Jeffs’ Beach Burgers

Holy cow what a burger. The burger was delicious! I ordered the double double with fries and a chocolate smoothie. Everything was so good! This is another place I will come back to! If you blink you’ll miss it, it’s in the corner of a busy street with other shops and restaurants.

So full transparency, I took a bite of the burger before I took a picture because it looks so good and I couldn’t wait. But I took a break from eating my food so I can write a review about this place. The burger is absolutely amazing. I got their 1/4 pound cheeseburger with everything on it plus I added Gyro meat. The very sweet lady who took my order I also believe is the owner of the location recommended the onion rings and I’m glad I got them by far. One of the best onion rings I’ve ever had everything taste fresh and unfrozen. I highly recommend

Jeff’s Burgers in La Jolla is a must-visit! The cozy atmosphere pairs perfectly with stunning coastline, but the real star is the burgers—juicy, flavorful, and expertly crafted, whether you opt for a classic cheeseburger or one of their specialties. Marina’s exceptional management truly sets this spot apart. Her attention to detail and genuine care for customers elevate the entire experience. For incredible food and outstanding service, Jeff’s Burgers is a local gem you won’t want to miss!

Some of the best burgers in San Diego. The front cashier could be a bit nicer ~ happier. She looked like she was not happy to be there and kept giving us a judgy look. Aside from that, the burgers were amazing.

Always a fun ambiance and love the 1/4 pound burger. The meat is fresh and juicy and the Lettuce, cheese tomato, lettuce and onions all deliver a great burger experience. Also their Onion Rings are spectacular. The Fry’s appear to be fresh and have great flavor ! They also lovingly pack up your order in a nice box to help keep it fresh during its journey back to the beach!

Very tasty food. Crispy onion rings. Hits the spot. Repeat customer on our 3 day trip to La Jolla. Marina is running a great show and provides amazing customer service. Thank you for everything!

Had great cheeseburgers here! Was an excellent quick stop on our La Jolla trip. The beef had a great flavor, and an excellent soft bun with good quality toppings. The fries were also good. Had a mocha shake that was pretty good as well. The burgers were the best though. The burger patty was a little small for the bun size though but not that big of a deal. Our daughter loves the chicken nuggets.

5 stars Jeff’s Burgers is hands down the best burger spot in town! The patties are juicy, the flavors are spot on, and the staff is always friendly. Make sure to ask for their special sauce—it takes the burger to the next level. I love that you can also get your burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun if you're looking for a lighter option. Always a great experience. Highly recommend!

I came with a friend and the food is amazing! Their burgers are sooo good! The service is quick and the staff is all very friendly, the ambiance is definitely an aesthetic very fitting to La Jolla! I would %100 recommend this place to a friend! If you stop by Jeff's burgers be sure to get a chocolate milk shake!

The food was so good!!! We had the 1/4 LB cheeseburgers and they were so delicious. The place is nice and clean. Best of all was the service, Susan took our order and was so nice to us. Thank you Susan! I came back later to get a strawberry shake, which btw was delicious . I definitely recommend ordering one

This place is so cute and perfect after a little time at the shores. It's a small beachside kind of place a few tables inside and on the street patio. Our service wa service was great which is hard to find these days especially at a small counter order kind of place. They were out of wine and they were so good about communication and trying to make it right. The food comes in generous portions and all tastes fresh. The pieces were so reasonable, which we were thankful for sometimes places near the beach have tourist food and tourist prices. We had the chicken wrap, curly fries, regular fries, and two cheese burgers as well as some kid food. Everyone enjoyed their food.

I visit La Jolla often, and this is my first time stopping by Jeff's. We ordered gyros, curly fries, and a kid's burger. When my husband went to pick it up and the host said, "you're all set!". My husband had to remind him that we hadn't paid yet. The gyros were delicious but a little more well done (crispy meat) that I would have liked. The burger had wayyy too much ketchup on it. The curly fries were delicious. I would definitely go back and try more now that I know how to order things.

Burger was great! Fries were not as great but still pretty good! Took about 10 minutes to make, not too bad. It was decently clean and utensils were easy to find. We had a little McDonald's moment though... this is exactly how the conversation went: Me: Could I also do a Vanilla shake? Cashier: We're out of Vanilla Me: Okay! I'll do Chocolate! Cashier: Yeah, we're out of Chocolate too. Me: Oh... well then Strawberry works fine for me! Cashier: The machine isn't working... Ok... why didn't they say that from the start? Sounds lazy to me. Like they thought I'd stop asking after being told they were out of two flavors. So weird. Definitely wanted the classic burger, shake, and fries meal! Everything else was good! Cool spot!

After a long day of walking I stumbled upon Jeff's burgers , I was aesthetically pleased by their pink menus and tables the ambiance is very girly pop, if you know what I mean . I was expecting some basic burgers . I was super surprised by their sauce and their very tasty burger , I ordered the basic cheeseburger with bacon , I think the sauce it came with was thousand island , it was very creamy and savory. I also ordered the curly fries which were so crunchy . Their lemonade is what put it over the top for me as it was refreshing and sweet. The service was good and okay . Overall the meal was quick and efficient , it was filling . The price for the meal was 23 dollars which isn't too bad considering San Diego prices. I would definitely recommend and come back if I was in the area.

Jeff's beach burgers was a cute spot and food was decent and standard but nothing special enough that would make it worth the wait. I waited 45 minutes for a burger and fries. I would skip this spot in the future.

Such a cute burger spot right by La Jolla Shores beach. I mean there's a pink truck right outside and the patio dining area has pink picnic tables. The place is very casual, where you order at the counter and help yourself to utensils and condiments. It has an old fashion vibe, with milkshakes, burgers, hot dogs, and gyros. The food itself was quite tasty. The burgers tasted like fresh beef, and the onion rings were crunchy and delicious. A great spot for before or after the beach.

Great lunch spot to grab a burger and fries! The service is a little bit slow, but definitely worth the wait. There are some cute pink outdoor tables and a small sitting area on the inside.

So good, the staff took the time to ask for our names, and they were very busy but got our food to us at a reasonable time. I spent a lot of time looking at the bacon listed in the "sides" section of the menu. It would make more sense to list it as an "add on". Food was great, burgers really hit the spot after spending time on the beach and kayaking. The seating was limited in relation to the amount of customers they're serving. Outside was a good spot for socializing if you snag a table.

Omg I never say this but it's probably better than in n out. Literally those burgers was so juicy ughhhh!!!!! I want one right now so bad LOL The brioche bun complimented everything so so soooo well, well seasoned patty, & the grilled onions are a must. Definitely get them. We got onion rings & fries extra crispy and they were so perfect. That ranch was insane omg too good. I wanted to mix the strawberry, chocolate, & vanilla but they ran out of strawberry :'( but still fire Service was quick, bunch of seating, definitely get served fast. Liquor store and pizza place right next door as well. A nice 8 minute walk to the beach. They play those remixed forever 21 type of songs all day but it's fine lol Definitely a must try

I stumbled upon this place and couldn't have been happier. I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings and it did not disappoint. I love the feel of this place, very beach-y, laid back, and honestly a hole in the wall. The restaurant is super close to the beach, and it's a really nice place to grab food and take a break from the sun! Everyone that works here is super friendly and kind. My ONLY comment to make is that there is not really alot of seating, they have a small patio outside - but most of it is in the sun. I got lucky with a table, but be prepared to grab and go or head back to the beach! Would HIGHLY recommend, so grateful to have stumbled across this!!

These folks are the full package! Fast amazingly kind and memorable service paired with the best burgers! They've got a wonderful little seating area inside and out with good tunes playing all day. A perfect stop after a long day in the surf or just roaming around town. Highly recommend! Veggie burgers available too for the vegetarians out there.:)

My wife and I tried Jeff's for the first time and this is by far our new favorite burger spot. The service is awesome, great location and ambiance next to the beach, burgers taste amazing and you HAVE to try the onion rings!! Finish it off with a shake! This will be our new go to when it comes to burgers. Marina helped us out and she was great, give that lady a raise!!

Simply the best cheeseburger I have found in San Diego. Small location, overflowing with great food, friendly service, and a positive vibe. I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon and jalapeños, my friends got the jefé burger with jalapeños. Fries were excellent, and the chocolate shakes were made to order Right by the ocean and well worth your time to try them.

Cute burger spot. Love the color theme. Great staffs, friendly. Burgers and fries were good. I love their bubblegum milkshake. Will def come back.

service: 6/5. for a fast casual spot in a touristy area, I was impressed with how warm and personable the service was. cheeseburger: 4/5. All the ingredients tasted great, and I appreciate how generous the amount of toppings there were. unfortunately the burger was so packed that the bun fell apart. even with the wrapper, it was a tasty though messy experience. french fries: 5/5. these are what beach fries are supposed to taste like. crispy on the outside, soft peanut oily (?) yum on the inside. couldn't finish everything, was given a generous amount. there is limited seating inside, with some seating extending to the outside in front of the restaurant. condiments are on the left inside.

Beachside Bliss with the Best Veggie Burger! If you're looking for a slice of burger paradise right next to La Jolla Beach, this place is an absolute gem! My friends and I stumbled upon it and were in for a treat. The location is perfect for a beach picnic--grab your burger, fries, and a drink, and you're set for a perfect day by the ocean. I opted for the veggie burger, and let me tell you, it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Grilled to perfection, the right amount of veggies, and the sauce content were spot-on. When it arrived, it was sizzling hot and absolutely perfect. The fries were equally delightful--crispy and flavorful. The combination of the burger and fries made for a heavenly meal. The restaurant itself is charming, adorned with pastel pink tones and boho vibes. It's a small place with just two tables inside, but the real charm is in their front patio, perfect for soaking in the beachy atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the service--top-notch! The staff, especially the cashier, was the friendliest and most patient. My friends and I were a bit indecisive, but they guided us through the menu with a smile. I can't recommend this place enough for a quick and delicious bite near La Jolla Beach. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this burger joint is a must-try for beachgoers and food enthusiasts alike. Five stars all the way!

This was a really good burger, they had a good amount of seating for the space that they had. The service was great as well. It would've been 5 stars if they had more of a classic French fry and the burger didn't get soggy as fast.

I popped in Jeff's for a meal after running a grueling 14 miles. I really enjoyed the cheeseburger and the curly fries! I will definitely be back because the food and ambience are hard to beat!

One of the best burgers indeed Great staff, location and atmosphere. Would gladly recommend and be back again and again.

Went here for this first time with a friend who was visiting from the Bay. Burger was amazing and really juicy, and the area was beautiful as well. Right by the beach, chill vibes!

According to my kids, the burgers are amazing. I have to agree. Simple burgers, but very flavorful. My only "complaint" was that the fries were not salted out of the fryer. Good crisp, but slightly bland. Onion rings were on point, served with ranch and their house spread. Vanilla malted shake at the end to top it all off. Jeff's beach burgers just earned our continuing business! Very friendly staff to boot!

Amazing burgers, great service and the long line went super fast! Cool beach vibe, and the burgers were better than in n out - believe it or not!!!!

First time coming here and it did not disappoint! Food was amazing, customer service was terrific, and the cutest decor! I loved the outdoor patio with all the pink umbrellas. I definitely will be back, by far my new favorite burger in San Diego!

When the original Jeff's Burgers closed years ago, I was SO UPSET. I had the best memories of beach days (and skipping the occasional class) and stopping by Jeff's for a burger back in my younger years. The burgers there were some of the very best I've ever had. My fiancé had never been, and I'd told him all about how delicious it used to be, and how badly I wished it had never closed. So, when I found out Jeff's Burgers was back and at the same spot, I knew immediately that I had to go and try it out. I am not sure if this was re-opened by the previous owners, but when I tell you it tastes EXACTLY THE SAME, I mean it. I'm talking immediate nostalgia - my eyes literally rolled back in my skull. I was kicking my feet around under the table. I ordered the 1/4lb cheeseburger and a side of onion rings, and my fiancé got the El Jefe (double cheeseburger) with curly fries. Everything was beyond delicious; juice from the burger was dripping right out of the wrapper, the fries and onion rings were perfectly crunchy and piping hot. The people working the counter are so incredibly nice, and offered us sides of ranch and secret sauce. There are also free refills of sodas. There aren't many tables, but there are enough inside and outside to find somewhere to sit. Parking can of course be hard to find, but that's La Jolla shores for you. I am so happy Jeff's Burgers is back in La Jolla, and I hope this time they stay around forever!

Sad update! They do NOT have a dedicated fryer to keep their fries gluten free! I have been told this several times on different visits. But this visit the kitchen manager said that they do NOT have a dedicated fryer and that they would make sure the staff knows. This is disappointing because they DO have two separate fryers- seems like something they could do! Three stars because my family loves the fries, onion rings, veggie burgers, and kids chicken nuggets (my peanut, treenut and sesame allergic little one eats them without issue).

I first heard about this spot on Instagram so I had to check it out. The aesthetic is cute and it's in the heart of La Jolla. Parking can be tricky but to be expected for the area. I was torn between a hot dog and a burger and opted for the hot dog. It did not disappoint. Their vanilla shake is good too. Selfish is friendly and I'd go back

yum! what a cute restaurant! Of course, on our girls trip we had to stop at the pink burger shack! Burger was a classic, fries were nice and crunchy, milkshakes were perfect. I will say- you definitely can split fries with someone!

As you approach this spot, you're instantly greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly grilled burgers and the salty ocean breeze. The ambiance of Jeff's Beach Burgers is clean and welcoming, with decor that perfectly accents their "beach burger" aesthetic. Their half-pound cheeseburgers are perfectly accompanied by their incredible onion rings. This is comfortably one of the best burgers and onion rings combos that I've ever had. The service at Jeff's Beach Burgers is warm, friendly, and attentive. Although the wait times can sometimes be long, there are worse places to be stuck waiting for a burger. Once I received my order, I grabbed my burger in the box, took it down to La Jolla Shores just a few minutes walk down the road, and watched the sun set. Unmatched experience. Highly recommend Jeff's Beach Burgers!

Wow!! Great customer service. Great food. Clean and BUSY!! People come in and out we had the opportunity to meet Marina, the GM and she was so welcoming. A perfect first time experience! We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!!

Located just walking distance from La Jolla Shores Beach. This small hole-in-the-wall burger joint serves up a nice juice burger. Lots of foot traffic passes by this food venue. Prices are reasonable. Indoor seating is limited but if you prefer to soak up the sun outdoor seating is prime. There are no bathrooms for customers which would be the only downside.

Food was amazing. Burgers were juicy and the onion rings were great. Not only was the food good, but Marina (I believe she is the general manager) was so funny and so accomodating. I will come back just to visit her if anything but make sure you try the food.

Good burgers & a simple menu, which I appreciate! The fries and onion rings are also really good. You can box it up to go and enjoy it on the beach (it's walking distance). Would come back!

Craving for a nice burger was satisfied at this place. We got a cheese burger a hamburger fries and onion rings and a vanilla shake. The shake was phenomenal and the fries are hand out perfection. The onion rings were super crispy. We originally got a lemonade but it had a foul taste to it almost like it's gone bad. We decided to switch it out for a coke at their drink station. We also DIYed our own float with the vanilla shake and coke lol. Other than the lemonade the staff was quick and friendly and the food was delicious.

I am definitely coming back here. I was at La Jolla Shores and it was right across the street. It looked really good because there was a line out the door. I love the aesthetic and it was super clean inside. The bubblegum shake was so good and super creamy. The el jefe burger was so big that I couldn't fit it all in my mouth. I loved the onion rings with the ranch. The hot dog and fries that my friend got looked really good. The workers are super efficient and constantly cleaning. Isabel took my order and she was the sweetest. She filled my milkshake up all the way and multitasked getting orders while doing the drinks (I was very impressed). I would highly recommend coming here for a delicious treat. The servings are really big and the food is tasty.

Great little burger spot! Good prices. Outdoor seating. Street parking. Crispy fries. Friendly staff. Tasty burger with special sauce and grilled onions.

Yes yes yes yes yes. Stop what you're doing right now and go to Jeff's Beach Burgers!!! Such a cute find with the most delicious burgers with reasonable prices! The service was fantastic as well. The owner (I believe) was so kind and checked in on us after getting us our food and was making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. I got onion rings, fries, and a cheeseburger and it was one of the best I've had in SD. Will definitely come back and get a shake next time as well! Bring your friends and fam and come enjoy this awesome gem.

All the tables and decor were baby pink and that alone would've gotten five stars out of me. Not really ideal for larger groups when you get there during peak hours, but luckily didn't run into that problem. One order of fries was large enough for about two people. The sauce they use was really good and love the touch of jalapeños. I typically order burgers elsewhere lettuce wrapped and though glad they had that option here, it was incredibly messy. We forgot to order onion rings and curly fries, but those looked really good and will have to remember to order next time!

Best burger I have ever had hands down. I am normally not a huge fan of burgers, but this place completely changed my mind! The service is outstanding. The woman at the register (im pretty sure she is the owner) was so kind and genuinely made my day. The ambiance is so cute as well and the vibe is super fun! The prices are also super reasonable for the portion sizes and how amazing the burgers taste! I ordered a 1/4 lb cheeseburger and curly fries and they were both incredible. The ingredients were all fresh and I love the spice from the jalapeños! Overall this is genuinely the best burger restaurant I have ever been to and definitely worth it to stop at if you are in the area!

I recently partook of an El Jefe Burger and was thoroughly impressed. The burger itself was exceedingly succulent and mouth-watering. Moreover, the side of onion rings that I ordered complemented the burger perfectly, culminating in a truly satisfying meal.

Food- 1/2 lb El Jefe burger w/ 1 slice cheese ( normally 2) and curly seasoned fries. Brioche bun is so good. Burger was medium ( no request- it came that way) It's a well seasoned beef patty.it's s really good burger. Subtle special sauce. I would ask for more next time. Drink- Bubble gum shake- tastes like vanilla w/ real bubble gum added on top. Comes with a straw that feels solid! Like bamboo or something. Sorta cool! Curly fries- good seasoning. Very good. Overall I would come back and order extra special sauce on the burger. The

It's the prettiest burger shop I have been to! Jeff's Beach Burgers is affordable and delicious--a two-minute walk to the beach. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick!

That burger drips with goodness down my arm as I bite into it. What a great place to eat and that strawberry shake...omg!!! Marianna is a charming, tough woman kind front that captured my heart. I wish I had pictures oh my bacon jalapeño burger but it was gone too fast. Go to this charming place when you're in La Jolla.

This is definitely a girls lunch day burger joint! Here for all the pink with my friend. So filling. The cooks and cashiers were friendly. You can even get a little walk in at La Jolla shores to walk off that burger. The pink truck is adorable. Opt for the curly fries. I got those and my friend and I compared. It's La Jolla so eating outside is nice

Always the best service and delicious food!! They also have the best strawberry milkshake ever!! Their fries are always fresh and the food comes out quick even when their really busy!

( FAKE REVIEWS)I live around here and walk around and let me tell you This place is pathetic they seem to have new people every time and the food is mid the open kitchen just makes it worse go to in n out way cheaper more professional staff the only good people working there is the old lady cook with the short hair grilling her ass off and the latino griller from what I see only been open 2 years I think ? Won't be surprised if they shut down also I recommend stoping by when NO ONE is around they'll actually make it a little more decent since your the only customer at the time

BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD!! i don't even like meat but tried my boyfriends and i made him go order one. Owner told me if it's not the best burger we've had we get a refund, it was so good we both ordered another!! fries are to die for and perfect service!!!!!! MUST GO!

employees are so nice!! food is so good and cute location. the shakes are yum and it's right by the beach.

Delicious burgers by the shore. We got the cheeseburgers and they were A+. The curly fries have a nice Cajun-y seasoning to them. Look forward to paying another visit when we're back in La Jolla. Hopefully the cookies aren't sold out next time
