In Short – Dominating the corner of an upscale mini-mall, this minimalist burger restaurant features pale-blue walls, Formica furniture and modern light fixtures. Burger selections are meticulously prepared to diners' tastes. They can be customized by weight, as well as with choice of cheese, sauce and buns. Typical toppings are offered, as are premium selections like sautéed mushrooms and artichoke hearts. The decision-making doesn't stop there; patties can be made with beef, turkey or veggies.

"THE RODFATHER" at Joni's Coffee Roaster a Must!

by Coffeenow

I have been a Counter fan for years however, I have recently discovered LA's NEW BEST BURGER at Joni's Coffee Roaster Cafe in Marina del Rey. It's called "THE RODFATHER BURGER"....A Whipped Horseradish burger on a warmed homemade pretzel bun. This is a must and the word is spreading fast.....

  • Pros: Good Burger
  • Cons: Too confusing, average buns

Long wait but worth it!

by AndreaL5

Be prepared to wait a while to get a table if you want to eat in. This place is so popular that it is always full even on off hours but its full for a reason. The burgers are great and I am not even a burger kind of gal. I got the veggie burger so packed with veggies you can see them and I can't not get the sweet potato fries there either!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
