The Friendly Tavern offers a fantastic burger experience in a casual, sometimes grimy dive atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal, featuring picnic-style seating that adds to the chill vibe. The burgers are praised as some of the tastiest around, with the OG Dirty Flat Top noted for being crispy, juicy, and super satisfying. Many customers enjoy the greasy, Cafe style smashburger, and the seasoning is described as immaculate. Onion rings are highly recommended as a side, with some suggesting adding them to the burger for extra flavor.
While the wait time can be longer than expected, sometimes taking around twenty minutes, many find the beer cold and the prices fair. Although some visitors have experienced rushed service, the staff is generally friendly and professional, contributing to a good experience. The menu does not allow ingredients to be taken off the burger, which may disappoint those with specific preferences. Despite some drawbacks, many customers recommend this place for burger lovers, especially those wanting to enjoy outdoor dining and a great burger in a laid-back environment.
