I’m always on the hunt for new spots to try during DineLA, and I hit the jackpot with this place near downtown Santa Monica.

Wow. Francis and the staff tonight we’re on FIRE! Their energy was so good. The place was packed and they were kicking butt making sure everyone was taken care of. The food was fantastic and absurdly cheap for LA. Will be coming back 100%.

Nice atmosphere, staff was friendly. I found the lettuce wrap burgers mediocre. Way too greasy. Same with the soaked fries. I guess some people are into that kinda grease. Also they overcharged us $2 for a happy hour chips appetizer, maybe since it was 5 minutes before happy hour started? We didn’t address it, just deducted from our tip.

Today I tried Pono burger for the first time, and it was delicious. There truffle Parmesan Fries were delicious, and there burgers were very delicious. They were also very healthy for a burger place.

Nice clean place situated on the corner . Open airy 2 structures friendly helpful staff. 1st time here had classic burger and onion rings and Some sweet potatoe fries. Food was juicy and good tasting, sweet potatoes fried strings not the easiest to eat in shoe strings ,messy. Onion rings were great sadly u get like 5 .. for value so so. This area for a visitor I guess it is priced accordingly. Good atmosphere nice meal choices.

Absolutely delicious food and great vibes. We were impressed that all of the burgers are organic beef. Their menu is huge, so plenty of options for everyone. The fries are definitely worth ordering. Also make sure you sit inside the structure so you can be one of the cool kids.

If there’s such a thing as a healthy burger place, this is it in Santa Monica! Our server was super attentive and we were sat and given menus straight away.

Very solid 4 stars. Burger tasted great, and was worth the wait. 4 and not 5 stars because the onion rings were just slightly underwhelming for the price.

The best strawberry shake! Indoor seating within the signature Quonset hut has great ventilation and the outdoor patio has a nice ambience. Great flavors with all of the food, whether starters or burgers, and all are enhanced by their sauces.
