Super fast even with a line! Friendly! The quality you love from the Venice shop in a great new location!

Best addition to Montana Ave. perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner and don't skip the Kale salad. great food, great vibes. read more

I am a sucker for a good smash burger and I think I may have found my new favorite spot in west LA! We ordered the chicken sando, smash burger, fries and Brussel sprouts. My only semi negative comment is that the Brussel sprouts were pretty oily (which made them very tasty and I prefer over dry and not cooked through). The burger was perfect. I think I could've eaten two though. The chicken sando was just ok. I felt like it was missing something but couldn't put my finger on what it was. Service is very friendly. Ample seating since most people do take out. Will be back for sure! read more

Stopped by the window on a lazy Sunday morning. It was not too crowded, and we were happy they had a small parking lot to park in so we could avoid paying for parking. We ordered the breakfast burrito, and the breakfast burger with a fried egg on top. Both were very tasty, and I also got the jalapeño sauce to go with them. Service was quick and we liked the meal read more

Took about 13 visits here to finally get a day and time with a small line and finally got a cheeseburger ($5). It was very good but it's more of an appetizer or desert. Not the best value for $5 because it's small. If I was relying on this for my dinner, I would need 2 to 3 of them. And you can tell it was fresh beef. I had to spit out a few little bones spurs you get in hamburger meat. Maybe next time I will try the vegetable bowl for 8.00. This is type of fast food restaurant that I would never tell anyone to not go, but not one I would tell people to run to. It's fine for what it is. Glad they are here in case of emergency. Employees are fast food fine. No parking except pickup, just park on the opposite side down the street for up to 2 hours. read more

Genuinely decent burger but nothing special. I would've been just as happy at In-N-Out to be honest. The burger was def better, the patties were tasty, but the bun was almost TOO soft... kinda disintegrated. But the fries were not amazing. I would come back if I was in the area and overall had like a 6/10 experience. Cashier was superrr nice though. Tip: extra sauce brought my burger from a 3/5 to a 4/5! Total for a double cheeseburger, fries and Diet Coke: $17.40 Note: street parking and 4 20-minute spots out front. Had no problem finding parking today. read more

The Win-Dow is one of my favorite smash burger spots in LA, and I'm thrilled they've opened this new location. Having visited their original spot at American Beauty, I'm happy to report that the quality here is perfectly on par. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger ($7.75), which comes grilled with onions, American cheese, pickles, and their signature house sauce. Like any good smash burger, it's on the salty side, but it's well-balanced and nowhere near as overwhelming as other places. Finding a high-quality smash burger for under $8 on Montana Ave in Santa Monica is an absolute steal. The freshly made lemonade ($2.50) is also a standout--it's refreshing, reasonably priced, and a great value. Be prepared for lines, as this spot is popular, but if you time it right--around 4 p.m. for an early dinner--you can usually beat the crowds. Highly recommended if you're looking for a solid, affordable meal! read more

Um insane. Get the kale salad with a patty on top - it is actually life changing. The salad is beyond flavorful, from the toppings to the dressing. I didn't realize I liked golden raisins as much as I do until I consumed this salad. The vinaigrette is delightful and they serve the salad pre tossed - just perfection. I can't wait to go back for another $12 salad from this perfect little addition to Montana. Also excited to try the milkshakes next time, they look divine. read more

I was admittedly a little annoyed at the line length and time it took to get our meals. But once I had the burger I was sold. To me, it beat out it's competition quite handedly. A great little smash burger with a lovely bun and tasty meat. The fries were stellar. And the dipped cones were really fun (I loved the mint!) read more

I love The Win-Dow, and this location is great! I like the indoor/open seating area. The ordering and pick-up windows are inside. I went for lunch on a Wednesday at 1pm, and there was a consistent but relatively short line that moved pretty quickly. I think we waited for about 10 minutes for our food after ordering. The brussels sprouts are new to the menu, so we had to try them! They were delicious. Very flavorful, not too salty. They were crunchy with a light crisp. The burgers are among the best you can get at the price. The cheese is perfectly melted, the meat is well-seasoned, the bun is soft, and the sauce and pickles compliment it all perfectly - this is one of the only burgers that I don't dip in additional ketchup. The fries are great - also well-seasoned, and consistent in texture. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And I liked the herby ranch dressing with them. I didn't get a drink, so one double cheeseburger + fries were under $15. If you want water, you have to ask for it at the windows. There was a staff member regularly going around and wiping down the vacated tables, which I really appreciated! read more

The Win-Dow Santa Monica - Brussels sprouts and cheeseburger on top, double cheeseburger and fries on the bottom - Burgers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

The burgers here are decent flavor wise, but kind of small. I normally eat one burger at in n out and I needed almost 2 here... Fries were good but not the best, I feel like they used to be better! Service was okay, the cashier was friendly but the pickup lady was aggressively rude. They also made my burger wrong 2 times, which it's not my fuller the kitchen didn't follow the ticket to remove the pickles and sauce. Inside is 3 small tables and then it's mostly just bar seating. No one was wiping tables so it wasn't particularly clean. This location was really busy, the one in Venice is nicer even though this is newer. Would honestly just go to the other location or in n out Altogether read more

The Win-Dow Santa Monica - French fries Original CHEESEBURGER - Burgers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

The Win-Dow is a welcome addition to town with their reasonable prices for smashburgers and other goodies. There's a parking lot, and the design was thoughtfully done - not a ton of tables, but plenty of seating and lots of fresh air. There are also two individual restrooms at the back that seemed like they had been recently cleaned. I ordered the cheeseburger, and it was a good one. Not life-changing, but way better than In-N-Out, imo. The crispy brussels sprouts soaked a lot of grease into the paper, but they were tasty and a welcome change from just fries, which were just ok after we got them home - they might have been better had we eaten there. Sadly, the shakes are only available if you order in person, which is why we went through the trouble of standing in line instead of just ordering online. Strawberry and vanilla were both good, though the strawberry had the better presentation. Both had too much whipped cream and sprinkles for my taste, but the quality of the shakes were better than what you get at Shake Shack. My daughter said the lemonade was good - my husband said it was just lemonade - and there was so much ice there was hardly any liquid in there. All in all, we were pretty happy with the food there, but I wouldn't order the lemonade again if I didn't have to. read more

We saw that Win-Dow had recently opened when we were driving around Santa Monica and figured it would be a good idea to stop by and give it a try since we are really big Smashburger fans. A few thoughts... 1. I'll give them grace because it was opening weekend, but the line was about an hour from the second. We stood in line until when we got our food. The overall experiencing really unorganized they just need a little bit better work. They only had one person at the register who wasn't completely trained. It looked like he was still getting trained, but opening weekend is probably not the best time to train a new employee. Also, it wasn't great that he didn't say like welcome or how can I help you? He literally just stared at my face until I was like OK here's my order. 2. The quality of the food is great. The strawberry shake is probably one of the best strawberry shakes I've ever had. It's really late and you could tell that the ingredients are very fresh. The fries are spot on. They were a little salty. The burgers were really good. My only concern is that one of the burgers did have a little bit of a chewy piece in there which was ... also they didn't get my order exactly right I had asked for one burger without sauce and that wasn't what I got but overall, the onions were caramelized perfectly, and it was just a really affordable good burger. read more

The Win-Dow is a great spot to drop in if you are looking to get a quick lunch in. It's clean, fast, and the food is quite good. The burger is really well priced and good quality. It reminds me a lot of 7th Street Burger in NYC which is all the rave over there. The fries were good. They are pretty thin, which isn't my preference but they were fluffy and crispy with good flavor and went very well with the Jalapeño aioli, which was delicious. The lemonade was fresh with a good amount of acidity which was nice and refreshing. Definitely will drop by when I'm in a rush or really craving a burger! read more

The Win-Dow Santa Monica - DOUBLE BEAUTY BURGER and FRIES with a side of JALAPENO AIOLI - Burgers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

4.5 Stopped by this morning due to a very impromptu burger craving and the Cheeseburger instantly took spot as one of the best smash burgers I have ever had. I guess affordability is an intentional concept and let me tell you... burger and fries under $10 is definitely speaking to that -- especially when the food quality is so high. The fries were the perfect thickness and crunch and my only qualm with the burger is that I wish I'd gotten two patties instead of one for added meat flavor. Otherwise this was a delicious experience and I'm excited to come back! read more

A coworker recommended that I try this spot while I'm in LA and I just happened to walk by and see the Win-Dow. I'm really glad I tried it! I got a double smash cheeseburger with fries and they were delicious! The fries were nice and crispy, and I liked how they added onions to the smash burger. The burger and fries were just enough but it definitely fills your burger needs. My friend and I said we definitely have to come back for more and I wish there was one in San Francisco. It might be dangerous as I would order from it a lot but the prices were also reasonable. read more

Fun burger spot in former Go Get 'Em Tiger space. We scored a parking spot in the lot, and had a short wait in line to order. I ordered a single cheeseburger and others got the double cheeseburger, and we shared 2 orders of fries. We tried all three dipping sauces - house, jalapeño and herby ranch. Each of us had a different favorite but they were all very good. We also split a kale salad - very, very good. We snagged seats at a table with an umbrella on the sidewalk, and enjoyed our meal outside. We'll be back next time we're in town - great food, great service, and really reasonable prices. read more

This place was great! Cool, elegant fast food, with what tasted like fresh ingredients at a very reasonable price. The kale salad and fries were both great and fresh. The veggie burger was decent, not the best I've had but it was fun and different. The brussel sprouts tasted great, not different from most brussel sprouts I've had but VERY good for $5. And the salted caramel dipped cone was phenomenal. read more

Let me start off by saying I appreciate their simple menu. I got the double burger with no cheese, a side of fries and a drink. They have an assorted shakes menu to choose from, like vanilla bean and salted caramel. It's a great place for lunch but can get a little too loud. It's limited seating inside, but they have some outdoor tables. The fries were good, but not as fresh as I was expecting them to be. The burger, while good and fresh, lacked flavor and seasoning. I think this place is just one of many Burger options to choose from, it doesn't stand out, but it's also not terrible! Give it a shot. read more

The Win-Dow is absolutely worth the hype. We ordered burgers, fries, lemonade, and the Brussels sprouts, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly affordable. The prices are hard to beat, especially for Santa Monica. Since this location just opened, it's been very busy. I'd definitely recommend ordering online ahead of time and picking it up to avoid waiting in the long line. Great food, great value, and I'll definitely be back! read more

So glad to have The Win-Dow take over the place after gget vacated and be able to get tasty burgers at an amazing price for Santa Monica standards. They tried their best to preserve the charm of ordering from a window but it's certain a more flushed out restaurant with a good amount of indoor seating. The decor and painted accents are nice. Burger is as tasty as you'd expect - good smash and cook and flavors. The fried chicken was ok - a little too salty and batter to chicken ratio was skewed but this is also $7.5 for a freshly made sando so for the price, it's solid. May need to bring your own zabs to add a kick. Service is nice! read more

I am so happy they finally opened another location over here- it's in such a great spot and the food never disappoints. They have such affordable prices and options on the menu for everyone. They know what they're good at and they do it right. My go-to order is the beauty burger and it's hands down my all time favorite vegetarian burger ever (and i've tried many). it's similar to a smash burger, perfect thickness and char, the onions are so perfect and thin and the sauces are incredible. The fries are sooo good and i never feel too bloated or sodium heavy after i finish eating it. The fried chicken sandwich is juicy and delicious as well as the classic cheeseburger of course. I also got to try the newer menu item, the fried brussel sprouts and they're awesome. dipped into the ranch or creamy jalapeño sauce is soo good and once again- so affordable! The staff is always welcoming and friendly, the wait time wasn't bad at all and there's clean indoor and outdoor seating. I can't wait to be a regular here and i would highly recommend trying it out! read more

A really yummy burger, unexpectedly amazing kale salad and a very reasonable price (4 dollars?!!). The store was nice inside but no-nonsense. We sat outside to eat afterward and could people watch in the line-- we also saw a famous DJ which was cool. But oh my god the food took genuinely so long. Way longer than it should have in my opinion even considering the massive amount of people. We did get a ticket for a free burger which was nice. But they're only 4 dollars. read more

We absolutely love having The Win-Dow on Montana! We have two little kids, and it's become one of our go-to spots as it's so easy and family-friendly. The staff is always kind, the food comes out quickly (and is delish), and there's just a great overall vibe. Also, if you haven't had the weekend breakfast burrito yet, you're missing out. read more

The kale salad is a 10/10 omg ! When I say so much flavor with the fried chicken definitely a grad addition. The burger was okay I would give it a 7/10 it was a mixture of heavy handed and shake shack. The lemonade was good nice and tart with a hint of sweet. I did wait a little over 30 mins for my food it was a long time not sure it was because they just opened this location, but there were some people who went after me that did get there food before me. Nonetheless I love the community oriented aspect and how you can go to the window and order food. read more

Wasn't to surpised to see a line when I pulled up but was stoked that it moved fast. I was met with a smile by the person at the cash register she was friendly and helpful when deciding which cone I wanted to get. I love that this location has all their classics but has extra sweets on the menu. The seating was nice and colorful easy to find and not uncomfortable. There was umbrellas for if it got hot and enough seating to go around from indoor seating to outdoor seating. Not pictured but I stuck to my go-to, a fried chicken sandwich and some fries. I always like to get extra jalapeño aioli. This location is definitely worth checking out! read more

We're so excited that the Win-Dow has finally opened up in Santa Monica. Today I had a chance to grab a late lunch and didn't have to wait to order, even though it was busy, I did need to wait about 5-10 minutes for the food to be made fresh. That gave me time to look around and appreciate the wonderful summer day, the music, and fresh air coming through both of the double glass roll-up doors. The Staff was really friendly and prepared. When I grabbed my bag of food I nearly finished the fries on the 3 minute drive home. I wasn't expecting the fries to be so good and the double cheese burger was excellent. I shared a bit with my son and he thought it was amazing. I don't think I've ever had a burger and fries without needing ketchup or more sauce, but these were that good. I do have to say the jalapeño aioli was excellent, but I dipped only a few of the fries to try it. I'm definitely coming back with my family. What a great first experience. Congratulations on a successful opening! Keep up the great work, quality, and service!! A++ read more

This restaurant uses SEED oils and the smell coming from their kitchen is DISGUSTING. Makes me gag and feels like I'm going to vomit. I no longer can cross the street on Montana at 10th. It's a putrid smell in the air, smelling of deep fried seed oils. They should use tallow, butter, ghee or other oils to actually be with the time and also health consciousness of the location. Makes the whole area unhealthy. Don't eat there. read more
