    I've been wanting to try this place since it opened and it did not disappoint! I think $20+ is standard these days for a burger and a combo. The smash burger was delicious , I got the OG burger and it was juicy and not super greasy. I enjoyed the fries as well. I did try the lemonade which was too sweet for me . I plan to go back and try the wings .

    Been wanting to try Marathon Burgers since inception, but had not made it til now. Ordered the Smash Burger Combo with the Blue Lemonade. And a Marathon Burger as well. The service was friendly and proficient. The ambiance was one that let you know that these Burgers are GOOD. A few people pulled up to get their meals as well. Enjoyed my meal thoroughly. The Burgers were both delish. The Brioche Buns giving it a real sense of value (along with those Wagyu Beef Patties) allowing one to appreciate the effort put in to making these Burgers doable regardless. Whatever time of day. These Burgers stand on their own. The Fries perfectly mesh with the Burgers. Just like I like them. A little crisp but tender in their bite. Will surely be back and want to give Marathon Burgers and Staff Kudos for a great meal experience worth repeating. See you soon.

    Last time I was in LA, Marathon Burger was closed. My cousin told me the one in Venice Beach was open as she knows I love the beach. The burger is small and pricey for my Texas standards but good. The service was slow but still very friendly. The French fries need a do over. Also, why are you serving me a can drink, pouring into a cup with ice. Just give me the can. If I could just rate on the burger it would be a four but adding everything else the experience gets a three only because the service was good but slow, the burger was excellent. However, pricing, French fries and that can soda brings the rating down.

    It's on the corner and hard to miss, the lines to order move quickly, staff was chill and polite, they played OLD jams outside which made waiting for our food easy! I got the classic Marathon Burger and it was DELICIOUS!!! The Wagyu was cooked perfectly, all the toppings were added to the burger in a way that when you take a bite nothing is falling out. It was so flavorful and the secret sauce made it pop! Such a good burger for the value, and I know where I'll be grabbing burgers when I'm in Venice from now on!

    My fiancée and I were so excited to try this spot because we've heard nothing but good things. And I'll get it out of the way now the food was actually really good! But waiting 30-40 minutes for 1 burger was terrible. And it seemed like the worker built up the line purposefully to post on their social media. The outside seating is also nothing crazy but it is nice that the place is beach side. Overall I'd want to try something else from their menu because the marathon burger was great, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it if the workers at the same as last time.

    i've only tried the wings but first bite had me in love. They are outstanding. I like hot and they're crunchy and they're not all huge like some wing places Half. I hate those super huge steroid wings. These are real wings. That taste great. Highly recommend these.

    After a full day of swimming at the beach, my little guy was ready to refuel. We decided to swing by Marathon Burger, honoring the spirit of Nipsey as we support local businesses. With a combo costing $26, Nipsey's words, "double up," resonate even more in this moment. Lol The food was decent; my son mentioned the smash burger reminded him of In-N-Out. So to him that's a 5/5. The customer service truly stood out. The young man and woman who took my order were incredibly kind, quickly addressing my needs despite a hiccup with my Yelp order. Just a reminder: it's best to call ahead since they don't take Yelp orders. We parked at the Pacific parking, embracing a brief 10-minute walk to reach our destination. Life is all about the journey. (But I took my car instead lol and got lucky w/ parking)

    The Marathon Burger

    Venice Beach has all your typical boardwalk/carnival food options but if you want something different than corn dogs, fresh cut fruit and fried Oreos, then Marathon Burger is a great option to go to. For $20, you can get a Marathon Burger (a smash patty with American cheese, sliced peppers and house pickles in a brioche bun), a generous side of seasoned fries and a drink. To cut to the chase, it is a very good meal. Solid! I would come here again, most definitely. The lines on a Thursday afternoon was minimal so I can't contest about how the lines are on a weekend. I walked up and managed to make my order, sat down and in 10 to 15 mins, we got our order. The staff was friendly and the vibe was chill.

    I'm pleased that I was able to try out this location on Venice. I guess I had my expectations set high. Unfortunately, I found the food was subpar for the price. The fries weren't crunchy, meaning they probably weren't cooked fresh. However, the flavor of the fries were good, I believe I tasted paprika? I ordered the veggie burger which was ok yet fulfilling, it had the taste of country style potatoes that you get at a diner. The spot is a walk up and order your food and sit outside location. I had the blue lemonade which was suuuper sweet, but if that's your preference then you'll be satisfied. The service was excellent, the girl who took our order was very friendly.

    June 4, 2025 | Venice Beach | On Wednesday, I walked up the boardwalk, excited to try a restaurant new to the neighborhood, Marathon Burger! What a delicious burger find! I knew of the music, the brand and of the man & now it was time to meet the burger! Vegan Burger: Absolutely delicious & juicy! I immediately enjoyed the seasoned to perfection patty with a little bit of spice from the red chilles, just how I like it! Every bite was honestly flavor upon flavor, and I was loving it! I could definitely taste the presence of potatoes! The bun is lightly grilled and I love the flavorful thick red onions! There are a variety of burgers on the menu; a little something for everyone! Fries: Incredibly delicious & seasoned! Trust me, there is no way you can only eat just one! They were gone with the quickness! Hahaha! There is so much flavor! I love that there's also an option for onion rings as well, which I'm excited to try one day soon! Sweet Tea: Sweet without being overpowering; perfectly balanced! I almost feel like there's a peach flavor mixed in! It's absolutely refreshing! Customer Service: Super friendly from the moment I stepped up to the window to order and throughout! The girl who helped me was so nice, with an incredibly pleasant voice! Minutes later, after my name was called, Jay was friendly as well, as he handed me my food to go! Good vibes here! Scenery: Nipsey Hussle wall art was front, center and larger than life, as I watched people excitedly take photos and videos in front of him! Seating: There are a number of tables with umbrellas! Also, the location is right on the oceanfront; the sand is steps away, where I enjoyed my meal! Overall: I'm so excited that Marathon Burger is walking distance here on the ocean front! It's a great addition to Venice Beach! I will walk back over soon to try more items on the menu!

    The burgers were genuinely good. Just wished the service was quicker. Seemed like the process could be better organized. Even without many customers, the wait seemed a bit long. Anyway, if we talk about the quality of the food and its locations on the Venice boardwalk, it was good.

    Had to check out Marathon Burger on Venice. Got the OG burger, fries, blu lemonade and wings. The wings were really good. Only outside seating available. There are lots of orders coming in, so it might take a little while to get your food. Make sure you grab the Blu lemonade when you visit.

    Finally had a chance to stop by and so glad we did. We tried the marathon burger and the smash burger, both were 5/5. We walked up and there were maybe two ppl ahead of us. Service good, we were able to order and wait around for our food. The wait was normal, not too long. The fries and lemonade were pretty good too. I didn't realize this location is pick up only. But overall, really good. I'd go here over going to a chain burger spot.

    Stop by for a burger, heading to the forum and I'm sure glad I did. Excellent burger and onion…read morerings and the service here is very attentive. Travis and crew deserve props for making us feel right at home

    We come to this location all the time, usually before or after a movie at the nearby Cinemark, and…read morewe've always had great experiences... until last night. We went to see the Mario movie because it was $6 Tuesday, and the movie ended a little after 9, so we rushed over knowing Hopdoddy closes at 10. When we walked in, they were already mopping floors with chairs up on tables on one side, but there were still a few people eating in the bar area, so we figured we were okay. We ordered a Thunderbird bowl (dressing on the side), the burger of the month, the Smothered Texan (free, because we're Legendary status) a doble fina margarita with a tajín rim, and a Sam Adams draft. I checked the time when we finished ordering--9:34 on the dot--because it already felt like the kitchen was trying to shut things down early. We sit down, chatting, all good... until we realize our drinks haven't come. We're seated in the bar area, so we can literally see the bartender chatting with a couple, NOT making drinks. Then our food arrives. Still no drinks. I ordered a chicken patty, which typically takes longer to cook, so there's really no reason for food to beat the drinks out. I check the time again and it's 9:45. I'm about to get up, but I see the bartender finally pouring the draft, so I wait it out. Then I realize my bowl came with no dressing at all, so I get up to ask for it. On my way back, I pass the drink pickup area and see my husband's beer just sitting there... next to my empty margarita glass. Meanwhile, the bartender is back to chatting instead of finishing the drink. I had planned to just grab the drinks myself to save the server a trip, but instead I'm standing there trying to get the bartender's attention--or at least hoping he'd mix the margarita while he talked. He eventually noticed me and started making it, but by then my food was sitting at the table getting cold, so I went back to sit down. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of the Smothered Texan because by the time I got back my husband was almost done with it. The drinks finally arrived at 9:50. And to add insult to injury... the tajín rim was barely there. Honestly, I waited tables all through college and I get that it's annoying when people come in close to closing (especially on a Tues) but the experience shouldn't feel like you're inconveniencing the staff for being there. Between the missing dressing, the drinks sitting untouched, and the bartender prioritizing conversation over service, the whole night just felt off. Disappointing, especially since this has always been one of our go-to spots.

    I finally understand why this place has 4.9 stars instead of a perfect 5…read more I was walking around Venice Beach looking for a good burger and kept seeing great reviews for Burger Spot. Since I was specifically craving a smash burger, I decided to give it a try. The good news? The food was exactly what I came for. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked right. The fries were good, too. And as a bonus, they had Cherry Coke Zero -- which is surprisingly hard to find these days. For about $15 including the drink, I thought the price was completely fair for Venice. So why am I talking about 4.9 stars? Because my wife ordered lunch from the Italian place right next door. That's when an interesting comparison happened. I waited about 15-20 minutes for my order. When it was ready, I got up and picked it up myself. The burger came in a takeout container. After I finished eating, I threw everything away myself. Meanwhile, my wife received her food in about five minutes. It was served on a real plate. Someone brought it to the table. Later, a staff member came by to ask if everything tasted good and if she needed anything else. The funny part? She paid only a few dollars more than I did. Both of us left the highest tip option the terminal offered because we appreciated the effort and wanted to support local businesses. And that's exactly when it clicked. Burger Spot serves a very good burger. In fact, I'd happily come back. The food deserves the reputation. But when the restaurant next door delivers a noticeably better overall experience for almost the same money, the difference becomes impossible not to notice. So yes, I'm still giving Burger Spot 5 stars. The burger was good. The fries were good. The price was fair. But if the owners ever wonder what separates 4.9 from a perfect 5.0, they don't need to look very far. Just look at the neighbors. No hard feelings -- that's simply what I experienced as a customer. And if Burger Spot matches its service to the quality of its food, they'll have something truly special.

    Hands down, this is the best freaking smash burger spot in LA. It seriously does not get better…read morethan this.

Everything we ordered was enjoyable, and the kitchen did a great job. The reason for the 3-star review is the service experience. Our server, who also appeared to be tending bar and possibly handling multiple responsibilities, came across as somewhat dismissive at times. For example, when I asked if the lemonade was freshly made, he jokingly replied, "Haha, not here." While it may have been intended as humor, it didn't come across very professionally. My elderly mother also had to ask several times for ketchup, and although he acknowledged her with a wave and indicated he would return, it took longer than expected. There was also some confusion with one of our orders, and a beer that seemed a bit flat. I want to be fair because the food was good, and I understand that service issues can sometimes be the result of understaffing, lack of training, or management challenges rather than one individual. My intention is not to criticize anyone personally but to provide constructive feedback. I normally don't write reviews, especially negative ones, but I felt this was worth mentioning because the restaurant has a lot of potential. With a little more attention to customer service and communication, the overall experience could easily match the quality of the food.
