Top Bar Burger / Lake Balboa, CA


Top Bar Burger is easily one of the best burger places I've been to in the San Fernando Valley.  That's saying a lot, especially when you think that the SFV is home to so many great burger joints like The Stand and The Counter.  My fiancĂ©e and I, along with our roommates ventured out in the heavy rainfall to try this place suggested to us by a couple close friends.  Driving up you would not expect this place to offer the quality of food and service that it does, so the 4 of us were tremendously surprised when we dove into our meals.  Pictured above is the Utah Burger which, as you can tell, offers a generous helping of steaming hot pastrami on top of an already juicy all beef patty!  I personally devoured the Texas Burger which is a Rib Eye steak "patty", baked beans, an over sized onion ring, BBQ sauce and Colby-jack cheese!  It was delish!  It was pretty much a unanimous decision that we would be returning!

If beef and/or red meat isn't for you they also have a wide variety of chicken burgers, salads and hot dogs!  Along with a stacked breakfast menu and prices that work for any wallet size, I'd definitely say this place must be on any one's list of places to dine!  In a time where everyone is looking for that right edge to appeal to the masses, sometimes simple fresh ingredients give even the most refined pallet an awakening!
