Showed up to the Marathon Burger Venice Beach grand opening and waited in a 3 hour 38min line. So we started off bad, but I was committed. I ordered the Marathon Burger combo and after paying I got my food in less than 5 min so that was an extreme plus. The fries were amazing and the first to leave my bag. They were seasoned correctly and they weren't stingy with the portion. The burger was on a brioche bun that was grilled in butter and the beef was an amazing Wagyu covered in melted cheddar. It took 8 minutes to eat and it was gone, but it was indeed worth it. read more

My girls and I traveled from AZ and I made sure they knew to bring me here as our first stop. I was as super excited, the customer service was great, everyone was helpful and friendly. We ordered the Jr Marathon burgers, fries, wings, and shrimp, and drinks! We loved all of the food hands down I was closer to be about to eat it on the regular. The space is small but yet unique and it was just a good vibe walking up and being inside the establishment read more

Ima bit of a burger snob so I had to check out Marathon Burger. I've been twice now and the food is delicious! The Marathon Burger tastes like quality. I love that it's not huge, while still being very filling. The wings are perfect-- not huge at all (which I seriously hate). I have no complaints about this place. read more

I finally tried Nipsey Hussle's restaurant and had The Marathon Burger, and it did not disappoint! Made with 100% Wagyu beef, house-made pickles, a secret sauce, and American cheese, all on a perfectly buttered brioche bun. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and the quality of the Wagyu beef really stood out. Their milkshakes are made with Thrifty ice cream. The line was long as they've only had their grand opening very recently, but totally worth the wait for such a delicious bite. Definitely a spot I'd recommend! read more

The line is a wait but well worth it got there at 6pm didn't get in til 7:48pm took my order at 8pm didn't get my food til 8:3some

Great quality organic food. The Vegan Burger was amazing!! Love this spot, will be back to order the wings soon. The service was on point too, and it's in a prime location. read more

This was place was not very good in my opinion. $20 for a burger combo is already a little more pricey, but for wagyu it was understandable. The burger however did not taste like wagyu. We waited 45 minutes for 2 burger combos and our orders had multiple mistakes. First off, we only got one of the 2 fries we were supposed to receive. Second, my burger only came with one patty instead of two when the slogan of this place is literally "so good, you'll double up". And lastly, the fries were cold and stale. Probably won't return to this place. Edit: just found out by reviewing the menu again that I was supposed to get grilled onions and I got raw red onions. how sad... read more

If I could give no stars then I would. My family and I with children stood outside of this establishment since 8:30AM and waited for 6 hours just for the security guards and the service to be garbage. They allowed everyone they knew to skip the line while people had been waiting for hours. We end up having to leave after not getting our food or any service. Absolutely the worst read more

Marathon Burger - How close to the front we were and did not get any service. Did not allow any of the customers who were waiting inside as promised. - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I visited marathon burger on a Sunday evening. Parking was decent to find. I was able to get a park about a block down. When I got to the restaurant, there was a line outside. we waited about 15 minutes to get to the register then after placing our order, it took another 30 minutes to receive it. There's not much seating inside the restaurant however they do have a patio section that had a decent size seating. We ordered the smash order combo with fries and their specialty lemonades. I got a blue lemonade and my friend got a red lemonade. They were extremely overly sweetened. It tasted like sugar water however the burger was absolutely delicious especially with their secret sauce. Their fries were good as well, the seasoning was nice. The staff was kind however they move a little slow, but we werent in a rush. Overall I would be back here again because the food is really that good. read more

Amazing service. Food was delicious. But what amazed me the most was when we walked back and used the bathroom, they remembered me and gave me my jacket I left behind. We have to remember the lord has people looking after us everywhere. AMEN read more

Visited the Venice location this past weekend and ordered wings, 2 of the Marathon burger combos with a red and blue lemonades. Burger was delicious and the sauce is fire, fries are well seasoned, wings are good too. Lemonades are good just very sweet! We did feel a little unwelcomed tho, got weird looks and an attitude at the counter, our food took longer than others after us and everyone else was checked on but us while sitting. Might try the main location. read more

Super good burger spot on melrose. We ordered the marathon burger and the hot wings and they were both very good. The hot buffalo sauce was pretty spicy but very flavorful and the lemon pepper was an actual sauce which was pretty good! The wings were also the right amount of crispy. The burger was also very good, I loved the chopped Fresno chilis inside the burger. The service was also pretty quick and there was a good amount of seating outside. read more

Way too expensive isn't worth 20$ Tams way better don't fall into the hype very basic burger for the price

This burger spot in what used to be NuMoo and before that a Johnny Rockets is unfortunately quite disappointing, with outdoor seating only it left a lot to be desired. The burgers were mediocre, there was an unknown flavor to the burger bun and while the fries were seasoned, they were cold and stale. On top of everything it took over 40 minutes to get the food. Maybe the OG location's better, but this feels like growing pains that should've been figured out before they opened a second location read more

I absolutely love THIS BURGER! It was great! It's Wagyu meat, so it was extra delicious.... The line was a little long. But the wait went by fairly quick. U don't really notice b/c it's such good vibes out there! Customer service was great! Patient and polite! I'll definitely be back! Honestly it's probably the best burger spot in all of LA! Hope to see a location in Long Beach ! But until then, Melrose it is baby! May the Marathon Continue read more

I loved the vibe and atmosphere of this place. The music playing was old school classics. The service was fast and inviting. The food left me in a food coma and was well seasoned & worth every bite. I even got a free pound cake courtesy of someone in there not sure if he was a manager or what. I also liked how they asked how was everything. I'll definitely be back read more

Marathon Burger - Hot Wing Basket Combo, Smash Burger Combo - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Gosh this place has so much potential, but there's much to be improved. We came on a Friday evening around 8PM, so it was pretty busy as expected, but we only waited about 15 min to order. The look and "vibe" of the place is pretty cool too, like a modern retro diner mix. But that's where most of my pros end. Here's the bulletpoints of what went wrong: - The way they take orders here is completely redundant and ineffiecient. Basically the cashier takes your order on a paper with most of the menu choices on it, THEN they reinput the order into the computer system, making order time double for every customer - You first wait in the outdoor queue, move inside to order, then go outside to wait. When your order's ready you go BACK inside, then of course back outside againcto eat. So theres so much traffic at the door/food pickup area. - I waited almost 25-30 min for my order. This would've been mildly acceptable BUT they forgot to make a milkshake, since the paper order taking system is so innefficent and unclear for employees. Somehow, we had to wait another 15-20 min for them to make a simple strawberry shake. - Once we finally got home (a few min walk away), i realized they had missed AN ENTIRE SANDWICH from our order. Sure, I couldve double checked all the items in my bag, but the workers also could've just done their job and double checked the order -Final cherry on top, the other party in our group also had a sandwich missing. We left then to go back home and eat, and they had to wait another 15-20 min, because again, the paper ordering system is not clear for employees to follow and quality check. So from getting in line to finally eating, about 1 hour 15 min. Completely unnacceptable for such a simple menu. The ONLY reason i didnt give this one star was because the flavor on my burger and fries was actually pretty good, although it was already lukewarm from alll the waiting. Marathon Burger, y'all have a good product, but you have to get your system in order. Hoping for some big improvements in the next year. read more

Marathon Burger - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Who should come here: - B list/SoundCloud artists and their entourage - People who are willing to spend 2+ hour to get a burger and fries It's a bummer that the food is actually really good. The customer service is outright disappointing. It starts with waiting your turn in line outside of the restaurant. The security guard will dab up and let people he knows and is cool with inside the restaurant. That's where the "fun" begins. Once you order your food, you'll see a dozen orders come out and none of them are yours. Best part is the orders coming out are for people that ordered after you did who so happen to be friends with the employees or again, SoundCloud rappers and their entourage. Occasionally, people stroll inside the restaurant, skip the line, dab up the cashiers and cooks, sit down and get served a lemonade, and minutes after have a whole meal in front of them. All the while you're waiting for your buzzer to go off to get your food. Ohh and how do you forget about the random people dabbing up employees and walking behind the counter and start helping themselves to soft drinks and fries for themselves and their buddies. I am not even going to go down the food safety rabbit whole... My friends and I went on a Thursday night around 8:45pm. We didn't get our food until close to 10:50pm. Save yourself the effort and go to the next burger joint. I seriously can't see this place still open in the next five years considering how poor their customer service is and how much stuff employees are giving away for free to their friends and local SoundCloud legends. read more

Great location w/ awesome vibes. The entire staff were/are phenomenal workers making sure we enjoy our visit here. The cashier is always pleasant, and very attentive to your order requests. Always great customer service! Now let me get to my order of the 20 dollar Smash Burger combo. Them truffle fries fire! I highly Recommend slapping a few fries inside the burger; instantly get a rush of subtle flavor and deliciousness! The burger alone is a hit; just get wild with it sometime, respectfully. One of the best burger joints in town. Definitely worth a visit if/when you're in the area. Much love and respect read more

My nephew got super sick after he ate this. He was barfing for hours. The food is so mid, the service is HORRIBLE!!!! they got the entire order wrong, took damn near 45 mins to correct it. Food was cold. I'm here to always support Nip, but as for honestly on the food and service, it's bad bad bad. read more

Our food was unfortunately forgotten idk how that happened, but some folks that came before and after us got their food first... Anthony was so coo, he hooked us up and apologized. He made the inconvenience not relevant n we just looked past it. I would definitely go back cuz the food was so damn good and the KooAid bomb afffff..... read more

Not just because I'm a nipsey fan! But this burger and lemonade did not disappoint. Not only that the customer service we received by the 2 young men working the register and the young lady at the window. Very respectful. We visited the Venice location, and I would def visit that location again especially when it's nice out! Pricing to me was reasonable. Fries were hellllaa good! and wings were smackin. Thank you marathon burger. #TMC read more

Bro this is literally like the worst experience of my life. I order online so I don't have to wait in this long ass line and when door dash says my order was ready, I walked here and we waited another hour just to revive a normal burger as ordered and the other we asked for no musterd and they were plain and soggy. Like literally just bun and meat. The fries were also soggy and cold. Also we waited another 10 mins for shakes like are we dead huzz. Never go here or else you want to waste your day. read more

From the reviews, my wait wasn't that long, However I went during the week. So we ordered the vegan burger, marathon, wings and fries. The vegan burger surprised me by how seasoned and fresh it was. There weren't any fake meat in it, the marathon burger was fresh, juicy and seasoned as well. The fries they nailed it. The perfect combination of seasoning mixed with cooked to perfection soft and crispy!! A definite favorite. read more

I've now been to the spot on two occasions and they messed up on my order both times. However, that will not stop me from coming back a third time because the food is simply delicious. The smash burgers are amazing and made with quality ingredients. I really enjoy the fries. They're thin and crispy and seasoned very well. I've also tried the chicken wings (hot and lemon pepper hot) from here and the shrimp. Both were delicious. I wish the chicken wings were a little bit bigger because the flavor on them is amazing. The fried shrimp basket is a treat every time and fried perfectly. The inside is like a diner vibe and it has outdoor patio seating. You can either eat on site or take your food to go, but at least there is seating while you wait. Of all the things I tried. The only thing that took me back was the blue lemonade because it was too sweet for me. This is more of a personal preference because I like my lemonades and such water down or cut with an unsweet iced tea. I would recommend this to anybody that's in the area. Good food great prices. read more
