Very cool burger and bar spot just across from the redline station for Wilshire and Vermont.

Unlike most FatBurger locations of this popular chain there's actually an abundance of seating both inside and out. A wide variety of menu options including more than once vegan option (Impossible and Boca Burgers, all fries, etc).

The staff is pretty chill as well as the bartenders on the bar side... even though we mostly came to grub. The food was perfect temp though a little sparse in condiments as well as toppings... very portion controlled compared to any other times I've been to or order out from a fatburger. I honestly always expect a messy meal with too many toppings to eat or dripping out of the burger lol (if you've ever had fat burger you know what I'm talking about) but it was still great eats with amazing sweet potato and steak fries... I always forget to ask for banana pepper and/or jalapenos (at no extra charge) as most people don't order them... they aren't included when you ask for everything on the burger.

This FB also has an all-in-one coke-cola Free-style machine machine (like at AMC) which gives you a crazy amount of options though it does come out a bit fast and fizzy I'm all about it. Hope to come back soon for more eats and cocktails... hope they'll eventually carry or offer buffalo cauliflower wings in the future.

Overall a good place for a burger for sure... definitely a sit down type vibe inside or out... the bar half is very sports friendly and has a great selection even a few good craft brews... plenty of popular local, imported and domestic beers as well... if case you're wondering. Doesn't seem to get super busy here until late night... or during the day... pretty mellow between 6 and 9pm most days/nights
