Bob’s Big Boy
This is where the historic L.A.-based burger joint first began, and it’s the oldest remaining Bob’s in the city. Since 1936, the fast-food landmark has been serving up classic burgers and fries. There's no bells and whistles on these babies, though — just plain and simple delicious burgers. The Burbank spot feels like a blast from the past — like you’d expect to hear the Beach Boys on the jukebox. It even has car service stops on the weekend to complete the '50s vibe. Oh, and it's open 24 hours to satisfy your late-night carb cravings, too.
Bob's Big Boy, 4211 West Riverside Drive (at North Rose Street); 818-843-9334.
