Iconic 1940s roadstand Irv’s Burgers is celebrating with a FREE version of what put them on the map. Just be among the first 50 guests to say the secret code, “just for me,” to redeem a FREE Roadside Single. It’s made to order and topped with American cheese and Irv’s sauce. Doors open at 10 a.m.

Burgers Never Say Die (Silverlake) 

Always on my list, Burgers Never Say Die makes some of the best Smashburgers in Los Angeles. While technically made with a nice cheese patty on top, The Regular, with ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions, is just as good without the cheese, too. ($11.99). 


Farmer Boys (Various)

If you’re looking to score a deal, West Coast chain Farmer Boys will be offering their Big Cheese® Burger for just $3.99 when you use the Farmer Boys VIF App on May 28th, 2026.

Burger King (Various)

While this deal isn’t about the burgers, it’s something the whole family will love all month long. Did you know you can get a FREE Soft Serve Mini Cone for up to THREE KIDS with any purchase at your local participating California Burger King! This once-limited-time offer is so popular that it has never left. 

Also, historically, Royal Perks members can usually cash in on FREE Burgers for the week leading up to and including National Burger Day. Stay tuned for deals.

The Win-dow (Grove/Hollywood/Long Beach/Venice/Silverlake)

The Win-dow is another “smashingly good place” for Classic Smashburgers and fries, and they have locations in every corner of L.A County. Be sure to get the UNDER $5 Cheeseburger($7.50 for a Double) or a Beauty Burger if you don’t eat meat ($8.50).

For the Win (Hollywood/Glendale/DTLA/Whittier/Montebello/Etc.)

Quickly becoming one of my favorite burgers, Papilles Restaurant has permanently rebranded as the daytime concept called For the Win. There, you can get Burgers, Chicken Sandwiches, and French Fries instead of the very affordable French prix-fixe they used to offer nightly in Hollywood. During National Burger Month, I recommend the Cheeseburger made with a quarter-pound of smashed grass-fed beef, grilled onions, pickles, and cheese on a Martin’s potato bun ($9.90). They also have Hamburgers for just $8.80!

In-N-Out Burger (Various)

I’m not sure any proper California burger list would be complete without a nod to In-N-Out.
While the Cheeseburger might have been invented in 1920s Pasadena, it was possibly perfected in 1940s Baldwin Park. My personal favorite, “Animal Style,” was coined in 1969 for the rowdy animals that frequented the restaurant on late nights. Request your burger like this if you’re in the mood for an extra thousand island spread, mustard grilled patties, and more pickles. All under $5!
 
Here’s to our youth!
