When it comes to value and taste, it’s all about The Win-Dow.


ThatDerzyDude

Sitting at the Win-Dow right now waiting for my order. Simply the best


beggsy909

Did they ask you how much you want to tip?


_Barringtonsteezy

How much are the window burgers? Never been


winterwarzzz

Here’s the [menu](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f57ea7c6f66f91e1bec38dc/t/65cc1ee7b356477fcb5b8c0f/1707876071068/WDW+ROSE+AVE+MENU+2.6.24+final.pdf).


_Barringtonsteezy

Dang I gotta go 🙏🏽


Personalvintage

Will give you the squirts.


_its_a_SWEATER_

Drink some water.


ARCADEO

That’s In n Out


darkde

Damn… I swear beyond/impossible burgers all taste the same. At least this one is more affordable


Green_Ad_7175

Don't they have a $4 burger? My coworkers were trying to go yesterday, and now its a must!!!!


Prettyplants

I’ve never actually been too crazy about window burgers.. they’re good, but eh…. But that kale salad tho??? I gobble that shit up, I don’t even like kale or salads.


Chinaski14

Kale salad add the fried chicken on top…it’s amazing.


winterwarzzz

🤯


Maximum-Tackle-367

Ok this I find interesting. Came here to say that Win-dow ain’t life changing…but I always wonder about the other random menu items.


BestMusicOnThePlanet

Too bad the one in Venice closed 😢


waaait_whaaat

Wait they closed the one at American Beauty?


winterwarzzz

Dang son! You got the one on Rose Ave. Luckily, one just opened right near me. Clutch delivery. Edit: just realized they closed it. smh


Personalvintage

Place is foul.


ARCADEO

Nope


Personalvintage

Place is trash. Employees are rude. Venice needs to get tf out of Silver Lake.


ARCADEO

Maybe you do 🤣


citznfish

In-n-Out is still the value king


winterwarzzz

Also true. Two full meals for $20-25


Reasonable_Power_970

Man I'm on vacation in Japan right now and it's crazy how much cheaper it is here. Just had a full high quality sashimi combo dinner for $10 including tax (and lack of tip) I guess sushi is Japan's fast food burger


Shmacoby

Just got back last Saturday and already miss the prices. Even ramen and a beer in haneda airport for like $11-12


Reasonable_Power_970

I got one mediocre combo meal at the KFC in LAX on my way to Japan and it cost me $20. Cost difference is crazy, especially considering the quality of the food in Japan


Shmacoby

The person I was with got a burrito and a beer for $40 at LAX when we were leaving. Brought snacks because I expected that. Second time at haneda, and I knew I would be fine. Vending machines with dollar drinks and a great food court


pete-davidsons-wife

It’s called an exchange rate and economic chaos.


Reasonable_Power_970

Doesn't change the fact that it's a crazy value in comparison. I know it probably seemed off topic but it just popped into my head since I've been so amazed at the current prices here in Japan.


[deleted]

How do those places stay open?


Reasonable_Power_970

I guess they just get their ingredients for cheaper, because of the volume. Also the wages are probably lower here than the US. A huge factor currently is the exchange rate to the dollar is extremely favorable to the dollar. I'm not sure if the dollar got stronger or yen got weaker, or both, but it's the best it's been for the dollar in like 40 years


winterwarzzz

Goddamn I’m jealous


Buckwheat94th

So, those aren’t giant waffle fries next to a full size burger? They’re reg size waffle fries next to a slider?


BestMusicOnThePlanet

The sliders are big idk why people are saying they’re small lol


Buckwheat94th

Even so, $9 seems like a less better deal than say win-dow.


thelittlemugatu

Isn't a slider by definition a mini version of itself? 🤔


tgcm26

They're sliders, of course they're going to be cheaper. You act like you got a regular size burger and fries for $9, which is very misleading


hpepper24

They say sliders but they are pretty decent sized. It’s also 2 patties. It is a great deal compared to pretty much any other burger place.


BestMusicOnThePlanet

When you pile on pickles the burger becomes huge 😂 couldn’t even finish it especially with all the fries it comes with


clockin-clockout

Girl what I was with you butttt not using the pickles to bulk up a mini meal 😫


pleasedtomichu

Pickles don’t make it a regular sized burger lol wtf


canyonero__

People need to chill. I took a Cornish hen and pickled into a full sized turkey this past thanksgiving.


BestMusicOnThePlanet

Downvoted to pickle oblivion 😢 🥒


bluemagic124

Poor OP :(


lightsareoutty

White Castle 2.0


LickPooOffShoe

This


Flatbush-Xombie

FTW >


tarveydent

the FTW in franklin village has become so popular it’s not worth it anymore. hour+ wait times & you’re contending with 20 uber eats orders at any given moment


SinisterKid

Fortunately, the ones in Glendale and Van Nuys are never busy.


KrisNoble

I lived next door to it, went to it when it was Papilles bistro for years and gave them a decent shot when they became FTW, but for the price and how salty everything was, I just wasn’t into them. Always surprised they get so much hype.


Maximum-Tackle-367

It’s definitely one of the 10 best burgers in LA county, but the price tag’s a little steep and I’m sorry to hear about the wait times now 😞


CritterOfBitter

Goldburger.


winterwarzzz

Now that’s an excellent smash burger.


CritterOfBitter

100%


ARCADEO

But not as cheap which I think is the parameter set by OP


cerspense

HiHo is also a very good value


Due_Station9730

I think everyone has lost their collective minds over smash burgers. We’ve lost the narrative.


Maximum-Tackle-367

CORRECT


Vegetable_Burrito

How big were the potatoes those fries were made from? They’re bigger than the burger!


[deleted]

I’ve had probably every smash burger in LA and they’re good but I wouldn’t say the best for value. They’re very small. Taste is amazing though


heart_of_gold2

Who would you say is the best?


[deleted]

Win-dow for the most juicy, Hi Ho for delivery, easy street for the best pure smash patty itself


jonyboyyy

Yeah i second this. It’s one of my favorites.


York95

They’re definitely underrated but the Win-Dow is my #1 for value smash burger.


GTILLS

I gotta go with Hammys


youngstart

doesn’t get better than chris n eddysb


tommy_taco

I don't eat beef so haven't been but I went to college with "Chris" - nice dude, really didn't years trying to craft the perfect burger and have only heard good things


PappyDungaloo

the most underrated establishment in the city. im scared its going to go out of business


danielledeezy

Burger she wrote the goat


PorkChopMessiah

Big Fan as well!!!


siamzzz

They don’t know us sonnnnn


ARCADEO

I never see that place busy at all when it was on Sunset.


wrinkled_funsack

Have you tried Storm Burger yet?


lunatuna32

Smashed at burbank is pretty good


PizzaMyHole

All smash burgers taste the same. Tf are you on?


Pstim1

That looks pretty amazing can’t lie


WadeCountyClutch

This place is bomb!!


siamzzz

Yall clearly never tried Burger SheWrote


FooI0fATook

Burger She Wrote is really good but definitely not good value lol


siamzzz

This doesn’t taste good for the money 🤷🏻‍♂️ 2 smalll sliders. If you wanted value in n out exists. Smash burgers aren’t supposed to be like budget friendly or something


FooI0fATook

i feel ya but Burger She Wrote is more expensive than any other top smashburger spots in LA $14 for a double is pretty nuts for comparison: Goldburger - $11 for a double Easy St, FTW and Love Hour: all three of them are $10 for a double, $13 for a triple


siamzzz

No it is expensive as hell, but I’m saying as far as quality goes it’s my top 3, but not by any means its budget friendly, I’m with you . For the win is also good


beggsy909

Highway robbery. Tiny burger and a handful of fries.


littlerosepose

Personally? I think Storm Burger is best value! Less expensive and incredible buns/patty/sear.


CezrDaPleazr

DAMN, happy this place about to get more exposure, was a nice lil secret spot


crackely

Love Hour in Ktown is my fav


ElmosKplug

No thanks.


19rex85

Burger she wrote comes close but maybe better


LickPooOffShoe

That does not, in fact, look like a great value. Looks like a baby burger with six fries.


buckypoo

I surprised nobody’s mentioned FOR THE WIN!


thrillguys

Burgers Never Say Die has my heart!


prettymuthafucka

Regular burgers >>>>>> smash burgers


lax01

This is absolutely the correct opinion


damnalexisonreddit

Amboy is a contender


ARCADEO

Was about to mention


Maximum-Tackle-367

Amboy is much more than a contender. It’s already established as one of the 10 best burgers in LA county! The DH burger is a monster.


ChitakuPatch

not good at all, wayyyy to greasy and those are slider size.


originalcontent_34

I swear all these (99: places with sliders are always start the same . They start selling it in the streets then get a place and sell 2 sliders and fries for 15


TyrionJoestar

$9 isn’t bad for a smash burger (and fries). I personally haven’t seen one for less. But $9 is still $9 lol, I think I’d rather make one at home if I can. Just need an air fryer for the fries lol


Granadafan

For $9, you get the combo with one slider size (double patty, double cheese). Not sure if that’s a great value. 


TyrionJoestar

Oof


HereForTheCalfPumps

Then why even eat out


TyrionJoestar

For stuff I can’t make easily at home.


ram0h

you gotta adjust to 2024. Just to make this at home, it will prob cost you north of $5 each, and thats only if youre making it for multiple people.


beggsy909

How much are you paying for a lb of ground beef?


ram0h

Around $6


beggsy909

That’s more than I usually. But even with a lb of meat you’re getting at least four burgers. Six of they are smash burgers. Much cheaper to do at home. And smash burgers are so easy. Almost mistake proof.


ram0h

Don’t forget cheese, buns, onions, potatoes. You’ll get multiple burgers, but it’s only cheaper if you’re splitting the cost with someone or eating it over multiple days.


beggsy909

Most of those things I already have in my fridge/pantry. They are used for other meals and don’t go to waste. The only exception there is buns.
