    Double cheeseburger, fries and Baja Fish tacos
    constance k.

    Ordered our double cheeseburger, fries, Baja fish tacos and a Barqs root beer at the counter and then grabbed a table. Hot summer night, but the covered patio felt cool enough to eat outside. Once our buzzer alerted our order was ready my so. Picked it up at the back of the restaurant. The cheeseburger did not disappoint! It's a classic burger with grilled onion that hit the burger craving my son had. My fish tacos were nice.. a but messy, but nice and crispy. Next time Id try the burger and of course the passers by with soft serve looked like a must try as well!

    We came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was busy but we were still able to get our food quickly and grab a table! The cashier who took our order was friendly and helpful! He made sure to tell us what they did not have at the moment and he was patient with us. We ordered a kids grilled cheese and fries for our toddler. We ordered a Modelo and a white claw. He gave me a nice cold glass for my white claw. For food, we got the lobster BLT and the ahi tuna pokè tacos. He gave us a buzzer to let us know when the food was ready and where to pick it up! He also told us they had a water station. We sat outside and even though it was hot, they do have fans that are blowing on you! They have seating inside as well. The food came out quickly and all of it was delicious! They have an area where you can throw out your stuff and to place the tray and glasses. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here!

    Not me realizing mid meal that this was JOEL GOTT WINE related - gott's restaurant!! I first tried just the ice cream here and knew I had to try the food. Best cheese fries I've ever had as they make the jalapeno cheese sauce in house!!!! But what really tied it together for me were the sweetest employees. Paula was so sweet checking up on everyone and recommending her favorite dishes. Whitney at the register was also incredibly sweet!!!! Also for the Diet Coke girls CRISPIEST DIET COKE EVER!!!!!! Definitely a good place to grab food when you're at the farmers market. We will be back to try the burgers and FROSE!

    I am absolutely obsessed with their AHI POKE CRISPY TACOS. Sushi grade tuna, avocado, cabbage, onions, sesame seeds, spicy mayo, cilantro slaw, and the crispiest taco shells you have ever crunched into. Insane flavor. I ate sweet potato fries with them and it was the perfect meal. The location is cute. There is a window to order ice cream, and indoor ordering area next to some seating, a separate bar and pickup counter, and outdoor seating galore. The staff is super friendly and will help bus your table when it's quieter. Their trash receptacles are well labeled to make everything easy. Everything my family had looked fabulous. The regular fries I stole off my mom's plate were slightly under-seasoned, but otherwise a revelation.

    Our friend had eaten at most of the Bay Area Gott's and was happy they put one at the Farmers Market. We finally found parking and ordered at the counter. Our food came out in about 5 minutes. I had the avocado chicken chopped salad which was delish. My husband had the western blue burger which he scarfed. We shared the yummy garlic fries. They validated parking too which made it FREE(under 90 minutes).

    The fries are absolutely incredible

    The food was in a league of its own!! However, the service was really what closed the deal! The staff goes above and beyond and truly made the experience that much better for us. Absolutely will be adding this into the weekly rotation!

    Gott's very first SoCal location opened at the Original Farmer's Market in Fairfax. I go to the Grove a lot and had been here way too many times already. The first thing I tried was the ahi burger with sweet potato fries. The other items I love are the chicken sandwich and Brussels sprouts. The ahi taco is also very good. I loved everything so far that I kept coming back whenever I get the chance. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. I love the ambiance and atmosphere here. Staff are very friendly. They already know me by name because I'd been a regular customer.

    I first tried Gott's in Napa about 10 years ago and was surprised to see they opened a location at the grove. We had the cheeseburger, baja fish tacos, and garlic fries. Everything was good-nothing spectacular, but solid dishes.

    Ice cream menu
    Lianne P.

    Good neighborhood spot for soft serve. Pretty extensive menus for topics. Not the best quality on the world but scratches the itch for $4-$5. The win-dow at the grove has better soft serve IMO with larger portion size. Staff was very nice, I asked for more sprinkles and they did their best! Will need to come back to try the full Menu. Seating inside and outside is nice. Inside is casual. Validated parking for the farmers market parking lot.

    Teriyaki chicken burger. Gruyère and caramelized onion burger.
    Leonard K.

    I've been wanting to eat at this place for so long, ever since I saw the sign go up at the Farmer's Market at the grove. It opened a few weeks ago, but I was on a budget back then, so I didn't try it. However, I went today, and it absolutely did not disappoint. This place is amazing. The first thing I did was try the cheese fried, and the cheese they have melted on top of them doesn't taste like any other cheese fry that I've ever had. It's a bit more rich and the texture is different, but they put things like jalapeños and other things in it (not sure exactly as I picked the artichokes and just ate the fries because they were in front of me). Next, the artichokes were so good. Half of them came fried, and the other half came boiled with some rubs on them. It was so good and the artichokes paired well with their aioli, along with their Portland sourced ketchup and mustard, hot sauce, their mayo too and also their spicy mayo. I took a bite of my friend's chicken sandwich. I don't like teriyaki. It was ok. It wasn't as sweet as other teriyaki places. But I still didn't like it, because it's teriyaki... if that wasn't on it, I would've probably enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked well. While I was debating between a Cuban sandwich and the Gruyère and caramelized onion burger, I was encouraged to go with the burger. It was phenomenal. The first bite had all the flavor you want out of caramelized onions, mixed with the joys that come with melted Gruyere. The bun has a nice texture to it. They fill up the burger so some ingredients fall out of it, meaning they aren't skimping on ingredients. And the taste is exactly what you want from a burger like that. The service is cool. You order at the counter, they give you a buzzer and you pick up your food from the other side. They have a self service water filter, which I like. The ambiance is chill and big. You can bring pets, but don't let them sit on the chairs, or someone will say something. Probably because all their furniture is absolutely brand new, so I get it, but my friend was a little taken aback by that. But yeah, solid place overall. Definitely coming back.

    Teriyaki Fried Chicken Sandwich. The bread was inedible.
    Ari R.

    Unfortunately Gott's LA is nothing like Napa. We ordered the Ahi burger, fried chicken sandwich, onion rings and a shake. The bread they use is this dry, crumbly, flavorless brioche. It ruined both sandwiches. Apparently they couldn't get the same bread down here so they are serving this. A potato bun would be far preferable or whatever bread they use at their other locations. The onion rings were like something you'd get at a miniature golf snack bar. Flavorless. I'm shocked that they opened without matching the quality of their other restaurants. I'd avoid for a year until they figure things out.

    Gott's is definitely in it's soft opening still with some kinks to work out - they were rearranging condiment placements today and weren't sure what to do for carryout containers - but I'm so glad they've come to the Farmers Market! Official opening isn't until March 6th so let them keep working on service issues until then! :) I love the vibes of Gott's which is quick & easy eating with indoor & outdoor seating. It's nice and chill to sit in their outdoor seats doing a bit of classic Farmers Market people watching. Very friendly staff and very on top of cleaning things up around the restaurant! I love that they offer a plain hot dog for $10 as I'm a basic girl. It gives me vibes of being at a friend's backyard BBQ. The sweet potato fries were so good! They are dusted with chili spice and that packs a punch but they come with housemade ranch sauce to weaken the blow. Gott's is known for their burgers first and foremost, so had to try their Californian and just loved it. It was a solid burger - not smash, no pub - just a good ol' 'regular' style burger! It came with a fried egg, gruyère cheese, Zoe's bacon, arugula, balsamic onions & mayo on a toasted sesame brioche bun. That argula was so nice and fresh that it added a really nice balance to the burger. Most important advice = do not sleep on their desserts! Their soft serve is legendary! I actually went with their Cookies & Cream shake made with real Oreos. Their hand spun shakes use organic ice cream & milk and goodness is it good! I had to stop myself from guzzling it down before my food was ready! I also tried their chocolate chip cookie because it looked so darn good sitting by their registers. Loved that, too! Overall I'm so happy Gott's has come to LA! It's a great new option at the Farmers Market with good vibes.

    Ahi tuna tacos are a MUST
    Breana A.

    Finally made it to the new location in SoCal and it was just as great as the NorCal locations. Zach (manager) and Whitney (server) provided great service to myself and those seated around me all evening. Super attentive, helpful, and personable. Got the absolutely perfect tuna tacos with their onion rings and the secret sauce + spicy mayo. Great combo paired with game 3 of the nba finals, couldn't ask for more. Can't wait to keep coming back.

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!!!

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!

The DH is probably one of the best chonky burgers I've had in a long time. It reminded me of an elevated fancy Big Mac in the best way possible, probably because of the sesame bun.

They have their own parking lot, but it's quite limited. Looks like part of it was under construction for expansion. Here's what I ordered: TATOR TOTS - $6 Fried crispy, tossed in old bay. Exactly how it's described and they delivered it--so good! SINGLE BURGER - $9 3oz patty with cheese, butter toasted bun, mayo, chopped chilies, onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce. Solid smash burger!!!!! Nuff said. I was sad they ran out of hand pies and that I because it was the end of the day. Need to come earlier for them.

    I've wanted to check out Irv's Burgers for a while now, but I never really had the chance until…read moretoday. 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.

To say I'm super bummed is an understatement. I am so thankful that I happen to stop by for lunch and visit this location one last time. The same manager was there on the last day as when I went the first time two years ago. The staff there was always amazing, friendly, and the food was incredible. I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.

    I was in the neighborhood and wanted a burger. I made an online order to Hawkins since I saw a long…read moreline and I couldnt find parking. Checked in at 5-10min. They said order wasn't ready. Waited another 10min, while I saw other people picking up orders, so I checked in again. Same response, not ready yet. Another 10min passed by, now I'm seeeing people who came after me get their orders before me. Asked the staff again for my order status. The order pick up window person shouted my name to the kitchen each time I checked in. Finally the 3rd time they responded, they start arguing, apparently my order was done a long time ago, and it was given to someone else. It took 30min to figure out that my order had already been done and given to someone else because there was no communication between the kitchen, order staff or pick up staff. no apology, just got my food after the argument 3minutes later...Food was average, definitely not worth a 30min wait.
