    Burger
    Christi I.

    The food came out hot! We ordered cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings and turkey taco. Service was efficient and quick. They seem to be pretty busy. Keep in mind that the parking lot is cramped. Turkey taco was small and dry. French fries were okay (perhaps...too salty) Cheeseburger was just okay. I couldn't get a real flavor profile and there wasn't a distinction from other burgers in that area. It's cool I tried it out.

    I've been a loyalCustomer since the TRUCK during Covid and when I say they NEVER disappoint !! The food is FRESH to order and the inside is just a vibe fromThe paintings to the CLEANING.. literally walked in on the young lady cleaning!! And her Service was over the top so welcoming. I love that !! Keep it up guys !!

    Bacon Cheeseburger - really good I liked it. Bun and bacon were perfectly crispy.
    Melinda B.

    I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. The bacon was cooked perfectly with a crispy texture. I loved that it was cooked flat. Over all the burger was very good. The bun was perfectly toasted. I also ordered nacho cheese fries, but received just regular cheese fries. I liked the cheese sauce. It's not your basic, canned yellow cheese. The fries were hot and I liked the thick, soft texture. Only grievance is not getting the nacho cheese fries I had originally ordered. I was a bit annoyed with that circumstance because I asked the girl behind the counter what the difference was between cheese fries and nacho cheese fries. She said the difference is the nacho fries had jalapeño. I ordered the nacho fries for the jalapeño. When I got the order, there were no jalapeños. I returned to the store and asked and she said I didn't order the nacho. I said, "Yes, I ordered the nacho ones." She said I didn't. I thought, okay she's gonna argue? Then she prints the receipt and shows me I "ordered" cheese fries. I'm like, what the heck. I guess she thinks I'm trying to steal jalapeños. Just because she didn't hear me. I did notice she was distracted and not paying close attention to me or my order, so that could be adjusted regards to customer service. She didn't get the order right bc she wasn't paying good attention. Then she said she'd charge for the jalapeños. I said I left my wallet in the car and she said "sorry" and had me go on about my day. That was really disappointing. I guess giving jalapeños would have broken the bank. I read a review where the counter girl got a drink order wrong, where she put ice in the drink when he asked for no ice, and then refused to re-serve it with no ice. Petty customer service will be the downfall if it stays like that.

    I first tried out Hotbox Burgers a few months ago with my dad and it definitely left a mark on me lol. It's located near exposition park in a small parking lot which if you don't look close enough would probably be easy to miss. It's an up and coming family owned burger joint that originally started out as a food truck and the young cashiers who are usually attending the register are kind and accommodating. It could be considered a sort of "ghettoish" area to some but for others like me who don't come from the hills or Calabasas it isn't bad at all. Inside there's a few benches while you wait for your food but other than that it's take out only. They accept apple pay too btw. As for the food, the burger is scrumptious! It tastes sort of like an In-N-Out burger but better with a chunkier patty and bun. The bacon-cheese fries are to die for as well, the nacho cheese they use for the fries is mouth watering! All in all 10/10 and definitely worth the 30 minute drive from Long Beach. Support your local businesses, you won't be disappointed.

    Chili cheese fries with pastrami, grilled onions
    Black W.

    Hot box has done it again S/O to destiny I love the chili cheese, fries, and pastrami

    So the message was no more phone orders and only online order How can I order online when everything shows out of stock.

    Claudia S.

    This burger joint also offers hot dogs and tacos. They even offer vegetarian and vegan burgers. The only issue is that there is no indoor seating. My hamburger was enormous. I definitely wished I hadn't ordered the double. The only issue is the bun. It didn't hold the homemade beef patties well and got soggy towards the end. Another thing is that their drinks are canned so I wish I had ordered two sodas. Regardless the beef burger was cooked deliciously and seasoned well. This place is right by the california science center and banc of california stadium so it's worth the visit for fresh homemade burgers.

    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!

I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS! It was so good I was pouring it on the last few bites of my burger. Do yourself a favor and get some classic sauce and pour that stuff right on your burger, you won't be disappointed! Check it out!!

Well, LA is blessed with exceptional burgers and this one is in the conversation. DH: First, you pick the style of the burger. I got the DH, a hefty 10-ounce dry aged beef patty - medium rare. Next, you select the accompaniments. With the Amboy, there are caramelized onions, American cheese, sliced pickles, Amboy sauce, and a toasted sesame bun. The beef patty is thick and plump, extra crispy on the edge (maybe slightly too much so). It is a bit too salty on the outside, while needing a bit more seasoning inside. It's medium on the edges, but nice pink and juicy in the center. Also, 10 ounces is huge, you're probably better off with one of the smaller patties or going with a double. The fries are tin and really crispy. They're nice, get them.

If you are wanting a better tasting burger with pretty much thr same ingredients, I would suggest The Shack in Playa Del Rey. The fries here got soggy because of how they put them in the bag. It's unfortunate that there is no where to sit and that's why the fries get soggy. Let's now talk about the process. They accidentally messed my order by missing fries. Not the end of the world but in order for them to correct their mistake, I had to take all the food they put in the bag and give it back to them. That means while I waited over 25 minutes for my order, I had to wait longer for them to see what's in the bag to see the mistake. Who is to say that if I was crooked, I would simply remove the fries from the bag. What this ultimately means is that now my family is eating colder food. I didn't even bother for the fries anymore since I didn't want to either have my food get colder or wait another 20 minutes for them to remake all the food. I simply wouldn't go back. I do hope they stay around because we are losing small business but the owners should really reconsider the policy for missing food.
