Burgers She Wrote. – what’s your opinion? I rarely eat burger I don’t know what to think of it except that it was expensive for the portion ($21 incl. tax)

Wow this makes five guys seem more than reasonable

You can get the same thing at the Win Dow for like 12 bucks

Damn 21??! Better be the best burger you ever had.

Why the fuck is so much meat outside the bun? Wtf

I love their burgers. I think they’re one of the top 5/10 in La but what drops them for me is their fries. Salty AF (at least the time I had it). But yeah, $21 is a bit pricey – though I’m assuming that includes the fries and drink?

For 4 dollars more you could have gotten a #19 from Langers

Was Burgers She Wrote good? Yes. Have I had better smashburgers? Yes. Have I had worse smashburgers? Yes. Flavor was good. I was missing the super crunchy edges that I was expecting and it was pretty expensive combo. I still think Burgers Never Say Die has the most consistently delicious smashburger in town. I’ve been to most of the trendy spots. Still need to try Heavy Handed and Trophies.

That looks good but not worth $21 lol. Just go to in n out

Hipster tax on that beef 😂

Smash burgers are good, but they’re an excuse to charge 2x the price because they’re trendy. Sadly smash burgers will be uncool in a few years, just like other past trendy burgers
johnhensel
It’s real good, but way too expensive. Their Oklahoma burger is so good though, the smash turns the meat to beef-candy it’s so good. But like others have said The WinDow is also great with better prices.

Put in n out in Google and save yourself some dough

Is that a smashburger where they squash the patties into flat pancakes before cooking? In any case $21 is definitely on the expensive side. Get In-N-Out or Habit instead and save.

Not only is this obscenely expensive, but I foresee many of the pandemic-era forward new restaurants to fail in the coming years. So many people got into the industry with little to no experience because it was easy, the money was cheap, and there are companies that will finance and sell you everything you need to start. That’s why so many of the prices are so high, because they are underwater and the reality has sunk in. The money is no longer cheap, their product is incredibly overpriced, and the quality and drive needed to be successful in that business just isn’t there.
Something like one in three restaurants fail in their first year even in perfect conditions even when they have the drive and experience. Conditions are now very bad and the ease in starting one brought in people who wouldn’t have been able to get this far, now they’re stuck. Right now, people are still trying these spots, still willing to pay far too much for decent food, but that won’t last forever. Social media can only do so much to trick people into spending their money on badly overpriced food. Not only will this hurt the neighborhoods they opened in, leaving open business space, this will cause a real problem for the lenders and businesses that supported this growth. Hipster restaurant bubble will burst at some point.

Real talk nothing that you can’t make at home yourself with a griddle, metal spatula, quality ground beef, good cheese, and Martin’s potato rolls.
All these smash burgers popups are capitalizing on you lazy fools.

Tried it once and enjoyed it. Didn’t feel the need to go back.

I work nearby so I did try it. It’s good but not at those prices. Probably high rent for the area is the reason.

Nah. This ain’t it.
Go to GoldBurger, The Win-Dow, or For the Win. Much more reasonably priced and in my opinion, much better tasting.

Personally, I think smash burgers should be on par with In-N-Out price-wise. If I’m going to pay an arm and leg it better be some gourmet, high end shizz. I pay around 17 dollars for the burger at AJ’s and I think it’s worth it because of the quality of meat they use.

sigh…such a played out trend in LA. win-dow, heavy handed, burger she wrote. copycat smash burgers–makes in n out seem exotic lol.

I just discovered the one in Los Feliz. It was really good. But I admit it’s an expensive splurge, and a once in a while treat
mizzzikey
How many ounces of beef was this? $21 is outrageous.

Trophies Burger Club is blocks away, has a better burger, and you’ll get a big order of fries and a drink along with the burger all for less than BSW’s
Thaflash_la
Usually I can determine the taste when eating it. Is there something getting in the way of eating it?
oneironology
Expensive but it was honestly good when they first opened their Fairfax location. Tried the east Hollywood location and boy did the quality drop off. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it but if it’s around and you have the scratch its a decent choice

I gave it a 6.7/10
It’s a solid mid

Just_Direction1976
They don’t put enough salt on the burger imo. Also burger to bun ratio is off.

> $21 for fries and double patty. >
I saw that you mentioned it’s a double patty in the comments. 21 sounds about right for 2 patties with fries.
I love Goldburger and Amboy, but once you stack on another patty, this is about right.
Goldburger is $11 for a single patty, but a double patty is $4 extra. And fries are $5.
