Review & FAQ:

Hinano Cafe, Venice is a funky, adult-only beachside sandwich, burger, and breakfast shack on Venice Beach. The restaurant has been serving burgers at the beach since 1969 and is famous for being a popular hangout of Jim Morrison. The restaurant is simple and unassuming, but that's the beauty of it. They have a wide selection of beers on the tap.

The restaurant additionally has three pool tables, a jukebox, TVs with college and NFL sports, and free popcorn. They feature live music with local bands on the weekends. Hinano Cafe serves several hamburger options, but the world-famous Hinano Cheeseburger is what lands them on this list. The burger is topped with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, onion, mustard, and lettuce with a choice of cheese and is served atop a fresh-baked sesame seed bun.
