The burgers are really good, every ingredient blends perfectly, and the quality is 10/10. We were disappointed that they didn’t have the shoestring fries from the menu.

We drove to San Diego to celebrate my daughter’s birthday over the weekend. Our first stop of our planned series-of-restaurant visits was lunch at Swagyu Burger, Imperial Beach, as they are near our AirBnB. Luis was wonderful. It has been years since I experienced excellent customer service. He explained the menu well and served us with a portion of the fries, pork belly and shake. They were scrumptuous. The combo we ordered was so satistfying. We sure will be relaxing for the rest of the day as we won’t need to eat dinner. We are so full. Happy weekend!

pretty dang nice place, locals get a discount and that’s pretty cool, the food is pretty good and the fries are properly seasoned, a bit hot but that’s not an issue, there’s an good selection of stuff to eat and the service is 10/10, definitely recommend this place if you’re a tourist or just looking for a quick place to eat! it’s also cheap, a drink, burger and plenty of fries for 17-20$

Best burger I’ve had in months. Worth the hype. The staff extremely friendly and accommodating. I wish the location was on Seacoast. So I hope they survive where they are because 5 Guys is a joke compared to Swagyu.
Please support this spot.

Hidden Gem of San Diego Imperial Beach. Super Great Staff that Greet you when you arrive. Luis explained the menu in detail and the options on the Menu, very detailed in the description of the options. The Restaurant is Very Clean parking on the street and at the Storefront. Ok, let’s talk about the burger, fresh melting your mouth burger with a perfect mix and texture. The fries are unlike any other fries or potatoes. They knock it out the park. Luis was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. This is a Stop that you should make.

Delicious!! Must come to try these burgers! We’ve seen all the other outposts in Little Italy and more are popping up, so having one close that doesn’t have the tourist traffic is nice!
We stopped by 7pm on a Tuesday, fairly empty and plenty of parking. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered the Classic and Swagador burgers and sidewinder fries and two 1-liter Mexican Cokes.
Man, can I say the classic may be my current leader for a classic burger? It’s quite pricey but man I was so happy eating it! The Swagador has a lot of flavors going on so definitely keep that in mind. And the sidewinder fries, I didn’t know if I’ve ever seen that style before but they are like twisty wedges. Really crispy on the outside and nice and soft inside!
They were playing some good music in the background too, we’ll be coming here more to try the milkshakes!

I ordered delivery, the burger and their secret sauce was yummy! Freshly made<3 What I didn’t like was the packaging. Stapled brown yet my driver ripped the middle of the bag , looked liked to see what was in it or try to eat it. I only ordered 2 burgers and were boxed, Need to provide better carry out packing for delivery..

I made reservations at 5pm and we were seated soon after they found enough menus for our group. We thought the staff were friendly, but unprepared for reserved dining. They didn’t check in often enough and forgot items. I was half way through the meal before anyone was around for me to ask what happened to my drink. Thereafter, it took another 10 minutes before I got my old fashioned. It may be better for Swagyu to keep their dining casual because with reservations, you expect a certain level of service.
The food, sadly was not as tasty either. Half of our group complained that the meat on their burgers were overcooked. Their burger sauce, as my daughter described it, “was just existing.” It was bland and a little sweeter than what we remembered. We ordered a side of their French fries and they too, were disappointing. The fries were crispy, but lacked seasoning. A little salt would have gone a long way. Seriously Swagyu, what’s happened?!

Good food, and the regular cheeseburger is a good deal at $9. Onion rings were nice and crunchy. There is a nice discount for locals as well!

IB is fortunate to have great burger joints. However this is #1. Michelin rated Tanners in Oceanside and Swaygu I would say are the two of the best burgers I’ve had in over 25 years living in California. Try the Japanese A5 cheeseburger. Add some Waygu tallow fries…. And the tallow brownie shake.
