Downtown Burger Assery: D-Town Burger Bar
This is just crap. It’s crap cuz there are equally priced burgers in Compton that tastes 200% better. It’s crap because they turned such a meaningful space into such a soulless restaurant. It’s crap cuz they only give 3 sticks of stankin’ sweet potato fries in the “fries mixed with sweet potatoes”. No one should sell such a sweet potato cock-teasery, only to fill the plate with limp regular fries:
To start, D-Town Burgery has asshattery of a name. It’s contrived, gentrified, and overall more tarded than “Umami Burger”. Then they proceed to offend with a 50’s inspired menu rocking 2010 hipster prices; nearly $8 for a institutionized double burger combo featuring worthless HFCS doused fountain drinks. HFCS is very 1982, not 1952:
Downtown Fanbois are alread hyping this as the next best thing after Pete’s burger. Yet no one mentions Pete’s Hellman burg smells like downers cow and borderlines cardboard bland? From the pre-formed factory processed pre-formed patty (per proud hostess: “we get them delivered”), to the bleached white bun, to the insipid American cheese, there is no redeeming value in D-Town, cept the faux art pieces adorning the walls, and a jukebox that you can’t play
And yes, it’s under $10, but why not stuff your face at 7-11 down the street with equal abandonment?
Grand opening date: March 6th, first visit date: March 5th, date of actual burger bite, March 7th.

In downtown, we beggars can’t be choosers. When a new place opens, we have to give a chance.
I don’t think they promised anything better than a fast food experience, and I think they delivered. It wasn’t awful, it just WAS. Mediocre but cheap.
Still, we need it here since we only have 2 McDonald’s left, no Burger Kings, no Jack in the Boxes, no Fatburgers and no In-N-Out.
Those fries look pretty pathetic but as far as HFCS goes, c’mon, they’ve got an ad campaign – it’s just like sugar teehee. As for umami burger, i dig the name. It makes me want to say “one umami burger please, hold the mayo.”
And there are a gangload of BKs downtown. too many in fact.
WHAT a douche response to a fledgling business. Now I don’t want to confuse anyone reading this, but I am an east coaster and not at ALL a fan of LA (here for work), but I had to work in restaurants throughout college and for someone to just down the place automatically is pure douchebaggery. I guess the person writing has only had burgers made with kobe beef and marinated in angel tears! The place is NEW. It is open later than the rest of the businesses here. They are trying and expanding slowly. For those of us who are repulsed by Mexican food, it is a fair alternative (and right across the street from my place.) Much like the reviewer, I could wax poetic about the benefits of having an eatery in downtown, but I will not. I guess I should have been there during the reviewer’s formative years when he was learning to walk, and screamed at him ‘you SUCK at walking’.
