Vaka Burger

Very tasty burger. I had the OG my husband had the spicy burger. Bread was soft, toasted to perfection. Onion rings were really tasty and not too salty. My fries were also really good. Everything was freshly made. Not great parking, you'll find something tho and believe me it's worth it.

I'm glad to have a new burger spot in the area that isn't just plain burgers. The menu has several different flavors of burgers. I've had the Vaka Burger, smash, and the secret brisket burger. All the burgers are fantastic, the fries are great, and the onion rings are really good as well. I will give them a 5 star when they put some entertainment in the restaurant to make it a little more comfortable to hang out and eat. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very clean.

Got the Truff with some fries. Good burger, very flavorful. Wish it was a little larger. Would still recommend.

Great spot! I’m stoked to have a dank burger spot close to my house! I really appreciate that they offer more than just your typical LA smash burger, but hey theirs is really good too! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood for a quick lunch or dinner. Wow now that’s some gourmet af fast food. I will be back soon! 😈🍔 🍟

This is dope little spot. The name speaks for itself on how cool the vibe is. The Eastside Burger and OG burger where delicious. Those Truffle fries and Onion rings where just perfect in taste. I recommend this spot to any locals or people nearby or even if your passing by. You won't be disappointed. There Vaka sauce is FIRE and delicious too ...

Came for the return of the Brisket sandwich. Soo glad I did. The best brisket sandwich I've ever eaten!

Stopped by on a whim last night and I’m glad I did. Place is very clean with friendly staff. I got the OG burger and vampiro fries for carry out. Both were great! I look forward to trying the rest of their menu.

Very expensive burgers. Owner/management is rude and has a huge ego. Employees don’t seem to get their breaks, many OSHA and labor law violations. I don’t expect this place to last long here.

Awesome burger place. They have a meal where you can select any burger and it comes with fries. Its cheaper than buying the burger by itself! Super kind staff. I got the brie burger and it was delicious! Totally coming back!

PROs - ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME - Truffle fries are the best I've ever had - Onion rings are perfectly seasoned and crunchy - To-go packaging is great - Ordered via phone. They told me food would be ready in 15 minutes. Food was ready on the dot - Brioche bun is soft and fresh. Didn't fall apart - Fried egg on the Bae burger was cooked perfectly, with a runny yolk - Gender neutral bathrooms CONs - Street parking (but what's new, you're in LA) - A little pricey, but isn't everything nowadays?

Great burgers and fries! I got the Bae without the egg and my boyfriend got the VaKa. Their sauces and bacon jam are made in house.. even the ketchup! My boyfriend really liked their hand-cut kennebec fries and he's a fry fanatic. We thought the prices were reasonably priced given the quality and serving sizes. I'm glad we're within walking distance and will be coming back again :)

Great Burgers, quick pick up service, reasonably priced, modern and clean - casual spot that's a hidden gem. Ordered: (WOA - would order again) Vaka Burger (bacon cheeseburger) - WOA TRuFF Burger (Truffle Burger) - WOA Truffle Fries - WOA Regular Fries Picked up for To Go and keeping in mind this review is based off of reheating everything, it was delicious. Looking forward to going back and eating in person with everything fresh off the grill. Would order both burgers again, TRuFF burger especially. The truffle fries were great, would do any of the dressed fries over plain just because they are thin cut and just lightly salted so the seasoning really makes them personally. Have tried a few Burger joints in the area and this one is definitely the best by far. The burger itself was perfectly salted and packed with flavor, brioche buns lightly toasted (really makes the burger, and my favorite - reasonable price. The pictures aren't the best but just so you get an idea of what you're working with. The burgers appear on the small side but the patty has a nice thickness to it so personally it was just the right amount of food. Other: Staff were friendly. Order at the counter and good amount of seating available. There's street parking right in front, it's easy to miss with no sign on the outside but has big bright letters on the inside, next to the small parking lot with the donut shop and adjacent to the 711.

This place is closed. My husband and I drove there around lunch time on a Saturday but the sign said "Closed" even though on Yelp it mentioned it was only open on Saturdays.

This place is good if you're in the area. Somehow the internet knows how to do it's thing because the same day I got ads on Vaka Burger, so did my friend. He suggested we go check it out ASAP. We live in the neighborhood. I enjoyed my meal. The one I ordered reminded me of a classic burger, reminiscent of Habit. They named it accordingly, it's called the OG . Fries come separate. I liked how the guy at the register took the time to explain the menu and the specials. Food came out fairly fast, but they weren't super busy. We arrived at 6:45 and didn't realize on Wed-Thurs, they close at 7:30pm. My friend said, " This tastes like a 'we just opened' burger." Maybe that helps you to set expectations. For me though, the patty was seasoned well and not overcooked--. I liked their homemade Russian dressing. The melty cheddar cheese gave a nice bite. At first I complained the fries weren't crunchy enough, but I ate them all and the portion was quite big. I would try Vaka Burger again. I do feel like it is a little pricey, but what isn't these days. Keep in mind, the size of the OG is about the same as a Habit burger, but with a price tag of $11. Add fries, tip, and tax, you're at $20.

Came back for the Bae Burger and truffle fries as part of their New Years special. Much better value at this price point and the food was delectable.

Heard great reviews and had to check it out. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and introduced to the menu which was a plus. I ordered the Truff Burger and Truff fries and both were delicious and flavorful. The in house garlic aioli and ketchup we're definitely the cherry on top because I need my burger dipped with ever bite. The only reason I gave 4 stars was the location. The street parking was almost impossible but I'm glad we made it in. A must try if your in LA!

5-star burgers. The truffle burger and the truffle fries are my favourite things to order. I'm giving Vaka three stars because I went in expecting to be charged for the value meal which is 12.99 and 2.99 for upgraded fries, but instead I was charged separately for the truffle burger 14 and 6.99 and was told that despite the value meal being on the digital menu that they were changing the menu and were no longer honouring that price per the ownership. The meal came out to 26 dollars with tip. Too expensive and I was surprised by the high bill. Sorry, but I get that this is a mom and pop place and I support small businesses; but not honouring the posted menu pricing is a very egregious business practice. I live close by and had been coming here every now and then to support, but sadly with this price increase I probably won't be going as frequently if at all any more. I would've given this place 5-stars had they been consistent, but this is kind of a dealbreaker for me (being surprised by a bill and their not honouring posted menu prices). Some additional feedback is that the employees are stingy with the white sauce and ketchup, which are both delicious. This bothered me before the price increase. Employees typically give only one tiny white sauce (some type of garlic aioli) and one tiny ketchup (the ketchup I believe is home-made) with a whole order of fries, which is not enough. They should be giving larger portions of the white sauce and the ketchup. **Note: It looks like this was rectified as I was given larger cups this last time.** Anyway, good food and the employees are always nice; but questionable amateur-like business practices that aren't customer-friendly have cost this business my continued business and a 5-star Yelp review.

Wow, Vaka Burger for the win! Glad this gourmet burger inspired establishment opened in my neck of the woods. Founded by a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef. Mouth watering burgers and decadent fries to eat and add poundage to my post-partum waistline. Tried: Vaka Burger: Similar to an upgraded Carl's Jr. Western Bacon cheeseburger with bacon jam on buttered brioche buns. Truffle Burger: Flavorful but not overtly doused with truffle oil. Patties are juicy and moist, buns are buttery and lightly crisped! Get the fries to complement the burger too. Looking forward to trying their other creations in the future. Service: Friendly Price point: $11-$22 Street parking

First time at this burger joint. One of the best burgers I've had. Their truffle burger and fries are a must. We also go the Vaka chili cheese fries and I couldn't stop eating. Damn so good. Chef Aaron also has a special made hot sauce for all the spicy lovers. Anyways go try xoxo

Would always pass by since I live in the area And was always curious about this place ! Today I decided to make a stop and order some food, I'm very picky when I eat burgers, a burger patty can not be dry or have not taste. This place wasssss soooo fireee! I had the bae burger and my husband had the og. Great flavors, juicy meat ! Fries were so good ! I'm a sucker for egg on my burger. Just tooo perfect

Truffle burger with truffle fries was bombbb. The place was empty when I showed up, need to get some more people in there to try these good ass burgers!

Mouth Orgasm. These burgers were so good. I got the Truffle and my husband got the Brie. Both were garlicky and delicious. Literally the perfect burgers!!!! Listen to my dude at the register because there is more than what's just on the immediate menu. It's a little spot and parking is a small challenge. The seating are is nice and clean and modern. I can't wait to come back!!

Best burgers in town, everything there is amazing, anytime I'm working around the area that's were I eat. Truffle burger and vampiro fries are my favorite.

Good tasty burger!! If you're looking for burger you must try this place. The fries were really good and not too oily.

This place is solid, good simple burgers and fries. This time around I also tried the Mac n cheese which was good if you're craving something cheesy.

Place was good. We were a group of 6 and everyone loved their food. We got the OG BURGER, very good! East Side burger, likely the favorite & Brie burger. Everyone had nothing but great reviews. No one ordered truffle fries but the regular ones were fantastic!

Tried the truff burger and the flavors were well-balanced. Nice interior, friendly staff, parking outside, clean bathroom, and just the right amount of food. Will come again to try the other burgers.

Do not come here! This business still owes large amounts of money to old employees after months of delayed paychecks and suddenly firing employees a bit over a month ago. Give the people the money they worked for!!

Great, I mean great and very delicious burgers!!! For me this should be number one in all the burgers in LA 2022!!! Tender and juicy burgers and the flavor is top notch!!! I live half a block away from this place and I've been here a few times now... the price is reasonable for the quality of the food and the great customer service. The ambiance and eclectic decor is so cool and vibing... I suggest try it for your self and experience the divine deliciousness... and I'm not exaggerating anything because I love burgers and I've tried a lot around LA county area... not just LA city proper but around the county of LA... so if ever your around my area in Beverly Blvd and Vendome you should try this burger... this is a family owned business that they brought the food level high up in flavor and class!!! Enjoy!!!

The Brie burger is soooo good! And the truffle fries. My go-to's for sure. Love the vibe and the workers are always so friendly!

Close to my apartment, the food was bussing! Taste were exploding in my mouth very freakin good!

This place is great. The food is outstanding. We had the Vaka, truff and smash burger with truffle fry's. The staff is so friendly and the owner "Aaron" is very informative and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

I loved the food. The space it self is simple and generic. Burgers were both great- we had the double smash burger and truffle burger. Fries are all hand cut and not over salted. Onion rings are the best I've ever had- The batter is delicious. Everything is hand crafted and it's extremely affordable. Beef is grass fed.

This small, local burger joint is a gem! Tried it for the first time today and will definitely be back. I had a burger and truffle fries. The burger was delicious and the fries were great as well. They have a bunch of different burger options available - had trouble deciding at first since they all looked so good! The owners are also extremely friendly and go out of their way to accommodate their customers. Plus, their prices are also extremely reasonable for the high quality of food. Looking forward to my next visit back!

Everything is good , but the prices are expensive than the similar burgers . First time i ordered 3 combos they were so tasty .

We went to Vaca burger today, overall very good experience, I had their vaca burger with fries, the burger was really good and fries were great, very nice and clean place, we will definitely go back

The food was great! Everything was on point. Highly recommend anything on the menu. Bae Burger was perfect and the onion rings.

Got the OG burger and it was perfect. Juicy patty, sweet ketchup, perfectly melted cheese. Also got the Vampiro fries. Spicy and delicious. Goat cheese, spicy beef, and pickled onions. Will need to come back in the future.

This place GOES THE F IN! I have been looking for a local burger spot thats not tommys (sorry tommy) forever and finally tried Vaka last week. I have had them 3 times in the last week and a half, 2x Vaka Burger w Garlic Fries (that onion ring be THICC and fries go hard AF) and today tried the Bae Burger and Vampiro Fries (is that a Lucha Underground reference). Low-key the Vampiro Fries might be the best thing on the menu! a lil beef, a lil cheese, a lil spice over fries...wow! Honestly everything I have had so far has SLAPPED (and that is with delivery time so imagine eating AT the spot). Support this spot and start w an apetite and order Vaka Burger w Vampiro fries. Thank me later. Thank them first.

One of the best burgers I've ever had in my life! The food quality was incredible no joke haven't felt this way after eating a burger in a long time. Not your average burger spot more complex ingredients but the flavors are phenomenal cool staff as well whenever I'm in the mood for a burger this will be my new go to it was that good

Very tasty burgers! Worth the drive. I wish they had better seating ( my only complaint).

Says they close at 7:30pm. I'm here at 7:00pm and they're not open. Hopefully they'll have consistent open times. Drove an hour to get here.

The food was amazing, the service was a 10/10 and the vibe was super cool. They music was diverse and not to loud so we can still have a conversation.

Drove an hour to this location only to find out it's closed down. Never posted anything about it on social media. What's with this dude?? Opens up locations and closes them down right after. Lost yourself a longtime customer

Wow! I am so happy this place opened up in the neighborhood. I love burgers from Stout and Umami but man just one visit to Vaka made this my favorite burger in town. The flavors, attention to detail, the fries were perfectly crispy and you could tell they were cooked in fresh oil. The presentation of the burger too. I had the Truffle burger and this thing was so juicy and perfect, I can't wait to come back and try all the others!

Best burgers in town. No question about it. The taste and quality of the burgers, fries, and onion rings are second to none. I've tried many items off the menu and none have disappointed. The location itself is very clean and organized with a modern design. Great place to sit down and devour your meal. I also enjoy the music played (not too loud and good selection). The staff is welcoming and always greets you with a smile. They are helpful when asking questions about the menu. You can definitely tell the entire establishment takes pride in their food and service. Do yourself a favor and go taste the best burgers in town!

Ordered a TRUFF burger and fries. One of the most flavorful burgers I've eaten in a long time!!! I will be trying everything on the menu!!!! Love that they are in my neighborhood!!!! I wish I could've posted a picture of Burger. So gooood!!!!

Was quick with their turnaround after ordering. Offered fries for a review Try it if you're in the area

This was a new spot next to my tattoo shop! It was such a nice place. The food was amazing with so much flavors! I got the truffle burger!

Smash burger my favorite !!! Truffle fries the way to go !!! Service is amazing, everyone is so polite and welcoming Ambiance is great !! No complaints!!

Service is amazing! If you're a truffle person, their truff burger is a must-try! It's so delicious + the burger patty is cooked perfectly. Definitely a good match with their truffle fries! I can't wait to try their other burgers.

Stopped by last night and grabbed the BAE burger and the Brie burger. Both were perfect and delicious in their own way. Best burger I've ever had. Been coming here since the Ramirez liquor store days.

Fast Service Great Food Awesome Staff Definitely Will Be Going Back !!! Food Was Very Satisfying !!

The burgers are one of a kind. The service was excellent. One of the best burgers I've had in a while. We will definitely be back. The location is nice, really enjoyable dinning experience.

My friend and I tried this place in the hopes that we had found somewhere good to eat where we work. The first time we went we both had the OG since it's what their known for. Sadly I have to say it wasn't great. The texture of the meat seemed a little off, their Russian dressing didn't seem to fit well with the rest of the flavors and just didn't go together overall. The service was fine and if I'm being honest we weren't going to go back again. We decided to give it another chance thinking maybe we ordered the wrong thing for us, but no, the second was just as bad as the first. The onion rings were good but slightly salty, our fries were just ok and in the end they made us nauseous. I'm not sure how this place has a five star rating but we came back with open minds. After both of these experiences I can honestly say we both won't be coming back. It really wasn't good at all, sorry.

Don't park out front too long or you will lose your catalytic converter but home of an excellent burger. We had the east side burger with fries. This had a kim chi Bleu cheese slaw to it that was good. Per the counter guy the vaka burger with bbq sauce is really sweet. The east side was perfectly balanced. Fries crunchy. They were a little stingy on the ketchup.

Dude, these burgers are disturbingly good. As are the fries. Mayyyyyyyyy just be the best burger I've found in L.A. And now they have meatless options! Damn you, Vaka Burger! You're ruining our New Year's diets!

Vaka burger is a stellar addition to the neighborhood. Every burger I've tried has been delicious and perfectly prepared. Everyone working is so kind and you can tell they take care in the food they create.
