Love the short rib burgers, so decadent and juicy. This place will guarantee hit the spot if you want a burger. It gets packed but it's a fast line. Someone get me one of their t shirts!!!

Very good burgers!…read more The sear and flavor were very good. The burgers come with caramelized onions, american cheese, house made pickles and heavy sauce. The combo of caramelized onion, heavy sauce and the sear of the patty is delicious. The fries were also very good and most of them were crispy. I will say, photos I saw before hand had my expectations pretty high. Although, the fries didn't meet expectations they were still really good. If you are near a Heavy Handed location don't contemplate, just go. You won't be disappointed.

Have I ever known what it's like to eat cookies like Cookie Monster? Well that's basically what I…read moredid today with Palm n' Patties beef tallow fries. WOW. They were so so good. I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile as they blown up on social media and today just felt like a burger and fries day and I have to say this is a place that lives up to the hype and more. I ordered the grilled smash and it was amazing. Perfectly balanced and delicious and the perfect size for me, not too big or small, not too greasy, packed a ton of flavor across the meat, cheese and perfectly balanced with their house sauce and pickle. Ate that one up too. I also appreciated their level of service in how they packaged up my order so nicely and with a great level of care, and hooked me up with a ton of fries too - they were overflowing when I opened the bag and still nice and hot when I took them home! Casual spot definitely is going to be on my list of go to regular spots for one of the BEST in LA. Hands down. I totally get it. You got something real special here Pn'P!!!

Mid!! It's so funny because everything always hyped in the Santa Monica-Venice area is always…read moreseverely mid. Being from LA, there's a lot of burger joints. My bf and I came once here and it was coo. I gave it another try on my own tonight and omggggg wish I didn't. There is a lack of CARE and QUALITY for the food. First off, it didn't taste fresh. This establishment preaches about the ingredients but the taste, care and freshness was completely off. And I ate it right away too. I also upgraded and paid an extra $1 for "hand-cut fries" as I was curious from last time, but they looked like the same fries as last time! They had no flavor and as you can tell by the photo, the fries are literally brown. I thought fries were yellow! Overcooked and no flavor. Lmao. The burger was OK. It was definitely greasy and didn't taste "healthy" to me. I mean I would've been better off eating at In-n-out for this carelessness. At least INO is consistent and actually tastes good. Do better!!!!

From the outside to walking in the front door, the decor and feel in HiHo says fancy burger joint…read more The inside is as minimal as their menu, but the mood is set by a lot of dark brown and stained wood which is a good thing. What surprised me was the prices but more on that later. The menu is streamlined and the choices are few. What HiHo does offer is simple done correctly. The Waygu beef is fresh and they do not over season the burger. They let the natural goodness of a quality beef patty do all the talking. There is plenty of flavor but the burger is not overly greasy. The buns are made in house, as well as the pickles and they both deliver. I love a burger with shredded lettuce. The French fries are prepared fresh and cooked to perfection for my taste. I like my fries slightly crispy and a little dark. They showed up well done and almost too hot to eat. I tried their in house sauce called "Matty Sauce" and still don't know how to feel about it. It was explained to me as their version of thousand island but there was an after taste to the sauce I still can't describe. I decided I didn't care for the sauce but never stopped dipping my fries in it. So in the end, I guess I ended up liking it? I feel you will either really like it, or really dislike it. I tried both the chocolate and vanilla shakes and preferred the vanilla. The shakes are made with house made ice cream and serve their purpose. I liked the fact they have a dispenser just for water and ice. Overall I say drop what you are doing and go get a HiHo Double. The most amazing thing about this burger is its simplicity and freshness. Two things that are often overlooked and/or not well done. If you want bells and whistles go elsewhere. If you want a really, really fresh and well made burger at In N Out prices, HiHo delivers.

If you're looking for a time sink, this is your place! The food is not equivalent to the time spent…read morewaiting. I'm willing to try this place again and by all means, the food was good. Service save for the encounter to follow was good despite it being busy. The gentlemen working the register and supporting him were kind. I just hope there is more care and attention to detail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Honestly could've saved time going somewhere else, originally came for Cava but they were closed due to a facility issue. Ordered at 6:23 and got our order at 6:54. They gave our order to 83 and to top it off they gave them their original order on top of the order that was originally ours. Order 83 had two fries and two burgers. Our order had two burgers and one fry. Working in service, I know mistakes happen (especially when it's busy) but how you go about correcting a mistake speaks more than the actual mistake. They apologized for their mistake but the execution of their apology was lackluster. They tried to give us a shake as if to make up for the fact we waited 30 minutes for our order. I declined. Really? Why give order 83 essentially 4 burgers and 3 fries in total but we're given a meager shake for a mistake we didn't make? I was given our order and the Asian guy at the counter handout was seemingly expecting me to walk away without saying anything. I was expecting the same treatment of being given for order 85, at least an extra burger or whatever for the trouble but no lmfao. At the very least give us an extra burger that would make the wait a bit more bearable. He grimaced as if asking for that small favor was going to pull it out of his paycheck.

"sunset hour" is every monday-friday from 3-6 pm and the food is delicious and all vegetarian!! :) drink prices are okay, but i would come back for a snack. the patio is also dog friendly! the crispy brussel sprouts were to die for! they added some nuts on top for a nice crunch, and who doesn't love manchego. the fox fries were also great, and had a nice crunch to them, as well as a good kick of spice! the chips and guac with the togarashi spice was something i didn't know i needed on my tortilla chips, we had to ask for more! the staff was very friendly and accommodating to our dietary preferences!! can't wait to come back

It was served on a brioche bun, which I wasn't ready for. I literally had to use a fork and knife to eat it because it was so messy. It did taste good though. We also had the fish and chips which were great. The place is super small. There's really only seating for like four people,. They seemed to have a pretty steady flow of people coming in to order or pick up their orders even though it was a Tuesday. If you do dine in and ask for water, they'll bring you a really chilled glass bottle and glassware to drink from which I also thought it was a nice touch.

Went to Black Sheep Burgers for lunch today. Don't be fooled by the name. They do not have any…read morelamb burgers. Although Black Sheep Burgers has a vast selection of hamburgers (they probably should have called the place Black Cow Burgers) I had a Chicken Katsu sandwich. It was very good. I liked the option of being able to decide what I wanted or didn't want on my sandwich when ordering. I don't like avocados, so I ordered my sandwich without avocados. There are also a vast number of sides to order if you are very hungry. I was tempted to order the 40's french fries, but the sandwich was enough for me. Professional eaters probably would have ordered several sides. There is a large seating area outside. I sat outside. Other than the traditional problem with eating outside (your napkin, like the answer, may blow in the wind) since Black Shep Burger gave me several napkins, it wasn't a problem.

The vibes are very classic oldies diner while still holding onto a modern look. Our server was very kind. I am not sure if they were short staffed when my group and I ate there, but service was quite slow. There were very few check-ins and no refills on my water. During our approximate hour there, our server stopped by twice, and we had to keep flagging them down afterwards. They were very warm every time we got their attention, though. Lastly, the food was very unremarkable. I ordered a Caesar salad and tried the Mac and cheese. The salad was fine, but the Mac was extremely bland. It needed significantly more seasoning for any oomph. We did not finish the Mac. Also, the prices are pretty high for the quality and flavors they offer. My chicken Caesar salad was 23 dollars! In short, mid flavors for their food, and slow service. 2/5 would not recommend.
