👕 CUTS EXCLUSIVE: earlyaccess.cutsclothing.com/...
This week, we went on a quest to discover the best burgers in San Diego, California. I asked all of you on Instagram what are the best burgers in San Diego, and your recommendations fueled our adventure. From iconic locations such as Hodad's and The Balboa to new burger joints like Hayes Burgers and Swagyu, we left no bun left unturned.
The best burgers in San Diego was inspired from the best birria tacos in San Diego video, so if you haven't seen that one, be sure to watch that next!
In order of appearance, here are the 5 best burgers in San Diego locations we visited:
Hodad's in Ocean Beach: Famous for their bacon cheeseburgers, Hodad's is a San Diego staple with multiple locations, including one now in Petco Park, the San Diego Padres Stadium downtown.
Swagyu Chop Shop & Burger in Pacific Beach: A new player in the "best burgers in San Diego" scene as they focus on high quality Wagyu beef. They have multiple locations across the country and now ship steaks and burgers across the country as well. They also do tasting menus and now serve brunch at this Pacific Beach location.
The Friendly in North Park: A unique location that says "Pizza and more" on their store sign in North Park, but the highlight here is most definitely the "dirt flattop burger" that consists of two patties, american cheese, caramelized onions, and a special garlic mayo.
The Balboa in Bankers Hill: Another San Diego staple that is located right across from Balboa Park, just north of downtown San Diego. A great little dive bar that serves up perfectly cooked burgers.
Hayes Burgers in Barrio Logan: A new kid on the block in the cultural neighborhood of Barrio Logan, serving up delicious smash burgers with homemade fries and beers. Hayes Burgers is definitely worth the trip for one of the best burgers in San Diego.
If you have any other "best burgers in San Diego" recommendations, please leave a comment below and I would love to try more! If you liked the video please give it thumbs up, subscribe and click on that notifications bell for weekly updates! THANK YOU!!

RIP Mike Hardin, friendly owner. Happy to see the business continue on in his absence. The bacon patties are yummy. The vegetable toppings are massive, have it on the side and ask for ranch, large enough for two restaurant side salads. A smashed burger is a different beast than a non-smashed burger. California has some of the biggest beef cattle heards in the nation. If one eats at Harris Ranch off I-5 one is eating some of the freshest beef in the nation, it is often also down wind of finishing lots. It could be one reason for not having to smash beef so thinly and thus using less beef.

Oh man, when you first walked up to The Balboa... a bit of sadness for me there. It used to be a place called Tin Can Ale House where you could go get cans of beer and watch live music. I used to go and see friends bands play there. I'm bummed that it's gone.

Longhorn Bar and Grill(Grantville area): Italian Burger(1/2 lb, medium rare) with provolone cheese. Ask for grilled onions and sauteed mushrooms on the side to make it truly decadent. Grab some peppers and pickles as well from the condiment tray. Live it up! Check out the John Wayne room, as well. Please say Hi to Paul, the owner, and bartender Matty for me!

Thank you so much for making this video, I live in San Diego and hadn't heard of Swagyu, The Friendly and Hayes!!! I love North Park and Barrio Logan so I definitely want to check those spots out. You MUST try Salud tacos in Barrio Logan, to me those are by far the best tacos in San Diego, the classic Carne Asada tacos are very close to taste to tacos de asada from Tijuana. I grew up eating all my tacos in Tijuana so I know! Mind you, no other tacos taste like Tijuana tacos than Tijuana tacos! With that said, give the place a try, all the food is great!

Awesome places you visited. Venture outside of the core San Diego area for some amazing burgers as well. Grub up in the Carmel Mountain area has a brunch burger plus they make their own dipping sauces. Love the egg yolk just everywhere on the burger as you eat it, with the cheese and queso on the burger. Messsssy and good!
