A hole in the wall, no frills spot with a simple menu of pizza and smash burgers. $11 for a burger and a Mexican Coke. The burger was greasy and flavorful. Great crust and plenty of melted cheese, soft buns and grilled onions. Easy ordering process and quick service. The music is loud, but it was good, millennial hip hop so I was happy. I'll definitely be back!

Never disappoints!! This place is consistently good and I found myself craving a delicious flat top burger last night and came in, not as busy which was nice but the vibe was still good with delicious eats!

Casual joint on North Park serving up few items: dirty flat top smash cheese burgers and pizza. It gives dive bar vibes, and they play hip hop, pop and rnb. No frills service at the cashier, we ordered the smashburger which is a pretty simple but super tasty bite of flavor. The burger is $8 for two tender, crispy burnt end patties, grilled onions, cheese and two plain buns. It's definitely better than In n Out. I'd recommend trying, and the pizza was nothing special. Parking is horrible here, there's few spots by the restaurant itself and then good luck going to residential to finding something.

The friendly is close by but my snobbiness probably made me not choose them. I tried Tribute pizza first before them although they are a slingshot away from me. I also hate lines for getting food. So on a fateful nice Sunday, while my partner was getting his haircut at Arsenal barbershop, I suggested we order the Friendly pizza. There are several choices in the menu and it was not too busy so the pizza would be ready after the cut. It was perfect timing. I got The Works - pepperoni and sausage with mushrooms and onions and bell pepper. I got to it at home since it was still hot and fresh. Although I'm not for leftover pizza since they dry up or taste worse, Friendly's was as good as the first time and 18" bigger than the one at the other place and price is just right. Probably will order here more often and try their sandwiches too. Glad I finally tried being Friendly! Bravo!

Was looking for something to feed the kiddos and came upon this spot. Since it was a Friday, was pretty packed. The inside also is pretty small, and doesn't offer much seating, so it seems to be more of a takeout spot. The slices were decent and the kids seemed to enjoy so I'd say thats a win. Staff was also friendly and was able to get the line moving pretty quickly so was very grateful for that.

Do I dare say this is my fave burger spot in SD?! I love the local vibe of the restaurant and don't even get me started on the burger! They have a sign that says, "we respectfully decline modifications" but lemme tell you... the burger doesn't need any! Also tried the pepperoni pizza slice and I appreciated the crispy crust. Overall, such a great spot. Check it out if you're in the area!

Idk why it took me so long to write this review but if you are looking for a top 5 burger in San Diego, look no further. No modifications to the burger, don't be a wimp, jk, but seriously it's the real deal. Rules: you must eat it right away to get the full mouth watering experience and (this is the best and OG location, so come here). Seasoned thin patties with gooey cheese and this delicious aioli, it's so simple but so good - you will get messy with grease dripping, but it is fricken amazing. They have special collabs which have also been outstanding, so make sure you check out their instagram for that. Not only do they have top burgers but best NY style pizza imo. I have probably tried all of the pizzas by now and have never been disappointed - thin, crispy, unique, fresh, and flavorful. It's packed alllll the time, so everything is always fresh. One thing you will always find here is consistency, from food to service. Same cool dudes always in here which make the experience ever better.

Burger -9/10 - the burger was excellent; what would make it a 10 was an option for a lettuce bun or ketchup instead of mayo. I try to be gluten free so I was disappointed by them having no alternative. I'm sure they would have given me no bun if I had asked though. For a burger place, it seems weird to me that they don't serve fries, onion rings or any option to go with the burger. Parking in this area can be hit or miss
