Love Hour - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've always enjoyed Love Hour, but the recent renovation and new concept have made it even better. They kept the same fun atmosphere and great music while creating a space that feels refreshed. The food has honestly been my favorite part. Every dish I've tried has been excellent, and it's become one of those places I'll suggest whether I'm meeting friends for dinner, drinks, or just looking for a fun place to hang out. Such a great addition to the neighborhood and now my new favorite!!! read more

Great service. Sparse but intimate atmosphere. Unbelievable burger. Top three in the city! Delicious meat seasoned to perfection. Great tangy cheese to complement it. I even loved the bun! Really good fries, too. Decent selection of drinks. But you have got to try this burger. It is phenomenal! read more

Went with a pretty large group on a Saturday evening and the staff sat us pretty quickly. I ordered the smashburger and added on "my girlfriend is not hungry," which had an insane amount of fries, onion rings, and a few mozzarella sticks. The sides here are huge so it was good to share with others at the table. The onion rings had perfect batter and the fries were thin and crispy how I like! The burger had a really nice crisp to it and the bun was delicious! Soft and held everything together really well. Great value for a sit down spot on ktown. I really enjoyed the food. read more

When you get in the really small lot and don't want to park on your own, there is valet. Otherwise you would, have to wait on those that self parked or circle the block a few times. When you enter, it is confusing as there is signage for Love Hour, but that is the take out window only for to go orders. Maybe have another sign pointing the direction of Love Hour would help. When I walked in, there was no designated host. It is a lot more casual than expected. someone came up to me and I said "Hi. I have a reservation for 2 under Marie." The server asked, "What's the name under my reservation?" i was confused, but maybe he didn't hear me well. When we were about to be seated, the server looked around and saw 2 empty tables and asked us where we wanted to sit and I said that anywhere was fine. It seemed like that there isn't a clear system on how they seat guests. The food was full of flavor and very comforting. I got the Fried Chicken and it was so crispy on the outside with a small kick of spice and juicy and tender on the inside paired with a housemaid curry sauce. It was really tasty. I also ordered My Girlfriend's Not Hungry sides which was a fun upgrade and everything was cooked well. The steak on the steak frites just melted in your mouth along with the gravy. It was such high quality. The bar did a great job with the cocktail which was so light and refreshing. The entire service was a bit confusing as we had 3 different people help us. I don't even know their names because I don't think they introduced themselves. The lady server was really sweet and full of good energy. She checked on us a few times after the food was served. The other 2 seemed lost. When the steak frites was delivered, they forgot the steak knife. I had to call for water multiple times as the cups are really small especially with the heat we have now. When we were finished, I wasn't sure how to pay, I thought I had to get and pay at the register. I stood up and was still lost on how to pay until I was able to get ahold of server. What confused me even more was that I asked for to go boxes and still wasn't enough for any server to understand that I wanted to pay. Overall, the food is saving this establishment, but the FOH can improve a bit read more

Sensational burger. Affordable as hell. Dude the onion rings are amazing. I don't even like onion rings like that. No slimey interior onion that latches to your lip like a parasite. Just fried deliciousness. read more

Valet parking available , public street parking. Indoor / outdoor dining , full bar , no wait staff , order / pick up food at the counter. We sat outside to dine on metal stools and stainless steal prep table to eat on, Casual chill dining environment . Make sure to bring something to keep you warm during fall / winter season as night time temperatures can be unpredictable in the winter. My friend ordered the "Pink Drink " she mentioned she tastes vodka and coconut milk concoction. Miss picky liked her Pink drink as she usually is very particular and will not finish it if she doesn't like it. Yup!! All that's left was ice lol!! We each had a taste of Hazy IP beer which was new to most of us. It actually was a good tasting beer according to some of the friends who tried it . ( beer that is in its natural form that hasn't been filtered through) from my understanding from my friend's explanation. We each had smash burgers and fries to share with each other. Burgers were delicious and I really liked the onion rings extra crispy per request.. read more

2 double Burger, fish filet and fries $43. It's good but nothing stands out other than the fries and crisp ends of the burger. The burger has sweet pickles and raw onions 5/10. You can get it grilled for $0.50. The buns are good. The fish filet is a 5/10 buns are good. Fish was a bit lemony and had a wine taste. Not my cup of tea. Fries were pretty good 8/10. I wanted to get it seasoned but with garlic parmesan but it was +$2 or $3. Thought it would be +$1. But if I remember it was only for BBQ. Could be more option for the $1. But I like garlic parmesan. It's a window you order on the kiosks pad and pick up. You can I guess order at the window. They do have servers from what I saw. The lady at the window was nice and friendly. Parking sucks! Super tiny maybe about 10 spots. There is a Valet next door not sure how much. Parking on street does suck also. read more

Came in to use the photo booth but there was a like so decided to have a drink while we waited. Service was quick and only disappointment was no slushies that day but other drinks were also just as good. Drink came pretty fast. the vibes inside are super chill. Even with the open door you can't see the hustle and bustle of ktown outside which is nice. Not a lot of parking so gotta find parking elsewhere. It was so cute how they decorated for Valentine's Day. If I lived in the area I would definitely come visit here for drinks often. read more

What We Ordered - 2 Singles - Fries - Onion Rings - Love Hour Sauce We have walked and drove by this place for months with lines out the door. We thought it was a bar but we soon realized it was a burger joint (with a bar lol). We were a bit confused on where to order and ended up walking back to the front window. The 3 pick up window signs threw us off. Love the burger!! Fries were very crispy. The only thing that was miss for me was the onion rings. Some pieces had thick batter which made it soggy. Definitely coming back to try their fish sandwich! read more

Always have a great time at this bar in K-Town. They have a parking lot as well as valet, but usually I do street parking and walk over. The drinks are pretty good and strong, and the bartenders are always a vibe. Gay friendly with a dance floor, smoking area, Photo Booth, and great burgers. I always get the espresso martini here and my friends have had their white claws with some bitters added (don't knock it til you've tried it) read more

Love Hour is a hidden gem in Koreatown. The location is perfect because many other bars are nearby to explore. The inside is quite roomy with plenty of seating while the outside area stays lively and crowded. The bartenders are very friendly and provide great service. The double burger is a standout for 11 dollars. It has a unique and delicious flavor with a slight hint of curry. This taste might come from the mustard but it works perfectly with the meat. The pickles are very crispy and provide the right amount of acidity to balance the meal. It is a top tier Koreatown burger. While they no longer offer 10 dollar soju, the overall atmosphere and food make it a great spot for a night out. read more

Love Hour - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dang I miss the setup of the former Love Hour pre-renovation. Staff and bartenders were really great and kind but not allowing to eat at bartop at a bar restaurant is one of the most insane rules. Staff seemed conflicted and uncomfortable to explain the WHY of it when we'd point out it's a very silly rule that's probably losing a decent amount of diners/drinkers. Outside was too hot to sit and so we were essentially were waiting around at bar top for tables to open up watching everyone eat around us. No one was sitting at the bar because they wouldn't be able to eat. We saw people leave who wanted a drink and a bite but couldn't due to the full tables. For this formerly being a beer bar, the new beer selection is very small and quite abysmal. Get Blue Moon off the menu, this isn't 2011. With so many great local beers, this was a bizarre one to see on there. Hopefully the new owners improve overall operations of this place. Food is still good, the host, server, and bartender were all great and the only things holding this place up. read more

Gotta be one of the best smashburger spots in the area! There's an outdoor patio, as well as an indoor bar area with a lot of open seating. Food was phenomenal here and came out so quickly! We ordered the double smash burgers, a side of fries, and a side of onion rings. Portions are hefty and everything tasted so good. Although its located in a busy area, the spot is deep within the street so its not too loud or hectic at the storefront. The workers were friendly and provided recommendations and their popular sauces for us to try. read more

Love Hour - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I liked it. Great smash burger. Koreatown run club meets here on Thurs nights. After the run I was both hungry and thirsty. Got the smash burger and it was great. Nice, simple burger, great smash charred bits at the edges. Also got the onion rings and they were solid. I got the garlic Parmesan flavor added to the onion rings but I didn't taste much of it, so probably just stick with regular next time. There's a bar right next to the burger window. Chill place to have a beer or drink. Inside there's booths for seating. A few TVs to watch a game. Additional seating in the patio area. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's a small lot in front that's always full or a pay lot next door. It's Ktown so street parking is a bit hard to come by. You might have to walk a block or two. read more

Love Hour - Double smash burger + onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My cousin and I have been making a point to find burger spots all over LA to find our favorite spot. I was excited to give this place a try since a lot of people have been raving about it and it was pretty good. This was one of the first smash burgers I've had where you actually get a crispy char around the edge of the beef patty. The bun was also nice and soft, which allowed the crispiness of the patty to add a nice texture. My only issues was there was barely any sauce on the sauce when they advertise how great their "Love Sauce". I definitely want to go back to give them a try and let them know about my last encounter. The fries were amazing and I ended up eating every single one of them. Definitely a nice addition to the burger. We sat at their bar while we were eating and had food conversation with the bartender that was currently working. read more

First of all the location and the vibes at this location was amazing. You can order your food and sit at the bar and have a beer while you wait. We came because we watched a IG video and they said Love Hour was the #1 smash burger in Los Angeles and they didn't disappoint. The burger was crafted beautifully and the onion rings were tasted like they dropped them in fresh batter and fried them in fresh grease. The service was amazing and I spoke with the employees afterwards and they were cool and spoke with us about their gratitude. I will come back here for sure. read more

Just found love hour despite living in the area for almost a year and my partner living here for almost 8 years!! I wish they had better signage or advertising because I wish I would've known about them sooner. The sour cream and onion fries are out of this world. They remind of five guys in terms of how generous the portion sizes for the fries are! I loved their single burger as a lover of raw onions there were so many and it was delectable. If you don't LOVE onions you may want to ask to go light. My only tiny complaint is the chicken sandwich was a little dry but this could be fixed by asking for a little extra sauce. I can't wait to return. read more

RAW CHICKEN NUGGETS. My fiancé and I used to always go there before the remodel and went to try out the new version. We ordered their chicken nuggets and the chicken was raw. We each only ate one but now I worry about the salmonella I'm ingesting. They gave us new nuggets after letting them know but they were super burnt. I don't know if they were being thorough or passive aggressive. We each ordered the double smash burger but I ordered mine with no pickles. I waited a long time for mine. I saw my fiancé's burger and every side we ordered arrived before my burger. I had to remind them. When it finally came, it had pickles. Not slices. Big chunks of pickles. There was also way too much house sauce to the point where I had to wipe a lot off. The waitress noticed that too. They tried to make it right by comping our nuggets but the smash burger and environment just isn't as good as it was before they remodeled. Also, RAW CHICKEN NUGGETS. read more

I went to Love Hour in Koreatown which is a fun bar that also serves really good smashburgers. I got the triple smashburger with onion rings and it was huge and so good, honestly 10 out of 5 stars, I would say it is on par with For The Win. The onion rings had the perfect batter, easy 5 out of 5, and my friends ordered the chili cheese fries which came in a generous heaping portion for the price. The regular fries were really crispy and nicely seasoned too, another 5 out of 5. You order from the window outside and there is a patio where you can chill and eat, inside is a bar with curated cocktails. I tried the Lusty Lady, a lychee sour with egg whites, and it was super good, 5 out of 5, you can tell the bartenders know what they are doing. They also have a cute photobooth inside, about $7 for a strip of four shots, which is a fun bonus with your night out. read more

Love Hour - Triple Smashburger w/ Onion Rings - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Smashburger/bar spot in a busy area of K-town. The vibe here is lively since it is a full on bar attached to an ordering window where you order delicious burgers from a simple straightforward menu. The prices are very reasonable here in my opinion. I'm a fan of smashburgers in general and I've been wanting to come to the spot for a while now. I wanted to try a bunch of different things so when I came here, I got a single smashburger, some onion rings, some chicken nuggets, and a root beer to wash it down. The burger was delicious with just the right textures that you would expect in a good smashburger. The onion rings and chicken nuggets came out crispy and also very delicious. I love the sauce that comes with the chicken nuggets. This place took over an old spot that used to be Beer Belly. Lots of fond memories of that place with craft beer and friends, but I digress. I believe the new place is still under the same ownership. Since it is the heart of K-Town, the parking to get really, really tough here as you would expect. I got lucky and saw a spot around the block. read more

Pros -Burger was well seasoned and cheesy -Very good fries and ranch -Self Order makes it easy Cons -chili cheese dog was just meh -Parking is a little tight -Seating is inside a bar Service: -You order at a kiosk outside the building and have to come back to pick it up. Wait time was about 20 mins for two burgers and a dog -Bartender was nice and very quick Main Dishes: -Super good burger, meat is tender and well seasoned. A little crispy if you like that. Was a tad dried out but too bad -Fries were just the right blend of chewy and crispy on the outside -The ranch was phenomenal, very strong dill flavor, which I like -Chili dog was just okay, nothing exceptional but scratched the LA hotdog ich Price/portion/Taste: Portions are good, fairly sized for a smash burger. Price is middle range as well. $11 for a double patty Conclusion: I would absolutely come back, one of the best burgers I have had! read more

Never a type of person to go out of my way to leave a review but customer service was right on! food too 10/10 for sure will be back soon !

Love Hour is a name that might be confusing at first but then I think I kind of understand it after having tried their amazing smash burger. This burger was juicy, tasty, and just overall good. I'm assuming they named it Love Hour because you'll fall in love within the hour and just think about this burger all the time wanting and needing to get more of it. Yes, it is that good and it is in Koreatown Los Angeles area. Try their onion rings and also their chili fries. They are so delicious. I came here for a friend's birthday party and had a blast eating the burger and just overall enjoying the food. If you want to enjoy a good burger this is the one and you need to come to K-Town! read more

Love Hour - Burger and chili fries yes - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I ordered Love Hour through Postmates and paid about $30 in delivery, service fees, and tip because the restaurant is not close to me. The order included multiple items, but one of the burgers was missing. Postmates did not provide an option to report the missing item or request a refund, and there is no phone number or direct way to contact the restaurant (I did send a message via Instagram but am not optimistic about a response). As a result, the only way to address the issue would be to go to the location in person, which defeats the purpose of paying extra for delivery. They also close in 5 minutes and won't be open again until 5pm on Wednesday (3 days from now). The items that arrived were correctly prepared, but the missing burger and the lack of support options created a significant inconvenience. Hoping that someone from the team will reach out to resolve this. read more

Got lucky and was able to snag street parking outside, but if you can't get street parking, you have 2 options: a tiny lot with maybe 10 spots at most in front of the restaurant or valet parking ($10). There were 2 benches and tables outside the ordering area to sit while you waited for your food. Once we got our food, we were able to go inside and find other seating. Bathroom was clean‼ As for the smash burgers, the patty was thin and crispy. The only thing is that the sauce was not consistent between all our burgers. Mine was kinda dry while someone else's was dripping in sauce. read more

This hands down has to be one of my favorite smash burger spots in LA now. We got two smash burgers as well as their chicken parmesan sandwich that came with spaghetti on top... it was amazing. The buns were soft and fluffy, burgers were smashed perfectly with pickles sauce and cheese added. The Chicken parm sandwich was insanely good and i recommend anyone to try that if you like spaghetti and chicken. The fries were also great and lots of dipping sauce to choose from. They have an outdoor ordering area and then you can also sit outside on a patio or inside the bar that is connected. They also have a photo booth located inside the bar! This would be a perfect date spot. The staff was super friendly as well. I will be back!! read more

Pricing and portions are as expected. Depending on the day of the week there can be a long line and even with no wait they can sell out of certain items like the chicken sandwich. The fish sandwich is good but you can pass. The onion rings are fantastic. The smash burger so solid. The best part of the burger is that it isn't greasy unlike many other spots. 4.5 review that I will round up since there is no reason not to for this fast casual spot with only covered outdoor seating behind a bar. Staff is nice. Some parking available. read more

My girl and I came here last nite for our first and most definitely not our last time!! Everyone was super chill and positive and just nice. Wendel our bartender made me a proper old fashioned and made us feel at home from the first minute we arrived. Milhouse was spinning rico tunes that we were just eating up, chef kiss. Then we met Raul and spoke with him for a minute,super chill. Mike the owner came by and invited over to his other bar a few doors over. The onion rings were in the top three I've ever eaten and the fries were on point also. Overall we were made to feel like rock stars in a world of mediocrity at Love Hour. Thank you! read more
