"Slightly removed from the busy part of York Boulevard in Highland Park, Parsnip is a nice change from the “don’t look, another new restaurant just opened” section of the street. It’s a tiny spot, with an even tinier kitchen, and they serve solid Romanian food that’s definitely going to help you mix up your lunch routine. It’s an order at the counter setup, and if you haven’t had Romanian food before, they’ll help you figure out what to order. We like the vinete (eggplant) dip and the feta dill plachinta (an addictive stuffed flatbread), but we’re less into the potato dumplings (a little too dense) and the beef goulash (needed salt). Overall, Parnsip is a place worth checking out if you’re in the area and open to a lunch of dips and things." - Jess Basser Sanders
"Goldburger opened its first brick-and-mortar in Highland Park back in 2020 and has since exploded in popularity. These are the most substantial burgers in LA's oversaturated smash scene. From their namesake "Goldburger," topped with american cheese, grilled onions, and garlic-mustard aioli, to the "LA Special," loaded with thick cuts of pastrami, these smashburgers will keep you full past dinner or possibly even into breakfast the next day. Get the kind-of-spicy curly fries, too." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce, cathy park
"Not enough can be said about a burger that is always good. On any given day, at either of its locations, the burger at Goldburger is the same great smash burger. It is consistently served hot and fresh off the grill and will always satisfy a craving. Can’t make it to Highland Park? Try the Los Feliz or Chinatown location instead." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"Started as a pop-up in Silver Lake in 2019, Goldburger moved to Highland Park during the pandemic and has since exploded in popularity (a second location in Los Feliz arrived in fall 2021). These are the most substantial burgers in LA’s oversaturated smash scene. From the eponymous Goldburger, which comes topped with American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and their special garlic-mustard aioli, to the LA Special, loaded with thick cuts of pastrami, these are smashburgers that’ll keep you full well past dinner and possibly into breakfast the next day. Also, their curly fries are not to be missed." - Brant Cox
"Creative burgers made perfectly to satisfy your burger wishes. Personal favorite is the Ahi Tuna with guacamole and ginger carrot pickle. If you like spicy, Dan's Inferno Turkey will take you to center of the sun. Be sure to try their onion rings too, light and fluffy with gourmet dipping options." - Friend of a Friend
