5 stars great burgers! Great for any event super fair pricing would suggest for anything

Brian A.

This experience was completely unexpected and completely unforgettable. It's not a brick and mortar nor full-size food truck but a small camper-like shop just off Van Nuys Blvd adjacent to the tire shop. The owner made it a wonderfully personal experience by making it clear what pride he takes in his food. And damn well he should! Forget just smash burgers, this is easily one of the best burgers I've had in over 20 years in Los Angeles. The seasoning in the meat was incredible. Other than that, it's just American cheese, burger sauce and grilled onions. Fabulous. Savored every single bite. The fries were also great, but I'd go back again and again and again for their burger.

Side of onion rings with a spicy chipotle dipping sauce $6

Gary is awesome. He makes the best angus beef and ground chicken smash burgers. And while we are at it, make sure to order a side of his crispy onion rings and fries. Set alongside the street in front of the Happy Rabbit Bar just off of Van Nuys Blvd, you can enjoy a cocktail and some food provided by Gary. He is super friendly and serves your food with a big smile! *Prices are reasonable *Food Truck only *Located just north of Magnolia Blvd and Van Nuys Blvd on the east side of the street

A pleasant surprise. Last night was at my favorite watering hole and Gary came in with samples of his smash burger. I am a bonafide smash burger junky and this is definitely one of the best that's coming out of a tiny little trailer. The beef is perfectly seasoned and the sauce on it is amazing. I had one burger there and got another to have when I got home. If you see the tiny little trailer do yourself a favor and stop and try it!

Best burger I ever had in my life so friendly and amazing food totally recommend the food is not greasy and it taste so good

Stopped by and smelled something amazing in the air, it was Gary's burgers! I have never been but live in the area and I've always wanted to stop by. The owner was extremely hospitable and very knowledgeable about everything that he uses in his recipes. Everything is made from scratch, the house sauce is addicting! From the first bite of the burger, it was crispy edges, but tender on the inside and the American cheese melted perfectly. The burger was loaded up with sauce and cheese, and it just melted. I am so impressed with everything from start to finish. I will definitely be back! If I could give more than five stars I would! THANK YOU!!

Holy crap, you gotta try this stand. Van Nuys Boulevard just leveled up by like 33% because this place exists. The food is simply fire just like their sign says. The single smash patty is exactly the right amount of indulgence -- any more and I'd probably feel guilty, but this hits the sweet spot. What really makes this spot shine is the owner. I don't know how he does it, but he makes every single customer feel like they're the star of the show and I enjoyed bantering with him while having my burger and beer. Great food, great vibes, and honestly, the whole neighborhood feels a little cooler now that this place is here.

probably one of the best smash burgers ive had. i was passing on the opposite side of the street, was curious what the hell that was. made a u turn and pulled up immediately. i am so glad i did because i was far from disappointed. the burgers are well seasoned, full of flavor, the sauce is slapping. getting bites of the onion rings and the seasoned fries combo ignites your taste buds. the burgers come out fast and not over cooked. gary has a great things going for him. if you see this little trailer sitting on a corner swing around and grab one. read more

Such a random find, but so happy to have discovered this cute burger cart! If you can't find them, call the number. Absolutely delicious smash burgers with a great angus patty. Not many smash burger options around, so you don't want to miss this one. The onions are really what bring this burger together -- it's all in the great flavor of the sautéed onions. Gary, the burger man, is so welcoming and overall great vibes! The service was incredible and quicker than expected too. This is worth a try, so stop by! read more

So I bumped into this Smash Burgers food truck. I'm starving. Let's do it. I've had my share of smash burgers throughout the valley and LA. I ordered a double cheeseburger, double cheese, grilled onions(the cute diced ones...they taste different! lol) , and smash sauce. Such an amazing smash burger. So juicy, so flavorful and it was perfectly smashed... not too thick and not too thin. French fries are the wedges, so crispy and good. Cant wait to bump into this truck again! read more

Genuinely upsetting experience... where to start..? The operator greets me and my bud with a charming and disarming smile and nod as if to imply that he is a kind and harmless person with no intention of changing the world as I know it. My buddy orders the Double Meal and I order the Lamb out of curiosity, both with halfnhalf fries/onion rings. This dude whips out whole russet potatoes and smashes it through the juienne press like he was swiping a cridit card. Bing, bang ,smash.. he hands us or burger meal boxes and a bottle of his signature sauce and says its easier if you just serve how much you want.... I dip a perfectly fried crispy onion ring in this sauce for a nibble and immediately the jig is up! This sauce SMACKS and we've walked right into his trap. I accept my fate and now I'm ready to see what this burger is all about. First bite;my eyes naturally flutter closed, second bite; I'm literally week in my knees. Third bite; I realized I haven't breathed since the onion ring and I have to sit down and force labored breath through my nose. Before I know it the burger is only a memory and I can't get over the flavor blend of the lamb with the cheese with the sauce with the onions and I know I can never look at another burger the same. It's truly reckless the way this place just hands these things out like another chit knowing darn well I'm going to have to pretend I'm enjoying in n out or islands or the habit with my wife while I'm dreaming of that lamb burger and that special sauce... in all seriousness DON'T SLEEP ON THE LAMB! Without a doubt I will be back. read more

I got a carne asada quesadilla plate (comes out rice, beans, and a salad). There are no prices anywhere, which I don't exactly like, but alas. The total came out to 42 dollars. Service - very friendly girl took my order. Salsas - there were 4 or 5 and they were all delicious! I think my favorite is the spicy, very watery red one. Asada tacos - my husband said they were good Al pastor - my husband did not really care for these. He said it tasted like warmer tray pastor rather than fresh trombol pastor, which wss probably true, as I saw no roasting meats. Bummer. Quesadilla - probably one of the best I've had in a while! The perfect amount of cheese and meat. Some places overdo it and you can't even pick the thing up without it falling apart. Some places are skimpy on the meat. This was just right. Rice - flavorful and cooked well Beans - probably my new favorite beans. They're on the loose side and have great flavor. Salad - I didn't really eat it. It was just a little plop of shredded lettuce, a few diced tomatoes, two slices of avocado, and I think sour cream. I ate the avocados and that was it. Overall, glad to have finally tried this spot. Will definitely be back to try sopes and a couple other things. Wish they had posted prices and that my husband liked his Al pastor more so I could actually get him to go back, but alas.

There are tons of plants, plenty of comfortable seating, and access to outlets and Wi-Fi. Service is good, and everyone working here has been friendly.

This cafe surprised me. It's looks so unassuming from the street but the back patio is huge and…read moredecorated like a garden. We were greeted by a really friendly and fun cashier. He guided us thru a few options before we settled on matcha lemonade, and a seasonal drink: mango-tango matcha. Deliciously flavorful and creamy, but tbh it is somewhat rich and dessert like. If you aren't planning to get a pastry, this is more than enough. For pastries, selected a pistachio croissant and what was called a NY roll. The croissant was good and nicely flaky. The roll was crisp and the filling was creamy, but we didn't really care for the glaze (white chocolate?) on the outside. It gave a somewhat stale mouth feel (although the pastry was absolutely fresh). It just didn't hit my tastebuds. Perfect spot to hang with your friends and spend time gossiping and solving the world's problems.

The staff are nice, and I enjoy the vibe of the place. There is one table inside and two outside. My order total was $14 for two drinks with toppings. Strawberry Yogurt Slushy w/ Crystal Boba: I love the yogurt flavor, and it pairs so well with the strawberry. The balance is perfect. There are real strawberry chunks included in the drink, and it comes with crystal boba. It's my favorite drink from this place. I find that 70% sweetness is perfect. Peach Lychee Slushy w/ Lychee Jelly: Refreshing drink! The flavor doesn't taste artificial, and the salted foam adds to it (you can remove it if you want). 30% sweetness is still sweet, and I have a mega sweet tooth.

These smash burgers are spectacular! I mean seriously... from the perfectly grilled onions, to the seasoned bun, and an epic amount of burger meat in each one, Smashers is one of the best smash burgers I've had in LA. We had a taster, then one burger, then two more, and even wound up with one to go They have a beef, lamb, chicken, and veggie option. We tried the lamb for one of our five burgers which was also fantastic. Really juicy and not gamey at all. Would absolutely recommend. The owner was so kind as well. He offered to cut up our burgers, brought them all over to the bar, and even threw in some sinful onion rings and fries. Will absolutely smash and Smashers again read more

Smashers Truly Fire Burger is exactly that -- TRULY FIRE! I had the Angus Smash Burger and a side of onion rings, and wow -- every bite was perfection. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right with that perfect smash sear. The toppings were fresh, the bun held together like a champ, and the flavors just hit! The onion rings were crispy, golden, and had that addictive crunch that makes you keep reaching for more. Friendly service and fast, too. Definitely my new go-to spot for a next-level burger fix! read more

Absolutely delicious burger...the whole package! I passed by to see a small, charming shack that sold reasonably priced smash burgers...I had to stop! Happy I did too. This spot may seem unassuming, but don't let that fool you, these burgers are the real deal. Great, personable service, convenient locations, outstanding food, low prices...what more could you ask for? (try it, and try the smash sauce) read more
