Company Overviews

About Hamlet

In 1950, Marylin, a dress designer, and Harry Lewis, an actor, opened the first Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Blvd; because of their commitment to quality, flavor and "simply marvelous food and drink," it became an immediate success. Hamlet quickly became a Hollywood landmark and was packed with celebrities every night of the week. Over the next 3 decades, 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 Hamlet.
