Goldburger

Goldburger started as a tiny backyard pop-up in Highland Park, slinging smashburgers that quickly gained a cult following. Now with a brick-and-mortar location in Los Feliz, it still delivers crispy-edged, perfectly balanced burgers that keep people coming back. There’s no gimmick here—just quality beef, simple toppings, and expert execution.

The Goldburger is the move: double patties, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and garlic-mustard aioli on a squishy potato bun. The Hatch Chile Burger adds roasted green chiles for a smoky kick, while the LA Special keeps it classic with lettuce, tomato, and Goldburger sauce. Fries are always crinkle-cut, perfectly salted, and best enjoyed with a side of ranch.

With a laid-back vibe, no-fuss approach, and some of the best smashburgers in LA, Goldburger is proof that keeping it simple is the key to burger greatness.
