I had one of the best burgers I ever had in my life—not just smash burgers but burgers period! It was so good my lady took a few bites and then ordered her own. The fries were delicious as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ABOUT US
Our Story
After tasting nearly every smash burger in LA, we (Noah Zaret and Dylan Walsh) set out to create burgers that feel familiar yet distinctive.
Sunset Smash began as a summer pop-up tent on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades in 2023. Community support quickly turned our passion project into a full-time operation, first with a borrowed truck, then with our own fully built food truck.
When fires destroyed both our homes and our truck—after we’d served around 1,000 free meals to first responders—we relocated to Brentwood, where we’re still smashing today and catering across the city.
Now approaching our third year, Sunset Smash stays true to its roots: quality ingredients, consistency, and serious flavor.
What Our Guests Are Saying
Real words from the Sunset Smash community.
LOVE Sunset Smash! The fries are addictive and the owner couldn’t be nicer. The new photos—including moments like feeding firefighters during the fires—are inspiring. I can’t recommend it enough!
Delicious smash burgers! I got The Classic and it had crispy edges, a juicy center, melty cheese, and the perfect bun. The seasoned fries were awesome too. Loved the happy hour deal!
One of the tastiest burgers I’ve ever had. Simple, clean, fresh. First burger I didn’t need to drown in sauce. They even have a kosher option. I’ve been here four times this week!
Hands down one of the BEST burgers I’ve ever had! Crispy caramelized edges, juicy center, perfect bun, perfect toppings. It was so good I didn’t want it to end!
Amazing burgers! Fresh, juicy, full of flavor. Probably one of the best smash burgers in LA. Friendly staff and great vibes on Sunset!
