    Side of onion rings with a spicy chipotle dipping sauce $6
    Te-see B.

    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

    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.

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

    Single smash burger

    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

    Great food and great service. Had a single smash and it was amazing! Easy to get to and contact for a catering service.

    100% Angus single burger with cheese

    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!!

    So glad I finally stopped by to check this place out. Delicious burger and great service. I'll definitely be back again soon.

    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.

    Nobody does it like Gary!

Out of the five times I have picked up bagels here (ordered online and in person), only two have been correct. Three times I have brought home my orders open them up to find a missing topping. Today it was cream cheese. Last time it was avocado (a pricey loss). The people putting together the bagels need to be more conscientious about what they're doing and double-checking their accuracy. Also, the manager should be checking the order before it goes out. This is happening far too frequently for a To-Go food shop.

First off, the bagel itself deserves some love -- perfectly chewy with that classic NY-style texture (NY water really does make a difference). It had that fresh, slightly crisp exterior with a soft, satisfying bite inside. The Texas Brisket was tender and flavorful, with that rich, savory depth you want from good brisket. The Big City Pastrami Egg was equally comforting -- warm, creamy egg paired with soft, well-seasoned pastrami that wasn't overly salty. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Portion-wise, the filling might lean a little modest, but the quality absolutely makes up for it. It felt balanced rather than overloaded, and left us satisfied without feeling heavy -- perfect pre-movie fuel. If you're craving a well-made bagel sandwich with quality ingredients and classic flavors done right, this is a great stop. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

My gripe is their sandwichs are pretty heavy and packed with far and calories it's hard to find a healthier option. There's also no indoor seating and Burbank is very hot during the summer months. Decent coffee and beverage offerings so it's a good place if you're craving a bagel.

Their 100% naturally leavened bagels come in a a variety of flavors as do their spreads. I was really impressed by the amazing flow this dynamic duo brings with their kindness, quality and service including the demure mindful cutesiness of options, including a lot of vegan friendly ones. They use Kite Hill non-dairy cream cheese for their dairy free folks, which I'd had in the past, but not being a natural cream cheese person growing up I don't typically gravitate to, but might reconsider or at least anytime I find myself enjoying the bread goodness of The Sourdough Daddy. Typically they have up to three or so pop up's each month which are listed on their website as well as their Instagram. Being a small pop and pop shop with the magic of the awesome owner partner husbands, you can definitely see and appreciate the tlc they put into this growing shop on the go. Their black garlic bagel with vegan CC is a ten! With full loafs and bagels by the dozen also available as well. From a variety of breakfast style bagels to microgreens and classic style with a twist you'll definitely enjoy these daddy delights.
