For The Win

LOCATION: Soooo glad they opened this branch in West LA!! Saves me the drive to the Hollywood area street parking or parking lot available nearby. Lots of open seating. FOOD: the fries are simple but sooooo good. My favorite fries of all time. the strawberry milkshake is the BEST. highly recommend if you love strawberry - takes like strawberry Hagen daaz in a cup lol. Burgers are great, can't go wrong! Service is fast casual.

In this business, we have to be hospitable. No warm welcome or hello when I came i. I could have ordered for touch screen. But I didn't, I spoke to the employee, let him know what I wanted vs asking me how could he help me. If this is your business plan. I get it, it's a burger joint. Find some rock stars employee to be the face of your business!! Management you can do better. The burger was good!

My experience at For The Win was beyond disappointing. My wife wanted to add tomatoes to a grilled cheese, a simple and reasonable request, but the employee flat-out refused. When I asked if they could make an exception and I offered to pay for a full burger, she responded with, "We don't do that here bro." That level of unprofessionalism caught me off guard. We were paying customers, not buddies hanging out in someone's backyard.The food itself was just okay. The burgers were bland with no real flavor, and the grilled cheese was forgettable. I get that smash burgers are popular right now, but these did not live up to the hype at all.What really pushed this experience over the edge was when another employee came to our table to confront a guest we were with. We were sitting with two young kids, just trying to enjoy our meal, and suddenly we had an employee towering over us with a hostile attitude. It felt aggressive and completely inappropriate, especially in front of children.I had heard good things about this place, but I honestly do not see the appeal. Between the lackluster food and the unprofessional, almost confrontational staff, I will not be back. There are plenty of better burger spots around with staff who know how to treat customers with basic respect.

Thought I'd try this place given the amount of locations they have and this being a newer location - it was really pricey for the money you pay..I ordered a double smash burger which was good but $12.50, then added luke warm McDonald's styled fries for $4.95, and finally finished off with a vanilla milkshake for $7.25 ..totaling the bill to $27.05.The burger was served on a round paper plate making it hard to pickup as the burger was almost falling apart; and drank with thin paper straws that isn't suitable for drinking shakes as it'd fall apart.Given the overall experience, I'd wish I took my $27.05 elsewhere like HiHo burger where it's similarly priced (if not cheaper) and offers an overall better and elevated experience for a fast casual restaurant.Service was good and staff were kind though!

I love FTW burgers! They're well seasoned and have great flavor which I appreciate! They sweet potato fries are also nice crispy and fresh. They're also a little burnt and I love the crunch it adds.In this instance I ordered UberEats but I've been to one of their locations and the ambiance is very chill and casual. The service was also good too. I didn't have any problems there.I will definitely be back!

I think i really tried to like this place based on the raving reviews. I will say it taste good but dang that price tag is INSANE. I got a double smash with bacon and jalepeno and sweet potato fries with a diet coke and that came out to $30. It tasted great but not $30 great. I would say a fair price would be $18 or something. Since it is a smash burger the patties are extremely thin anyways. There's a ton of other resturants in the area where $30 will get you 2x the meal. I would still say you should give this place a shot if you haven't tried a smash burger though! Taste: 4/5 clogged arteriesService: 4/5 they doing their bestAmbience: 5/5 big spacious Affordability: 2/5 but we are in Beverly hills

Was super excited to try the smashburger here bc I kept seeing this place on Instagram! I was in the area so decided to stop by on a Tuesday during lunch, there was no wait at all and you can order through the self service kiosk. (Screens are really hard to see bc of the sun)The burger $9 (quite pricey) but, it was really good!! It's one of the best smashburgers I've had in a while!They even have sweet potato fries, which I ordered!I wanted to try the strawberry milkshake but it wasn't available when I went.You also get free fries for writing a yelp review :)

Phenomenal smash burger. Very well seasoned. Crispy edges and potato buns. Great cheese. Really good fries. Nice and crispy, too. Huge, loft-like space. Minimal staff. Doesn't matter. Great food.

This was my second time trying For the Win and I liked it better than the first time. I thought it tasted mediocre the first time at another location but this location made my burger to perfection. I wanted some greens with the burger so I ordered the brussel sprouts which paired well with the heaviness of the burger.

Solid solid burger. Not usually a fan of chocolate shakes but it was great. Staff was super nice and gave us a couple drinks on the house.
