Swagyu Burger East Village

Stopped in before attending the Brewers vs Padres game. This smash burger was put together perfectly. Outside edges were crisp and really seasoned to perfection. I wish they had a better selection of local beer. Service was outstanding and definitely worth it!

I had an incredible lunch at Swagyu Burger East Village and I can't recommend it enough. This spot truly delivers on flavor and presentation. I opted for the El Swagador Burger, and it was exceptional. The flavor profile was rich and satisfying, and I was equally impressed with the presentation—it looked as good as it tasted. The real show-stopper, though, were the sweet potato waffle fries. They were perfectly cooked and had a fantastic texture. They paired beautifully with the house BBQ sauce, creating a sweet and savory combination that was highly addictive. Seriously, if you go, do not skip these! Beyond the exceptional food, the service was truly splendid. We were a large group of over 16 people, and the staff handled our table with incredible grace, going out of their way to take care of us. It was a five-star experience from the kitchen to the customer service. From the great food to the visual appeal of the dishes, Swagyu Burger is a must-try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Been meaning to try one of these joints for a while.But a couple of them closed, I guess they changed ownership.The previous owner had overexpanded. The menu is pretty pricey, but the burgers and onion rings were absolutely delicious. I don't know how smashed burgers can taste so good because smashing it causes the juices to go out and generally makes it drier but the patties were excellent. They also have a discount for locals.I think it's ten percent.

Living In east village and close to downtown my wife and I find ourselves eating out more often then usual and going out for the nite life and what’s the best cure for a hangover? One a michelada and second a good greasy hamburger,so we’re excited when we saw swagu A5 opening and after a hangover from the padres opening day we where all in. Were greeted by a friendly host but we bypassed her and sat at the bar. The place reminded me of an old steak house but modern they have red and black decor with gold accents and a cool wine room. You can’t miss a score on any game since there’s a tv on every wall and a huge one on the outside patio.They offer a variety of alcohol from mid to high end liquor it’s a decent selection with about 24 taps and some bottle beers. We ordered a Michelada it was average at best he added a bit to much tomato juice. We ordered a OG swagu and a side of onion rings the burger looked amazing the taste melt in your mouth the burger was cooked to perfection I personally could have done without the sauce but it was good. The onion rings were over cooked but seasoned well. The prices are reasonable and I definitely will be back to try other items. I recommend it if you wanna watch a game or have dinner or just grab a drink. If you sit at the bar ask for Nico

These have to be the best burgers downtown has ever seen. I love the vibe in this place it’s seriously a fun hang away from the 5th avenue chaos. It’s great before Padres games but tonight was just meeting up with friends for chill drinks and dinner and it never disappoints. Our bartender Chrystal was awesome and funny. This will be a regular stop for me now. This place has Swag!!

I recently visited Swagyu Burger East Village 🍔 across the street from my building. unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Nice venue , but the food did not meet my expectations. The Swagyu burger & chicken sandwich lacked flavor and chicken was cooked in dirty frier oil. Chieck patty was almost black. Additionally, the service was a bit rude and unaccommodating. I requested a change of item in my order and server Eugine refused to accommodate a change of food item. so I was forced to buy both items. I hope they can make improvements in the future. The place was empty despite a concert at Petco Park. Food is high price low quality. I hope management pays more attention to customer service. 👎🏾

Swagyu Burger is hands down one of the best burger spots in San Diego. I had the Swagyu "OG" and it absolutely blew me away — the wagyu beef is insanely juicy and flavorful, the bun is perfectly toasted, and everything just tastes super fresh. The vibe is awesome too — chill, welcoming, and the staff is really friendly. You can tell they care about quality, and it shows in every bite. If you’re looking for gourmet burgers in San Diego or just want to try something next level near Petco Park, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back!

Crystal & Eugene rocked. So friendly. Great spot to stop whether Padres game or not. Delicious Patty burger. And great Peach Margarita- not too sweet.

I've always wanted to try this place and what a way to celebrate making it to the post season than drinking and eating a swagyu burger! This was thee best burger I've ever had. We had the OG burger it just melts in your mouth. Friendly service. Definitely coming back! Right across the street from Petco Park.

Seriously, beef renderings smooshed together do NOT WAGU* Make! I actually had a $23.00 "A5" Swagyu Burger ...then they papered the windows last year. Still closed... The best REAL WAGU A5 fron the only prefecture in Japan, from my "Steak Quest" in my new place in San Diego is The Cowboy Star in my SD, 10th Avenue neighborhood of East Village, Petco Park, Little Italy AND the Gaslamp District. ALL of them within walking distance every day and night. I'm thinking about selling my car...I realized that I go for a week or move without starting it. Manhattan mates, any tips for urban living and minimizing auto headaches? Uber, Yellow Cab..apps? I can even walk to the San Diego International Airport from my condo... directly across the street from Petco Park's players entrance. Downside? A recent weekend of "EDM" Electronic Dance Music...was excruciating dense monotony! Gotta get new drapes. Steaks? Also try the best out here in SoCal... The Capital Grille in LA and Long Beach. Literally a cut above all but my favorite one disk steak place in Paris' 16th Relaise du Venice at Port Maillot....but I digress. SAN DIEGO, so far has Morton's a classic if you dine in the main room. The Brazilian experience at the Fuego (sic) table side meat selections are truly impressive. I'll mention one "Happy Hour" discovery...the Guinness World Record holding "Whiskey House" on 3rd Avenue in, once again, in the Gaslamp District, has a 4-7 unbeatable, IMHO, near half price menu that is nearly unheard of here in America's most expensive Date Night City!! I'll get my WAGU / SLAGU elsewhere.

Great burgers!! The price justifies the quality. Best sweet potato fries. Secret sauce is a must.
