This spot is tucked away in an alley and easy to miss, but it delivers one of the better smash burgers in the area. I got lucky and they had one Western burger left, and it ended up being the highlight. The patty had a perfect crust, the toppings were balanced, and everything tasted fresh without being overcomplicated. The bun held everything together without falling apart, which matters more than most places get right. The fries cooked in beef tallow stand out too and actually taste like they were made with intention instead of just being a side. What really stands out is the pricing. For the quality of ingredients and how well everything is executed, it feels underpriced. It genuinely seems like it should cost more than it does. The setup is simple and low key, but if you care about flavor and quality, this place delivers. read more

Been on a bit of a burger kick lately after seeing all the IG hype around Valley spots, so I checked out Press Burger Joint pop-up in Tarzana. It's set up in a parking lot and was a little tricky to find at first. Prices felt a bit high, but I went with the Double Burger ($11.24). The tallow fries looked tempting, but at over $5 for fries, I passed. Waited about 15 minutes for my order even though it wasn't that busy--understandable since everything's made fresh, but still worth noting. Honestly, I was disappointed when I got it. The burger looked small--almost like a slightly oversized slider--and didn't really deliver on flavor. Nothing stood out, and it leaned a bit greasy. Overall, kind of underwhelming for the price. Between the cost and the taste, this one didn't hit for me. Probably my last stop at these pop-up burger spots for a while. read more

This hidden gem is so amazingly good. Ash the owner of the place was great and is really passionate about serving great food. From the grass fed beef to the tallow fries. The secret sauce alone in the burger had me sold on this place. If your looking for a great burger with a wow factor this is the place to go! Looking forward to becoming a regular here. read more

Very humble and sweet corner, Ash has great vibe and skills, all natural fresh ingredients. Highly recommended read more

The best burger in town! And the best onion rings ever! He needs to add them to his menu yum!

Most fire smash burgers I've ever eaten. Very good priced compared to other LA burger spots and customer service was amazing. The owner is a chiller and great guy. He also threw in some free chicken tenders on top of our order which was super nice. The burgers were amazing and the loaded fries were very well seasoned. No complaints at all and will 100% be coming back when in the area. read more

The Press Burger Joint is the kind of low key spot that nails the important stuff and makes you want to come back soon. I got the single smash burger with jalapeños plus the chili fries, and both were excellent. Ash, the owner, was genuinely friendly and helpful, answered questions, and made the whole stop feel welcoming. The burger had that perfect smash style texture, crisp edges with a juicy center, melty cheese, and jalapeños that actually add real heat and bite. Everything tasted fresh and balanced. The chili fries were loaded with chili and cheese. Also, don't get thrown off finding it the first time. It's tucked away in the back parking lot, and there's plenty of parking right there, which makes it easy once you know where to pull in. read more

Yes, yes, yes... just go! I'm a serious burger connoisseur living in Sherman Oaks, always searching for new and upcoming burger spots while still staying loyal to my longtime favorites. Press has officially earned a spot on that list. After talking with the guy making the burgers, I immediately understood why this place stands out. He had so much pride and passion for his food that I was honestly sold before I even took a bite. But once I got home and tasted it? Completely smitten. I've tried just about every popular burger spot from NoHo to Woodland Hills, and this place absolutely deserves a place in the top two. The beef tallow and grass-fed beef initially drew me in, but the flavor is what will keep me coming back. This is a must-try. read more

WOW! 10/10 I never thought I'd find a burger in LA that could top In-N-Out or the other smash spots--until I tried Concept Smash. This is hands-down a 10/10 burger experience.

If you have food sensitivities, follow a clean diet, or just crave a ridiculously good burger, you have to try this place. Ash and the whole Concept Smash team are absolutely crushing it.

Tried this place for the first time yesterday with my friend after finding it on Google while looking for a lunch spot and I'm SO glad we did. These are genuinely some of the best burgers I've ever had. The flavor is incredible, everything tastes super fresh and high quality and the fries are just as good especially the fully loaded ones. This might honestly be the best burger spot in the Valley. The food quality is insane, every bite was amazing and the customer service was just as impressive. The owner was so friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience even better. I will definitely be coming back and already plan on telling all my friends and family about this place.

Although slightly difficult to find owing to their unconventional location and makeshift setup, it's more than worth any trouble. Amazing burgers. I had the Hawaiian with bacon, bbq sauce, jalapeños and pineapple. Outrageously good. Also got the triple with nothing but the meat and cheese. Proved their beef is top-shelf in flavor and quality. Planned to eat mine in the comfort of my home but made the mistake of taking one bite while driving and that was it. I literally licked the container clean. LOVED these burgers. And the chefs were fantastic. Fun. Friendly. Happy to be doing what they were doing and excited to share their craft. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had the triple smash burger at concept smash and let me tell you it isn't just a meal, it's a full-blown experience. You can taste the passion and pride in every bite. The patties are perfectly smashed with crispy, caramelized edges, juicy centers, and just the right amount of seasoning. The cheese melts into every layer like it was meant to be there from the start. The buns? Toasted just right. And don't even get me started on the sauce... If you haven't tried concept smash masterpiece yet, you're seriously missing out. Run--don't walk. read more

My buddy Tom told me his friend Ash was running a pop-up smash burger spot in Tarzana. He texted that it was happening today (Saturday), so I headed over--Reseda exit on Oxnard, tucked behind a pot shop. Let me say: beyond awesome. My son had his usual--cheese and ketchup only. I got mine the way they make it. Just a single, since I usually have to finish his or toss it. Also grabbed the fancy fries. Hands down, best smash burger I've had. The buns are crazy good--soft, no sesame, maybe from Chicago? Reminds me of Five Guys but better. The burger was cooked perfectly. Not burnt, but I'm sure they'd crisp it up if you asked. Mine came with onions, pickles, special sauce, and cheese--nailed it. And the fries? Cooked in beef tallow. Rich, crispy, and just right. Incredible prices too. Burger was around $8, fries $6. They had a cheaper option as well. These kinds of spots are hard to get off the ground, so if you're anywhere near the Valley, make the trip. Try the burger. You'll get it--and you'll want to support Ash. So, so good. read more

What a spot. I tell you what. The food is grade A the service is even better. Wowowoowowowowowow can't wait to come back. Drove 1 hr and was worth it. The fries are like no other. I recommend the chilli fries for the win. Just the meat no beats in the chili. I did the double burger and let the chef make it their way. 10/10. Also the ambiance is so friendly one large family style table great to break the silence and create small talk with fellow hungry souls and there's something special about enjoying a meal with a new friend. Yummmmmyyyytyy still dreaming of that smash burger read more

I'll start off with saying I'd like to consider myself a cheeseburger and Smashburger connoisseur. I have tried them all and this place is by far the best Smashburger I have ever had. The quality and ingredients are second to none. Such a tasty burger and the customer service and people there are just as nice and good overall I don't rate lightly, but this deserves a five. This smash burger is impeccable and has now become my favorite. -Jon read more

There's a lot of different Smash burger restaurants in the city and being someone who loves a great Smashburger, I can easily say this is my favorite place. I love that they don't use any seed oils and I can taste the difference in the quality of the meat. The sauce is WOW!! After having a double burger, I don't feel excessively full or weighted down. The service is impressive . They listen to how I want my burger prepared and it always comes out the way I want every time. I usually go at night and theres always a nice ambiance with lots of hanging lights everywhere. Its the perfect place to hang out on a summer night and relax and have a great meal. read more
