Vegetarians - hope the veggie burger is a special (photo) otherwise it's just salads , veggie chips , nuts , beer , wine and cocktails . Both the fries and the sweet potato fries are made with beef tallow.

Ameen Aqeel

The truffle burger was juicy tender heaven, it's been a while since I had one like it, the sweet potato fries were very good too (the peach ketchup complimented it perfectly.

LAist

The standard burger here is called a "PCB" and some would argue it's the best in LA. Don't let the dashi-enhanced cheese or the Soylent Green-sounding ketchup "leather " scare you away, it's delicious. Read more

Brad Davis

Ketchup leather - nuff said. Some of the best burgers around. Easily rivaling the local burger barrons like fathers office or r&d kitchen

Dipan Patel

Easily one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had in my life. If you get fries , get the ones that aren't fried in beef tallow. #vegetarian

Chloe

got veggie burger , the flavor of which is pretty good, but the texture of the patty is too moist and starchy, like soft bread , the temperature is also lukewarm. Def prefer shake shack's veggie burger !

Connie Chiu

Bleu print burger is amazing. Add the sweet potato waffle fries and crab dip too. The southern fry chicken was okay, not as crispy as I’d like. Great selection of beers too.

Tony Xerri

The Chef 's Favorite Burger can stand up to any hangover and kick it straight in the crotch. Yes, it's that good. The Kale Caesar was also huge and delicious. Wash it down with a few Mexican cokes .

Los Angeles Times

The gearhead version of a modernist hamburger : layered with ketchup leather , pickle shavings, homemade American cheese scented with kombu seaweed , and a microscopically thin layer of fried cheese . Read more

Thrillist

Try "The Blueprint " burger (topped w/ smoked blue cheese , "pig candy", fried onions , steak sauce , and peppercorn ), as its size'll make it significantly harder for you to move On To the Next One. Read more

Manda Currell

Despite the not particularly veggie friendly menu, they DO have a tasty veggie burger , laden with cheese . Happy hour is 3-6, couldn't find that info anywhere online, so here you go!

Daniel Hernandez

The Fried Chicken Sandwich is all you need to have here, I mean c'mon it has duck ham . If you're feeling a bit boozy have the Yuzu cocktail , fruity and strong. Girlfriend likes the veggie chips too.

Whitney M

Southern chicken fry with duck bacon , the plan check burger and the chicken chili cheese fries . They server, Germany, was particularly helpful and attentive.

Alexander Small

Chef 's New Favorite Burger is super good. The guacamole has a tiny bit of spice that makes it extra good.

Briana J.

LOVED the PCB burger . Fries were delicious with the pepper mayo dip . Not really a cronut but a cruller donut ; good but nothing more than a churro .

Winnie Khoo

Faves: Smokey Fried Chicken , Fries , Burgers : Blueprint , Southern Fry ; Skip: Chef 's Fav Burger , Cruller Donuts (go to Churros Caliente), Orange Smash

Kitty L

This might very well be the home of LA's best burgers ! Perfect date: order the PCB and Chef 's Favorite Burger and split an order of waffle fries . #todiefor

Hayacharm R

Reasonable prices, best burger compares to Umami burgers because of the creativity they have for a burger = a plus for that part. I wouldn't order the dessert , it's very plain.

Raj Patel

Had the PCB - solid, tasty, juicy burger . Started with the pickles (spicy , cucumber ) and paired it all with an Allagash Tripel. Perfect lunch .

Eric Tash

If you live in LA or visit, make it a mission to get here. My wife and I had the bleuprint burger and crab dip which were both superb and memorable.

Ali Derkhshan

Burgers Jidori fried chicken pickles .. Love this place but always order too much food because I want to try everything!

Jim Kirk

Cannot go wrong with the burgers here. Don't skip the donuts either. This will be a regular stop whenever I'm in the area.

We can all experience the burger of the future, warmed in a high-tech oven before it is seared on the griddle. Read more

Jordan Parker

Fantastic burger . Try the big candy (bacon ). I also enjoyed the cocktail with an egg in it.

Stephen Smythe

Give their signature burger with ketchup leather and a crunchy bun a run ...truly unique.

Los Angeles

Secret item : Chef Uchimura's grilled cheese sandwich , consisting simply of a pair of cheeses and pickles in a panko crusted crunch bun .

Ben Kim

Some of the strongest burgers in the land. Make sure to check the specials board. Regular fries >> sweet potato fries .

Alexa Haertel

Insider tip: any burger can be ordered with their hush hush chicken patty . Do it.

LAist

The Chef’s Favorite Burger lives up to the name: cheese two ways, bacon two ways, the much- publicized ketchup leather , hot sauce , and a fried egg for good measure. Read more

Noreen HW

Fried chicKen sandwich is what made their name, but we went recently and it’s not as good as it was before for sure. Not sure if it’s the chicken , or the seasoning, or ???? But tasted much blander.

Cat Lefebvre

The fries are some of the best I've had. Keep in mind they're fried in beef tallow (fat) though.

Marisa

You won't regret ordering the Chef 's Burger - cheese two ways, bacon two ways, ketchup leather , fried egg and hot sauce . Seriously?!?! Seriously!

Elizabeth L.

Fantastic fried chicken and Chef 's Favorite Burger . Skip the PCB and veggie chips . Great patio but abysmal/slow service.

Christopher Jones

The plan check burger and southern fry are my faces and the buck fifty wings are perfect when they are on special

Los Angeles Times

The whiskey here will be Japanese, but there are probably more Japanese whiskeys here than there are in the rest of the city combined. Read more

Love C.

Get the donuts . Really though. Get them. Melt-in-your-mouth-good! Like a churro ... But better.

Shahad albakri

The double cheese burger is so juicy, I like it.

Mike Friedlich

PCB Burger was amazing! One of the best burgers I've had. Fries were great too!

Ian Collins

$28 before tax/tip for a burger , tiny fries and bottle of generic beer .

Justin

Try one of the awesome beers on tap , make sure you match it up with either the southern fry chicken sandwich or an awesome burger .

Robert Amezquita

Burgers made to perfection. Bleuprint was great. Get the fries special while it lasts!

Frosty

Pastrami Hash with a fried egg . Delicious!

David Heiser

Amazing burgers . Get the PCB medium-rare. The ketchup leather is delicious.

Natalia Figueroa

The ketchup leather on the burger is a little sweet and overpowering. Good outside area.

Rose C

Long wait on a Saturday night, they don't take reservations . Enjoyed the Chef 's Favorite burger and the fries .

Celia

PCB burger and the Blueprint are the best burgers ever. And they stock Boulevard!

Aron Ortega

OMG! This is my new favorite burger place !!! Fried egg , ketchup leather , mmmm...

Brian Manning

The Chef 's Favorite Burger is the best burger I have ever had. Unreal.

Darren White

The truffle burger and sweet potato waffle fries are bomb! If you like pickles , order the whole flight
