Great food and even better service. Adam was awesome and made the whole experience easy and welcoming. Super friendly, attentive, and clearly cares about customers. The food hit the spot and the vibe was solid. Definitely a place I'll come back to, especially with service like that. read more

Hot, meaty and cheesy- very solid burger. Ordering process is easy but can take a bit of time because there seems to be only one person on the register most of the time. Outdoor seating is limited because it's shared with the neighboring restaurants. read more

Irv's Burgers - Best Burger On "The Menu" - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

We came here on a Thursday night around 8:30 to finally try out the burgers here. There was a little line and you could tell the employee working The register was over it by the time we got to the front, but we were able to quickly put in our order. Unfortunately, it took almost 30 minutes to get two burgers. It seemed unorganized as there were a lot of people waiting and saying that they had been skipped. Regardless, we tried to leave it in the past when we got our food and decided to eat it there. We really wanted to like the burgers, but the cheeseburger bun was way too soggy (see pics) and was just lacking flavor. Seemed like the burger patty wasn't even seasoned with salt and pepper :-( We also got the classic burger which came on a different bun that wasn't soggy so that was good! But unfortunately, we ran into the same issue flavor wise. Maybe we just came on a bad night?? but for a few dollars more I'd honestly rather go to the food box right down the road. read more

Not often in PB and have been wanting to try. Got the chance yesterday. Wasn't super hungry yet wasn't wasting opportunity. I went with a single patty original roadside burger. Immediately took it down in the car. I'm in love and wished I had bought two!! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fresh ingredients and that bun! I'll be back and soon. Maybe a downtown location...hint hint read more

Irv's Burgers in Pacific Beach delivered exactly what a burger lover hopes for a burger, fries, and shake combo done at a seriously high level. The BFS combo (I made that up) were a fantastic trio and really felt like the perfect combination for a laid-back beach day meal. Even though my go-to these days is a simple cheeseburger with basic toppings, Irv's "press the meat and cheese together" style absolutely worked here and made every bite rich, melty, and satisfying. For anyone who loves a straightforward cheeseburger but still wants something a little extra, this style lands right in that sweet spot without feeling overdone. The gentleman who helped me at the counter was awesome...friendly, attentive, and on top of everything from taking orders to running the shake machine. It honestly looked like he might have been working solo, and if that's true, he was handling it like a total pro while still turning out a damn good burger. That kind of only-hands on deck hustle energy added to the experience and made the visit feel less like a quick stop and more like a neighborhood burger joint you want to cheer on and come back to (which I will when in the area again). read more

Not surprised they are closed. No, I have never eaten there and know nothing about their food. I tried to have lunch there and showed up midweek somewhere between noon and one PM. There was a young lady in the kitchen area, and the doors were locked. There is a large service window on the patio to the kitchen so I asked the young lady if they were open and she said no. Closed during a prime hour to sell burgers and sandwiches. Truly doesn't surprise me they didn't make it. read more

Funny enough I got a hot dog and their fries. Both were honestly really good and we got lucky to find a spot inside to eat our food as it was a rainy day. I give it a 4 as the worker taking orders was pretty rude to everyone. She was short with temper and constantly got heated with the tone of her voice. Most of the time she would realize she was wrong and just short tempered. Besides that it was a good spot to finally check out. read more

Cowabunga, Sandwich Squad! Captain 619 Back with the Deets on Irve's Legendary BLT! Where's the beef?! WHO CARES--when Irve's is slingin' a BLT stacked heavier than a winter swell! Head to PB for this meat-lover's dream, where the vibes are salty and the bacon is crispy enough to snap like a clean bottom turn. Shoutout to Richard, the maestro behind the counter (not just a GM, but a flavor conductor ), who orchestrated our feast. Dude wasn't manning the grill, but he commanded that counter like Hendrix on a Strat--smooth, precise, and full of stoke. First act: Strawberry Shake, thicc and juiced-up like a ripe summer berry. No half-steppin' here--just pure fruity bliss. Then, Richard hooked us with a Chocolate Shake on the side, loaded with whipped cream, Oreo, cookies,, and a dash of "heck yeah!" But the headliner? THE BLT. My queen tried to riot--"Get that damn thing off the menu!"--but one bite of this bad boy and she was silent. Layers of bacon thicker than a longboard, fresh lettuce, tomato with a snap, and toast so buttery it's basically a hug. MEAT. HEAVY. This ain't your grandma's tea sandwich--it's a carnivore's anthem, perfectly balanced by those shakes (sweet + savory = ). Richard turned lunch into a symphony--dude's got PB passion in his veins. Five stars, a shaka, and a vow to return before the next tide rolls in. Final Take: Skip the beef. Ride the BLT wave at Irve's. Richard's your captain now--let him steer. (...and an extra bacon emoji because obviously.) Stay salty my friends!!! read more

In a word, Horrible. See the photos, they did not even melt the cheese on the cheeseburger. The burger was bland and tasteless, I honestly expected more. No grilled onions and the bun is not toasted. Jack-in-the-Box, is much better for $8.88. read more

Visited 12/18/2024 Well thought this was going to be just another burger place but was wrong. Great place just up the street from Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. Nice menu of their specialty Burgers and Sandwiches and Much more. Special ground Meat mixture for all burgers. House made Dipping and sandwich Sauces. Hand Made Super Creamy Shakes. Very Much Worth a Visit. read more

Definitely one of the best burger spots in town. Willing to drive from East County to the beach for one of these bad boys. Parking isn't that great, but that's usually the case in the beach neighborhoods but who doesn't like to look good little walk before you get a really awesome meal?! there's a small dining room and there's also some outside dining area. I've always received excellent customer service, and you can tell the cooks are passionate about the food because it comes out consistently delicious every time. Definitely recommend!! read more

We came in for dinner while visiting the Beach from AZ. We got the BLT, original burger, "best burger on the menu", Fries, & Onions Rings. Everything was delicious!! The onion rings were literally perfect & tasted so good in Irv's Sauce. The manager, Richard, was our server. He was so sweet and surprised our daughters each with a milkshake off the menu for no charge. There's some covered seating and patio seating which was nice. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Overall, excellent dinner for the price and we will definitely visit again when we come back next summer. read more

For a late night burger spot in PB, it was a pretty good burger. My only issue is the price as it cost more than other burger places than I feel have the same quality of burger. I do think it's cool eating at the out door area and embracing the ambiance there and also it's pretty close to the beach. The service was pretty good and food came out in a timely manner. I've seen some pretty bad reviews but my experience was a good one. read more

The burgers are ok but actually getting your order is the hard part. Irvs sent out coupons to the surrounding area to help drive business but the customer service is so poor that I think it backfired. We stopped in to use a free burger coupon but they lost our order (no it wasn't busy) and it took 20 minutes plus us asking what happened for them to even start making our order. It's pretty embarrassing honestly. I don't think I'd even go back for another free burger. read more

Adam and the rest of the crew at Irv's in PB were AMAZING!! We had a staycation and ate here a couple times because we loved it so much. Hooked it up with the yummiest chili cheese fries. Loved the sauce on the burgers. Orange Creamsicle float and Root Beer Floats were also super delicious. Fun atmosphere and excellent service. We will definitely be back! read more

Average Burger place. For one combo and one single roadside Burger it was $30. So I don't really love the prices. As for the food we got the best menu Burger which is a Smashburger and it was just okay. I love a good Smashburger and I probably will not go here and order this again. The cheese fries we're good. That's actually probably my favorite part of the meal. The service was decent. The two guys working at the counter were very friendly and helpful with the menu. However wait time for the food was rather slow. They said it'll be 7 minutes and it ended up being about 16 minutes. There is parking In the lot or on the street but it is pay parking as they've meters on the street and you have to pay to park in the lot period if you go over a block on a side street then it is free to park but know that it's by the beach so Place gets packed. I live nearby so I just walked. It is mostly outdoor seating which we had no problem finding a table. I saw there also was a dining area inside but I did not go inside to see how much seating is in there. read more

Irv's Burgers is an LA area import that was established 78 years ago. The business has inherited one of the stalls at the Mission + Garnet Food Hall in PB. Along with a famous out-of-state pizza chain, they are now the anchor tenants to the facility with a rotating sign on the southwest corner advertising their presence. One stall has been converted to a sit-down dining area where customers can enjoy their food/drink on-site. Burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, sides, floats, and milkshakes were the main categories. I chose one of the four burgers and one of the two hot dogs for my meal. Best Burger on "The Menu" was a pressed to order double 1/4 pound patty with American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and Irv's sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. The best part of this item was the crispy edges to the meat from being smashed on the flat top grill. Irv's Dog was an all-beef Hebrew National frank served on a buttered and toasted bun. It was very plain and underwhelming for $5. I didn't encounter any service issues or a significant wait for my food. The staff seemed efficient and pleasant. If I were to return for another visit, then it would be to try one of the floats or shakes and not a homemade chocolate chip cookie priced at $5.50. Four stars for the Best Burger on "The Menu" and two stars for the Irv's Dog equals an overall three star rating for Irv's Burgers. read more

I've heard comparisons of this place to a local favorite: THE FRIENDLY so we decided to try it. It takes over the mission + garnet food hall next to Prince st Pizza. Parking is a little tough but anywhere in PB is tough. We ordered the "best burger on the menu" and the original burger subbed with grilled onions. The "best burger" is VERY SIMILAR to the friendly's but maybe a tad bigger and fancier bun. I have a little more bias to the friendly as it was my first smash burger but I liked that this bun didn't get soggy. It's also in a more convenient location if I were to bar hop around PB. The original burger was good but mid(?) it's not bad, just your average joe burger. I liked that it didn't make me feel heavy / meat sweats compared to a regular plain smash burger though. Service is pretty fast as well with mustard and ketchup self serve on the side. Food was ready in about 10 minutes. read more

I enjoyed a nice old school patty melt from Irv's Burgers. I am glad to learn that places like Irv's are still offering old school, but great menu items, like the traditional patty melt on griddle rye bread. The patty is a classic in American diner scene. For only $11.50, they double up the all beef quality patties for this patty sandwich and include melted American cheese, tender grilled onions, Irv's sauce, and toasted rye bread. I asked for the sauce on the side. The patty melt was delicious indeed. I loved the exterior crunch of the rye bread and its flavor. They did it right here. The meat was tender and juicy, and the grilled onions were outstanding. I would put those onions on any burger. Every bite of this patty melt was delicious. The service is friendly enough, but a more welcoming sense of enthusiasm would be appreciated. read more

Finally tried out Irv's Burgers that opened up right on Garnett Avenue this weekend. For a Friday night we were surprised that there was no line at all at 8 PM. We were able to order right away and waited around 15 minutes for our to go order to be ready. It came out to around $40 for a patty melt, cheeseburger, fries and onion rings, which I felt was a little steep. The flavor was great for the patty melt and the cheeseburger. I do wish the fries were a little crispier and they gave us a few more onion rings. Overall, there's a lot of great burger spots in PB, so I won't be running back here but I did very much enjoy my meal. read more

If you live in Pacific Beach or are visiting, you have to try Irv's Burgers! I am not someone that goes crazy for burgers but sometimes you are craving one. I didn't want just any burger but a truly delicious one that tasted homeade and that was packed with flavor! My time had arrived because I always drove by wondering what this place was all about. And, one of my all-time favorite pizza places is next door, Prince Street Pizza. Well, I was patiently driving around to find a parking spot which I was finally fortunate to do, and it was not too far away to walk there. I noticed on the menu Irv's offers turkey burgers. I was so overjoyed because not too many places offer turkey burgess. I got my burger and the first bite was well "Love At First Bite!" This burger had mild green chilis with lettuce, tomato, and onion. I did skip the cheese but if you desire cheese, hey have that too! The burger was juicy, had so much flavor, the green chilis gave it added flavor but you don't need to have those if you don't want them. They do add a wonderful, zesty flavor and they are mild tasting. The sesame bun was perfect also. It was an all-around flavorful, juicy, delicious, and homemade tasting burger you feel satisfied for the whole day! The man who was behind the register I believe his name was Richard was friendly, helpful, informative, and professional. I received service with a smile. I asked him to give me the history behind this cute little dining spot and it was fascinating to hear how Irv's came to be. It originated in the Los Angeles area by a young woman who founded the dining spot with all types of people to also include celebrities who dined and enjoyed Irv's also! Although, it has changed in ways over the years, this iconic burger joint is still around today serving the Pacific Beach community with "Award-winning" hamburgers and tasty food! You can be experience this deliciousness too, just make it a plan go to Irv's ASAP TODAY! read more

Tasty is an understatement, I can see myself chowing down many of these in the years to come. Lots of flavor, well made, quick n ez goodness!!

My favorite smash burger in Pacific Beach- hands down! I've gone during the day for the "Menu Burger" and it was so delicious. It's definitely a hefty/cheesy burger. I also did a build your own and it was so good! I did a single patty with cheese, grilled onions, and a little bit of chili and it was the perfect amount and loved the flavor of the grilled onions. Their milk shakes are also a must get if you get this spot! read more

Anyone who comments here and complained is rude and karened out. "Food took to long ". "Didn't get my custom order right". Food took ten minutes. It was everything an la restaurant chain should offer. Pastrami. Chili cheese. I had the "best burger on the menu" it was for lack of a better word, perfect. Two smashed patties, crispy edges. Pickles and grilled onions on a sesame bun. The tuna melt on rye. Toasted to perfection. Melted cheese, and tuna salad. The chili dog. Don't even start, an LA staple. Insane. If you like old timey diner, long counter deliciousness, EAT HERE. read more
