Goldburger Los Feliz — Restaurant in Los Angeles

wow. what a random pull over because we cant decide on lunch becomes finding this gold in los feliz! we found this place, i checked online and saw its a popup deal, so why not?! i got the goldburger as is (i try to judge burger places for what they are known for or wish to) and my lady did the patty melt and we got a side of curly fries. they were starting at 10 per but you gotta sense when it may be worth to get a 10 dollar burger...plus its not fast food 20 dollar burger!) we waited the 15 minutes and cause god bless online ordering we just waited in the car til we were blessed to walk into a scent like no other. my initial response was a verbal and shocked cause of the flavors so i blurted "oh man!" the guy at the counter said enthusiastically "oh yeah!" he gave me my order and wow. the grilled onions are sooo finely cut. these are steakburgers so there are two thinner pads but for those that dont know steakburgers, they dont hold as well, so making a thicker pad is...well...kind of impossible without it falling apart. nehoo, the mix of all, with the bread....wait! the patty melt was just as good! i had a few bites before giving my friend her meal back. i almost pugged the half of her sandwich! and those curly fries are seasoned and cooked just right! i hope this place becomes a more stable restaurant.

i would add pics....but its gone...GONE! i wonder if they open for...

The best smash burger I've had anywhere, and I've had a ton. Forget Burgers Never Say Die, Heavy Handed, and all the rest. This is IT. I took one bite of my Goldburger and hopped back in line to order a second one.

The burger at first doesn't look like much, or impressive really at all. It looks dry, and boring. But the bun just works, the mayo they use is spectacular, and the most memorable aspect of the burger is the MEAT. The sheer amount of juices in the meat is stellar, even in the crunchy bits you'd think would be dry are chock full of juice. Call it greasy, sure, but you can tell the meat is extremely high quality. It's so rich, juicy, and the texture is PERFECT with a huge crispy skirt and a soft center. It even stayed warm for a long time, and was ready super quickly as well which were great bonuses!

I didn't want the LA burger which has pastrami but I did want to try the pastrami so I ordered it on the side... it's excellent.

I also ordered the regular fries, which honestly, were just average. They don't match the burger in quality, but they're just fine. I should've gotten the curly fries instead as those tend to be a bit more unique. I did try their aioli and their Russian sauce which were both an extra charge and they too were excellent and went great with the fries..

This place is a win for me. The burger is...

Sometimes when you’re craving a burger, all that’s left to do is finally visit another LA smashburger institution. And let me tell you, the eponymous burger here is hands down one of the best I’ve had in the city to date. The patties were perfectly smashed and seasoned, while the copious amounts of grilled onions in every bite were the perfect complement. And while the slightly under-salted curly fries didn’t necessarily blow me away, it was refreshing to have the option in the first place. Admittedly it’s a tad pricey, and for that reason, I can’t see myself coming here as often as someplace like The Win~Dow, but every once in a while you just gotta...
