Top 5 Burgers in Los Angeles
Editorial canon from LA's most-trusted food publications, weighted by cross-publication consensus.
- #1
The Apple Pan
West Los Angeles
“The 1947 counter is the platonic LA burger experience; Eater and LA Times consistently anoint the hickory burger and apple pie as must-try untouchable city history.”
- #2
Petit Trois
Hollywood
“Ludo Lefebvre's Big Mec — double patty, bordelaise-drenched on brioche — is LA's most-decadent restaurant burger and a consensus pick across Eater, LA Times, and Infatuation.”
- #3
Hermon's
Highland Park
“The Infatuation's top-ranked LA burger of 2025; the 'Ode to Chez Cheeseburger' is a French-onion-soup inspired masterwork that has food writers lining up nightly.”
- #4
Goldburger Los Feliz
Atwater Village
“Eater LA's model smashburger — the eponymous Goldburger with garlic-mustard aioli and the LA Special with shaved pastrami are the city's two most photographed smashes.”
- #5
For the Win
Hollywood
“Former fine-dining chef's smashburger concept with crispy cheese skirts and fry sauce — consistent Infatuation and Eater favorite for the best dollar-for-dollar burger on the Eastside.”
