Classic burgers & vegan options in a retro diner space
"Burgerlords has been around for a five years now, but if you haven’t been back recently, you should. Why? Because as of July, they’ve switched to an entirely vegan menu. Their burger is entirely original (no Impossible patties here) and everything from the shakes to the sauces are meat and dairy-free. Both takeout and delivery are available." - brant cox, kat hong
"I noted that the original Burgerlords in Chinatown was described by Allen Yelent as “beautiful” and “iconic,” a real LA institution; when the revamped Burgerlords closed, Yelent reached out to the original owner, Fred Guerrero, to find out what was happening with the space and to connect with the landlords." - Rebecca Roland
"Originally founded by brothers Frederick and Max Guerrero as a vegan burger operation, Burgerlords' original Chinatown store closed on August 11 when the building’s lease expired; the new owners, Ben Richter and Alex Claster of Wake & Late, cited the off-main-street positioning, difficult parking, and the landlord’s desire for a long-term lease as reasons to cease operations." - Eater Staff
"At the Highland Park outpost on North Avenue 56, Burgerlords just signed a 10-year lease and reworked its hours to match diner demand, opening daily from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Richter says, “The intention for the Highland Park space is to grow more into the evening. The daytime crowd is not very heavy.”" - Cathy Chaplin
"The once-vegan Burgerlords has been acquired by Ben Richter, the operator behind Wake & Late. With the transfer in ownership, the restaurant’s menu now features only one main dish — a smash burger and fries for $25. The double patty burger comes with the option of Two Thousand Island dressing or ketchup and mustard slathered on top of two crispy patties and a housemade bun." - Rebecca Roland
