The Hamburger Hamlet has been a landmark on the Sunset Strip since 1950. This location was the first Hamburger Hamlet Restaurant in a chain opened by Ann Marilyn, a dress designer, and Harry Lewis, an actor. With a commitment to quality and flavor, their goal was to provide "simply marvelous food and drink." Over the next 3o years, Hamlet expanded throughout Southern California and Washington DC; to date, there is still nothing to rival the great food, casual comfort and superb service of a Hamburger Hamlet.
