Dreams really do come true! And whatever you do, don't skip the elote. It's so fragrant and tasty. Then save room for dessert because the warm brownie banana bread, fresh from the oven, is the perfect finale. What really makes this place special isn't just the food - it's the vibe. It feels less like a restaurant and more like a neighborhood backyard party where everyone knows each other. The owner greets regulars by name, welcomes first-timers like old friends, and before you know it, you're chatting with the table next to you while burgers sizzle on the grill. Some places serve great burgers. This place serves great burgers AND makes you feel like you belong. It's easy to see why it's become one of our favorite hidden gems. 100% will be coming back again and again.

Cons: I got the adult chicken tenders with fries. Too much breading on the tenders. Reuben sandwich with fries and the chicken soft tacos were bland and needed more seasoning. The onion rings were way too big and couldn't finish them all but tasty. It was all bar food and it was around $90 dollars and not good food at all. It was disappointing and won't be going back.

I first fell in love with The Win-Dow at the original Venice location. There was something special…read moreabout whispering sweet nothings into that little ordering window, then walking over to another little window to receive your heavenly gift: a crispy, juicy, delicately cheesy burger on a soft bun--all for under $10. I've traveled around and tried a lot of burger joints. It's honestly hard to fuck up a burger, but it's also hard to make one truly memorable. The Win-Dow captures exactly what an LA burger should be: quick, simple, delicious, and affordable. Now they have locations throughout Southern California, including this one in Long Beach--which I especially like because it isn't surrounded by hundreds of hipsters. It's in one of my favorite parts of Long Beach, where you still get those laid-back beach-town vibes. The staff is usually pretty straightforward. Smiling must be considered an "ick" nowadays, but no worries--I'm here for the burgers. There's a chill little area outside the pickup window where you can eat, or you can drive a few blocks to the beach and enjoy it there. For the quality, simplicity, and price, The Win-Dow is genuinely one of my favorite burger joints. When you consider everything--not just the burger itself, but the experience and value--this could possibly be the best burger in LA.

My cousin who lives by Long Beach recommended to try this place, and I 1000% recommend this place…read moreif you are in the Long Beach area by 2nd Street. This place did not disappoint for a burger joint. I ordered just a a simple cheeseburger and got the crispy brussels sprouts and wow just wow. The crispy brussels sprouts was actually pretty tasty and the perfect crispy. It is not soggy at all more than crispy like some restaurants do when offering crispy brussels sprouts . It also was seasoned simply but still tasted so good. The cheeseburger was also just a simple cheeseburger, but it was so good and cooked perfectly to my liking with burgers. I had some of my cousins fries with the jalapeno ranch and house ranch to try and I def recommend trying the sauces they have. I also tried my cousins shake (the chocolate s'mores) and it was quite tasty that I kept taking a few sips of it. Overall, 1000% recommend when in Long Beach. I believe they do have another location somewhere else in SoCal according to my cousin, but I am not too sure where.

I tried the Metallica burger and it was a great bacon burger with avocado. Very filling barely had room to eat my hand cut fries. The space is super cool and the music playing is excellent.

What an unexpected but delightful dining experience…read more Initially, we had our names down for a popular cafe but decided last minute to eat here for beer and burgers. Great choice. At entry, it was awkward. Bartenders/workers avoided eye contact and no greeting. I told my partner we'll just go back to the cafe for our spot bc this was so awkward. A patron heard and told us to just seat ourselves. ...had I left, I definitely would've given this place 1 stars for such awkward service .... Anyway, I'm assuming the owner, who was also at the bar gave us menus once we sat down. Ordered tuna nachos, fish tacos and a burger. Tuna nachos -surprisingly fish was fresh and tasty. This was a very tasty dish. Fish tacos, I didnt try but my partner said it was delicious and very filling. My burger, I request medium but it came out well-done. Not too big an issue since burger was still yummy. Solid dishes. Lots of regulars it seems. A great food establishment with lots of beers on tap, tv's and great window seating.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

We stopped by here because it was late and they were still open. Another reason I wanted to try it…read morewas because they served poutine, and I'm always on the lookout for places that offer it. It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Crispy, golden, and so good. I really appreciate that Bunz is seed oil free and sources only the highest-quality ingredients. It's so nice to find a place where you can enjoy an amazing burger while also feeling good about the quality of what you're eating. And to top it all off, everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. Great food, quality ingredients, and genuinely great service. Bunz is definitely a favorite!

I can't say I'll go out of my way to eat here [in person], just because when I dine out I prefer a more traditional 'dining out' experience, but I certainly recommend it if you're in the area, and it will be on the list the next time I'm around and want to just chill with a burger and a beer with a friend or two. Pricing didn't upset me much - $75 for three people, which included two sides, a beer, a fountain drink, and a shake, in addition to our main orders. So, not bad for 2026. Big ups for the free pickle slices, too. :)
