Marathon Burger

Super cute place on Melrose . Placed an order to go for lunch from here on 12/17/24. The lady that helped me was so kind and good vibes.I ordered hot wings and a strawberry Fanta. The best hot wings ever, the wings are delicious with a kick of spice, & the fries are perfectly seasoned . The team there is very nice.

This burger spot in what used to be NuMoo and before that a Johnny Rockets is unfortunately quite disappointing, with outdoor seating only it left a lot to be desired.The burgers were mediocre, there was an unknown flavor to the burger bun and while the fries were seasoned, they were cold and stale. On top of everything it took over 40 minutes to get the food. Maybe the OG location's better, but this feels like growing pains that should've been figured out before they opened a second location

Marathon Burger is a decent spot to grab a burger on Melrose. They moved into the space that used to be Nomoo. They utilize the outdoor patio for dining instead of the interior, so keep the weather in mind if you plan on eating onsite. The restaurant also provided music to help keep the vibe easygoing. The service was friendly and attentive. You can tell they're working hard to provide a good experience. I ordered the Marathon Burger combo meal, and the food came out pretty quickly. The burger is best described as an upscale version of a McDonald's cheeseburger despite including Fresno peppers and a secret sauce. It's undoubtedly better quality than the Golden Arches, but the combination of American cheese with ketchup and mustard brought me back to that distinct taste from my childhood. While the burger was pretty good, I didn't feel the same about the fries. They're shoestring-style, which is excellent, but some were soggy, and some were crisp. What threw me off about them was the seasoning. There was way too much, and it wasn't clear what taste they wanted. The next time I go, I'll see if they can just salt them and hope for a better experience. Overall, I had a decent meal. However, it wasn't worth the $20 price tag. In-N-Out and Shake Shack are better and cost less. And other local chains that are at a similar price provide a better quality meal. However, stop by Marathon if you're hanging out on Melrose and feeling a burger.

As you all must know already this is NIPSEY HUSSLE'S BROTHERS BURGER SPOT in reminence of NIPSEYS STORE -THE MARATHON STORE- in which they created a food spot similar to CRENSHAW VIBES! So if you ever ate in the hood you'd understand the concept! The branding! The reason why this place is on melrose! Which is to continue on with the good vibes NIPSEY left the world! I think the location was good because Melrose is a place for hip hop fashionistas and the marathon brand is all about hip hop culture! The food is tasty and I believe in the brand! Try them out!

Great location w/ awesome vibes. The entire staff were/are phenomenal workers making sure we enjoy our visit here. The cashier is always pleasant, and very attentive to your order requests. Always great customer service! Now let me get to my order of the 20 dollar Smash Burger combo. Them truffle fries fire! I highly Recommend slapping a few fries inside the burger; instantly get a rush of subtle flavor and deliciousness! The burger alone is a hit; just get wild with it sometime, respectfully. One of the best burger joints in town. Definitely worth a visit if/when you're in the area.Much love and respect

Good vibes and good service. Music is lovely and is perfect for an afternoon bite. Bring the family and enjoy

In honor of Nipsey, I hate I have to leave this review. There was only outdoor sitting in the cold, staff a bit unprofessional and organized, one burger took 45 mins to come out, it was decent but nothing crazy. Honestly not worth $24.

Super good burger spot on melrose. We ordered the marathon burger and the hot wings and they were both very good. The hot buffalo sauce was pretty spicy but very flavorful and the lemon pepper was an actual sauce which was pretty good! The wings were also the right amount of crispy. The burger was also very good, I loved the chopped Fresno chilis inside the burger. The service was also pretty quick and there was a good amount of seating outside.

Burger isn't good at all. Very low quality burger. The wings are very small and again not good quality. I would not recommend this burger at all. The ambiance is average. The service is low. Wait is long.

Really appreciated the great service. The two people working the counter were very nice and accommodating to any request.The burgers, fries, and wings were very fresh. We split an order of wings and I really enjoyed the lemon pepper wings. I had the Marathon Burger and I liked it. Everything was freshly made to order so be patient when you are ordering. The restaurant is still under construction so we ate outside. Look forward to them opening their seating.
