Burgers 99 is a retro-chic burger haunt on La Brea, serving up tasty smash burgers, thick-cut fries, and nostalgic vibes that make for a fun hangout.
"La Brea’s Burgers 99 decided that less is more with its no-frills menu. One can get classic burgers or the star of the show breakfast sandwich with American cheese, fried egg, and thick-cut bacon." - Eater Staff
"While your friends choke down their fourth Gardenburger in five days, you’re showing them up by bringing a bag of Burgers 99 to the Zoom party. The new spot on La Brea serves good burgers across-the-board, but our favorite is the American - cheese, diced onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup all on a crispy potato bun. It’s essentially their take on the Quarter Pounder, only much, much better than McDonald’s. Throw in some French fries and a vanilla shake, and your ’50s Americana fantasy will be alive and well. Open Wednesday-Sunday 12-8pm for takeout and delivery." - brant cox
"The newest spot on this guide, Burgers 99 will fulfill all your fast food-related desires if you’re in Hollywood or Weho. This La Brea burger joint serves the American, the closest thing we’ve had to a Quarter Pounder that’s not actually a Quarter Pounder (and don’t worry, it’s much better than the McDonald’s version). It’s got a charred, crispy beef patty on a Martin potato roll that’s slathered with ketchup, and served with diced onions on top. And, in extremely not-fast-food style, the their Vegan Burger is also really good - they make it with chickpeas, potato, and black lentil, and it’s approximately a million times better than the Impossible burger they serve at Burger King." - brett keating
"A fast food-style joint on La Brea from the brothers behind Badmaash, Burgers 99 serves - you guessed it - burgers. But unlike some other new burger spots in town, these are burgers we’d go out of our way for. The classic cheeseburger ($6 for a single, $9 for a double) is good - it involves Thousand Island dressing made with cumin, peppers, and coriander - but our favorite is the American. It’s their take on a Quarter Pounder, and it’s much-improved on the inspiration. The fries aren’t fast food-style, but they are thick, crispy, and perfect for dipping in one of their milkshakes - or an off-menu orange soda float. There’s also a semi-secret back patio where you can spread out and scarf it all down." - Brett Keating
"The Mahendro family gets a major profile in the Land magazine, with an inside look at how the Badmaash and Burgers 99 operators have become so successful in Los Angeles." - Matthew Kang
