"When deliberating over classic LA burgers, the conversation typically veers toward spots north of the 10 Freeway. Hawkins House of Burgers, a restaurant close to heart for many Watts locals, deserves full consideration for its towering burgers served in a traditional style or with toppings like griddled pastrami, hot links, and bacon. The Willowbrook restaurant opened in 1939 and remains family-owned and operated." - Mona Holmes
