    My son and I stopped at The Marathon Burger for lunch on a weekday. The burger stand was clean. The customer service was good. It was our first time so the cashier took time to explain the difference in the burgers. We ordered strips, burgers, fries, wings and blueberry drink. The food was fresh and tasty. Definitely would try it again. We ate out on the patio. One of the employee saw to it the tables ans seats were clean. I watched him wipe down tables after patrons left after eating which I loved.

    I am a big Nipsey fan & have had this spot on my list for a while. Each time I tried to make a trip the line was insane. Finally made the trip & found the line was reasonable enough to join! Parking is a bit of a hassle at this location. I think it's all about luck so probably just plan to take some time looking for parking. My boyfriend & I came with an appetite so we ordered quite a few things. We tried the OG Burger combo, fried shrimp, wings & fries. I also got the blue lemonade. The star of the show for me was the burger, I really enjoyed it. Flavorful, & just enough meat on it. I enjoyed the fried shrimp quite a bit as well! Just wish they offered hot sauce with it but I would definitely get it again. The wings were a bit dry but still had flavor. We took the food to go so the fries did get a little soggy, will have to give those a review next time when they are fresh. We waited quite a bit for our food, probably about 35-40 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. I love the ambiance of the place. The staff was super nice & chatty. One of the staff outside had us cracking up while waiting for our order. Glad to see the Marathon vision is staying alive & well repped. Can't wait to come back

    The wait was only 15 mins and the service was great. I ordered the marathon burger. It had unique flavors and tasted pretty good, so I wish it was bigger. The fries were seasoned perfectly but kinda soggy. They still tasted really good though. With minor tweaks this place could be great but it was still pretty good.

    I've met Nipsey back in 2014 and still hold the beloved photo I have with him. We were listening to his music when he was still on his way up and will forever "Double Up" on that. I finally got the chance to try this legacy establishment as I've been eager to try this one. Marathon burger just happened to be a vendor at a major event I participated in and worked for. I've tried their vegan burger option and it was hearty good. It came with this amazing sauce. The fries were just enough to complete the meal like any other typical fries. The burger was the main head if anything lol The staff on hand showed their strong work ethic at this event. Props to their team! I will say they are worth doing business with for your next event. I plan to give a location a visit to get a feel for it (Locations in Melrose and Venice). Amazing burgers! As always, the marathon continues! Thank you!

    I happen to be in the area for an appointment and when I parked my car I looked and saw Marathon Burger I was so excited, I couldn't wait to try it and OMG they did not disappoint!! The BURGER WAS SOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!! I'm not a burger person but because it's Nipsey! I'll eat it, of course my theme is to support black own business! The staff was very nice as well Oh can't forget I got the Fried Shrimp as well they were also good! And the blue green drink to go with it Awesome food!! I will be back!!!

    Marathon burger and onion rings

    Overhyped and overpriced Burger was good, but not $15 good. The onion rings, got to say the worst I've had. They where so hard to eat, tough breading and hard to chew. Thanks alot Brown Bag mornings for hyping this place up.

    We stopped by Marathon Burger in Los Angeles while at the convention center. Service was great. We ordered their smash burger, and it did not disappoint. The double patty was stacked with cheese, ketchup, mustard, and pickles on a soft brioche bun. The patties had that perfect smash-style crisp on the edges while still staying juicy, and the cheese oozed right into everything, tying all the flavors together. The tiny pickles and ketchup/mustard combo gave it the perfect balance. The brioche bun held up well without getting soggy. I only wish it was bigger or maybe a triple patty. We ordered fries and their almost famous blue juice Overall, a really solid, satisfying smash burger. It was simple, flavorful, and done right. I'd definitely order it again. Just a little pricey.

    I've been wanting to try marathon burger since it opened! I've always been a Nipsey fan and we all miss him rip! We came on a Monday morning when they first opened. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. I'm on a diet so we got the Jr burgers with fries, onion rings and an Arnold Palmer. The burgers were made fresh on the grill and the onion rings and fries were nice and hot, everything was delicious 10/10 even the ranch and spicy ranch. The jr size burgers are filling enough. It's great location on Melrose, the seating is limited so I suggest getting there early. They're are 2 other locations and another one opening in Long Beach march 1st. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in LA!

    no where to park had to park down the street around the block got there and it was no line got the marathon burger it was good but small but the hot lemon pepper wings was my favorite not to salty with just the right amount of heat but my fries could have been fried a little harder I loved the red lemonade not a fan of the blue a little sour a bit pricey but it was delicious.. the service here is great the guy kept my lemonade full that is a plus the staff here is amazing...I will definitely be back

    Gotta support while I'm in LA

    First I'd like to say if you aren't a fan of peppers Fresno peppers to be exact tell them to hold them. Unfortunately I didn't read what came on the burger, I didn't like the pepper combination at all. For starters my vegan patty was super cold, I was so disappointed although the peppers were hot. It didn't help me with the cold patty. Since this is the house patty it is made with potatoes and rice. Neither one of those ingredients are good cold, unless the potatoes are in a potato salad! Other than that please pay attention to the cook time on this patty. It was literally falling off in clumps. They do have another vegan option the mushroom burger. I just wanted to see how the house patty tasted. Service was great! Friendly staff, the location is pretty tiny. You can order for pick up, luckily it wasn't too packed! We were able to order and got the food in like 20 minutes. The wings 5/5 we got a 12 piece half mild and half lemon pepper mild. Fried to perfection omg they were super yummy! I loved the onion rings and fries! Those onion rings had a crunch that made you wanting another bite! Fries shoestring style with the perfect crisp as well. One thing for sure they have perfected the crisp and crunch! Now I was disappointed the cheesecake dessert wasn't available because of a broken stove! Now listen here listen here! Being this is a tourist attraction the entire menu should be available or offer another dessert that can be cooked without the oven like a banana pudding. The drinks another 5/5 I got the blue one a perfect blend of sweet without being too sweet. I will try again making the adjustments needed to fit my preferences. I'll update the review the next time I'm in California. Other than that thank you Blacc Sam and family for keeping the marathon going!

    Cute straw dispenser but I don't like that others can touch your straw

    I was lucky to walk right up and order on a late Saturday afternoon. I ordered the marathon burger combo and mild wings. We ordered to go but as I waited for my food at the counter we decided to eat there. The burger was good, I was expecting the fries to wow me because people have been raving about them but they were just regular seasoned fries. The wings were good and they were small which I like. I can't stand the jumbo wings. The blue lemonade was good also. The restaurant is clean. They have outdoor seating and a long counter where you can eat. When it's crowded a lot of people stand inside to wait for the order so that can be uncomfortable to have people standing around you while you eat. Luckily, the day I went there wasn't a lot of people standing around and they were getting the orders out quick. I needed to wash my hands before I ate, so I was happy to see a sink outside of the bathroom that I can quickly use.

    I had been wanting to check Marathon Burger out for awhile after hearing decent reviews and comments but the location on Melrose was kind of a deterrent for a while just due to it being out of the way. But I made my way over and parking was tougher with it being on a main street in a popular area but I was able to find parking in the area. The ambiance immediately was inviting from the decoration along with the service being very helpful during my whole visit. After finishing the food, I felt that the blueberry lemonade and the bun of the burger was really the best while the fries were a bit overseasoned but not bad and everything else was just ok. Glad I had the chance to try but I'm not sure if I would go for a good while.

    Fire food, great attentive staff , customer service was top tier with recommendations and making us feel welcomed. The establishment was clean & personable. The burger was so good, I had to order a couple to take back home to east coast with me . Wish we had one in Jersey or New York

    Got these sandwiches to cater an event and they were great…read more Came presented nicely in a display box with a cute explanation. Sandwiches are well sized. The bread is super fresh and tasty. I got the caprese, which was the fan favorite. The monaco (tuna sandwich), which was spicy and tasty. I also got the fiorelli which didn't seem like as much of a crowd pleaser but was still decent. Myself and some others were not a fan of the lemon preserve but with those removed the sandwiches were great.

    I got the Viale de Guanciale (instead of the Viale de Parma bc I'm more partial to guanciale) and…read moremy boyfriend got the Colucci. Both sandwiches were wrapped very nicely and so so good! I preferred my sandwich because I loved the crunch from the pistachios and the sweetness that came from the jam. It was a good size - I only ate about half and saved the rest for later. I originally thought that the amount of guanciale was lacking but it was still an overall well balanced sandwich so I didn't mind while eating. I enjoyed the mushrooms that came in the Colucci but wanted more of the eggplant flavor to come through. For both, I could tell the quality of the ingredients itself and the freshness of the bread - which is KEY! I also got a nutella canelé (which I've never tried) and that was the perfect sweet treat to end off my meal. DEF RECOMMEND! Before you even come in, you can smell the focaccia baking. I came here on a Saturday around 11am and there was no line - it took about 10 minutes to get my sandwiches and there was ample seating inside and out. Street parking was fine - metered and non metered spots all around. Would come again if i'm in the area!!

The restaurant is billed as French-Vietnamese and previously offered pho and related fare but did not have these options on our visit. Our family came on a Saturday evening after an afternoon in the mall. I got the Ahi Tuna burger ($18), a substantial slab of Ahi Tuna steak on a bun with a wasabi mayo and paired with perfectly crispy, well salted frites ($5). We also got the French lobster roll ($26) a decent, but not groundbreaking, sandwich with a spicy sauce. One of our children got the tomato soup ($10) which was phenomenal - creamy and tomatoey - and paired well with grilled cheese. The cafe was clean and positioned with a great view; service was good too, with the waitress making suggestions and accommodating our children's special requests. Prices, as listed above, were excellent for the quality and quantity of food provided in an otherwise quite expensive area. More Parisien then Indochine, Nicholas deserves the unusually high rating it commands for the area. If you're in the Beverly Center and looking for a quality, high-value meal, Nicholas est la meilleur choix. Magnifique! Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5

Yes, I know, we all wanna be skinny like those beautiful French girls... ;) But Sometimes.... You've gotta just ignore social norms and say F it! F is for French! lol Yeah, sometimes you've gotta just exclaim: "I'm gettin' the Burger and I'm most DEFINITELY getting the Fries!" And nobody and I mean Nobody is going to stop me! Yeah, that was me and my mindset when I was out at the Beverly Center back in August. Hey! It was lunch. I was hungry. & Nicolas Eatery was there to handle all my needs. And just like Napoleon Bonaparte would have done... I strolled in, I walked straight to the bar top, sat down, placed my napkin in my lap, ordered a burger, a side of fries and of course L.A's FINEST tap water. And just like that, instead of following trends... I was setting them! So what did I get you ask?? Le Beverly Burger of course!! This alongside their perfectly fried French fries which you know I dipped in Ketchup... Yes, I know, so American of me! =) Sadly, my only mistake I made on this day... I should have ordered my favorite French Beer, 1664 Kronenbourg.... Damn! But Lance, this Mall is so crazy, where the heck do I go?? Nicolas Eatery is located on Level 6, or "six" in French (Fun Fact: spelled the same, sounds totally different) and trust, my French is No Good! If you're able to snag a window seat, you will get a clear view of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign in the distance. Of course I went with the Burger, but trust, this place has more than just French Fries. -French Baguette with Butter -French Onion Soup -French Omelette But if want to drink like the French do... You know they've got a little vin (wine) or you can go with the classic French 75 cocktail. So, to this ai say: Be like the French. Eat like the French. Drink... Like the French and come start your own La Révolution! But instead of storming Bastille, storm Beverly Center and demand your freedom to order whatever the hell you choose from Nicolas Eatery! And after you're done, walk out proudly singing Viva La France!!!

FOOD Bubble Waffle with Pistachio Gelato (5.5/5): Omg! I didn't know they have egg waffle here as well. It's a classic Hong Kong street food that I grew up with, you don't really see it around. The egg waffle is tasty, it doesn't taste bland and not overly seasoned (it has the egg custard-y taste, not too sweet), and it has a light crisp outside. I had a gelato to pair with it. The pistachio flavor is yummy, it has chopped pistachio nuts inside so the texture is rich. If you have a sweet tooth, pair it with a scoop of gelato, they compliment each other well. *finish the gelato first so it doesn't make the egg waffle loose it's crisp Pastrami Brisket Sandwich (5/5): They recommended me the Pastrami Brisket Sandwich and the prosciutto one, I haven't had lunch so I went with the pastrami- it was good. The bread is pretty soft and it's decently portioned, you could share the sandwich. It's a simple sandwich that's healthy and flavourful, you don't feel heavy after eating it. I like that it's not messy to eat (not overly saucey)! They hold the fillings with the little wooden sticks. AMBIENCE Sitting is spacious and clean, it's at the corner of the mall so it's not too crowded. There is enough space to put your shopping bags if you're trying to grab a quick bite around. Service is quite decent, the staff recommended the right stuff. It didn't take a long time for the food to be ready, good for grab and go. OVERALL I think it's a casual spot that serves healthy quick bites, it's a good option to sit down after or in between a shopping spree. It's not loud so you could definitely hold conversations here.
