Goldburger

Burgers · $

Started as a backyard pop-up with lines down the block and still makes one of the best smashburgers in the city: two patties pressed hard at the edges so they stay juicy in the middle, with American cheese, charred onions, pickles and garlic-mustard aioli. The thicker Bar Burger with raw and pickled onions might be the better order. Get the curly fries.

Walk-inOrder at the counter; burgers come out in minutes. Right next door to the Los Feliz 3, so it fills up when a movie lets out.

Save is private and adds it to your shortlist. Vouch is public: it tells the editor, but doesn't change the rank.
