Burger Lounge

Burger Lounge is a small chain, somewhat new in Los Angeles.
This one is located in Marina Del Rey.
Parking is free in the underground lot or on the street.
It is on a corner of a block long strip mall and is cute. The place outside is lovely.
You can at times dine outdoors, but there is plenty of seating inside in comfortable booths or at their counter.
It is super cute inside and really clean. The service is great.
This is why they have 4 stars from me, they really deserved 3, but I think they just need to pay more attention to what they are cooking.
The staff is very nice and helpful.
You order your food at the counter and they bring it to you when it is ready.
It comes looking nice and organized. Where they fail is in their burger department.
They are dry, too well done, and just sort of bland.
Now, they have great ingredients I know they could cook up a great burger.
The French fries were just so boring.
The onion rings were quite good and they have wonderful milk shacks.
They also have cool craft sodas on tap and I think they have beer.
Their pan fried cod sandwich is good, but needs a little something, it is just bland.
I know they can work on this because they have all the stuff you would want. Their pricing is very high for what you get.
I would not mind if the food was so great, again I think it could be.
It just needs a touch of something to make it super yummy. You will love the service and that is something that is already perfect there.

Don't be like me and order a double with avocado and bacon, with a side of 1/2 onion rings and 1/2 fries.
Also, don't add some of your onion rings to that burger creation.
Not only will you not be able to take a bite due to how tall it's become, but after consuming most if it, you'll hate yourself.
It's been hours since my last bite and I still hate myself.
The burger was fresh and delicious.
The meat to bun ratio was not in my favor.
I had issues with the beacon, it was undercooked and chewy.
The avocado wasn't my favorite either.
I'm pleased that they had vegan cheese and even vegan ranch for those intolerant folks.
Next time I'll start with a regular burger and build from there.

The best burger lounge of all the burger lounges is the one in marina del Rey.
I used to live that way and occasionally wish I still did when wanting a perfect cheeseburger.
Also the staff is beyond amazing.
They remember customers and went above and beyond for me when bad times fell my way.
This place was briefly my Cheers and would still be if I was closer. Stop in and treat yourself.
You won’t regret it.
