Chain wise, both Fatburger and In-and-Out are much better than standard fast food fare, especially In-and-Out (You can find the closest one by going to the website and putting in your zip code) Considered by some experts to be one of the 25 best burgers in the country!
Burger joint wise, I'm partial to The Apple Pan -- great Hickory Burger, but also great Tuna, great pie and an amazing cup of coffee. Read about it here and here. Everyone should go at least once -- in fact, I'm leaning toward taking you on Friday. For the Park La Brea people, another option for a historically great burger isIrv's Burgers 8289 Santa Monica Blvd
West Hollywood, CA 90046-5925
Other popular choices would be the Counter in Santa Monica (Read a review here) and Pie 'n Burger in Pasadena.
On the more gourmet burger front, the popular consensus winner is the burger at Father's Office in Santa Monica and Father's Office II in Culver City. (A patty of fine dry-aged beef is topped with caramelized onions, Gruyère and Maytag blue cheeses, applewood-smoked bacon compote and arugula served on a soft roll.) Read the review. A runner up is 25 Degrees in the Roosevelt Hotel in Holllywood. The burger's great, the location even better. (Review here)
There's other spots as well, but the point is that one never needs to eat at McDonald's -- there's better burgers all over the city. For those interested in even more burger info, click here.
