    Latest Menu - January 2026

    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.

    Spicy Smash Burger
    Gabriel A.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Double smash burger
    Dan L.

    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

    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 !

    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!

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. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

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!

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.

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.
