Love this spot so much. Total mom n pop setup it makes it all the much better. Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain we're dealing with smash burgers with a japanese style bun. Think crazy elevated burger. The beef tallow fries are also a total hit. Service is top notch and they even have desert treats (but, tbh, snuck in some wine and had one of the best dinners in Culver I've had in awhile). Completely recommend and try to swing by. Check their insta for when they're doing a pop up! read more

I just got back from grabbing lunch there, and I'd say it's easily the best smash burger I've had. I'm not a huge smash burger guy, but I've probably tried 6-8 different restaurants and this was waaaaay more flavorful. The smell alone was fantastic. Fries were great as well and everything was reasonably priced. I would highly recommend NOT attempting to eat it in a car, though. Very messy. :D read more

So this place is located on the corner, so keep an eye out for a burger on a parking meter. It's a nice building with lots of open space. There is a garden sitting area on the side and a balcony sitting area upstairs. When you come in, it's like a pop up style order and cook. I think a family runs the place, mom, pop, and young daughter, so the service is really personal and polite. They have been open since August 2025. I'm surprised I haven't heard of the place since I'm always over in the Westside and looking for great places to eat. Either way, I found them today so, awesome! Now to the food, simple. They serve burgers, fries, and ice cream for dessert, if you want. I went for the double cheeseburger with fries. Both are cooked in the front out in the open so you can watch or go for a little walk about of the place. I chose to walk and take pics. It's a beautiful space with a scenic view upstairs and a cozy setting downstairs. Maybe I'm partial to wood and trees, but I liked it. I was upstairs enjoying the view when my food was delivered, it was so freaking good! I devoured both the fries and cheeseburger within 5-10 minutes for sure. I even added some of the fries to the burger as a throwback to my youth. lol. The meat is cooked just perfectly, not too greasy, not too dry. The fries are something else. For sure you can tell the oil is top tier. I'm a fry addict and I could have eaten an entire plate of just the fries alone. For sure, they need to add more of those to the plate. I already wrote about the burger, it was epic. I've only had one burger better and that was from a chef who worked in a Michelin star restaurant. That tells you something about the meat blend. I think I found my burger place. NOTE: you have to follow them on Instagram to get their hours. They aren't in this location everyday. The hours are posted on Instagram, so I'm going to mosey on over and follow them. I suggest you do the same and go get yourself a great burger. Oh, and don't think it's going to be really quick if there is a full house. There is only one person making burgers and one doing fries so be patient, relax, and enjoy the moment. read more

Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. So simple with such a classic taste. It felt clean and tasted like it was made with love. From the perfectly toasted buns to the crispy edges and grilled onions, it was soooo good. I came on a Saturday & they have parking lot across the way. The place is really cool, it has pool tables and large TVs. The team and chef were so kind. Can't wait to come back. read more

WOW WOW WOW!!! If you look at my Yelp reviews, I rarely give 5 stars. Especially to burger places because they never blow me away. This place blew me away. I saw it on Instagram as a new pop up smash burger place in Culver City and knew I had to try it when I saw they use Japanese milk buns! So I got a double cheeseburger with tallow fries and both were soooo good! The meat is thick and juicy and their "meet up sauce" has a bit of a kick to it and gave the burger so much flavor! They cook the onion in with the burger so the grilled onions and pickles also added great flavor. I can literally eat this burger everyday if I could. They're open on the weekends from 6-10pm but check their Instagram for dates and hours! This was their grand opening weekend, so I suggest you try it before it gets crazy crowded. Because there's ZERO smash burger places anywhere near the area that are this good. The inside had plenty of tables and chairs and outdoor seating too! The tables had a few board games as well and even a really nice rooftop area. Clean bathrooms as well! The staff was all so welcoming and great! Truly makes a business worth supporting when you see all the passion the staff has for their food! Easy free parking in the parking lot across the street. read more

Food made fresh to order. Owner is very nice and explained the menu thoroughly. Pool tables available. Great late night burger . read more

Very good looking and tasty burger. The bun has a pleasant crunch while being soft and toasty. Meat and cheese make a wonderful blend with the jalapeño adding a slight kick without it being overpowering. Fries are excellent and worth the $5. The owners are personable and remembered me when I showed up after talking to them the week before. Lovely atmosphere on a Sunday watching NFL. Has a free pool table so it's ideal to hold gatherings with a large group, or your close friends. The burger is great. You can find good burgers all over LA, but the space and service is most inviting and that's what would encourage me to return. read more

Great burger but the hours are very inconsistent I have showed up here 3 times on the hours listed and they have not been there. It's a great burger but you risk wasting your time driving over. The hours need to be figured out and finalized read more

Wow, TheMeetUp LA in Culver City blew me away! The double smash burger on that pillowy Japanese milk bun was juicy, flavorful perfection, and the beef tallow fries had insane crispiness without being greasy.

best burger in LA. no doubt This burger is made by a truly passionate chef--and it shows. You can literally taste the care in every bite. High-quality, local ingredients, thoughtfully curated flavors, and that extra something that only comes from people who genuinely love what they do. It's indulgent but clean, satisfying without feeling heavy, and it just sits right--you can feel the quality. A family-run spot doing things with intention, heart, and so much love. If you appreciate real food made with care, this is 100% worth the visit. read more

Walking in, immediately greeted and the breakdown of the burger explained. The ambiance was amazing, indoor seating with a TV, we sat in an adorable patio area, and I did not check it out, but there is also searing upstairs in this fun space. Our burgers were delicious, the pickles had a bit of spice. The fries, sublime. We will 100% be back. The pop up is on LaCienega and Smiley. In the area before/after the Fairfax branch. Of note, there is a parking lot directly across from the restaurant on Smiley. Follow them on Instagram for updates. read more

Awesome burger and fried in a cool spot! Don't miss it. Lots of cool dining tables for large or small groups. read more
