    Love the burgers here! Great place for a great smash burger. The owner is always here always working hard. Very chill place to hang out and grab a burger. In the summer the patio is great too.

    I was starving, looking for a new place for lunch, searched Google maps in my location and found LETS SMASH. I'm always looking for a good burger, had to hit this place up, it had good reviews and I'm glad I did. Got their spicy burger, jalapenos and spicy sauce. I wish I would have made it a double, it was so damn good. I got it with their regular fries and my wife said they tasted just like McDonald's fries. They were good! Friendly people, nothing to complain about, we'll be back, gonna bring the family. Next time, I'm getting the double!

    10/10 Hands down.... Let's Smash is the best burger I've ever had anywhere. The burger tastes so good and it melts in your mouth. Blows In n Out, or any other burger joint out of the water. This place is truly a hidden gem on Ventura Blvd. The lady in the front is super sweet, I love how calm and chill she seems. Definitely a vibe. I will be back every time I'm in the area. Only thing I'd personally change about this place is carrying Coke products instead of Pepsi. Thats just a personal preference. Still, all time BEST BURGER.

    Stopped here for a quick bite and somehow lucked out with meter parking right in front . This is impressive for such a busy street. I got the spicy smash and everything tasted super fresh, hot, and well seasoned. The burger had a good kick without overpowering the flavor, and the fries were crispy. It was so good the meal never made it home. I ended up eating it in the car before even pulling off. This is a great spot when you want a fast and satisfying burger that still tastes fresh and made-to-order. I'll definitely be back.

    New Menu!

    Great burgers! Go for the double patties! (They get smashed pretty thin.) Tater tots are the best!

    Spicy Smash Burger

    Lately I've been on a burger runs; chasing good smash burgers , so I stopped at Just Smash on my way home. Ordered the Spicy Double Smash. - Flavor: solid cheesy burger, but the "spicy" was really just jalapeños (can't recall anything else being spicy about it). Nothing else gave it much kick. That was a little disappointing . - Atmosphere: inside felt a little sketch, but they've got a nice outdoor seating area that made up for it. - Overall: not my favorite, but not bad. Personally, there are a few other spots I'd hit before coming back here.

    We were in the area on a whim and were craving burgers and Lets Smash did not let us down. The parking was a little tough, but we ended up finding parking in the neighborhood a short walk away. We walked in and the menu is not overwhelming - it's basically smash burgers a few different ways, simple. The owner was working the counter and was very accommodating with recommendations, and suggestions and then eventually he came out and was talking to us while we were eating, sharing his entire Lets Smash story. It really refreshing when owners take the time to speak with their customers and I love hearing the stories behind how they got started. LEt's talk food, there was so much flavor in the burgers, the were just the right amount of crisp and crunch to with juicy meat. The buns were toasted perfectly, and the fries and tater tots were seasoned just right and also with just the right amount of crunch and soft warm inside. It was a nice day outside and we sat on the patio, it was the perfect combination for the day.

    I ordered a single and double burger with curly fries, it was really good. I'm not really a huge burger person but I will definitely come back here to try the spicy smash burger. Service was great. Ambiance was very casual. I didn't give it 5 stars because I think the price per burger is a bit too expensive for the size. For 2 burgers with fries it was $32, way too expensive . But overall burger was really good. I recommend if you're around woodland hills !

    Smash Burger (triple patty)
    Akisha E.

    Good burger. But basic. Nothing really special about it. Just a soft buttery bun, grilled onions, pickles, cheese and triple patties. The Cajun fries were not it for me. Just skinny fries was "flavorless" Cajun seasoning. Again, nothing bad about the burger. It was good, just hella basic.

    Solid 3. The outdoor area is not the best, yellowish beaten chairs and metallic tables make it look a little dirty. The service was quick and friendly. I would not consider anything with ketchup in it a smash burger. Onions were mostly raw. But the burger tasted good. Not an authentic smash burger but worth a try at least once. One and done to me

    Double Smash Burger Combo With Curly Fries
    Blaise H.

    The BEST smash burger/burger in general that I have ever had! They are so flavorful and juicy which is what a lot of other smash burgers are lacking. There is street parking right in front. The seating is casual, you order at the front and then choose where you would like to sit. I really liked the outdoor seating at the front. The service was excellent. I also appreciated the menu's variety of options. I liked the option to do spicy or regular and add/take off items. I also like how there are options between fries, curly fries, and onion rings. We tried the regular fries and curly fries and they were some of the best I have ever had! This place is addicting and I am already planning my next trip!

    Great spot for a classic smash. Very nice little place with great service and awesome food. Can't wait to go back. The burger was super juicy considering the style of burger and had that slight flavor crunch in every bite.

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!

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.

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.
