The Friendly Tavern

Definitely some of the tastiest burgers I've ever had. Burgers with an S because I got a second one. Crispiest bun I've ever eaten, and the seasoning was immaculate. I walked right past this place because of no labels on the building, but the outside open area is pretty chill and the workers are very friendly (no pun intended). Get onion rings as your side, and throw one in the burger. Theyre super delicious and I'm definitely coming back here in the near future. Loved this place

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.

Heard it was one of the best burgers in San Diego so had to give it a try. Cool spot and good prices. You get a well cooked smashburger with a nice crisp and tons of flavor. The onion rings and fries were nice add ons with the beer on the menu. Definitely worth going to

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.

Can't beat them smashed burgers. The Friendly Tavern is an awesome little spot if you’re craving a solid smash burger. The OG Dirty Flat Top was crispy, juicy, and super satisfying. Onion rings and dipping sauces are on point too. cant beat the beer selection and the heavy pours of booze. Definitely a very greasy burger, but well worth the mess.

Very cute place, very clean and kind of hidden. We got lucky and beat a rush, gets busy so appreciate if you get there with no line. Food was quick to come out and the burgers were delicious. Onion rings were on point, just the right amount of batter. Only thing I didn’t care for was their ranch lol

Worth the hype. Got the OG Dirty Flattop and it was exactly the hangover cure I needed. They use a ton of butter so the buns melt perfectly with the greasy burger patties. The onion rings were also a major hit. Crispy and made to order. Check this place out!
