Horrible!. I don't get this place and it's reputation. I have had two of the worst fast food experiences at this place. Once at this location and the other in Vegas. The burger are dry and tasteless! They are horrible! This place is absolutely no competition for In-n-out and I don't know how they have stayed in business. The fries were nothing special, but at least they weren't as lame as the burgers. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!

Cheaper than Hamburger Hamlet, tastier than McDonald's--Fatburger might just be the superhero of fast food.. The Scene
This is a fast-food joint all the way: Order at the counter and employees, sans headphones, bark the order to the fry cooks. Retro jukeboxes usually hold court in the middle of the restaurants, but are rarely used, since jazz and R&B are always piped in through speakers.

The Food
Sure, there's the grilled chicken sandwich and the chili dog, but other than that, it's all burgers. Wrapped in paper, served on plastic trays and dripping with toppings--mustard, mayo, relish, tomatoes, lettuce and onion--these burgers are definitely fat. Add cheese, bacon and a fried egg and you've got a hefty, cholesterol-laden treat. Or go the healthy route and order the turkey burger with everything; it's almost as good as the red-meat variety, and just as messy. Skip the ordinary fries and order a side of the fresh onion rings--the grease factor is low, and the crispy, golden batter is delicious.

Lives up to reputation. Recently new to L.A., I had always heard about Fatburgers -- but never actually tasted one. And darn it, if they didn't taste as good and grilled as I heard and hoped. Truly one of the better fast-food burgers out there. I would put it up their amongst other lengendary offerings like the Whataburger and Hungerbuster. Though, I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the lackluster fries.
