"In addition to crowd-pleasing smash burgers and fries, Heavy Handed offers an irresistible opportunity for kids to indulge in a childhood favorite: ice cream. Here, that comes in the form of soft serve swirled into a cup or cone, the latter best dipped to form a strawberry, chocolate, cookies and cream, or butterscotch shell. The bright aesthetics of the place are enough to make the young set feel like they’ve reached some sort of burger nirvana. Along with its newest location in Silver Lake, Heavy Handed also has outposts in Studio City and Santa Monica." - Nicole Adlman
