The new space seats about 25 guests and offers a mix of indoor, outdoor and counter seating that reflects a lived-in Los Angeles vibe with operating hours of Sun–Thurs: 11:30am – 10:00pm + Fri–Sat: 11:30am – 11:00pm. The menu centers on the Oklahoma Smashburger, a nod to co-founder Don “Nuge” Nguyen’s home state, and upgrades the classic smash style with 100 % Snake River Farms American wagyu patties and slightly-sweet King’s Hawaiian buns. Alongside the Oklahoma, Classic and plant-based Impossible Smash Burgers, diners can order Fancy Fries, a Fancy Grilled Cheese and a rotating selection of house-made sauces. The interior is a tribute to skate culture, with photographs by Atiba Jefferson, Ed Templeton and Estevan Oriol lining the walls, vintage tiles in kelly, forest green, deep blue, light beige and white, and a limited-edition clothing collaboration with Brixton that extends the brand’s streetwear aesthetic. ## THE MENU · Menu highlights and ingredient philosophy Burger She Wrote’s focus on thoughtful sourcing is evident in every bite. The beef patties are sourced from Snake River Farms, a producer of American wagyu known for its marbling and flavor. The buns, supplied by King’s Hawaiian, add a subtle sweetness that balances the richness of the wagyu. Beyond the flagship Oklahoma Smashburger, the menu offers a Classic Smashburger, an Impossible plant-based option for flexitarian diners, and a Fancy Grilled Cheese that layers grilled onions, pickles and a tangy BSW sauce between toasted bread. The fries are seasoned simply with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, letting the potato’s natural flavor shine. Sauce lovers will find a small but curated lineup: the signature BSW sauce, Ranch, Spicy Mayo and BBQ. Each is house-made and designed to complement the smashburger’s juicy profile without overwhelming it. The menu is all-day, with normal operating hours for the eatery being that of Sun–Thurs: 11:30am – 10:00pm + Fri–Sat: 11:30am – 11:00pm. ## At a Glance - **WHAT:** Burger She Wrote - **WHERE:** 11686 San Vicente Blvd, Brentwood, Los Angeles CA 90049 - **OPENING EVENT:** Public opening 2-10 p.m., Oct 3 - **START WITH:** Oklahoma Smashburger - **CAPACITY:** About 25 seats - **SEATING:** Indoor, outdoor and counter ## CURATING THE VIBES · Design, partners and community context The Brentwood location expands the brand’s footprint along San Vicente Boulevard, joining a recent wave of casual eateries in the corridor. The space was designed by co-founder Mikayel Israyelyan, who continues Steven Arroyo’s practice of sourcing vintage elements, resulting in a timeless, lived-in aesthetic that feels both fresh and familiar. Walls are adorned with iconic skate-culture photography from Atiba Jefferson, Ed Templeton and Estevan Oriol, reinforcing the brand’s roots in the skate scene. The tile pattern inspired a limited-edition clothing line with Brixton, extending the restaurant’s streetwear-driven merch into the local fashion market.

The opening follows the brand’s original Fairfax District location and a May opening in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Boulevard. ## Curator's Note Burger She Wrote’s Brentwood debut brings premium wagyu smashburgers to a neighborhood that has seen a surge of casual dining concepts, but few with the skate-culture pedigree and vintage design sensibility of this brand. The limited seating and curated interior promise an intimate experience that could become a new hangout for locals who value both flavor and community vibe. --- Curated by VIBES News Desk · Published 2026-09-22 Source: https://www.curationsla.com/vibes/2026-09-22-burger-she-wrote-opens-its-largest-brentwood-spot Cite as: CurationsLA, "Burger She Wrote opens its largest Brentwood spot, serving wagyu smashburgers on King’s Hawaiian buns", https://www.curationsla.com/vibes/2026-09-22-burger-she-wrote-opens-its-largest-brentwood-spot (published 2026-09-22).
