Owned by Rafael Vazquez, Slappy’s has earned a devoted following for its no-nonsense menu built around Angus beef burgers, generously portioned sides, and an approachable craft beer lineup that rotates through local favorites. Menu staples include the Slappy Burger loaded with bacon and grilled onions, the mushroom Swiss burger, BBQ pork sandwiches, patty melts, and a lineup of wings, sliders, salads, hot dogs, and pizzas. The restaurant is also known for offering weekend brunch, featuring items like chicken & waffles, brunch burgers, omelets, and breakfast cocktails.
The Imperial Beach location will inherit a prime coastal footprint near the ocean and pier - an area hungry for dependable, family-friendly dining with an emphasis on beer, burgers, and beachfront accessibility. With Slappy’s strong momentum in National City and the brand’s emphasis on casual affordability, the new IB branch is poised to attract both neighborhood regulars and beachgoers looking for an easy, satisfying meal after a day in the sun.
Slappy’s Burgers & Brews Imperial Beach will open soon at 710 Seacoast Dr., Suite F, in San Diego's South Bay city of Imperial Beach. For more information, visit slappysburgers.com.
