ONLY 2nd fiddle to In N' Out

by shortstackian

As the headline states, there's no better burger in Hollywood, esp. for the price. I got a double cheeseburger and fries for under $8.00. The burger was relatively larger than a Double-Double. It was juicy and very flavorful with all the fixings. The fries were very good also. Had some sort of seasoned salt. Nice and crispy. The atmosphere was welcoming. There's a small outdoor patio which is really cool esp. right now in the summertime. The service was awesome. Very nice Asian lady. Extremely friendly and courteous. As I said before, this is only 2nd to In N' Out, which could arguably be the greatest burger in the universe. But Irv's is great in its own humble way. Will definitely be going back again and again and again and again and again... You get the point...

• Pros: Patio Seating, Price, Burger Size, & Friendly Service
• Cons: No Parking - West Hollywood - what do you expect?

Best burgers in Los Angeles

by EmergentProperty

Definitely the best burgers in Los Angeles - and consistently good too!

Just a little correction to lanasmommy's post (08/31/2008): It wasn't the city that wanted to tear it down to build something bigger, it was the landlord (Irv's leases). The neighborhood revolt convinced the city to step in and declare the stand a cultural landmark.

The Best Little Hamburger Stand in LA County!!!

by lanasmommy

Irv's is a no frills hamburger stand, built many years ago. The city of WEHO was going to tear it down at some point so that a chain could move in and the neighborhood protested and petitioned to keep this land-mark in place. It is not pretty HOWEVER the hamburgers are simply amazing. This is a very friendly, neighborhood stand, the employees know you when you arrive and most time have your order memorized. They even draw smiley faces on the bags. ;) The price is absolutely a bargain and the burgers are fantastic. The fries are also awesome and well worth the trip. They are typically open M-Sat and close at 7 SHARP. Get there before 7 and you will NOT be disappointed. HIGHLY recommend this hamburger stand ... a real gem.

• Pros: amazingly fast and the food is fabulous! Very friendly staff, awesome burgers.
• Cons: For a hamburger stand, it is tops. :)
