How I heard of this place: We walked by, saw a sign for strawberry shakes, and had to stop.Type of cuisine: An old-school diner style walk-up window directly on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, serving shakes, but perhaps also fast food.Ambiance: Old. We didn't get a good view of the interior, but the outside could sure use an upgrade - paint, font, windows, seating. What I ordered: Two strawberry ice cream shakes with whipped cream.What I loved: An easy stop, no long lines, but extremely slow nonetheless.Why I loved it: The kids were happy to enjoy their thick ice cream shakes.Cost: High ($8 per shake)

Skip in-n-out. Some of the best burgers in Los Angeles. Very reasonable prices as well.

Win-dow is definitely one of our favorite burger spots in west LA. It's located on the Venice Boardwalk so perfect to grab to go and enjoy on a nice day. We usually order ours online on the way there so it's ready for pickup by the time we get there. The double burger is always perfectly made with the perfect amount of greasiness when you're craving a smash burger. Their kale salad is also amazing with their tangy dressing and goes perfectly with the burger so you can some veggies with your meal. I've heard that their shakes are delicious as well but I have yet to try and will be sure to grab one on our next outing.

After hearing such great things about this spot I was excited to try! Very surprised and disappointed at how my burger came out. Looks like half is missing! Flavors were good, but meat to bread ratio ruined the experience.

I've been to the Win-Dow in Silverlake and I really like their burgers. Since I was in the area, I wanted to try the Venice location. I usually get the double cheeseburger and a side of fries. Maybe because I went during a busy time, but my burger wasn't as full as the ones I normally get. However, it still was pretty good and I got my order within 10 minutes. Since it was sunset hours, my friend and I were able to enjoy our meal on the sand watching the sunset. The fries were pretty fresh and enough to feed my friend and I. I also got a lemonade and I thought it was a bit too sour. But overall, I still really like the Win-Dow, but I might stick to the location in Silverlake. Since this location is by the beach, parking is nearly impossible, unless you want to spend about $15. I parked down the street about 7 minutes away, which is fine but it can be pretty inconvenient at night. Besides that, the staff is very friendly and gets orders out quickly.

Very cozy place to have a small fast family lunch. I love the beauty burger as I am vegetarian. My kids love the double cheeseburger with fries. Especially after playing on the beach they need to refill energy with good food. They can't leave the place without desert, chocolate s'mores, Nom nom nom.Let me also say thank you to all staff, that are keeping this place so clean and welcoming. Working very fast. Never had to wait long. Always smiling and remembering me and my kids.I think their prices are affordable and the food is clean, fresh and tasty. I definitely recommend to try their food.

Great burger , superior French fries!!! The Win-Dow is a Win-ner!!! You can work it off on muscle beach and circle back around for seconds!!

LOVE this place. Delicious, high quality, and affordable. Who thought you could have all three these days?? I've been a fan ever since they were at American beauty. It was my Covid go to. The burgers are among the best in the city and with a double being UNDER $7. The chicken sandwich is delicious. Not sure what else to say, it's just a real gem. Would love to see one near my area in central LA

Great burger that doesn't cost you more than $5! They have this amazing Kale Caesar salad, sooo delicious! And this place delivers!

Wednesday: The sun was shining bright, it was a gorgeous day & I was craving a veggie burger & fries; I walked up the Venice Boardwalk to The Win-Dow & ordered at the window! Yum! Beauty Burger ($8.25): Cutest name for a Veggie Burger (Impossible Burger) & it's mouthwatering yummy! Every single bite is incredible, especially the taste of the grilled onions! There's a long stick sticking out of the burger to show that it's veggie!Fries ($3.95): There is something special that they put on those fries that keeps you eating them nonstop! They are so delicious!Discovered: My neighbors first told me about The Win-Dow when the restaurant first arrived onto the oceanfront & I've been addicted ever since! There is usually a line as it's a popular place! I walked back home, dropped off a bag from another place & sat on the sand & had lunch!Overall: Grateful to have such a yummy place nearby! It's a neighborhood favorite & customer service is always friendly! Plus, it's right on the oceanfront; you can take a walk on the beach, as well as The Venice Boardwalk! Perfect!
Ordered a double cheeseburger ?With fries and a lemonade!Make sure to ask for an extra cup of water for the lemonade, it was too sweet for my liking.Some people don’t mind the sweetness. Just my recommendation.Will be coming back!Order was ready under 10minLadies who attended me were super sweet and approachable!Thank you!Thank you!

The rundown...good and soft smash burger kind of like shake shack's. The fries are crispy, but a little over done for my taste. Still good regardless. The lemonade is very good... Really refreshing but without being too sweet.Got that all for about ~$12 so it's a good deal in my opinion

Such a great burger spot!! Affordable, and very tasty- especially the burgers!! If you want to eat from a place on the strip that won’t leave you with explosive diarrhea, The Window is your spot!!

Parking as always is a little hard but the public parking spaces on Venice Blvd & pacific avenue are your best bet, then simply take a walk following the lovely smell. You gotta come here and do it right, get the burger, fries and never miss adding a shake, it's the only way to do it! The wait tends to be around 10 minutes minimum (if it's really chilly and a Wednesday) but on a sunny Saturday be prepared to wait at least half an hour. Take in the ocean breeze and munch down on this beauty while the sunset sets over the ocean.
