Classic old-school LA burger spot. Price: 5/5. Parking: 3/5 since it’s mostly street parking. Worth the 40-minute drive if you’re specifically looking for nostalgic diner vibes. Burger n pie burger is definitely better and just as nostalgic but the value is hands down here. For 2 burgers, fries and pie at the Apple pan, I can only buy 1 burger and a pie at burger n pie 😭. I will be coming back to the Apple pan. The food isn’t mind-blowing, but it is solid comfort food - an old-fashioned burger and good pie. You come here more for the atmosphere and history than for some over-the-top foodie experience. Service was amazing - they knew what I wanted before I asked for it, happy face ketchup, cleaned up napkins as they were used. Honestly I’m going back just for the service and the vibe. There’s an outdoor patio if you prefer sitting outside, but the classic counter seating inside is definitely the move. Not necessarily a must-visit for out-of-towners, but if you live in LA, you should experience it at least once. Will definitely be back.
I will definitely be back. This place lived up to the hype and the food was fresh and delicious. Got the steak burger added cheese and the Pumpkin cream pie. The burger was well balanced and all the ingredients were fresh. The Pumpkin cream pie was not to sweet and covered in whip cream. The crowd was a good mix of locals and tourists. Make this place a priority.
The Apple Pan is a time machine. You step in and you're transported to a different time and a different place when quality meant something. They do everything the same way they have always done it. The menu is tiny but perfected. The pies sell out daily. There is only counter seating, first come first serve. The staff is great. I believe a lot of them have been working at the Apple Pan for a very long time, because by all accounts it's a quality company that treats employees well. I love that this burger joint exists. It makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew. And it's absolutely delicious.
The burger is like a slightly better version of in-n-out, thicker patty, not too greasy, bun holds up well. Wish it came with tomato. Love their slightly thicker fries. Their apple pie was standard. Their service is so friendly and efficient. The atmosphere has a nostalgic touch that makes it special.
Probably the best burger I've had in a long time. The relish was awesome in the steak burger though it didn't taste like steak, seemed like regular burger. However the hickory sauce in the hickory burger literally gives vibes of old west cowboy smoke. Simply outstanding. The parking is horrible, but still worth visiting if you want an awesome burger. 💯
