Walk up, order, sometimes there's a line. If you're the type to complain your food isn't ready before you finish ordering... this place isn't for you. Go hit a drive-thru and keep it pushing. I waited about 20 minutes for the Marathon Burger--and yeah, it was absolutely worth it. Flavorful, a little spicy, and built right (no falling apart halfway through like a bad decision). Fries came out hot and seasoned just right. This isn't really a sit-down spot--it's Venice boardwalk vibes. Grab your food, walk to the beach, catch the sunset, and enjoy it the way it's meant to be eaten. Service was smooth, no issues. RIP Nipsey read more

Just hit Marthon Burger in Venice Beach and it was an easy 10/10. I ordered the smash burger, fries, and wings, and everything came out hot, fresh, and done right. The smash burger was exactly what you want from a legit smash spot thin patties with that perfect crispy, caramelized edge, great seasoning, and a solid bun-to-meat ratio. Not "super juicy" like a thick burger, but crazy flavorful with that classic smashburger crunch and bite. The toppings were fresh and it all held together without being a messy situation. The fries were top tier: crispy outside, fluffy inside, and seasoned just right not soggy, not oily. The wings were the sleeper hit. Great texture, not greasy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they're not cutting corners. If you're in Venice Beach and want a meal where every item hits, Marthon Burger is the move. I'm definitely coming back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Marathon Burger - Marathon Burger Combo with blue Lemonades - Burgers Near Me - Venice, California

Average burger, nothing special at all. Bread was okay. Saved it honestly but damn these prices are out of control. Tell me the reason for using waygu then smothering it with "secret sauce" aka every burger sauce known to man, so you can't even taste the meat. Absolute waste of money. Classic LA hype for no reason. Over priced garbage. read more

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) read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've been dying to try Marathon since February but the Melrose location was super far. I came here on 11/30 about 6 pm. I ordered the Marathon burger combo with blue lemonade and a slice of the pound cake. I about $27. There was a cute little hippie booth next to and I spent $80 there so a very expensive dinner. The wait was very long and I'm not sure why because there was only 3 people in line before me. Staff was friendly and I didn't mind the wait but I'm knocking off 2 stars for the hard as a brick pound cake that they either need to take off the menu or get a granny who knows what she doing. It was so dense rubbery & a waste of money because it went in the trash. The Marathon burger was delicious. The bun was perfect great meat & the peppers added a nice heat and crunch. I was starving and left fulfilled. Onion rings were nice and crunchy. I ate in the car because I was cold and tired read more

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! read more

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.

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. read more

The lady working tonight was rude to my bf.. He asked to PAY for extra secret sauce & she said he couldn't it was 1 secret sauce per burger.. Ok I guess..

I would have just asked for a refund personally but he wanted to support Nip! read more

Honestly, one of the best burgers in La. Very unique and iconic flavor of its own and tender all throughout, seasoned so well, the sauces are fire. A little pricey but it's wagyu. You get a lot of balanced flavors and the BUN...the bun is crazy. Fries were good. Chicken sandwich...fire! Lemonade...really good but if you have sugar issues...not a lot of options for you. Only complaint is the combo is $20 but I don't drink lemonade so if I only want burger and fries...it's still $20. Customer service is decent...not bad but could be better with energy and warmth. It's nice to be able to see everything being made back there and the music playlist is on point. Overall...a place you have to try and somewhere I'll always come back to. Proud of the marathon brand read more

I've been to the Marathon Burger before on Melrose Ave, but this was my first time checking out their Venice location. I brought two friends with me, one who's pescatarian and wanted to try the veggie burger, and another who had never had Marathon before. I was planning to order the wings, but unfortunately they were sold out by the time we arrived. Honestly, that's probably a good sign--they must be that good. Next time I'm in LA, I'm definitely coming back to either location to finally try them. I ended up getting the regular burger combo, one friend got the veggie burger, and the other got the regular burger as well. We also ordered onion rings, and let me just say, everything was on point. My friends were both impressed, especially the one who tried it for the first time. They were seriously blown away. To top it off, we randomly ran into Earl from Earl's on Crenshaw, and he was super friendly and cool. We chatted for a bit and told him we'd be checking out his new Venice location soon, even though we still love the original. We went super late around 8pm. The atmosphere was chill, not too crowded, and the service was phenomenal. Friendly staff, quick turnaround, and great energy all around. If you've never tried Marathon Burger, you're missing out. The food is consistently great, the vibes are solid, and the staff makes you feel welcome. Just do yourself a favor and go. If you're like me, show up earlier so you don't miss the wings. read more

It took 50 minutes to get our order (2 burgers and 2 fries) and the customer service was not very good this time. Not too mention they weren't even very busy. Seems like they are starting to slack up. Guess who won't be back and will not encourage anyone I know to get burgers from them. read more

30 min to get my burger, extremely slow no urgency wouldn't recommend unless you're not hungry and can wait

Service. I've been here now for 35 minutes. It took 15 minutes to order and we've been here for 20 minutes and we still don't have our food. I have no idea what the food is like, but it's not worth this kind of weight for a takeout place on the boardwalk. read more

Food ok Service ok Ambiance ok Burger was good, fries was meh, onion rings was crispy but lacking an onion flavor and the blue lemonade was ok. $26 for a marathon combo and side of onion rings.
