Vons | Smash Burgers • Philly Cheesesteak • Ealing

You're on New Broadway, the pulse of Ealing town centre, and you've clocked Vons. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the 4.9 rating and queue out the door do that. They're doing smash burgers the right way: thin, crispy-edged patties that get proper caramelisation, topped with melted cheese before the meat's even left the griddle. The Philly cheesesteaks are genuinely transportive, and they're not skimping on the filling. It's takeaway-focused, quick-fire service, zero pretension. You come here because you want something that tastes good, not because you want to photograph your lunch.
