Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation and Time Out LA. Updated April 2026.
Hermon's · Highland Park
Infatuation's #1 LA burger — the "Ode to Chez Cheeseburger" is french onion soup in burger form, with a borderline-rare chuck patty bound by creamy onion sauce, bordelaise onions, and dijon.
The Apple Pan · West Los Angeles
Time Out's #2 and Infatuation's #19 — the 1947 Hickory Burger with secret house sauce is one of the last vestiges of 20th-century LA burger craftsmanship.
Bar 109 · Melrose Hill
Infatuation's #3 and Time Out's #6 — the Tuesday-10pm-only burger is an eight-ounce Aussie wagyu patty, charcoal-grilled and butter-basted with american cheese and house mac sauce.
Camphor · Arts District
Time Out's #3 and Infatuation's #14 — "Le Burger" is a French-technique dry-aged patty from a Michelin-starred kitchen.
Goldburger Los Feliz · Atwater Village
Infatuation's #12 and Time Out's #10 — the California Classic is a Big Mac riff with smashed shaved onions creating a thick middle and crispy lace edges.
