We first tried Tripp burgers at the Burgers & Brews at Santa Anita race track event, thanks to my daughter's friend Anahi for letting me know they'll be on our side of town.. and let me tell you, it was love at first bite. YUM! The staff is so down to earth and the owner Tripp is one cool dude. They are definitely worth the trip, we drove all the way from SGV for a second round at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne, let me tell you.. I don't drink, I went just for a Tripp Burger, I couldn't wait to taste the burger again. They'll definitely be seeing our faces more often now read more

I recently saw this place on TikTok and was excited to try their burgers since the videos made it look promising. After trying it out ($11 for a single patty Oklahoma burger with onions) I was pretty disappointed. The patty was on the thin side which is not completely bad but I feel it could have used more seasoning as eating the rest of it I was craving more flavor. Unfortunately I felt it tasted dry. Halfway through eating the burger I decided to walk back up to them to simply ask for ketchup. I was taken aback when the guy stated "Why? Ketchup doesn't go on burgers" in a pointed tone. I just sort of played off his response and restated if I can get ketchup which I clearly saw sitting in the cart behind him. He gave me a "Yeah fine" response as I went ahead and severed myself a side of ketchup. I finished the rest of the burger with ketchup to give it some moisture but I was already unhappy with the experience overall. I'm trying to be open minded to maybe this is a one off experience but to go from excited to try this place I found on TikTok, to a disappointing burger and stand-off-ish service, I don't think I will be trying this place again. read more

Tried a satellite location food cart at Three Weavers Brewery in Inglewood on a Sunday afternoon. The burgers were tasty, but will still leave you hungry after paying a full meal price. It's a simple menu, with a choice of a la carte cheeseburger or fried-onion burger (choice of 1 - 4 patties), with chips (+2) as the only side option. The burgers are the normal burger size, with each beef patty ball (before being smashed) being 1/8 lb. There is a small condiment section with ketchup, mustard, dill pickles, and diced onions. After paying, you are given a pager. The food was prepared fresh and was ready in about 10 minutes. I tried the double fried-onion cheeseburger ($15.25). It was a good smashburger, using a good blend of beef and bacon, properly crisped around the edges. Getting the single would not have been enough beef, so glad I got the double. The fried onions did add the bitter sweetness, again confirming that getting grilled whole onions (for free) at In-n-out is the way to go. It would be hard to pay these prices for such little food, so definitely appropriate at breweries where alcohol tends to blur the line between value and 'i'm so hungry i'll pay anything'. read more

Tripp popped up at Smog City brewing and my friends 12 year old daughter ordered 2 burgers for her and her friend. She paid with a card and did not hit tip because she's 12 and made a mistake. The dude working there said enough to her about the lack of tip that she cried. Her mom went up and picked up the food when it was ready and tipped him and he had words for her too... what are we even doing? The burgers sucked, you can microwave more flavor out of ground beef, they should have been tipping us for choking that sawdust sandwich down. read more

They deliver a good, solid smashburger here, with melted cheese, grilled onions and add ons-- pickles, condiments. The owner is very friendly and aims to please. This is a go to when they show up at local breweries. I had a simple single burger and was very pleased. Give them a try. read more

I caught their burger stand in Santa Monica at the Eater Garden. It was kinda early so I didn't have any wait to order and they told me it would take about 7 minutes as they were made to order The burger was pretty good and I'd order here again if the are in my area, but I was hoping for a little more of an impressive flavor to the meat than what I got. Maybe just to high expectations. Don't get me wrong most burger spots won't come close to this level of flavor. I ordered the double patty Oklahoma which added fried onions which were awesome I think next time I'll get a triple as the double felt a little smaller than what I was expecting read more

Overpriced ($13). Double cheeseburger was fine, a good burger and hit the spot but nothing special. Food Truck had a very limited selection, no other nearby choices so spent $16 all-in for a standard double.

Tripp Burger is currently my favorite burger in LA. I didn't say the best because that's subjective, but I eat a lot of burgers and it is ELITE. In fact, I went to Hamburger America in NYC and I prefer Tripps. The double patty Oklahoma style is my order - perfect every time, the meat quality really is the star here. Also LOL at people's commentary of Mark being "rude" - he's got a dry sense of humor that I think is lost on a lot of people. Personally will continue to chase Tripps all around South Bay for their pop ups and the ever elusive chili!! read more

Looking for a new burger joint near me, I turned to Yelp! And Tripp Burgers showed up as #1. I didn't realize it was a pop up, but once I found them (address leads you to Trader Joe's/CVS and you'll find Tripp on Sepulveda just in front of CVS, look for the sidewalk grill or follow the aroma of grilled onions). Be prepared this is a no cash spot. They focus on quality here, so choices are simple, cheese or no cheese, onions or no onions. A tasty smash burger cooked perfectly on a flat top. The bun was amazingly fresh and soft and I can't wait for another burger craving to hit, because I know where I'm going back to! Though next time I'm going in for a double pattie! The pop up offers diced raw onions, ketchup and mustard for condiments but the burger is perfect without condiments. The potato chips were an east coast inspired Chesapeake Bay seasoned "crab chips". They're not the star of this pop up it's all about the burger! Totally worth the stop! read more

Speaking of burgers, These guys are FIRE. Tripp Burgers is kind of new, because one of my best friends stay in Palms, and the last time I visited him, these guys were not here I love the Fried Onion burger. Good with lots of cheese and onions. Burgers are freshly cooked here. French fries are good too. We ate outside in the hot sun enjoying the meals. Service was good here. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Update 2: Mark, please stop harassing me on a food review app. You need therapy. Update: I had no intentions of updating but since Mark is making insufferable retaliations with his childish comments, as he continues to do with several other customers below, here it is. About 12-14 hours after consuming their overpriced garbage, my partner and I had some minor food poisoning from the food here. It was about a full day of vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, headache, the works. This was the only meal we shared that day, so there was no other possibility. It's hard to believe when Mark is ripping people off with poison, that this establishment stays in business. My credit card statement shows under another pseudonym "Stuckups burgers" -- and if you look them up, it's another failed business. Keep doing what you're great at Mark, which is running businesses into the ground, pathetic loser. The staff are nice but the food is grossly overpriced and mediocre. It's a mcdonalds double cheeseburger selling for $15. Sure, it looks fresh off the grill but I was done in 3 bites. Burgers are size of a slider, and they don't even sell fries. You go up to an empty tent to order, you get a beeper, you go to pick up the food in a tiny paper tray, you serve your own toppings, you throw away your own trash, and they ask for tip. They sure paid a LOT of social media influencers to leave fake 5* reviews, I guess that's why normal folks pay $15 for one tiny slider to offset the cost. read more

Hello Yelp Reviewers. I used Mark Tripp, and his burger service for a catering event. We told him 100 people would be attending, but Mark only brought one employee, and not enough food for the event. HE CHARGES FOR A 2 HOUR SERVICE, BUT ITS AN EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE, AND HE ISNT EQUIPT TO HANDLE GROUPS. MANY OF MY PEOPLE DIDNT EVEN GET TO EAT!!! HE JUST RAN OUT OF FOOD, AND LEFT. Mark Tripp charges a very expensive rate for his service, AND can't keep up with demand at all. read more

Food poisoning zero out of ten would not recommend. Quick method to drop a couple pounds in one day though.

Slowly trying to check off my fairly lengthy list of L.A. burger spots to try. Up next for me was Tripp Burgers, which is a literal pop up outfit on the sidewalk next to the CVS/Trader Joe's on Sepulveda. Based on the pictures I saw both on Yelp and social media that Tripp's smashburgers were pretty thin, so I opted for for the 3-Stack (i.e., triple cheeseburger) with fried onions. Turns out that a the amount of meat in their triple cheeseburger is actually pretty damn substantial! Comparatively, one of these patties is probably a little more meat than your typical In-N-Out patty. As for the burger itself, the meat patties had a strong meaty flavor to it but not overly salted. They say that there is a hint of pork in the patty and you can definitely taste that bacon in it. The American cheese slices certainly took a backseat to the meat. They also give you raw onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard on the side, which helps contrast the meatiness of the patties. And I thought the burger definitely was better for having the fried onions! At $9 for a single, $12 for a double, and $16 for my 3-Stack, you are definitely paying a premium price for the product. But given the quality of beef (they use USDA Prime) and the fact that it is a pop-up operation, I'm ok paying that amount on occasion. You can tell Mark takes a lot of pride in owning this pop up. He was really friendly and guided us through the menu as first timers. Also gave us a free sticker and a stamp card! And there are clearly a lot of regulars that come here, as we noted with the line that Parking is easy since it's right next to the CVS/Trader Joe's. Should not be a problem even on a busy day. Tripp Burgers is good, but I want to keep searching to see what else is out there with L.A.'s vast burger options. read more

Tried this spot out after a recommendation from a fellow foodie. They were parked right outside Trader Joe's on Sepulveda so lots of room for parking and dining on your trunk, which was a positive. Service was great and the owner along with the chef were very friendly and attentive to my order. In terms of the burger it tasted unique and had a nice char on the sides of the patty. The bun had a sweetness and they blended well together. The burger itself was a bit small however, and the cheese slice I got was the same. For $14 after tax and tip, I just expected a bit more. Overall, a friendly place and I did get a cool sticker and loyalty card. read more

Caught them set up at LA Ale Works. Everyone was saying they were really good so I had to give it a try. When I tell you that was a good burger, THAT WAS A GOOD BURGER! It was a smooshed patty. The patty was so flavorful and juicy! I got a a double patty w/ cheese. Then I added my own mustard & pickles. I inquired about lettuce but the cool advised me It didn't need salad on it aha I was like yeaaa OKAY. He was right ahah it really didn't even need the mustard and pickles it was that flavorful! But you know the mustard and pickle took it over the top! It was filling too. I didn't get chip but you can definitely purchase it w/ chips! Definitely recommend. read more

This is the best smashburger in LA. It's not a close contest when you break it all down. So, let's get a few things out of the way first: - This is not a cheap burger - There are not a ton of fixings available by design - Side dish options a small bag of chips that comes complimentary with your burger - Saucing up the burger is not smiled upon - and outright banned for some of Tripp's specialty burgers like the Westchester Everything I just listed is actually not a negative. - The quality of the meat is a cut above high-end restaurants. You're getting USDA prime cuts, sirloin, and a little bacon blended by a master butcher in each patty for a distinct flavor. - I repeat: The meat is the star of the show. If you slathered it in a ton of fixings or sauces you can't taste the thing you're paying $8+ dollars for. A little is ok, but a lot like most burgers come standard with is not! - Put another way: If you bought a nice ribeye steak and dipped it in Ketchup the only thing you'd taste is ketchup and the texture of the meat. You're waving goodbye to the real flavor. I've been going to Tripp's for more than a year and it's become a favored destination. It's helped me appreciate what I love in a burger. I think it says a lot about the quality that I feel full but not heavy or bloated after downing a Tripp burger and a bottle of water. Culturally, we've been conditioned to tolerate lesser-quality meat because we disguise it in a bunch of cheaper ingredients. So if you're in the area and looking to grab a bite, trust me, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tripp Burgers are the real deal! They are right in my neighborhood on Palms and Sepulveda. First off Mark and Brock are really cool guys. We had a great conversation about Yelp which was very enlightening. Now to the burger. These Smashburgers are some of the very Best in LA. I ordered a double with cheese and no onions. The meat was seasoned to perfection and was juicy and flavorful. The bun was great also. I just added pickles and ketchup and it was perfect. Was it worth all the hype? Absolutely! So do yourself a favor and go get yourself a Tripp burger. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is so close to the house and was DYING to love it BUT... didn't hit the mark. I am a smash burger snob and looked forward to trying this place but sadly wasn't a fan. The meat was EXTREMELY UNDERSEASONED, the meat had absolutely NO MAILLARD / CRUST/ SEAR like any smash burger would as I will show in a picture. AND.... on top of having 0 seasoning or crust it has a 12 DOLLAR PRICE TAG and is on the side walk when comparable actual brick and mortar restaurant that charges less than half the price for theirs. Will stick to BNSD and brick-burger for now if I have the salty smash burger craving... I even got an extra burger anticipating it will be a "Smash Hit" burger but was a total waste and had to throw it away... thought I could give it to my beagle but it has onions oh well read more

Tripp Burgers - NO CRUST/SEASONING had to add mustard. - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What I ordered: Double cheeseburger (smash burger) Why I showed up: George Motz was on the griddle today! Taste: Excellent. The onions were perfect. The patties were great and the cheese on bun combo almost had a grilled cheese + burger feel. Tripp's is in my top five burgers in the city. Experience: Fine. I'd prefer to have a burger with some fries, which maybe we could've gotten from Boomtown Brewery. Waited about 10-15 minutes for some double cheeseburgers. There were a bunch of ready order-ahead burgers and we did not order ahead. The aromas were mouthwatering and I took a video and watching the video I just took while standing by the grill, I felt like the video was not going to do these burgers justice. Customer service was good. I'm not a huge fan of pop-ups because you don't get as controlled of an atmosphere, so it was just fine overall. The burger itself was wrapped and not the most beautiful after wrapping, but not too drippy/messy and taste won out. Mood Before/After: I felt excited before the burger. I was satisfied after. Felt like a good start to my evening and was energetic. Fullness: Medium. It was filling enough that I didn't need more food, but I still kinda wish I had a few fries to share. What else did I eat/do today affecting my experience: I worked out a couple hours before the burger and had some leftovers; pizza and Caesar salad earlier in the day. I don't think it had a big impact on my experience. read more

This review is strictly for the service. If one were to look at the single/lower starred reviews, they have one thing in common; the service. I've attended a couple of events catered by Tripp Burger in the past and I've witnessed the owner's service or rather lack of it. The owner, Mark, lacks customer service. He's condescending and becomes irate if confronted about the wait time for his fare. One can tell from his responses to one starred reviews that he lacks any class. In his defense to wait time, he'll inflate his attendee numbers almost two-fold. In reality, he's unprepared to handle events due to the home-consumer-sized grill he uses. Instead of falsely doubling the number of attendees he claims to have served, he should double the size of his grill. That would definitely resolve the wait times. The owner thinks he's God's gift to smashburgers. Yes, the burgers are good. They're not quite as good as the smashburgers that you'll find from establishments like Amboy, For the Win, Goldburger, Burgers Never Say Die, The Win-Dow, Lowboy or Burbank Smashed. Even Smashed Jack Burger is better. You'll definitely receive service WITHOUT the attitude. Influencers, and businesses and individuals looking for burger catering services take heed. Protect your reputation and look elsewhere. read more

The onion burgers are amazing!! I will definitely be back to Smog City when they are there again!

Hot. Juicy. Delicious. I knew first bite would need to be just simple: meat cheese bun. And before I knew it, my double stack was already gone. The burger is everything that everyone said it would be. Cooking it on a flat top is perfect. The grilled cheese was a like a hockey puck of cheesy goodness. The guys working were sociable and friendly, and now we have our handy dandy punch card to use going forward. The Untz brand chips were a great add-on too. Can't wait for my next trip. read more

There are A LOT of smash burgers in LA. But Tripp stands out for a couple of reasons. 1) The blend of the beef. They use top sirloin, chuck, and a little bacon to make the burger. Any good burger should taste amazing on it's own without any condiments- it's a deal breaker if the meat isn't great. Well, this meat blend is fantastic 2) The fried onions. It's not like onion rings, but thinly sliced onions fried up on the flat top. They get crispy and add a different dimension of flavor and texture to the burger. Other than that, pretty standard stuff. Crispy edges. Condiments available (but honestly, it's better without...let the burger speak for itself). I'm loving all the LA street food available, and Tripp Burger are no exception. The burgers are a bit pricey, but the quality is there and you get a bag of chips included. read more

Had their catering at an event - their burgers are really good, and they were quick to serve everyone!

New to L.A, I was looking for a quick meal for the night and decided to give this place a try and am glad I did! Mark's burger blend really speaks for itself and makes this burger stand out from the rest. You can really taste the quality in the meat and while I personally enjoy a little more seasoning on my burgers, I will be coming back here often because the quality, care, and simplicity in the ingredients is superb. For this stop I got myself a double with the fried onions smashed in. I also really enjoyed the potato roll used for the burger. Really added a different dimension to the burger you don't find anywhere else. I see a hatch Chile burger on the menu coming soon according to the website and look forward to trying that soon. read more

Attitude was off the charts. The burgers are ok, not like they invented a smash burger, but they certainty act like they do. WestChester comes without anything on it, owner literally refused to let me put anything on it so I gave to my dog. It couldn't stand up on its own. For $20 I'll do whatever what I want with it. Oh and Frito-Lay is the best you can do for sides? read more

It's a perfectly serviceable burger grilled on a propane cooktop with small patties (make sure to order a double or a triple or a quadruple), and while I ordinarily love cheese of all kinds, this sure tasted a lot like Kraft Singles to me as opposed to something more tasty, let alone interesting. With Los Angeles being the home of a zillion tasty burgers, the main appeal here seems to be the fact that they're a burger stand as opposed to something more common?? read more

Tripp Burgers - On the sidewalk. - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tripp is a burger pop-up located right outside of CVS on Sepulveda and Palms -- love supporting small businesses! You get to see everything cooked fresh right in front of you as well! Ordered a double fried onion cheeseburger. The burgers come with a bag of chips of your choice (different types of potato chips), and all condiments on the side for you to add on your own. Would personally love if they started serving fries though, I think that'd go so well with the burgers! The burger was delicious. The fried onion gets smashed into the patty when it's on the grill. The buns are so light and fluffy, and toasted nicely. The only drawback would be that the burger is pretty small and kind of pricey!! I had actually gotten a single patty, but my boyfriend insisted that it wouldn't be enough for me -- he had tried the burgers before and also thought they were small. So I doubled up on the patty. He was absolutely right, it wasn't super filling :( so definitely something to consider if you're going there with an empty stomach! Tripp definitely has a good burger to try! But again, just a little bit on the pricier side for smaller sized burgers. Would definitely be more filling if the side was French fries instead of chips though! read more
