Earlier this week I stopped by to check out the new Rounds Premium Burgers in WeHo. West Hollywood was really lacking a good burger joint so I was looking forward to sampling what they had to offer.

The inside area is cozy with several small round tables and barstools and a nice long counter overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard which is perfect for people watching. The owner let me know that he is planning to expand the seating area (which is good because it is a bit small) out to the patio which will double the capacity.

The set up is similar to The Counter, where you can build your own burger, but a lot simpler to order and much less expensive. You can easily get a good cheeseburger with the basics, fries and a drink for about $10. If you want to add premium toppings such as more cheeses, onion strings, jalapenos, guacamole, bacon, chiles, fried egg, pineapple or mushrooms it costs a buck for each additional topping. The regular toppings including lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, 1,000 island dressing and onions are free with your burger. Protein choices include beef, chicken, veggie and turkey burgers.

You can also choose your bun, fresh briouche, sliced sourdough, wheat, or opt to have your burger lettuce wrapped or over mixed greens. Nicole is watching her gluten intake so she opted for a lettuce wrapped burger with sweet potato fries.

Guests can choose from two sides, house cut sweet potato fries or french fries. The dipping sauces include chipotle mayo, bbq, garlic mayo, chipotle ketchup, tabasco ketchup, buttermilk ranch, buffalo, southwest and teriyaki. My friend Nicole and I tried most of them and we both loved the buttermilk ranch and garlic mayo.
There are lots of reasons to visit Rounds, affordable and easy to order burgers, fresh ingredients, figure-friendly options, great sauces and open late – till 2 am most nights, but you better get there fast. As soon as more people know that an inexpensive tasty burger and fries with killer sauce options joint is available in WeHo, Rounds will surely be packed. Located at 8871 Santa Monica Boulevard.
