This place has the best smash burger in LA without question. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere feels nice and summery. There is only outside seating however it's covered and comfortable for the most part. The food is amazing. They don't just smash hamburger meat, they season the patties and trust me that makes a huge difference. The patties are crispy on the edges and juicy in the middle and their burgers pair very well with their signature ronch sauce with the tater tots. The peppers are an added bonus. They also have great homemade hand apple pies though they do tend to sell out however. I am excited to try their hotdogs because nothing they serve is basic. read more

This is the best burger & tots in Eagle Rock, bar none. The smash-style burger was perfectly seasoned, and every standard veg element added was fresh and crisp. Their hot dog is the platonic ideal of what a hot dog should be. The old bay seasoning on their crispy tots is a stroke of genius. The inside is small, so it's basically an outdoor-only seating or take-it-to-go situation. Thankfully a tall brick wall, umbrella-toting picnic tables, and large sails give ample shade to their large lot. There are a few parking spots in the back if you're lucky, otherwise street parking should be easy to find. When enough people showed up to eat, it felt like a backyard kickback. Music was a perfect volume for conversation and their Regular Show-esque bespoke mural gave us a lot to talk about. You put your order in with friendly staff inside, and they call your name on speakers when it's ready. Ice cold water is freely available as well as some select beers, wines, and juices. It's not fast food, but it's not slow either -- you can't rush something as delicious as what they have to offer here. read more

Pretty enjoyable classic burger. It is simple but good. Its more of a smash burger when it comes to thickness but good with the fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion. The tater tots crunch gives more of an edge compared to the usual fries, which was refreshing. There's plenty of seating, more of a backyard style. There's plenty of art both inside and the seating area. They also offer ranch, which I think is worth getting. The parking was street and it was easy for us to get it for a weeknight. I would come back here again as it may be the best burger in Eagle Rock! read more

WHEN: Mon @8pm It's a chilly evening and the only seating options are outdoors. So we ordered our food to-go. But I can imagine how fun it would be to eat here during the day time. They have their own parking lot, but it's quite limited. Looks like part of it was under construction for expansion. Here's what I ordered: TATOR TOTS - $6 Fried crispy, tossed in old bay. Exactly how it's described and they delivered it--so good! SINGLE BURGER - $9 3oz patty with cheese, butter toasted bun, mayo, chopped chilies, onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce. Solid smash burger!!!!! Nuff said. I was sad they ran out of hand pies and that I because it was the end of the day. Need to come earlier for them. read more

The atmosphere here is so great! My kids love it. However, there are no options for plant based eaters. I desperately wish they would add a vegan hot dog or veggie burger. My family would go much more frequently if there was even one vegan option. I hope they do one day! read more

I liked it. Solid burger spot. No inside seating but there's a large covered patio area with picnic tables. Got the double, loved the crispy bits at the edges. Decent sized burger. Also got the hotdog, it was ok, but I think you can skip it. The tots were good, nice seasoning. Would definitely come back for that burger. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's a small lot in back or there's street parking but you might have to walk a block or two. read more

Solid burger spot over in Eagle Rock. Parking is street on Colorado Blvd. Came here on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. You order on the inside of the small building and eat in the adjacent outdoor, tented patio where there's a decent amount of seating. Restroom is on-site and it's very clean. There isn't a lot on the menu. Basically just burgers, hot dogs and tater tots. Sometimes that's a good thing. Ordered the following: - Double - 7.5/10: really solid burger. Well-seasoned smashed patties, buttery-toasted bun, and evenly balanced veggies inside. Even had bits of yellow peppers that gave it some heat. I liked that they didn't use the regular tarty burger sauce that everyone else uses on their smashburgers. Very tasty. - Tater tots - 8/10: they give you lots of these and can be easily be shared between two people. Very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely not grocery-store bought. No fountain sodas here, only cans and bottles. Prices are fair for what you're getting. Very solid spot. Would definitely come back, especially for the tots. read more

A smash burger with great balance. Once a pop-up stand, and now an excellent premium joint to get your burger fix. One of the many things wrong with smash burgers is the lack of the actual burger, as all the juices are stripped away, and all you really taste is crispy meat and an excess of cheese. Yellow Paper does a good job in maintaining a good burger with texture, with a balance complemented with a touch of spice/heat with the added chilies. The double is the choice, unless you're just not hungry. Their hot dog is above average with a snap. Tater Tots give those nostalgic feelings and are a good alternative to fries. Cokes are a hefty $4 a bottle, but there is beer available. All seating is outdoor, and knowing the neighborhood, it is also dog-friendly. read more

I think this burger spot is super cute. It's an assuming burger spot located in Eagle Rock. The menu is simple with burgers, fries, and drink options. I got a double, tater tots, and their "ronch" dipping sauce along with a drink. It was the perfect combo. The prices are reasonable as well in my opinion. The outdoor seating is super cute and is very family friendly which I liked. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to take their family out for burgers in the area. read more

If I'm craving a burger and in the Eagle Rock area, I'm going to stop here to eat. We ordered single burgers, some tots and ronch, and a coke. Their burgers are very good and have a touch of heat which you don't expect but I enjoyed it. Also, the only smash burger I've had that is served with lettuce and all the fixins on top. The tots are very flavorful and seasoned well but can be a tad salty. Nice, shaded outside area with a variety of tables, Staff is always super friendly and outgoing. Next time I will need to try their hand pie! read more

Burger was amazing. Tots are a must!! The young woman who takes the orders is always so nice and welcoming. The only down fall to this is no AC, so it can get pretty uncomfortably hot. Would suggest coming later at night when it's cooler. read more

Having it on the spot is the best. Whether it's there on the outdoor area or in your car, it tastes so fresh. I usually get the single as is and tater tots. The day I went I got the cinnamon pop tart and it was awesome. The cashier also supported the choice. The burger has the crispy edge which is one of a kind. The tater tots are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service goes along with the food and that it is unassuming and simple, but perfect. Parking is on the street or in the back but totally doable. read more

Smash that burger! The first time I went here, the burger was so good that even my 10-month-old baby loved it and couldn't stop eating. We ordered a double burger and a kids' burger. I loved the tater tots they were well-seasoned, super crispy, and served fresh and hot. I seriously loved them! On our second visit, we ordered the same items but asked for no chili in the burger. It was still tasty. However, the patty in the kids' burger was overcooked and too crispy, so my 1-year-old couldn't chew it. He ended up just eating the bread. That day, the place was crazy busy we didn't mind waiting 30 minutes. But I was disappointed with the lack of consistency. At least the tater tots were still served hot and delicious. read more

Super Cool Spot. Super Chill Vibe. I've been having my eye on this spot for a min, maybe too long. Unfortunately at the time in their early days hours didn't mesh with mine. Today was a Great Day! So I decided to just get in the car and head out to Eagle Rock.m, Let Fate guide me. And it Did! Yellow Paper Burger is kinda Awesome. Like in the Dope sense. No nonsense and clean. The Burger was Dope! Delicious. Hot and Freshly made OG style. I'm a new fan. The service was amazing, Smiles and Good Energy everywhere. I'm in and out of the area but they have an adorable outdoor seating area off the sidewalk behind a fence that's is really Sweet. Spacious enough that it affords pet owners room to bring their Furries. I will return!!! I'm making my first visit 3:30PM on a Friday in January and it's Lovely- OG Stylie. Love the Music and the "Vibe". Solid Spot. Annnnnd on Route 66. read more

I saw this place on the way to yoga and was curious. I was craving a burger one day so I stopped by. I appreciated the parking in the back, the lot is small but I was easily able to find a spot Saturday afternoon. Inside is tiny. The door you see on the street is actually the exit! You enter on the backside. It's a vibe tho. I was honestly surprised at how many employees were there. 2 in the front and 3, maybe 4 in the kitchen area. Fun music, cashier was really sweet. I appreciate the simplicity of their menu. I was intrigued by ronch, $1's pretty low stakes, so I did that with a double. Cute seating area if you choose to stay. It was a warm day so I got it to go. I'm not a stranger to the smashburger phenomenon, this one was fine, just not great or something I'd crave. I asked about the chilies put on it and was told they were hot, so I omitted them, but I can't imagine hot chilis making this a 5 star burger. It was mid. The ronch wasn't bad. The meat was seasoned so it wasn't that, it just wasn't 5 star worthy. A lot seem to like it so I may be in the minority on this but imho a smash has to have some kind of pull. Overly flavorful meat, a fun sauce with pizzazz, delicious bread to encapsulate the goodness. Something to stand out. This wasn't that. Wasn't bad by any stretch. I was satiated, but to the point of like ya, I ate. Not omg that was the best! That being said I do love supporting local, so don't go by me. I need big flavors or something stand out in this setting, this may be that for you. Buen provecho. read more

Some of the best things are born out of necessity and others through evolution...but what happens when something born of necessity evolves? You get Yellow Paper Burger. Started as a pop up during the lockdowns, their white van, canopy, and fold up tables now have roots in Eagle Rock, on that eclectic stretch of Colorado Boulevard. Yellow Paper Burger 1.0 was punk rock and Michelin quality all rolled into one. So what happens when the anti-establishment gets established? Thankfully, it's more of the same. There's always a fear that when things change, they might not always be for the better, but I'm glad to say they've kept the vibes going in the new spot. In some ways the new spot is too clean...a lot of white counter tops and walls...a little bit sterile, but it also evokes classic burger stand motifs. While it lacks the grittiness of their dive bar/brewery/side of the road set ups of the past, it is made up with a great collection of characters behind the counter and of course the menu remains mostly untouched. With all the smash burger spots popping up, what separates Yellow Paper from the rest? Simplicity. It's just a well seasoned patty (or two) that's just the right crispiness on the edges, perfectly melted American cheese, some freshly chopped veggies, a little bit of mayo on a soft toasted potato bun, some pickles, chopped yellow chilis for a bit of a kick, and of course, wrapped in yellow paper. There's no secret sauce to overpower the other flavors. It's not a vehicle to deliver you onion mush or truffles or whatever else doesn't belong on a classic burger. While an avocado or bacon might be great on this, it doesn't need it. That's what makes it great. It's a burger that's a burger. If there is one complaint I have about the move to the brick & mortar...the burgers kinda don't taste as good. I mean, this is still one of the best burgers you can get in the city, but there's some drop-off from the last time I had these burgers in the wild. I think it's just a matter of seasoning their new flat top so I guess that means coming back more often. The one aspect they've kept from their rock and roll days is the outside patio. It may be a huge drawback on that day or two it rains in LA, but there's no indoor or covered seating...but the patio is a great place to enjoy a drink, a burger, and some of the other things on their menu. The pickled egg is an amazing little snack. They reuse the brine from the yellow chilis and it gives the egg this nice yellow tinge on the outside. Served with some chips and a hit of salt and pepper, it's tangy, salty, and if it wasn't 5 bucks an egg, completely crave-able. The hand pies are also another reason to come here. I believe the fillings change with what's in season. Apple is the usual go to, but I've had berry and I think peach was an option at some point too. No matter the filling, it's the flaky crust that makes it great. It helps that one of the co-founders was an executive pastry chef. Yellow Paper may be relatively new, but it already feels like a classic. Get a double, a hand pie, a cold one...sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. read more

Awesome vibes, friendly service. I could tell the ingredients they use are all high quality. The burger just isn't for me though. It's too salty and on the spicy side. I paid $28 for a double burger and an apple hand pie - quite expensive. The apple hand pie was totally awesome, but I'd recommend that they warm it up first. read more

Visited for an early dinner and really enjoyed it. Service was super quick and friendly! It's basically all outdoor patio seating. You order inside at the counter and they will call your name to pick it up. We got a Tobiko Dog (which was a daily special that day), a double cheeseburger, pickled egg with chips, and tater tots (with an additional side of "ronch"). All were super tasty and we'll definitely be back if we're in the area! read more

Pretty good double cheeseburger and the tater tots were very good, I liked those more than the burger honestly. This is, of course, for my taste, but I do wish the burger was a little more rare. Overall, I liked the food, and being able to order online and customize everything was great--it felt like they cared about different preferences, which I appreciated. I got this order to go, but the vibes at the restaurant were super cool, very nice picnic-seating area and good choice of pop/rnb music. I would come back with friends on like a casual lunch or dinner because you can get a nice burger meal while having a nice place to chill out. read more

Months ago, our buddy Edgar invited us to Yellow Paper Burger's grand opening. I confidently led us to... their old pop-up spot. So yeah, we missed it. Flash forward to today--we're heading to Kavat Coffee when BAM, the burger gods drop Yellow Paper Burger five minutes away. Universe: 1, me: finally catching up. Now I should've ordered a burger (it's in the name), but my rebel heart said "get the hot dog." And listen... it slapped. Soft bun, perfect snap, not too salty, didn't need ketchup (who even am I?). Mild onions, crunchy pickles, mustard with that zesty kick--chef's kiss. Can't wait to go back for the burger, tots with "ronch," and yep--another dog. Patio's spacious, vibe's immaculate, and there's shops nearby to walk off your food coma. read more

Yellow Paper Burger - Double cheese burger. Quintessential. And essential. Eagle Rock rules! - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

These are the reviews I hate to post because I was looking forward to this burger. The location is very cute and the staff are super duper nice. It's the burger that fell short for me. It's an ok burger. The meat didn't have those smash burger crispy lacings and was over seasoned making it too salty for me even the overload of lettuce couldn't balance it. And there were too many condiments out this burger as well. Maybe less toppings and seasonings and you might have something. And for the price point I fell there are better options for less or equal value. read more

Not sure how many times we've driven by and not noticed this place! But we saw it today and headed in for a bite to eat. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area and waited only a few minutes for our food. I had a single smash and my son had a double and we shared an order of tots. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We appreciated that it was equally clean inside as well as outside and that there is care and attention to detail that is reflected in the food and restaurant itself. We look forward to our next visit! read more

Ooook this place is delicious! I'm hesitant to call this the best burger in LA after only 1 visit but honestly it's up there. Limited hours so it's been busy every time I've passed by. Great outdoor seating set up but the playlist while I was there was a smidge to country/western for my tastes but YMMV. Regardless, will be back soon to try more! read more

Very solid spot for a casual family dinner. I went with my wife and our two young kids. The patio area has plenty of picnic tables and is kid friendly -- lots of families and room to run around (within reason). The food is also very good. The tater tots are very salty/seasoned and the burgers are classic and tasty. One warning: the burger has a ton of pepper on it and is quite spicy/peppery because of it. I liked that but might not be for everyone. Service was also very friendly and fairly quick. read more

We got takeout on a Saturday evening around 530pm as we've been wanting to try this place for a long time. We ordered the double and tater tots to go. We waited for about 15 min while our order was made and I got to check out the outdoor space which was really lovely. I can definitely see taking in an adult beverage or a few of them over the course of an afternoon here. Staff were really helpful and kind. The tater tots were heavy (probably a lot of oil used to fry them) so one order is shareable. The double burger was solid but for $14 it's hard to say it's dramatically better than in-n-out. I compare yellow paper burger to in-n-out because the flavor profile is similar. I recognize that the scale of in-n-out lowers the price point for them so it's an unfair comparison in many ways. read more

Yellow Paper Burger - Double smash burgers - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best burgers in LA hands down ! Honestly best burgers anywhere when executed correctly! In truth, my original review was five stars, but I knocked it down one star after actually eating my order yesterday. I started to write this review while in line and changed my mind afterwards . The burgers are still good, but they don't taste the same as the pop-ups. I'm not sure if it's a training issue or that for margins.... the ratio of toppings to meat has changed but my burgers yesterday were just good and not life-changing as they usually are . There seems to be too much lettuce and less spice as usual. While the patty has always been smashed, it seemed to be too thin compared to the past and it was a lot less salty, which I actually liked about the original pop-up version. Really really love the salty pepper goodness of the original version , which is why the pop Up version of the burger was even phenomenal cold . Customer service is great and in general I'm so excited/happy that they finally have a brick and mortar location here in Eagle rock. Wait is about the same as with the former pop-ups because the volume people here is crazy and the standards and quality haven't changed which means you have to wait ! You enter through the back to order and there's a ketchup, hot sauce and water station located there for your convenience as well . There's a little garden area and tables if you want to stay and eat on site . read more

Went yesterday for the first time, and I'm a local. Truly felt the the lady at the counter wearing a Walts hat was aggressive to the point of being rude. We walked in (very warm outside) and the door stuck open. She quickly yelled at us to "close the door!". Great start, fix your door please?! And..NO ONE ELSE was in line, just me and my friend inside or outside. She rushed us, as I was trying to look around/get my bearings and scope the beers they had as well. She was super (visably) upset her upselling did not work on us to buy more than just a burger each. I would have if I did not feel rushed/felt her being annoyed. She asked for my name at the end to call, intro'd herself and said nice to meet you--sadly I would have preferred to talk to anyone but her/use a kiosk at that point. Ruined the whole experience for us--which was so strange. Not sure why the front door is not the main door here? Puzzling. The burger was...fine. 7/10. The mural/art was nice. The one garbage/place to put trays could be upgraded order to be polite. read more

No frills, no fuss just good ol' smash burgers. The line will be crazy, but it moves super fast since their menu has the basics. Service is friendly, funny, and efficient. 5/5 - Excellent smash burger with crispy edges. They come with all the fixings-- mayo, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, jalapeños. Every bite is a perfectly crafted taste of fresh, greasy, salty, spicy, umami goodness. 4/5 - Pickled eggs are made reusing the pickled jalapeño brine! Love reducing food waste. I enjoyed the chips + egg + pepper combo, a very unique side. The acidity is very welcome with how greasy burgers and fried food gets. 5/5 - Tater tots were fried to perfection and seasoned SUPER well! Loved how herbaceous the ronch is, but I personally found the base to be too tart and wish they balanced it out more with mayo. 3/5 - Hand pie, taste is good but I found the pastry dough to be too thick for my liking. Would pass next time. read more
