-- Hamburger Hamlet

6914 Hollywood Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90028
323-467-6106

Known as “the original coffee shop to the stars,” this American-style chain has been serving their signature gourmet hamburgers to celebrities and the community for over 50 years. The original Hamlet opened in 1950 on Sunset Boulevard and was a favored hotspot for famous actors, hence the slogan. Now more than a dozen Hamlets are located across Los Angeles including this one on Hollywood.

Cozy leather booths outline the restaurant floor and stylish chandeliers hang from the ceiling, giving this pleasant eatery a nice blend of formal and casual dining. Add in a friendly staff and huge windows to people watch across the street at Grauman’s, and you’ve got a gourmet recipe for a lovely meal.

With a classic menu of hamburgers, sandwiches and soup, people love to come here when they want to relax and enjoy a tasty, familiar meal. Customer favorites include “The Marilyn” (after Monroe) burger and owner Marilyn Lewis’ famous lobster bisque.
