The Win-Dow Silver Lake

the win-dow supremacy! having tried goldburger's and for the win on my quest to find my go-to smashed burger in la, I can safely say this is my fav smashed burger so far. i like the casual outside seating with red stools reminiscent of street vendors in asia. the service was succinct and quick, the cheeseburgers came out hot and ready and the ketchup packets were refilled as we got our order. parking is metered + street, not sure if there's a bathroom. curious about the milkshakes despite having mild lactose intolerance and i hope to return soon :)

Some influencer said this was the best burger place and ranked it higher than in-n-out so we were just curious. We got the double-double and fried chicken sandwich and fries. The price was pretty cheap and decent, and when we got to try it, it was better than we expected! However, we're biased, so we can't rank it higher than in-n-out . Maybe if they included lettuce and tomatoes, it would complement the burgers greasiness! Also their fries were good but not amazing. There's no real seating, they did have a kind of a ghetto set up, so just come with the expectation that you'd sit on crates under a canopy. Probably not ideal for larger groupsOverall, if we were in the area and wanted to grab a quick bite, this is a decent place!

I'm currently on the search to find the best smashburger in LA/OC, so of course I had to try win-dow. The price is definitely affordable, especially compared to other smashburger places, but I felt the taste and quality was somewhat lackluster. The best part of the experience was sitting outside on red stools eating my freshly smashed burger, which made it feel like a genuine "street food" experience. ------Smashburger ranking:Taste: 4.5/10Price: 7.5/10Vibe: 5/10

Win-dow is literally a window (booth) serving up your classic smashburger. The food itself is a-ok but I rated it a 4 for the price point and their simple yet quality ingredients. It's also not too messy compared to other burger spots. They also offer a fried chicken sandwich, kale salad and grain bowl. Nothing too fancy but good alternatives if a burger isn't your thing!

Got the cheeseburger and it was 10/10 especially for the price!! It's only $4.25 and hits the spot. I've tried the fresh lemonade before as well and it's super yummy. It's a hole in the wall so you order from outside. They have stools in the front to sit and eat at and the service was quick! Only downside is that it's hard to find parking.

I'm glad I finally stopped by to try The Win-DowThe burger is solid and such a great value for the price. Soft pillowy bread, juicy patty, cheesy, and crisp pickles.The vanilla milkshake is outstanding. It's flavorful, creamy, thick, and actually rather light.The fries however are the only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review. These fries are horrible. Soggy, cold, bland. In N Out fries are better

Smash burgers are usually small and well overpriced. I expected this place to be no different, but the prices were super reasonable considering where this spot is located. The flavor of the burger was incredible, the pickles were perfection (and I'm not a huge fan of pickles in burgers) and the house sauce took it to the next level. The burger is small so you may want to consider getting a double. The fries were aight. They did the job. They were crisp and golden brown. The lemonade was pretty good and the shake was decent, but I only got vanilla.I just wish they would add better seating. They had these plastic stools with no tables so you're sort of hunched over the stool eating. I noticed some people take their food to the benches of eateries down the way or to the benches outside the closed bar across the street.Also it's just street parking so good luck!

I live in studio city and the drive here was not easy on a Saturday, it took 30 minutes of traffic @5pm. This really is a to-go spot, they have a bunch of plastic chairs and no tables. Not so great in the winter because it was freezing but we knew the food would not be great if we waited to eat it at home. I will say that the food was delicious!! Some of my favorite burgers in La, the pickles on here are perfect. The chicken sandwiches are also delicious and borderline better than the burgers. Fries are average but still good. Their sauce is wonderful and I know it's difficult to nail the sauce. I do want to try the kale salad next time. As much as I loved the burgers, the traffic and time to get there was not something I would do regularly for this. I hope they open a location in the valley, I would definitely visit that one often.

The burgers and fries? Delicious. Double cheeseburger with everything on it was served piping hot and delicious. Wouldn't change a thing.Fries were perfect. Crispy, salty as can be, and perfect temp. Red stripe was available next door so we made sure to snag one (open container not encouraged of course)The seating area was super basic and didn't really have any frills, just some stools and a sun cover. Plenty for shoveling down some burger and fries. Service was simple, it's a burger window, don't expect much and you can't be disappointed.Can't wait to grab a burger here again soon!

The burgers are good but the kale salad is what I would go back for. Ordered a single and a double burger with two orders of fries and a couple of kale salads on UberEats for pickup. That's the way to go. Parking was a problem because there was a farmers market going on. It was a Tuesday. There is also a farmers market on Saturdays according to a sign we saw. Didn't have to wait long for my order. All app orders are picked up from a window next door to an ice cream shop. There's another window if you're placing an order at that moment. The burgers were good. Fresh and a solid tasting burger. Fries weren't anything special. They're like McDonald's fries but they were not particularly fresh or hot and they were dry. I would pass on them if I came back. The kale salad was delicious! Great dressing on it and the croutons and golden raisins were tasty in it. Next time I will try their dipped soft serve ice cream cones. They look yummy but a lot with the burgers. It's a walk up window. Ambiance is whatever is going on on the sidewalk at any given time.
