Marathon Burger

I was walking the Venice Boardwalk on Super Bowl Sunday and didn’t even realize Marathon Burger had opened a location there. It’s been on my list for a while, so I knew I had to stop and try it. I definitely wanted to support Nip and Sam and a Black-owned business as well. I ordered the Marathon Burger combo and it did not disappoint — super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The sauce that came with the fries? So good. Everything was fresh and delicious. There was about a 40-minute wait after ordering, but it was a beautiful day on the boardwalk, so I honestly didn’t mind. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and giving it a try.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best burger in Los Angeles — family approved! I recently took my three boys to Marathon Burger, and it was a hit from the first bite. We’ve tried burgers all over LA, and this place truly stands out. The wagyu smash burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly — simple, fresh, and done right. We’ve visited both locations, and each has its own vibe. The Melrose location is great for a classic LA food stop, while the Venice Beach location is unbeatable — eating amazing burgers right by the beach is an experience of its own. Even better, the Venice spot is open until 3am daily, which makes it perfect for an after hours stop. The staff was friendly and patient with kids, the food came out fast, and my boys are already asking when we’re going back. If you’re looking for one

I came with my mom my son and step dad and we loved it! We got the marathon combo and we doubled up of course! And we also got the OG combo and doubled up on that too! I added some bbq wings and some spicy wings and onion rings. Everything was on point! The staff was friendly and the wagyu burgers are some of the best the city has to offer! I love Nip and the Marathon brand! This is my new favorite restaurant!

I went late night around midnight. Service was a little slow but understandable at that hour. Greeted with a smile. Vegan burger was bomb! Best Onion rings I’ve had and I live in DC where we have great food options. The sauce 🤌🏾 amazing. The vegan pattie tasted homemade and hand a softer texture. Next time I think I’ll ask for the vegan spread separately. It did take a while to get my order, I’m not sure if it’s because it’s cooked separately, which I love because I’m vegetarian but other people who ordered burgers after me got their food before me. I chose onion rings because the fries weren’t my style of fries, very skinny shoe string fries. If you do the combo you can ask for onion rings instead. I’d definitely come back. I spent $21 for the vegan burger combo with the blue lemonade and

Located just steps from the sand at Venice Beach, Marathon Burger is nothing short of a flavor-packed experience. I kicked things off with their OG Burger, and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Juicy, bold, and loaded with flavor, it set the bar high. Pair that with their honey BBQ lemon pepper wings, and you’ve got a winning combo that hits every craving. The fries were golden, and seasoned just right. And don’t even get me started on the blue raspberry lemonade. It was so refreshing and perfectly sweet that I found myself wishing for a refill the second I hit the bottom of the cup. Now, full transparency, the seating is limited, and the wait time can be a bit on the longer side, especially during peak hours. But once the food hits your table, it’s clear it was worth every second.
