    Homey salad
    Wennie H.

    Came by for dinner with my friend, after taxes and tip, it was $81 for two single patty smash burgers, a side of the banana ketchup and a salad. The salad was delicious- fresh and vibrant, every bite was sauced. Burger was good but not for $20, truffle fries were yummy and fried to perfection. Banana ketchup was sweet.

    I really enjoyed the ambiance of this place. True to its name it felt very homey and friendly. Our server explained everything on the menu and helped guide us to some really awesome food! We really loved the corn soup which they were kind enough to split into four for us, the jackfruit red rice bowl, and the chicken adobo tacos. The sopes we tried was pretty bland so could've skipped that but everything else solid. They have hot sauce you can ask for on the side - recommend the pineapple habanero if you really love spice! Dessert hands down get the banana bread. It was so delicious!! Would come back again!

    This place has a lot of hype for the smash burger, so this was the main thing I wanted to try. I got a single kewpie burger which was really good, although I probably should've added a patty as the single patty is quite thin. The burger comes with truffle shoestring fries which were really good, crispy, and had a strong truffle essence. The burger is quite pricey for its size though, $19 for a single patty and +$5 for an extra patty. This place is decently popular. We waited about 30 minutes in a Saturday night and were seated at the bar. They do take down your cell phone number and you can come back later, but there's not really that much to do nearby so we just hung out in the car until we got the text. I would come again to get their burger again and try some of their other dishes, but it's a bit far from me and expensive so I'm not necessarily rushing to do it.

    Wanted to try the Smashburger here. It was really good. The fries even better. The single is maybe 3oz meat raw so it's small. I would say get the extra patty. Fries were really good and I don't like shoestring fries but these were good. The only negative was that they say they have outdoor seating for dogs but on a 70 degree day in April it wasn't open. So we had to order to go. Also a little pricey but still worth going.

    Familyfriend is a small, homey restaurant. It seems to be very popular, so I would come early. The service was great, but unfortunately I did not enjoy the food. I got the la paz batchoy and it honestly didn't taste like much. The broth was super mild and because of that, the noodles were bland. The pig liver was way overcooked, and became super rubbery. I did try the smash burger as well. It was good, but nothing crazy.. I felt like the meat to bread ratio was off to me ( I think there should be more meat). The truffle fries were thin, crispy, and the truffle flavor was nice.

    Came by on a saturday night with 2 people and got seated immediately at a group table with another party of 2. Very cute and cozy ambience inside it feels like you're just in a house. The workers are all very friendly. Ordered the corn soup and it was super yummy it reminded me of coconut curry but with a twist. The smash burger was soooo good it had the perfect amount of flavor and crisp plus the buns were so soft and not too bready. The truffle fries were shoestring and also had such good flavor. The buñelos were just okay to me because they were pretty sour but it's possible that it's because it's not mango season or maybe thats the appeal for some. I definitely want to come back

    OKKKKKKK this burger is no joke. It HITS. (Make sure to get double patty, pickles on the side) + truffle fries are great shoestring fries. Corn soup was delicious

    the thinnest patty I have ever paid for
    Chara C.

    This place is hyped up for the burger, but unfortunately I was not impressed. Overall they've got good culinary intuitions - the corn soup was the best part but also tiny. It felt like going to a regular casual dining restaurant, but "hip" and popular in seattle means exorbitant prices for small portions. The burger was TINY. yes its supposed to be a "kids" burger and for that I expect kid size prices. The meat was impressively LESS than that of a McDonald's or dicks burger, and inconsistently sized (there was a chunk missing from mine because it was so thin that when smashed, it had an empty spot). The truffle salt fries were delish but didn't make up for the cost. Truffle fries could be worth up to $7-10, but the burger was worth $3-5 max. Maybe if it had a truffle aioli to go with the fries the price would make a little bit more sense... $20 plus tax and tips for a portion of a meal is too much. The burger was so flat and empty - not dry persay, but not saucy, and had just the miso onion relish and nothing else... not even a piece of lettuce to spare? tomato? Dicks and other fast food spots would definitely be way more worth the money and be more filling.

    I tried the corn chowder, seafood kelaguen tostada, and the kewpie burger. All three dishes were very flavorful! If price was not a factor, I would definitely come back to explore more of the menu because everything tasted great. But because the dishes are on the pricier side, I would be happy to come back if a friend wanted to eat here, I am not sure I would go out of my way to come on my own. The staff were super friendly and helpful, answering all my questions and giving great recommendations, which made the experience even better!

    smashburger and fries
    Shrenik P.

    had pretty high expectations for the burger here, and i have to say i certainly wasn't let down starting with the buns - i don't know if i've had a set more perfect than these. in a lot of places i've been to, the buns have been too chewy on the outside - but that's absolutely not the case here as they manage to stay incredibly soft both on the inside and outside, so you just bite directly through with pretty much no resistance. the crispiness of the patty is another impressive feat. while pretty thin, this is packed with flavor, and has a serious amount of crunch to it. the one regret i do have is not getting a double patty, as it was a bit too thin such that it wasn't always the primary taste of the burger, but it really was cooked fantastically. I also have to mention how well seasoned the patty was The american cheese is melted perfectly, and while it's not something ultra-special - tastes just like normal american cheese - it does provide a lot towards that homestyle, nostalgic flavor that comes from eating a cheeseburger The main parts of the burger aside, it's the accompaniments that truly elevate this burger to being all-time good The combination of miso, onions, relish, and mayo produces a flavor combination ever-present throughout the burger that's staggeringly good. There's just no skimping here - particularly on the kewpie mayo - which is slathered generously throughout the bottom bun. this unique set of toppings makes the burger just that much better I also can't go without mentioning how incredible the fries were. They were coated generously in truffle oil, which made them immensely flavorful on their own, but we also got the fresno chili and garlic sauce, which was great to be able to dip in. I don't think I've had truffle fries before, but they were fantastic I also took a bite of my friend's tinaktak rice bowl - and I was blown away by the amount of flavors in there that stick in your mouth long after you finish chewing. Would highly recommend getting that as well Going based off this, I would probably give a 9.75 or 9.5 out of 10, but we also got the Typhoon Donuts I didn't know what these were beforehand - but I have to say I did not like these very much The outside was decent and crunchy, but the inside wasn't really sweet at all, and there was a strong concentrated mango flavor at one part but not really present anywhere else. The sauce that came with these was also a pretty big miss. This was just not an enjoyable dessert The burger and fries come at a pretty good price, (around 20-ish with the sauce), but 10 dollars for the donuts was probably not worth it. the portion size is relatively decent

    Smash burger/fries...double patty.
    Raymond H.

    I always drove by this place and wanted to try this place and help the neighborhood businesses. Stop by the one night, got seated right away, got waited on by a nice gentleman with a baseball cap. I knew what I wanted because I heard a lot about the smash burger and knew it was going to be about $20.00 but didn't know it was extra for an extra patty, which is ok by me. Luckily double was just enough because I think a single would not have been enough. It was tasty. And the string fries was good. But $.50 for ketchup that seems like a lot to charge, nickel dime for condiments. And I also ordered a soda, $6.00 and no free refill also had a lot of ice. Seriously I thought I was under dress because I just came in with sweatshirt and tennis shoes. And then starting tip suggestions was 22%, 25%?!?! I'm not sure I will be coming back. I will try other smash burgers. Fancy restaurant price for a small neighborhood not fancy restaurant.

    Went for the corn soup, stayed for the truffle shoestring fries. A small intimate space with some bar seating, we arrived for weekend early dinner and sat at the bar as the table seating was already full. For a small upcharge you can split 1 corn soup into multiple bowls and they will give you a bit more per portion. Kewpie burger was not too big but the truffle fries were excellent. There is decent street parking in the neighborhood.

    Familyfriend is a hidden gem in Seattle. It's a cute little joint with both homey indoor and backyard outdoor seating, secretly holding one of, if not the best, burgers in Seattle. It's a miso smash burger with truffle fries and it's incredible. The fries are unlike anything I'd tasted before! Not your traditional truffle fries for sure! The burger was crispy loaded with umami flavor, and seasoned perfectly! The service was great! For dessert we got the Lanabread that was also fantastic! Not too sweet, but it hit the spot for a dessert! I can't wait to get back and try more of their food!

    Ask the Community - familyfriend

    Do they take reservations and how do I do so?

    Officially, they do not. But you can try messaging through IG, and they might accommodate you.

    Do they have chamorro empanadas ? Not the one listed on their menu!

    If you're thinking of the empanada with masa harina or cream of rice, achote, and chicken, then Familyfriend doesn't have that. They have Riyenu empanada (Chamorro stuffing).

    Do they accept credit cards?

    Yes

    Are dogs allowed on the outdoor patio?

    Yes! We've brought our puppy there!

I'm gonna be real with y'all - ya girl was HUNGOVER as all hell coming to this place. I was at the point where nothing was going to help besides hair of the dog, so... A Bloody Mary it was. I asked for it a tad spicy and it came prettttyyyy spicy, but my stomach also wasn't at it's normal state that day, so who knows. They come topped with olives, bacon, and pepperoni. At first I wasn't digging that, but after I sucked some of the drink down and came alive again, the bacon was tasting really good! Staff is friendly, they've got tons of space, and there's a solid food menu (didn't order but lots sounded good). Definitely a hole-in-the-wall spot.

I got the St. Germaine spritz and we shared the lemongrass steak nachos, frites, and kimchi arancini! St Germaine spritz: I love a cocktail/alcoholic beverage that is on the sweeter side. I don't really love when can I taste the alcohol in a mixed drink so this drink was definitely up my alley. It was super refreshing and had a nice bubblyness to it. Lemongrass steak nachos: the lemongrass was definitely a standout taste in these nachos which I loved! I loved the combo of the fresh ingredients like the cilantro, lemongrass, and cabbage with the steak and queso, it helped to balance all the flavors and didn't feel heavy Frites: pretty standard tasting fries, not too skinny and not too thick which I liked! The chili mayo had a nice smoky sweet flavor and it was a great dipping sauce! Kimchi Arancini: these were crispy and had a nice gooey cheese in the middle which definitely had a cheese pull. The kimchi taste I felt was relatively mild which is great for people that don't want such a strong sour kimchi flavor, I love kimchi so I could've definitely had it stronger. They do give you a side of kimchi to go with it, but I didn't love the kimchi it came with. I'm used to getting kimchi from Hmart or other Asian grocery stores but this was pretty mid to me.

The cauliflower dish feels almost like a fresh salad, light and easy to eat, and the gnocchi with chipotle sauce had a nice subtle kick. The focaccia and sardines paired perfectly with champagne and white wine. Right next door is Homer, a very popular restaurant, and I've been to both--but honestly, I prefer this place. Maybe it's a bit less trendy because there aren't many main-course options, but everything I've tried here has been consistently delicious.
