This place is the best . Best smash burger…read more Best breakfast burritos i have ever had..not hyperbole. I was a Corner Cottage lover until it was sold and it went off the cliff. Albert, his dad and Gio (hope i spelled it right) are the coolest. I recommend this spot to everyone. I eat there at least twice a week for over a year now. Found it by accident.

I found Curbgrill through Yelp and decided to give it a try…read more I ordered their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. It took almost 40 mins to come out. I was also on my lunch break from work and by the time I drove back to work , my lunch had ended already. With that said the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was good. Decent flavor , could use a little more seasoning in my opinion. Service wasn't the best. Unfortunately , like I said , it did take a long time to get my food. It seems like they were in a rush but people who came after me got their food before me? I didn't understand that. Ambiance was okay. Not much seating inside. I also heard one of the workers on the phone saying "I have like 10 people in front looking at me." To say that in front of your customers isn't a good look. Overall , probably wouldn't come back again unless someone else wanted it. Didn't have a good experience. Food was okay. Ambiance could have been a million times better. 2 stars mostly based on service/ambiance.

I love Everest. They used to have one in Glendale until it was closed down for a starbucks (as if…read moreGlendale needed another starbucks). The one in La Crescenta is worth the drive because it's that good. Their burgers are that classic , homestyle , thick patty which I love. Any of their burgers are a go-to for me. What I especially love is their fried mushrooms. No other place does it like them and for the price you pay , you get so much and worth the value. Service is always good. The employees take your orders fast and food comes out relatively fast as well. Ambiance is nice. Just a classic burger spot vibe. Can't go wrong. Overall , sad that the Glendale location closed but driving to La Crescenta is worth it for Everest.

Also love that they were able to accommodate and make a pup patty for us which was also ginormous compared to other fast food spots. I'm a Club Sandwich connoisseur and it was damn good. Service is warm and friendly too! There's outdoor seating and the interior is dated but the food is bomb!!

Once again, this burger absolutely hits…read more I've tried a lot of smash burgers, and in my opinion this is hands down the best smash burger in California. I don't care what all the critics say--the burger speaks for itself. The patty is perfectly juicy while still having that crispy, flavorful crust that every great smash burger should have. The chili is the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burger. My biggest complaint? I have to drive way too far to get one. That's how good it is. Please open a location in Arcadia! On top of the amazing food, the staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Great food and great people are a hard combination to beat. If you're a smash burger fan and haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out. Worth every mile of the drive.

I really wanted the OG Smash Burger to live up to the standard of Original Tommy's, but…read moreunfortunately, it doesn't quite compare. While the chili is tasty and the service is excellent--the cashier was genuinely dedicated to guest satisfaction, and the food comes out hot and made-to-order in 5-10 minutes--it lacks the signature experience of the real OG Original Tommy's. Not huge at all and for the price, therefore not a good value. I spent $24 for the Chilicheese bruger combo with $1 upcharge for a bottled drink. The burger itself was decent, but they are way too tight with the chili portions compared to Tommy's, and the shoestring fries don't hold the chili nearly as well as the thicker-cut fries. I also found the specific combination of pickles, onions, and mustard on a Tommy's burger to be superior. The setting is purely a walk-up window with four outdoor benches, so it lacks the atmosphere of a traditional dine-in experience. Street parking during around 2pm on weekday was no problem. Got a spot right in front of the joint. If you do stop by, definitely give the chili a moment to cool--it comes out steaming hot! It's a solid, quick meal, but it hasn't dethroned the real OG, Original Tommy's, for me.

I finally got to try the Great White Hut. I mean I came upon it by accident. I didn't realize it…read morewould be so tiny! I don't know what I was expecting but it is amazing that they can serve up such food in a small place. I've seen videos and these guys get a lot of credit for working in a such a small place. The day I went my wife said "99 cent tacos on Tuesday". I said, too bad it's not Tuesday. She is IT IS! HAHA ok, well, now I know what I want. I went to the window and asked if it was true, 99 cent tacos, she said yes! Well $3 later, I had my two tacos. Was it any good? Well, yeah! It was! Look, it wasn't the best tacos in the world or the best I have tried but it was really good and if I had the time, I'd get a beer and sit down and eat these good tacos and then they might be some of the best! Unfortunately I had to do other things so I just enjoyed these two tacos and I got the spicy versions and let me tell you, the kick from the spice was awesome!!!! I love the little Great White Hut!

I wanted to hate this place. Instead I think the food is reasonable for the price. I've had burgers…read moretwice the price that weren't half as good. The good: Although small, the way this burger is constructed makes sense. Good, fresh ingredients with a nice crunch and somewhat decent hamburger patty. The price is right. $6 for a single. A square deal in today's insane landscape. The bad: the bun sucks. Like most burgers out there, the bun lacks in freshness and ingredients. Bake your own buns. Also, the sauce can be annoying. Yet, the pickles are thick and good. I would come again if in the area.

I gave it another go and it was underwhelming to be honest…read more Got a cheeseburger and onion rings. The cheeseburger, I like the flavor of the patty but overall it was alright. The onion rings on the other hand were not good at all in my opinion. First of all it tasted like they were not seasoned at all, and I mean not even salted so was super bland. Also they were pretty tough and chewy, the texture felt almost like pretzels, kind of dry. The portion size is still pretty good.

We came in on a weeknight looking for Mexican food and found it here at Brick and Flour. At first I…read morewas disappointed that they didn't have my first choice of meat but I was very happy with my second choice. They do mostly take out so we ordered to go. We didn't wait long for our food. The bowl tasted so good and it was huge so I had leftovers for the next day. It was a really good mix of flavors and the meat was cooked well. I look forward to coming back.

Omg, I saw this establishment on tik tok and had to try it when in Lo's Angeles…read more We finished biking the Santa Monica pier, and was hungry. I was always told to have a taco when in Los Angeles. And it was perfect that I have Brick and Fliur bookmarked on my LA food collections. We ordered a lot more food to try out. We ordered the carne asada fries, fresh chips and salsa, el pastor burrito, and fish tacos. The fish taco was so delicious and flavorful. The sauce was a creamy siracha mayo aioli. With purple pickled cabbage. The carne asada fries we got was a size large and it was so filling that we didn't get to eat the burrito. The guacamole and crispy fries were amazing. I wish there was more steak. But over all it was worth the drive from Santa Monica pier.

Dinah's has been family-owned since 1967 and is now in its fourth generation. Hearing about the restaurant's history made the experience feel much more personal. The fried chicken was exactly what you'd hope for: crispy, flavorful, and comforting. The classic sides paired perfectly with the meal, and the pie was a great way to finish everything off. The atmosphere feels welcoming and unpretentious, and the staff made us feel right at home. It's rare to find a restaurant with this much history that still feels so connected to its community. Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate local institutions and classic comfort food.

Shake Shack is a now well known burger chain offering upscale fast food at an upscale price. It's…read morebeen a few years since I've been to Shake Shack and I thought I would try it again. This location is very much like any other Shake Shack offering expensive food with good quality. My double shack burger ($10.99) was excellent- the bun was soft and buttered perfectly, the paddies excellent merged well with the cheese, and vegetables fresh. Service was fast but I was a little annoyed to be prompted for a tip from a fast food restaurant. I brought my little one and was quite occupied by his rambunctiousness so when I asked an employee walking by if I could have a high chair I was a little annoyed that they pointed me to the back of the restaurant instead of getting me one. There was only one other occupied table in the restaurant. It's small, but if you ask for a tip and sell yourself as being upscale little things like this make all the difference - and are the reason I couldn't put today's visit in 5-star territory. Despite the quality I've always found Shake Shack to be a little overpriced. An equally if not slightly better burger can be found at a much better price across the street at In and Out. Nonetheless if you are looking for something simple, good, yet a little uninspired, you can't go wrong with the Americana Shake Shack. Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Value: 3.5/5

WHEN: Tue @7pm…read more Located in a small plaza, while there is free parking, it's also quite limited with it being share with other business establishments. However, since we came at night time where most of them were closed, we got parking right in front. This spot is more of a take-away place, with 6 counter seatings indoors, and maybe 3 chairs right out front. This tiny burger spot seems to be run by just one person, so it helps that you can self-order at their kiosk. He was very attentive juggling between cooking the made-to order items, and check in on the costumers in case they had questions. After placing my order at their one device, it was roughly a 15 minutes wait. Here's what we ordered: CHEESEBURGER - $9.90 High-quality beef patty smashed with grilled onions, serviced on a toasted Martin's potato bun and topped with pickles and their fry sauce. I really enjoyed this rich tasting burger. I think that fry sauce was a huge factor...but also that soft bun...and that flavorful beef patty. I really enjoyed this. FRIES - $5.25 Golden Thing-Cut Fries. Perfect. I mean this was made to order so they were warm, crispy and so dang good! It's how fries everywhere should be! I was hoping to come back during my trip in LA, but it's okay, it won't be the last time I visit.

We've been ordering from FTW for months because whenever i think of a smash burger, its either the…read moreones i make myself or the ones from FTW. The crispy lace edges, the juicy center, the grilled onion, the slightly spicy sauce, the slightly sweet bun...all dreamworthy! Their sweet potato fries aren't all that great to look at, but omg, always perfectly cooked and salted! Perfectly complimented with the fry sauce. All that said, we were disappointed when we received our last order: 1. Packaging change (paper wrapped instead of cardboard box for the burgers) robbed the craveable edges of their crispness. Plus there was so much grease on the paper wraps it actually made it messier to eat than before. 2. The sauce has changed. The spice level increased (still not too spicy), but a side of sauce (which you pay more than a $1 for) is now sent in a premade branded packet. I have zero issues paying extra for a good sauce made fresh in-house, but instead of tasting like a fresh sauce made with mayo and spices, it now tastes of oil and spices and is not nearly as tasty. We noticed the difference on the burgers as well, so it seems like their sauce is all premade now and not nearly as good.

It's such a great option and always tastes amazing. There's almost always a long line, but the service is impressively fast and efficient every time. The place is very clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and I really like the bright red-and-white interior -- it has that classic, iconic vibe. Even the restrooms are clean despite how busy it gets, which says a lot. The only downside during this visit was that the air conditioning didn't seem to be working well, so it felt a bit stuffy inside. Also, I think adding some music could really improve the overall atmosphere. Overall, I still love coming here and will definitely be back!

When I found out I was going to L.A., I was excited to eat at In n Out again. I absolutely love…read moretheir cheeseburgers and this time did not disappoint! The onions are awesome. They have a unique flavor that is hard to describe. The pickles are so good and the burger and cheese go so well together. This is one of if not my absolute favorite cheeseburger anywhere. No animal sauce for me. My chocolate shake was pretty good. This is not the beat shake in the world but it goes well with the burger. It is not overly sweet. Oh yeah, the cashier made sure she got my order correct twice which I appreciated. But, oh no...the fries!! Terrible. I remember not liking them in the past. They have no flavor. But this time was worse. The consistency tasted like.they were stale. Like they have been sitting around for days. This is not true since this restaurant is CONSTANTLY busy. There is no time to have fries lay around. Still, I asked for a new order. I figured we got unlucky. Nope. Next order was hot and still tasted stale. No thank you Their menu is very limited. They have like 6 items on the menu and I believe they have kept it the same since they opened in 1948. I still love In n Out but just can't understand why a restaurant has such good burgers and just terrible fries. I have tried them with animal sauce in the past and that did not help. They should really be good on their own. On a final note, I am impressed how they have kept their prices low. Just about anyone can afford to buy a cheeseburger here. They have not increased their prices dramatically, or possibly not at all, like every single one of their competitors. Interesting tidbit..
