The Friendly Tavern

We love coming to The Friendly Tavern. The burgers are super good and we always have a great time. The menu is simple and to the point and I appreciate that. They know what they do well, and that's what they serve. Great smash burgers! My favorite is the OG Dirty Flat top burger with a side of onion rings. The burger patties are thin and crispy and the cheese is super melty. Onion rights were crispy but not oily. Bomb food. The prices are super fair and the food never takes too long. Love that the seating is all outdoor and with the string lighting it's super cute at night. I definitely recommend coming here for a burger, fries, and a beer. And then walk down the street for some ice cream!

Man oh Man, I love The Friendly and glad I was able to stop by here on my way back to Las Vegas. I used to frequent the old location on 30th and enjoyed it all the time and so happy this location has a bigger menu. (I was not aware of other locations opening up since I've moved out of SD.)I had the OG Dirty Flat Top that had 2 patties, cheese, aioli and grilled onions along with some French fries. It did not disappoint. I loved the outside patio area but too bad there's no shade other than 1 table by the TV. Luckily, we sat on that table. It'd be great spot for night time gathering which I know is a hot spot.

Change name to unfriendly. "Is this your first time?" And the last time. The burger was awfull. The main condiment was mayonnaise (the og burger.) slathered in a grease, garnished as a dressing. The onion rings were ok. Fries I've had better. The beer was ok (can) goo goo muck. Sat at the "bar" was told to stand in line for another beer. Just do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Yelp boast a large menu, in reality was 6 items with no room for improvement (unalterable ingredients .) I WANT TO THANK INSTAGRAM INFLUENCERS FOR RECOMMENDING THIS HOLE. Must try places if you're in SD, try in-n-out instead. Just say no - Nancy Regan

Friendly tavern, where they do not treat their paying patrons due respect. Last night, I witnessed a customer walking up to the food pickup window. The customer who was already served asked if they had a restroom. The guy behind the counter in a stern voice said, "Did you even eat here!!" Then the employee said,"I am trying to close the kitchen, and you are wasting my time. Why dont you use your eyes. The bathroom is right there."I will never go there again. This guy should be fired. I have never heard such disrespect to a customer in my life!!

Finally made it here on my burger tour. I started with the OG flat top. Those crispy edges had me in love. Seasoned well. The bun held up and lots of napkins were used!I went back the following week and brought a friend. This time tried the Bacon mushroom Swiss....and this might be my favorite. We also tried the shit kicker which is a bbq style with onion ring. I wanted to like it and I did, but probably wouldn't get it again. The bbq sauce overwhelmed the burger. It's all you could taste. Atmosphere is great. Outside seating at picnic tables. Service is good. They will walk through questions. Absolutely no changes / substitutions on the burgers. Don't even ask. it's their thing. Both times they were out of most beers. But not there for beer anyway!

If you've gone to the friendly, then you know these smash burgers are absolutely savory and delicious! I literally cannot get enough of them. Every single one of the burgers are so good! The onion rings were crispy and delicious. My fav are the sides of dipping sauces, garlic aioli, Chef's kiss! This location doesn't serve pizza like the other location. The outdoor seating is a lot better, there are plenty of tables. They have high chairs and they cater to bigger parties. Don't forget to start off your meal with shot gun of beer! The Tecate goes perfectly with the burgers.

My friend posted a picture of her tray of food from The Friendly and I thought about it nonstop for a week. So of course I had to go. I got the hamburguesa with a side of onion rings - out of this world. I'm usually not a fan of burgers, but this reminded me that life was worth living another day for LOL. This is an absolutely no-frills burger joint without an extensive menu for food or drinks. But they do what they do and they do it well.

Probably one of the best smash burgers I've had!! Such a fun place to grab a burger and enjoy it. The food comes out really fast and their onion rings are a must!! I will definitely be back soon! We tried the classic O.G. Dirty Flat Top Burger, and it did not disappoint! So juicy and delicious you're going to want to order more. All outdoor seating! Parking can be tricky on the weekends but there's a bunch of street parking around the block.

The f the police mentality on their shirts I'd never come back. The burger was decent but you can get good greasy smash burgers all over SdKeep your personal views at home. If they got robbed they wouldn't have shirts saying F the police guaranteed

Unbeaten Smashburger. The execution could make me move here. 10/10 burgers. Also top tier onion rings, not usually a fan. Feels good in my mouth & tummy.
