I’m feeling a nice stroll along the boardwalk… even if it’s a SoCal chilly 50 degrees outside. However, instead of a teeth-chattering walk, Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries restaurant was able to bring the warm wind and sandy beach vibes to me in the best way possible: WITH A BURGER.
Feast your eyes on what is often called the best burger in LA from LA’s first gastropub —
Do you ever have those nights when you just want a good burger? Man, I do. Rounds Premium Burgers in West Hollywood have those burgers and they invited us to come check them out. Their burgers are easily customizable and are just the right amount of everything you’d want in a good burger. It’s a balanced burger… pending your choice of additional toppings.
When you walk up, there’s a great patio outside with bar-height tables and chairs. They have a similar bar inside and tables as well, giving a casual vibe to the place. When you walk in you’re greeted by an organized ordering system. Other establishments are a little tougher to figure out so this was very intuitive.
I appreciate a place that actually wants me to understand what I’m ordering. The ordering sheets are a step by step guide to the burger ordering process itself. Also, there are just the right amount of options so I don’t have to ask, “So what’s actually in this sauce?”
We recently had the opportunity to go to Humble Potato in Westchester. Eric, the owner, loves to use basic ingredients to whip up wholesome, palatable creations that are heavily influenced by his childhood in Japan and Indonesia.
Yet another solid neighborhood joint. The staff was nice here and actually cared about presentation, quality, and customer care, which was nice.
Their fries are the best that we’ve tasted on this journey thus far. The pastrami breakfast burrito was also tasty!

If you’re a Pasadena-bound vegetarian, this is the place for you. This once again does fall into the cagegory of cool neighborhood joints, so you’re not going to go too far out of your way to eat here.
There must be a high concentration of vegans and vegetarians that can support a place like this. Everything that we had was pretty good. The fries were good and the mata burrito was good! The nuggets and the peanut butter shake were also worth mentioning. Overall, pretty good!

The pastrami burger was really good; it is definitely the best thing on the menu. The chili cheese fries: also tasty. They used shredded cheese and there weren’t pools of grease like some of the other places we’ve tried.
It’s another neighborhood-type joint; the building doesn’t really have anything unique about it. However, this one merits a bit further of a drive as it’s really pretty tasty here! It’s pretty sloppy, though, so you may not want to eat it until you get home.

Yum, you guys. Yum. This place has some real tasty eats. Probably one of our faves so far. We got some chili cheese pastrami fries that were seriously off the hook.
Their signature pastrami dip was also really tasty. You really can’t go wrong with anything here! This is our leader so far for L.A.’s best drive thru!

A fun, quirky little place with a koi pond out front. The chili cheese fries were pretty good. Another neighborhood type joint, if your neighborhood is kind of out in the middle of nowhere.
It’s in the City of Industry, but just feels a little out of the way. Overall slightly better than Chris’s, but like the aforementioned, not worth a long trip.

This is a solid neighborhood joint.
Like many of the other drive throughs in the area, it features pastrami items on the menu. If you’re close by it’s worth a visit but not worth a long trip out here.
