"There’s only one thing that can improve a pastrami double cheeseburger and duck-fat fries, it’s when they’re located a block away from scenic Hermosa Beach. Proudly Serving serves one of our favorite smashburgers in the city, but it also has a chill, white-washed dining room steps from the ocean where you can play pinball, drink craft beers, or just watch the locals coast by on beach cruisers." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park
"A former pop-up gone permanent, this smashburger operation has become a South Bay fixture, with breezy beach-adjacent locations in Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach. Burgers here are double-stacked by default, though they’ll probably let you do a single if you ask nicely. The not-too-thin patties have a nice seasoned crust that droops over the edge of the toasted potato bun, while the mayo-heavy special sauce and pickles add some tang. The best part, though, is the bird’s nest of griddled, crispy, almost-charred onions they smoosh into the patty. We also appreciate that their burgers are neatly wrapped in paper—presentation points—and arrive looking composed enough to meet your parents. Order a side of tots and a local craft beer on draft to complete the set." - brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"A former pop-up gone permanent, this smashburger operation bounced around the South Bay and Long Beach before landing in a breezy space with lots of seating a block from the ocean. Burgers are double-stacked by default (they’ll let you do a single if you ask nicely). The not-too-thin patties have a nicely seasoned crust that droops over the edge of the toasted potato bun, while the mayo-heavy special sauce and pickles add some tang. The best part, though, is the bird’s nest of griddled, crispy, almost-charred onions smushed into the patty. We also appreciate that their burgers come neatly wrapped and never get too messy. Order a side of tots and a local beer to complete the set." - sylvio martins
