Scotty B’s, a popular local burger and barbecue restaurant, is preparing to open its new location at 875 Seacoast Drive in Imperial Beach. The restaurant, which focuses on bold flavors and fresh ingredients, is set to launch on September 15, according to a recent liquor license application. The new venue will occupy the former site of Champion Field, signaling a return to the neighborhood where the brand initially gained traction.
Owner Scott Landy announced the opening date via Facebook, highlighting the restaurant’s casual atmosphere designed to cater to both locals and beach visitors. The menu will feature a variety of options, including gourmet burgers, hot dogs, and a weekend-only breakfast service, which will be available from 08:00 to 14:00.
From Humble Beginnings to Community Staple
Originally, Scotty B’s began as a side project for Landy, who started grilling burgers in a bar space without food service. With minimal kitchen equipment, he emphasized flavor and quality, quickly building a dedicated customer base. What began as a simple idea has transformed into a sustainable local business, prompting the need for a larger space as demand grew.
The new location not only marks a homecoming for the brand but also features a refreshed design aimed at enhancing the dining experience. Landy noted that the remodeling process took considerable time, but he and his team are eager to unveil the updated space and expanded menu to the community. Customers can look forward to late-night hours, scratch-made dishes, and a neighborhood-oriented vibe that reflects the restaurant’s roots.
A Flavorful Menu and Community Focus
The menu at the new Scotty B’s will offer a diverse selection of items, including various burgers and hot dogs, alongside side dishes such as fries, jalapeño poppers, and loaded nachos. Catering services will also be available for private events, allowing the restaurant to extend its reach within the community.
Landy credits the success of his business to the unwavering support from the community and encouragement from family, particularly his father-in-law. This support has been instrumental in evolving a small-scale burger concept into a beloved local establishment. As Scotty B’s prepares to open its doors once again, it aims to uphold the tradition of quality food and community connection that has defined its journey.
