LA’s New Restaurant Openings - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you’ve ever had the urge to eat a smashburger while watching someone do chin-ups at Muscle Beach, now’s your chance. Marathon Burger’s second location is open along the Venice boardwalk, just two months after their first location on Melrose debuted to long lines. Unlike the diner-style original, this outpost is just a simple walk-up window, but has the same menu of burgers, wings, and shakes." - cathy park

The Biggest Los Angeles Restaurant Openings in May 2025 | Eater LA

"Opened its second Los Angeles location on May 31 in Venice Beach by Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom (brother of Nipsey Hussle), selling crispy-edged smash burgers on the Venice Beach Boardwalk next to the pickup basketball courts and Muscle Beach in a space formerly occupied by the Window." - Mona Holmes

Nipsey Hussle’s Popular Marathon Burger Is Expanding to Venice Beach | Eater LA

"Set to debut on Saturday, May 31, 2025 on the Venice Beach Boardwalk next to the pickup basketball courts and Muscle Beach, this new outpost follows a warm reception for its Melrose shop after launching as a fall 2024 pop-up in Fairfax’s former Johnny Rockets space while interior construction was underway and opening for full service in March. Fans queue regularly to order wagyu smashburgers, chicken wings, and fries, with a steady stream of notable music- and sports-industry visitors including Young Thug, Boosie, and retired NFL player Marshawn Lynch. Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom (brother of the late rapper Nipsey Hussle) and his team moved quickly to transform the red-and-yellow exterior into the brand’s signature white with red and black accents for the weekend opening; Asghedom says, “When opportunities present themselves, you gotta kind of jump on it.” The Venice location will serve a pared-down menu of smash burgers, hot wings, and a vegan patty, and will debut a new double cheeseburger with grilled onions, lettuce, Fresno peppers, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and a proprietary sauce. Breakfast will run from 7 a.m. until noon and include French toast waffles, a breakfast sandwich, orange juice, and coffee; ice cream will be served daily. To help eliminate long wait times, this outpost omits the salads, mushroom burger, and milkshakes available at the Melrose shop; outdoor seating is available. Operating hours will be 7 a.m.–10 p.m., with late-night delivery from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. The space—once occupied by the Window and later by a cluster of Boardwalk restaurants after Mr. Charlie’s split—puts the restaurant at one of Southern California’s most famous tourist draws, increasing its chances of being embraced by locals and travelers during the high-volume, fast-paced summer season. Hussle launched the Marathon brand in 2010 and was active in opening businesses in Los Angeles until he was murdered in 2019; fans have long appreciated Hussle’s focus on economic independence for Black entrepreneurs — the Marathon brand is music, fashion, entertainment, and restaurants. Asghedom adds, “We have a location we’re eyeing, but I don’t know if it will be location four or five. We’re trying to figure out the best strategic location.”" - Mona Holmes

TOP NOTCH burger and wings. I can’t wait to see them expand to the east coast. It’s worth the flight out west everytime. The food is on point and the customer service is amazing. Nipsey would be happy!

This had to be like one of the most flavorful burgers I've had from an independent small business it was amazing it was fast and the fries were fresh and hot out of oil perfection. I would spend every dollar at this place over any fast food any day. Prices might seem a little steep before the food you get and the experience it's perfection

It was well worth the wait! We traveled from Las Vegas and had to come to support Marathon Burger and Nipsey Hussle's family legacy. 🏁 The mushroom veggie burger was so delicious! Quite possibly the BEST veggie burger I've ever eaten. The fries were well seasoned,and had the right amount of crispy and crunchy. They also pair perfectly with their signature sauce. The sauce was really good and compliments both the burger and the fries.

I came all the way from Hampton Virginia? Run me another one. One thing I know about this Marathon team is that they are very picky. Ain't no reason that Burgers should have had all those different flavors in it. That was insane🔥🔥🔥

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 glad it wasn't too busy when I went. Customer service was on point. It was first time trying it out so I had a lot of questions. The young lady taking my order was patient in explaining the difference between burgers. I didn't feel like she was irritated by me. They played an array of different music which I like. Walking back to the office with my food. I couldn't help but think that this food better be good. It did not disappoint. I got the OG special. Fries excellent. Burger fire full of flavor it practically melted in my mouth. My only complaint is the strawberry soda was flat. Next time I'll try the lemonade instead. I be needing that carbonation with my burger and fries. IYKYK. Definitely enjoyed the experience of it all. Glad it wasn't over hyped.

Marathon burger @ Venice beach is a dope location providing delicious food. I visited this location once and I prefer the melrose location just for the vibes. Long live the great. Shout out to the team ensuring Nipsey's legacy lives on . Everything on the menu is good. I've had the pound cake, strawberry shake, the burgers, the wings and the shrimp. Marathon Burger is LA's favorite burger spot fasho!

The wagyu burger was worth the price, gotta start with that, the burger was soft like cotton candy maybe I was just having a great day but seriously that burgers a must have every time I land in LA from now on. Service friendly and quick and we just strolled up Venice until The food was ready. Cool music playing over the speakers, a view cool painting of Nipsey was outside and everything respects the business you can just tell, go eat the food and try it out!

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!

Second time coming to marathon burger first time at this location. The food is made to order so be patient even if there is no line it could be about 15 to 20 minutes for food to come out. Also do yourself a favor double up and make it a combo.

I felt my burger had to many cheese and I wanted mine to have lettuce and tomato. I feel each sandwich has a specific thing they just take off. Kinda of confusing. Wings were good, they are party wings for sure. They were open late and i appreciate that. Thank you guys!

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. Marathon is worth a try, but Would I come back if I was in the area again? To be honest, NO. I would just avoid whole Venice beach food scene to be real.

Exceeded my expectations!!! 100/10 best smash burger. You can tell the food was made with love. Great customer service! Food took a little longer than I expected but it was worth the wait.

Went to marathon burger waited in line and as we were waiting in line we were watching the preparation of burgers. They had patties already pre cooked sitting to the side of the grill, seen the cook make a double cheeseburger by combining 1 whole patty then the second he broke in half and placed on top smashed it down then added cheese. Bro didn't even have no shame so we left lol Why cheat ppl with hamburger meat? It made us second the business practices here

The food was good but it was cold lol. Cold burger, fries, wings, and they forgot my onion rings. Waited over an hour for 2 combos but it's expected due to the hype. I had to leave and make it to an appointment otherwise I would have had the order remade. The drinks are OK. No complaints about this place, just be ready to wait, check your order, and kindly let them know if it's cold! The staff is friendly and accommodating but they are also swamped with orders and people coming up to them for adjustments. Problem solved! TMC!

I don't know what folks be talking about. Understand where you going at what time. Day or Night the customer service has been awesome and the wait was decent for how busy they were. Mind you, we're at the beach so I'm not tripping. The 2nd time, we got our food in 10mins. FRESH!. Vibe was chill as we ate. The new late night go to.

So my cousin came down from Louisiana wanted to see the beach and grab a burger it was late night 12 am the restaurant only takes online orders so we ordered four smash burgers came up 74 with tax I ask the cashier if she made a mistake because I thought we ordered combos but it was just the burgers but the cashier was polite and understanding so she gave us some fries and bottled waters and apologized for the misunderstanding, I'm so glad the customer service is top tier.

Giving 1 star for the wait mainly. Let folks know up front about the wait times for their food, to give them the option to stand around and wait an hour or not. Oh no, get the payment first and let them find out after the fact. An hour wait for burgers and fries is unheard of. I'm warning y'all..if you are reading this: you will wait an hour for your order. No, they won't give you a heads up because they want you to place the order. I went to Marathon Burger on Venice boardwalk this evening with my husband and daughter..I saw the grand opening on social media and decided to come support since we come to the beach often...we waited a shocking and confusing one hour for two combos and an extra fry. My kid and man waiting in the freaking evening beach cold. Had I known the wait was that long, I would have never ordered and I promise you that. Ordering was swift and easy, but the wait for food was shocking..and I wasn't the only one complaining and hangry...I'm surprised myself and the others all kept our composure! I understand they just opened this location and although I love supporting the culture..I ain't got that type of time nor patience for a dang burger and fry. Y'all have been warned. The food was good though..but theres too many burger joints in LA, with better prices, to be going through all that. I paid $50 including tax for two smash burger combos and an extra fry. The burgers were not gigantic, they were regular size. But we still got full. I just thought they would be a tad larger for the price..but you're really paying for the location and name. The cheese was melted to perfection and the seasoned fries with the garlic aoli dipping sauce were really good. I'd rate the food 4 stars out of 5, only because I feel the portions should be just a tad larger for price and wait. With all this said, we will not be back. I'm glad we got the curiosity out of the way so we know better now.

Staff were polite, food was very hot and delicious, and there wasn't a long wait. The staff were constantly cleaning the area. No complaints. Exceeded my expectations given the reviews.

Horrible customer service. Waited almost an hour for food just to be told they already said my name when I know they didn't. You got mfs stealing orders and the chick at the window doesn't confirm if that's your order. Wouldn't recommend this place. I just wanted to support the business, but I will never come back again.

Yelp
It's good, but they take forever every time! No matter how busy they are or arnt, if you work in the area and think you'll come for a quick bite, you will be late getting back.
