About 1090 Burger

Swan Street regulars head straight to 1090 Burger for beef seared down to a deep, lacy crunch—tucked into toasted milk buns. Better than fast-food grease, minus the gastropub markup. Richmond crowds stick to an unwritten order: double beef, hot salted fries, and a cold craft tin or thick salted caramel shake. Eat at the diner counter inside or get it wrapped for the park down the road.

  • Crisp Smash Patties: Beef patties seared hard on the flat top for charred, crunchy edges, served on warm toasted milk buns.
  • Loaded Sides & Shakes: Hot shoestring fries, crunchy onion rings, loaded thunder fries, and thick salted caramel milkshakes.
  • Chicken & Veggie Options: Handmade vegetarian patties and fried chicken burgers provide reliable alternatives to the classic beef stacks.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering flow, takeout logistics, and timing for your Swan Street burger run.

  • Order at the Counter First

    Check the wall menu and place your order at the counter before claiming a seat; allow a few extra minutes during peak times as each smash patty is seared to order.

  • Eat the Fries Fresh

    Burgers hold up well in takeaway paper, but the thin shoestring fries lose their crisp heat quickly—eat them hot on the spot or right after pickup.

  • Arrive Before the 8:30 PM Cutoff

    Kitchen service finishes relatively early at 8:30 pm, so plan an early evening run to enjoy diner burgers and craft beers without rushing. Book your visit or head in early to secure your spot.
