Montage of images from LA Buns
Ed U.

Doesn't it sound like the name of a 1970's TV detective show about undercover aerobics instructors starring Suzanne Somers and the Landers sisters? "FREEZE! Drop your weapons, buster! We're LA Buns!" But no such luck as it was a burger joint in the heart of WeHo. In a particularly weak moment after gazing at all the hardbodies on the floats during WeHo Pride, Jamie W. and I decided to indulge. No, not that way. Both of us ordered the $7.89 Chili Cheese Burger (photo: https://bit.ly/443FrH8), but we showed some modesty and shared the $4.89 French Fries (photo: https://bit.ly/3OnPhh6). We even had our limits. The burgers were more Sloppy Joe style than truly satisfying, but does it matter when the eye candy provided all the calories we could handle? OK, that sounded like we helped ourselves to... No, we just ate meat and carbs. That still didn't sound right, did it? FOOD - 3 stars...sloppy chili cheeseburgers if that floats your boat AMBIANCE - 3 stars...one of those roadside places with just outdoor seating SERVICE - 3 stars...fast and unmemorable TOTAL - 3 stars..."you're under arrest...we're LA Buns!" RELATED - Exploring LA? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2TWT63v

Taco
JX L.

The food here was absolutely bomb. I enjoyed myself a lot in here with my friend. We ordered 2 sodas, 1 burger, 1 taco plate, 1 side of fries. Total is like $32. Definitely enough food to take home. However, when I asked for utensils, the chef seems unhappy with me. Other than that, great experience.

Chorizo burrito. My fav

Love LA Buns! I get a kick in my step when I know I'm picking up my fav chorizo burrito from LA Buns. The egg to chorizo is on point: one ingredient doesn't overpower the other. The fries are made to order. Delish! Affordable prices and friendly helpful staff. A+

Great local go-to. Recently increased prices and reduced hours but they are still in business and an affordable local option.

Chicken burrito
Andrew S.

Great place to grab a bite after a night out with friends. I have to admit that I was a tipsy when I ordered a burrito from here one night. The Burrito was delicious and I also had a side of chips with salsa. My friends had the tacos and they said it was really good too. I actually want to come back and try the food when I'm completely sober lol. Then I'll really know if it's as good as I remember. The downside is that it's CASH ONLY...which loses a star. I'm NOT a fan of Cash Only places.....It's 2017!!! It's in very convenient location on Santa Monica Blvd. I'm guessing that a majority of their customers are from the Santa Palm Car Wash. Great way to wait for your car while it's being washed. Parking is street metered for the most part. Not sure if there are any areas without restrictions for parking. I'll definitely be giving this place another shot. More photos to come!

Worst service ever. Waited for food for an hour. They didn't call out orders, you just have to keep bugging them to ask for your food.

We showed up right before closing, fully ready to turn around and come back another day, but they…read morewere incredibly gracious and insisted it was no problem to still take our order, even though they were already in cleanup mode. The owner and host were genuinely kind, patient, and super helpful. They walked us through the menu, shared the story behind the restaurant, and pointed out new and interesting items. The food: amazing. We ordered the cheeseburger, the wild burger, and truffle fries. The cheeseburger and fries were absolute hits. My friend got the wild burger and he really liked it. Wasn't my favorite, but that's purely on me; I'm just not into sweetness on burgers. Totally a personal taste thing, not a knock on the quality. Overall, top stars and an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back, and I'll work my way through the entire menu.

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.

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!!

I found parking easily because I came right when they open. People were already dining inside so I think they open a little earlier. I asked the lady working the cashier which burger should recommend and she said all of them are good because they are known for their burgers. So I got the bacon cheeseburger and ordered the fries too. It didn't take them long to make my food and when I got back from picking up the coffee across the street, my food was ready for pickup. I took it home to eat it there. The bacon cheeseburger was okay but I did not like the fries at all. It was more crispy and crunchy but lack favor. Eating the bacon burger did not get messy at all. This burger place is nice to try once but I'll stick to my usual burger spot. They also charge a fee for paying with card which is unfortunate.
