Hawkins House of Burgers

When chowing down at Watt’s prized Hawkins House of Burgers, you’ll need to harness that “go big or go home” mentality. Scores of hungry Angelenos line up at this stand turned casual restaurant for American classics at a bargain price. Burgers packed with high quality Angus beef, fresh ingredients and tons of flavor can be smelled down the block. Sure, this no-frills burger joint is vastly informal, but that just spotlights the Fat Chili Cheese Burger, Double Bacon Egg Cheese Burger, and other tasty fares that much more. If you want to give a whack at the Whipper (that’s two patties with pastrami and sausage links for $18), go for it—but you’ll need an impressive pack of napkins (and maybe some forks) at the ready.
