The burger stand's no-frills attitude extends to its menu, which boasts just a handful of selections to choose from. The burgers include a cheeseburger, a double cheeseburger, and the "Beauty Burger" for the vegetarians (a burger made with an Impossible patty.)

Besides burgers, the Window also offers a fried chicken sandwich, a bowl, a salad, and French fries. For dessert, you can indulge in a classic milkshake (vanilla, chocolate s'mores, or strawberry flavored) or a dipped cone (salted caramel, peanut buddy, and mint cookies and cream.)

Best of all, the Window is cheap! A cheeseburger is less than $4 and the chicken sandwich is less than $6. The prices are almost hard to believe in an area like Venice that is notably expensive.

Although there is no indoor seating at the Window, you can always grab a stool in the adjoined seating area. Or, you can walk down to the beach and watch the waves as you bite into one of Southern California's best burgers. Visit the Window's website to learn more.
