  Bottom Line: amazing food, amazing customer service, 5 stars.
  I was only in California for one night.
  I had dinner at Simmzy's and had a really bad experience. The next morning I went out for a run and stopped here for a chorizo breakfast burrito... BOMB!!! It was served quickly and with a smile. I felt genuinely appreciated. A few hours later my friends and I had brunch at Mercedes Bar and Grill...  just as bad as Simmzy. I actually had to come straight back to Thomas Hamburger after that to satisfy my stomach. This is hands down the only place to eat on Venice Beach. All others will disappoint.
  Go check out my 1 Star reviews for Simmzy's and Mercedes.

  I have never left a yelp review in my twenty years on this planet and I hopefully never will again, but it is my personal duty to warn people of this garbage resturant and the middle-aged mustachio'd miscreant behind the counter. I walk into this establishment and ask the man behind the counter if I can use their restroom as my bladder is on the verge of bursting and I'm inches away from creating the golden Mississippi River across their sticky tiled floor. He looks at me with the Kristin-Stewart-esque blank stare and says nothing, forcing me to repeat the question.
  "I really need to use your bathroom. Do I need a key?"
  "No. Buy somethin"
  I looked up "customer service" in Wikipedia and was appalled to not see this man's face ANYWHERE on the page. I shovel ten dollars across the counter and ask for a basic hamburger and then ask for the bathroom key, but alas he informs me that there is already a line after I paid him for food. Impeccable timing with that information.
  For the next twenty minutes me and two other sink-seeking men wait outside of the single bathroom in the establishment, debating whether or not to kick down the door and take matters into our own hands. My food has come and lies sitting in front of me, but the sheer pain of urine begging to be released from my balls has me hunched over and paralyzed in the greasy stool closest to the lavatory. During my twenty minute wait period the man behind the counter would periodically walk in our direction, look at the bathroom, then shrug at us before returning to the counter to wait for customers to enter.
  What else is the man behind the counter supposed to do though, he can't force this patron out of the bathroom mid-dookey? This is just something that is totally out of his control...... if he wasn't holding on to the key THE ENTIRE GODDAMN TIME.
  One of the guys waiting to use the bathroom before me looked behind the counter and saw a key hanging on a hook, and asked the employee if that was the bathroom key.
  "Whoops." That is all that this braindead, cash counting cretin could muster up after making three of his customers wait twenty minutes to wash their hands and surely contributing to my first future kidney stone.
  "Whoops." That was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life, and if I could go back in time I would've sprayed my homemade lemonade all over that pathetic beach-side burger joint for the mental torture that buffoon caused me. After repeatedly checking in on us and shrugging his shoulders that complete imbecile didn't have the four brain cells required to even consider double checking the bathroom key hook inches away from him for the bathroom key. After my twenty minutes and god knows how long the other two customers waited, we received no apologies, no admittance of guilt, no signs of empathy. Just a "Whoops."
  After a three minute long urination that sent shivers of euphoira down my spine, I checked this nit-witted neanderthals stained shirt for a nametag but couldn't spot one and I had no desire to spend any more time in the establishment for fear of contracting any part of the brain-munching maggot farm inside the cashier's dense skull. He was middle aged, had a black handlebar mustache, thick-ish glasses, and a face that has been devoid of emotion and complex thought for decades, and if the owner of this restaurant somehow stumbles upon this review I beg you to fire this disgrace of a human being.
  
  The burger was bland, forgettable, and disturbingly moist. fries were alright.

  Quick and fast the food here was reasonable and not too expensive. It's also right across the street from
  Venice beach. I ate my burger on the beach and my oh my the tastebud went crazy 10/10!
