Not the fastest place during rush hour but the service certainly makes up for it. Marty's is the kind of place you can be "one of the regulars" at. The owner/cooks were friendly, and the hot dogs were pretty good. The chili on the chili dog was fantastic. I only wish the onions had a finer chop. Street parking was easy to find down the street.
I love that you can see them work the grill from behind the ordering counter. It's a great place for a quick bite and there's ample outdoor seating. I look forward to going before 11am for their breakfast sandwich and burrito.
A local burger institution that always delivers. Home of the "combo" where you get a split hot dog in addition on your burger! A 50/50 fries and onion rings is also never a bad decision. Staff is super friendly and they accept card now! Seating is minimal to some spots in the back and a few counter/bar seats.
It is indeed a "stand" although there are a handful of counter stools around the side. But mostly this is a takeout spot. The "Combo" is a thick burger with all the fixings and a cut and split hot dog on top. Here's a hot tip: just order a hot dog. Or two hot dogs. The burger is nice and thick but not well-seasoned. On the other hand, the hot dog is huge and has a ton of rich meaty flavor. We also tried the 50/50 (onion rings and fries) and they were well-seasoned and very nice. But I would try the chili fries next time. Everything was cooked to order and the workers were delightful. Get the outstanding hot dogs. Well worth a visit.
Yes yes yes. Definitely recommend if you happen to be in the area. They have the combo which is a hot dog sliced on a hamburger. It tastes better than it sounds. Chili cheese fries were solid too. +1 for not upcharging me on ranch. Seating is outdoor and parking is not very easy but its workable. Service was great as well too. Closes early so plan accordingly. 5/5
The combo hamburger hot dog sandwich is ok, but the chili fries were divine. I don't think I'll ever have fries like that again. The hot dog overpowers the beef patty, so I wish it was a double patty burger. The mayonnaise strangely works with the salty hot dog. The sandwich was not my favorite. The chili fries were a different story. I wish I had known I would have the best fries of my life today so I could've finished that first. The crisp was perfectly uniform for every fry, and it was flaky on the inside. The chili was ok, but I would've had a meal with only fries if I had known. Parking is street only I think, and luckily the machines were ripped out today. There's a small lot in the back, but I feel it's for employees. Outdoor dining only, and there were some flies interested in eating for free. Accepts credit cards
Oh Marty's where have you been all my life? I've literally lived in LA my entire life and never stopped into Marty's before today. Of course, Sundays there's tons of street parking and no meters to pay. We were warmly greeted and placed our order at the window. We had the cheeseburger, hot dog, and hamburger + the 50/50-onion rings and fries. Service was quick and the food was amazing. We sat on the back patio under an umbrella. The burgers were perfectly cooked and messy-just the way I like 'em! The hot dog was perfect too. I had to fight my husband for the last onion ring-they were that good. Even Murphy the Doodle enjoyed half a French fry. We are definitely becoming regulars!!
Nostalgic hamburger & hot dog stand. Counter seats or patio out back. They do one thing and do it right
Old and rustic, I get why they're a beloved neighborhood hamburger stand - which, generally speaking, are a dying breed these days. Menu is just innovative enough in the old school way - add a hot dog or pastrami to your burger, get a pile of fries, maybe a second patty if you're particularly hungry. Can't say it's fancy or even particularly memorable, but it's a solid meal. Add in a super friendly staff and juuuust a bit of counter seating, all outdoor, for vibes, and something about it hits right, at least for a certain subset of customers; it's very obvious they have regulars as I was eating my meal.
This is one of those spots I always recommend when friends or family are visiting from out of town and want a quick, classic LA bite. It's simple, nostalgic, and never lets me down. Roses:Never disappoints- my go to order is chili cheese fries with a Coke (elite combo)The staff is super friendly and somehow always remembers my orderLove the back patio seating when the weather's nice Thorns:I wish they were open later for dinner or late-night cravings, or had a delivery option(Although... my waistline is probably grateful they don't ) Overall, if you're looking for the perfect casual stop that hits every time, Marty's is for you!
Still not brave enough to even try the combo (hamburger and hot dog together) , but the burger was good enough and hit the spot.
Marty's Hamburger Stand never disappoints. The bacon cheeseburger is always perfect, and the chili cheese fries hit every single time. Everything comes out hot, flavorful, and exactly the way you want it. The cooks are always super friendly too, which makes the whole experience even better. This spot is a true classic and always worth the stop!
What I Ordered: -The Combo with Chili and Cheese -Chili Cheese Fries Marty's is an institution in West LA. They're famous for the combo, which is a burger and hot dog combined in one bun. I had The Combo last time, and it was pretty good. I felt like it was a bit too much meat, and I'm a carnivore through and through. This time, I decided to give it another try, but with chili instead, and I loved it! The chili is a bit salty here, but it's pretty good chili; I'm not gonna lie. I love The Hat, and that's my go-to spot in SGV, as I live in that area. The chili at The Hat is terrible. The chili at Marty's is pretty good. I also got an order of chili cheese fries for my son, but he didn't want them. Get inside Daddy's belly! I didn't have it until a few hours later, but it was still delicious. I love taking those spicy peppers and squeezing all those spicy juices on top of the chili cheese fries, and I add some ketchup as well, and I'm in Heaven. I wish Marty's was open earlier and closed later. The guy there is telling me that they got a banging breakfast burrito, but they open a little too late for me to get breakfast before work. Closing at 4 pm on the weekend is pretty ludicrous, I'm not going to lie. At least close at 6 or 7 pm, but 4 pm before dinner time makes literally no sense to me. I guess they do enough business in the day.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this place to be as good as it was! If you've never been here, you've gotta try the Combo. Like the sign says, they're the home of the Combo. The Combo is a huge hamburger topped with a full hot dog that's grilled, sliced up, and loaded right into the burger. They finish it with mayonnaise, ketchup, onions, tomato, and lettuce, and somehow it all comes together really well. It's a big sandwich, but every bite had a great balance of flavors. The burger was really good, but the hot dog was definitely the star of the show. You could tell it was a quality hot dog. It had a nice crisp bite to it, and even sliced up, it still had that great texture that made it stand out. I was definitely full by the time I finished. Jerry, who cooked my food and took my order, was also super friendly and a lot of fun to talk to. Great food, great service, and an all-around great experience. This was an easy 10 out of 10 for me, and I'll definitely be back. read more
Stopped by Marty's on a Saturday afternoon and had a bit of a nostalgic moment. I used to come here as a kid, and it pretty much feels exactly the same in the best way. It's one of those classic, old-school burger stands you don't see much of anymore (especially in the West LA area), tucked in between a gas station and a fire station. no frills, just doing its thing. I grabbed a double cheeseburger and a Coke, and it was solid. Could have used some more seasoning or some thousand island. I think my pallet has been spoiled by In N Out. All in all. Solid. This felt more like a throwback than a "wow" meal. Still good, just not something I'm going out of my way for. Bottom line: solid spot, great nostalgic vibe, good food. Will I be back? Maybe. Not a regular go-to, but definitely a place I'm glad is still around. read more
I always see this place when I am in area. I decided to stop and get a hamburger and tater totes. I ordered a turkey burger with half tater tots and pinions rings . It was made fresh to order. Everything had flavor and the burger meat was tender. Service and atmosphere was cool. Plenty of seating outside in rear of restaurant and this place been open since 1959. read more

This is just a solid establishment. There's no real secrets here at least with the hotdog, which is what I ordered and drove across town to try out. It's a regular Vienna beef hotdog on what looks like a store-bought bun. I'm going to take a guess and say that the chili is maybe store-bought. Maybe they are making their own I don't know. It seems basic. There's no grated cheese. They just put a big slice of cheese directly on the perfectly charred hotdog and then pour hot chili on top of it along with the mustard. I had a little more mustard on top to my liking and it tastes exactly like what you expect a chili cheese dog to taste like. Exactly. It's just a good tasting hot dog. But I don't think they're doing anything special except giving great service in a local favorite establishment that has remained consistent since 1959. The vibe here is great. Very Westside vibe. I liked sitting on the back patio listening to all the very west side local conversations from people who have obviously come here every weekend forever. Even though there's no secrets to their ingredients I think what does it justice is that they stay busy so everything is coming fast meaning it's fresh. It's just fresh. I think I've actually been here before when I lived on the west side and just forgot about Marty's. It seemed very familiar to me but it's been here forever and maybe I was just enjoying being around nice Angelenos on a Saturday. read more
4++ Small no-frills hamburger stand located on the west side that's been here for a very, very, very long time. The guys here have always been super friendly every time I've been here. Has an old-school feel to it, like places you find on the East Coast. In addition to hamburgers, they have some other comfort, food classics like hotdogs and other types of sandwiches etc. I started coming here because it was pretty close to one of the places I worked at in Century City. On my last trip, I got a fire dog, which was delicious. The way they grill up the hotdog and bring out some more of the flavor with all the toppings is great. I also really love their tater tots. Fresh and crispy. i've always been able to find parking close by on the street or around the corner closer to the neighborhood homes. read more

Hidden small gem! Amazing comfort food and the staff is so personable, hard working, and pleasant. I will definitely come back every time I'm in the area. Combo chili cheese burger was phenomenal with chili cheese fries! Cash only place. Definitely recommend all of their menu. They have orange bang which complimented the food perfectly. read more

Pro-tip: cash only Not half-bad. One of the few true burger stands left in Los Angeles. A relic and a gem of yesterdays past, Marty's is known for their 'combo' burger. Home of the combo, it's essentially a burger and grilled burger fused together to form a more beefy union. The burger is grilled, and the hot dog is known as butterfly style. Marty's chose this route; so the dog doesn't awkwardly protrude out of the bun. Instead, the dog fits nicely on top and sinking your teeth in becomes less of a chore . read more

I ALWAYS stop here when I am in the area on business. This is a classic little burger spot. Service is always great. Everyone I've encountered here is friendly and professional. The combo burger is what I prefer. It comes with a split and fried hotdog on top. The chili is excellent and the tater tots come done just right. If you are craving a burger and are anywhere near here, please stop and try them out. Let's all keep this place in business! read more

I was feeling nostalgic and wanted a piece of Americana that is being stomped out by every Green restaurant. I've driven by this joint a hundred times and never stopped but often wondered? My boys and I were pleasantly surprised by this tiny hot dog & hamburger stand. Fast & friendly service and the combo hotdog & cheeseburger was exactly as it should be! Tasty home styled food from a grill. The orange bang was awesome and reminded me of my youth. The French fries and chili were on point but maybe no more chili because my 60 year old digestive track revolted later needing a lot of Tums, lol. Marty's son does a good job keeping to the age old tradition that was so common place a few decades ago. Now smash is in and old fashioned not so much.... Except it's great and cheaper! Give Marty's a chance if you're hungry and in RANCHO Park area on Pico. Even the customers were talkative and offered friendly banter. read more
Who knew? A hamburger combo with a burger and a hotdog all in one bun can bring you such joy in your mouth! As you bite into the thin but soft bun, you also get the plump, popping, juicy Vienna sausage and the beef patty at the same time, and all of a sudden there is a party in my mouth. When the person at the counter said they are famous for the combo, although it sounded weird, I had to believe and give it a try. I am glad I did! I got some tater tots, fries, and onion rings with it, and they were crunchy and moist. No wonder this tiny little burger stand has thrived to exist and brought a surprising appetite to people in West Los Angeles since 1959. read more

We have company here from Oklahoma. When Jett got off the plane, he just wanted to try In and Out I advised To Try Marty's, but it took two days to get them here. It is now unanimous Marty's beats in and out!!!. read more

I dont know why its called ORIGINAL - there is 0 originality to it - I got a cheeseburger. The patty was barely warm, buns had that nasty flour flavor and were barely toasted. The guy who made a burger didn't wash his hands and didn't use gloves. He just threw one ingredient on top of another and boom its ready. They accept only cash and the parking situation is not the best. The road "ambience" XD. You are sitting basically next to the busy street and absorb all the sounds and road "aroma". I ended up throwing half of my burger into the trash can. Not recommended read more
