The Friendly Tavern - S San Diego

Wonderful food! Unfortunately the music was aggressive and explicit. May want to tone it down.Words like F,?; , and pus?,! not really appropriate.I'll be back for sure. Hoping the music content monitored by management though.

This place takes burger love to a whole new level. First off, straight up customer service – these guys know how to make you feel, well, friendly.Now, here's the deal – the lack of modifications for their burgers. But you know what? Sometimes it's better to trust the chef's vision, and at The Friendly, it's totally worth it. And oh my, those burgers are like buttery, juicy bites of pure heaven. Seriously, the flat top smash burgers here are on another level.Here's a fun twist – they've got pizza at the 30th Street spot, and all the burger styles, fries, and onion rings at the university location. And speaking of university, that one's bigger with a cool patio vibe. But you know what? We dig the smaller 30th Street spot because it means we can snag our goodies and head over to Fall Brewery for the ultimate combo. So, if you're on a burger hunt in San Diego, make sure The Friendly is on your list. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.

This is one of my favorite hamburgers in San Diego. Hands-down delicious!Only reason I am giving a four-star review is because of my experience last night.I went again last night and brought a few friends who hadn’t been before. We could barely eat because there were so many flies. ?I highly recommend putting out a few fly traps around their trash cans to make the eating experience enjoyable.

Saw this place on travel deeper, was very excited to try.. a lil underwhelmed, I love a good smash burger, these were a lil too greasy.. they had a good crisp taste and flavor.

Damn good smash burger. A bit too much Mayo for my tastes though. And I’m not a fan of not being able to modify the burgers to suite my preferences. Fries were excellent. Service was friendly but it took forever to get our burgers. Prices were good.
