Coming to the Friendly in SD has become the norm. However we don’t come to this location. Both places are equally as good when you’re going to have just the “OG Dirty Flat Top” cheese burger.

This location offers a few other burger options as well as fries and onion rings. No pizza at this location. The other location offers only “OG Dirty Flat Top” cheese burger and Pizza.

So if you want pizza the other location with limited seating. If you want more burger options and more space to sit, then it’s this location. Food is always great. Never miss on any trip down here.

Best smash burgers in San Diego. They are very heavy and my go to when you need a cheat meal or for lunch after a night out drinking.

Wonderful local tavern! Nestled in North Park this spot serves amazing smash burgers and has a good beer selection. Food comes out super fast! Parking is a chore but the payoff is worth it.

Had the oxtail burger special today and a fall hazy IPA. FREAKING PHENOMENALLY COOKED AND DELICIOUS! the outside is so nicely done up even though it was stormy weather we found a spot under a tree.

Great food but no modifications including taking cheese off a burger which is challenging for people like me who are lactose intolerant. Service is direct and not super friendly but also not rude. Great for a quick burger. The fries and onion rings were delicious!

Simple is best here. There’s not a lot of places where I would get a plain hamburger but theirs is great and I get it every time. I just add ketchup and mustard and I’m very happy with it. Nice evening hangout spot.

Tasty smash burgers with American cheese (no option of real cheese or any modifications). It’s like a nicer McDonalds tasting burger. Greasy and will hit the spot especially if hung over. Not worth the overall hype though.
