Jupiter Burger

From the outside, the stall looks like a slice of mid-century California dropped into East London – a Googie-inspired shack tucked inside Netil Market. The team behind Dom’s Subs operates the space, shifting their focus from oversized sandwiches to the specific mechanics of the West Coast smash burger. The menu is deliberately short, avoiding novelty toppings in favor of a rigid, reliable formula that mimics the neighborhood hamburger stands of Los Angeles. Inside the compact kitchen, cooks smash beef from local butcher Hill & Szrok directly onto shaved onions on the flat top. The result is a caramelized, lacy-edged patty served on a Martin’s Potato Roll. The standard Jupiter Burger comes dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and house sauce, creating a balance that leans toward the classic drive-thru profile rather than the gourmet stack. If you prefer a higher meat-to-salad ratio, the kitchen accommodates double patties without fuss. Seating is scarce, limited to a few stools at the counter where you can watch orders being assembled. Most customers treat this as a true hamburger stand: you order at the window, wait for your number, and take your food to go. Every burger arrives with a portion of hand-cut, twice-cooked fries included in the price, and the drink selection sticks to the essentials – seasonal sodas and cold cans of Five Points beer.
