Cassell's Hamburgers

"A 2/3-pound cheeseburger dressed with homemade mayo, tomato, and pickles"
Michael Stern






"Cassell's is proud of its double grill, where the hand-formed patties get cooked from both sides at once."
Michael Stern



"While not eye-poppingly different, the 1000 Islands dressing and the mayo are fresh indeed, made in Cassell's kitchen. Ketchup and mustard are standard-issue."
Michael Stern



"The menu refers to the potatoes as steak fries. They're crisp and a good vehicle for hoisting ketchup or dressing from plate to mouth, but they pretty much lack intrinsic flavor."
Michael Stern



"A lot of people (including ourselves) have sung the praises of Cassell's hamburgers over the years."
Michael Stern



"L.A. used to be known as a source of great hamburgers. Even though local cuisine has taken an ultra trendy path (molecular gastronomy, anyone?), it remains a city with plenty of good burger choices."
