second visit and once again it wasn't available, so we ended up getting the Amboy and the Fancy, both Slim Thicc style. The seating situation is the only real downside. On weekends people end up eating all over the plaza--around the trees, on benches, basically wherever they can find a place to sit. Weekdays are definitely the move if you can make it. One thing to know before you get in line: people take their sweet time ordering here, and honestly I get it because everything sounds good. Just bring a little patience. The only thing I wish they'd asked was how I wanted my burger cooked. They asked what thickness I wanted but not the temperature. I'm always happy when a burger place asks if I want medium rare, medium, whatever. Next time I'll probably just tell them I want it medium rare. The burgers though? Fantastic. Especially if you're like me and getting a little burned out on every new place opening another expensive smash burger spot. One warning though... Don't plan anything after eating here. I was ready to go home, crawl into bed, and have happy BurgerTime dreams.

We did get the last DH burger (they make limited quantities each day). Overall, you'll be happy if you stick with the DH and an order of fries.

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.

I happened to be in the area, and even though I'd already eaten, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally drop in. Irv's originally opened in 1946 as Queen's Burgers, located right on Route 66 on Santa Monica Boulevard in WeHo, and was deeply ingrained in LA's historic car culture. In 1970, Irv Genis bought the stand and renamed it Irv's Burgers, and it quickly became a legendary late-night spot for rock icons like Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison. By 2000, Sonia Hong took over, famously hand-drawing doodles on the paper plates alongside her signature slogan, "Just for you." After closing in 2013 and again in 2018, Lawrence Longo partnered with Sonia in 2021 to bring the brand back to life. They've since expanded quite a bit, even opening locations in Malibu and Las Vegas. On a staff recommendation, I ordered Irv's Original Roadside Burger Double ($11.25). Honestly, it was just okay. While a certain amount of grease and salt is expected with a burger, this one crossed the line into being a bit too salty and oily. On the bright side, the sesame bun was excellent, and I loved that they kept Sonia's legacy alive by printing her classic doodles on the tray placemats. While I'm glad Irv's was saved from history and is expanding, the food itself felt pretty so-so. The outdoor tables were also a bit dirty during my visit. I still love that classic roadside burger stand aesthetic with the outdoor stools, but unfortunately, I won't be in a rush to head back.
