The Friendly - San Diego

I had both a dirty flat top cheeseburger and a slice of pizza. They were both delicious. Service was top notch. The person that took our order brought all our food and drinks to the table we were waiting at and the food was prepared very quickly. I wish the location was in a better spot to find parking easier and bigger to have more tables to eat at.

The Friendly is the counterpart to The Friendly Tavern and serves pizza in addition to their burgers. The Friendly serves only their classic cheeseburger, no fries or sides. I went at night around 9pm and the vibe is more like a bar serving food with the music playing. Not a negative for me but for families, I recommend going for early dinner or going to the Friendly Tavern instead. The veggie pizza slice was crisped up nicely from the oven and was delicious. A solid pizza slice that I'd be happy with anywhere, anytime. But the main attraction is the Dirty Flat Top Cheeseburger. They make them all to order and so I recommend dining in and enjoying it immediately. The patty is smashed down and had that great crispy char on the outside and the cheese, mayo, onions rounds out this simple but oh so good cheeseburger.

It's the perfect hole in the wall slice and burger shop, no fuss no frills just great food. Is there a dive bar equivalent for pies and burgers? If do, this could be it and it rips.Food: 5/5

If you haven't had a friendly burger you are TRULY missing out! For our VPR Finale Reunion party we decided that The Friendly would be the perfect choice to have with the classic flat top burgers and of course a pizza. We called ahead to make sure we could place our order early enough because this spot is always busy. Also talk about such a steal of a deal for 6 people! If you haven't been here you need to, even just go in and order a slice of pizza before you walk to the next bar!

Best slice spot around! Great pizza burgers with friendly quick service.Food: 5/5
