Corner grill bliss! This street-side Wagyu burger joint blows In-N-Out out of the water. Juicy, perfectly seared patties with classic sauce and toasted buns—familiar style, wildly elevated flavor. No drive-thru needed when paradise is on the corner. Absolute must-try.

Seriously, if you live in Marina del Rey and haven't been to Frankin It Up yet, you're missing out on something special.

I've been a regular for a while now, and honestly, it's become a local favorite for me and my friends. The "Big Wag" burger is genuinely incredible – no wonder Jason Kelce loves it, it's ruined other burgers for me! And it's not just the burgers; their chicken sandwich is my wife’s favorite. It's the kind of place you're happy to have right in the neighborhood, run by great people.

What I love most is that it's a fantastic local business right here in MDR, and Jeff, the owner, truly cares about his food and customers. We absolutely need to support awesome spots like this!

I actually wonJeff's 10-person BBQ giveaway recently! We had the most amazing time. Jeff catered it, and of course, the burgers (even the veggie one) were a massive hit with everyone. He even included a delicious homemade cheesecake that was out of this world! It was such a generous and memorable experience, all thanks to Jeff.

If you're looking for amazing food and want to support a truly great local spot where the owner goes above and beyond, definitely check out Frankin It Up. You won't regret it. The food is top-notch, and Jeff is clearly passionate about what he does. Go try it – you’ll be so glad you did!

This burger is by far the best burger I’ve ever had is clean. The meat is excellent quality. The lettuce is phenomenal and the cheese is gourmet. There’s nothing cheap in this burger and it’s all worth every dollar. I cannot speak highly enough of this burger. I would go 100 miles in a second across Los Angeles just to have this burger. Could you not?

Not only that it’s situated and beautiful Marina del Rey, which is known to be the secret of Los Angeles. I had a very simple double patty smash burger with a gluten-free bun, which was excellent. I can only imagine how good it would be with a regular bun. There’s a nice little table to sit at beautiful ambiance and quiet. Dang I’m only done 3/4 of this burger and I want another one. Correction, I will drive all the way from Las Vegas to get one of these.

I went to this location, a second time and it was absolutely phenomenal again. This time I had some potatoes with my burger and both were absolutely amazing.. usually when I go for the second time, sometimes it’s not as good but this place is definitely there to impress. If you haven’t tried this out, you really need to. It is Los Angeles’s best kept secret.

And this time when it got dark, I had a little bit of light at the table which just added to the already timeless atmosphere. And every time I go there, I meet somebody new who is just as awesome.

We live just down the street and decided after many walks by to finally give Frankin It Up a try. Wish we had done it sooner! The burger was GREAT, far exceeded my expectations and hands down the best burger in this area. Was thrilled to learn that Jeff, the friendly and kind owner, serves up more than just burgers with a rotating menu every week. A local staple and favorite – go support and try his food!! The perfect spot if you live in the neighborhood or just looking for a good casual bite during a beach day.

Been here a few times now.
For street food? What the hell. WOW.
Let's get into it.

Ok do you like dogs and burgers?
Look no further.
The chef has such a great attitude. Lively, happy outgoing and professional.
Then when you see that? His food comes from the soul.
I've had a few things here. But what makes this food cart special is the menu changes. Other than the dogs and burgers.
But he's always got specials, such as.
Pork belly Mac n cheese like what!? Sign me up.
Pastas and more!

The hot dogs.
Fresh, cooked to the perfect temperature.
Get all your fixings. Peppers, onions, mustard, relish, ketchup, hot Cheeto dust, cheese? Oh yeah! You can load it up if you want to and it's quite the experience.

Burgers.
Ok I'm not kidding when I say this.
I don't really like smash burgers. It makes them loose the flavor usually. HOWEVER this time!? That is NOT the case. I'm not sure how he does it but I'll always come back for this burger. The BREAD omg the bread as well! SO good.
Seasoned VERY well. Veggies, lettuce and pickles all fresh.

So would I recommend this spot? Hell yeah.
You will NOT be disappointed. This is a hidden gem of LA.
He's fairly new to the social media game so support this great food! Hope you all enjoy.
