Burgers are incredible. Best around and we hit it everytime we're in town. I have to say it's pricey, would love them to be a little cheaper, but... Locally owned & operated too so gotta try it. read more

This is one of our favorite burger spots when visiting 30A. When we arrived, it wasn't busy, and everyone in our group was able to order easily at the kiosk. There were five separate orders, all placed around the same time. However, one couple's order took nearly 40 minutes, while the others received their food in about 20 minutes. When we noticed that guests who arrived after us were getting their food first, we asked about the delay. A staff member told us their order would be ready soon, but we then saw her take fries out of their bag and place them into someone else's order. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager. The manager, who was cooking, said the order would be out shortly, but we were never given a clear explanation as to why it took so much longer--especially since they ordered the same smash burger as others in our group. By the time their food arrived, everyone else had already finished eating. We've visited before when it was much busier and didn't have any issues, which made this experience surprising. The burgers we received on time were delicious, but the fries were not fresh. Overall, it just seemed like an off night, and unfortunately, the service didn't meet expectations. read more

This place was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted nothing fancy and no seafood. We had our fill of both and also wanted a cheaper option on 30 A. Basic burger menu with a plant based burger option. Basic fries and really good shakes. Our cheapest meal yet on vacation. read more

We have been laughing so hard about how this $20 meal was the best we've had all week compared to all the other $200 ones! Such a cute and clean place too!! The fries come in the biggest cup, make sure to share them. read more

Terrible service. Stupid expensive. Cold burger, they make their chocolate milkshakes with chocolate ice cream. When I asked it they did that, somewhat of a nasty response of 'yes'. You're better off going to McDonalds. read more

They were busy and the wait was long, but food was great and people were friendly! Got the plain cheeseburger with a heap of fries and a frozen lemonade. read more

Tried the double patty smash burgers, one on buns and one on potato bread, and they were both pretty good! We also got the fries and tater tots and they come in these huge cups! We weren't expecting such big portions on the sides but you can definitely split them between 2-4 people. The Oreo milk shake was also good but overpriced imo. Unless they're made with some organic milk or a reason to justify the price. I recommend this place if you're looking for a good meal, nothing fancy, and away from the more crowded restaurants. It is more expensive than what I normally pay for a meal like this but we ordered an extra side (tater tots), bacon on both burgers, and the shake so that added on pretty quickly. read more

The servers were very engaging, the burgers done perfectly! Loved the sauces and thin fries. The only reason for the 4 is the speed of service and I did not see a clean up member to keep spaces tidy. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This place has a pretty dang good cheeseburger and is fairly priced for the area it's in. French fries are five guys style - a small is good for 2-4 people in my opinion. This is probably my favorite burger spot in the area and I live about 20 miles away - so it's a big compliment for a large radius. Service is easy - you can even order at a kiosk to skip a line. Ambiance is cool, open kitchen and very clean. read more

They use the freshest of fresh ingredients and cook everything to order. I especially like the how they use a special blend of ingredients to coat the chicken tenders before frying them to a crispy golden color. Delicious! read more

SO MUCH FRIES! The chicken sandwhich was heavenly and we tried their signature sauce and it was also amazing 10/10 read more

Wanted to place a carry out order but the app didn't work and no one answered the phone. The hours on the web site said they were open. read more

This is the closest thing to shake shack in the panhandle . It's really good just they don't have very many locations . And it's a lil pricey for a burger . The staff here are pretty nice . Overall good Burger but it needs more locations . read more

The food was amazing, one of the best burgers I've had!!! However, the service leaves a little to desire. The guy who took our order was all smiles and super helpful but when I pay for my to-go order and didn't give a tip, he literally just left, wouldn't talk to us anymore, we wanted refills and he ignored us. Food great, they need to work on service!!! read more

Great millennial burger I could taste the man bun in the burger it was delightful!!!!!

I always enjoy getting a good meal from Friends 30A, whether it's takeout, dine-in, or catered. The service is great and everyone that I have met is friendly and helpful. read more

Really a bottle of water is $4.50? Does it need to be Fuji? A future deal breaker as burger and water was over $19 read more

Family and I were in for the week, and each sibling was responsible for one night's dinner. My wife and I had originally thought about another burger place on the beach, one with great reviews, but they had some technical issues and were forced to close for a few days unexpectedly. Having to pivot, we found Friends 30A as it was in the same shopping center as the Publix we were using to stock up the house. We went in to check the place out, everything seemed cool, and so we hit them up in person for an immensely complex order - eight adults, everything particular, 6 kids all with various meals and toppings, sides, the whole deal. We ordered and set a pickup time, and could not have been more impressed. It was ready right on time. Price was right, especially for all we got. Everything, to the smallest detail, was perfect and correct...and delicious! The numerical system on the receipt made figuring out what was what super easy. It was one of the best meals of the trip, everyone loved it, and we would absolutely go back. The team was professional and personable - what a great experience! Thanks! read more

Ordered a root beer float & a milkshake...waited 15 mins and no one started to make it yet...we were the only ones waiting on food...when we asked the worker rolled his eyes and said "oh my god". then continued to just give ice cream Very underwhelmed for 30A read more

My favorite chicken strips probably anywhere, burgers great too! Really nice staff and good sauce and service. Used to go here all the time before moving. read more

Excellent food. Service was kind but took a bit to get our food, overall worth the wait! You get a ton of fries, you can absolutely share!!

The burger was very good and the register person was very accommodating. The burgers are pricey though...$14

The burgers and sides were not only flavorful but were perfectly cooked and served promptly with a smile. We will certainly return on our next visit to the beach. read more

One of the best smash burgers I've had, patties are a little thin so get a double, great char and soft buns!

Hands down this place wins for best bun. Really good. Smash burgers are good... we got basic two patties, two slices American and everything on it. Lots more to discover here - turkey burgs, chicken sandwiches, custom milkshakes. They have beer, margaritas and other alcoholic bevies and "coming soon" are boozy milkshakes... will come back for these. ;) Something to work on... The menu is way too wordy and confusing. Too many options, arrows pointing in different directions, etc. My teenage son couldn't figure it out and asked me to order for him. read more

Good food, service, and atmosphere. I had a triple burger with cheese. Patties were thin and delicious! Cheese melted very well! The friends sauce is SO GOOD!!! They have several TVs inside which made dining in a good option. I had a triple with cheese, fries and a tea. Tab was $21 before a small tip...not too out of line for this area. read more

The best burger I've had in my life. Literally delicious. We came here on day 1 of vacation and came back every day. The burgers are simply amazing and the staff is the best. They knew our names and greeted us with our names and gave us a friendly farewell on our way out. Both the indoor and outdoor dining areas were clean and comfortable. I absolutely loved the food here and will definitely be back next time I am in the area. To the owner- if you are reading this, and interested in making this a franchise... LET ME KNOW! I am serious. I would love to bring this restaurant to St. Louis MO. Then all over!!! read more

We live close by and keep trying this place and every time the service is terrible. No one comes to greet you, they are always late on your food when you order online, and the order is always wrong. Once again today we ordered it was ten minutes late and it was wrong. While we stood there waiting we got to watch the cook put food in his mouth, scratch his bear, take off his gloves put more food in his mouth, and then put the same gloves back on to return to cooking. Today was the last try. read more

Absolutely incredible! My husband and I tried this place tonight. I got a double burger with cheese, lettuce, pickles, and friends 30a sauce. He got a triple with cheese, pickles, & 30a sauce. We both got fries--beware the fry sides are HUGE (served in a large cup) and we certainly would've shared one side had we known. Our burgers were incredible and the fries were very crispy. The 30a sauce was amazing, similar to canes sauce but a little spicier. The staff were so kind as well. 100000% recommend this place! read more

Such a great smashburger! And the tater tots were the best - large order, crispy and hot!

If you like waiting 20 minutes for your order and paying $17 for a burger, fires and small drink, you'll love this place. It seems to take 20 minutes whether they are crowded or not. I tried ordering by phone this week and that took 12 minutes to go through multiple phone trees and then wait literally 4 minutes for someone to pick up the phone. And when I arrived they had more workers than customers. You'd expect great food after waiting that long, but the fries are often room temperature and not fresh and hot. There are a number of full service restaurants nearby with better burgers and fries served faster for the same price. I prefer a juicy burger and the ones at Friends are smashed flat so about an inch of the burger sticks out from the bun and they are dry. But somehow the buns feel greasy. read more

Burgers were great. Loved the sauce. Also, glad they had gluten free bun option for my wife. Side of fries is more than enough to split between two people. Shake was good. Not sure I'd pay $8.50 for it again, but still tasty. read more

Food was delicious but extremely overpriced.. Menu was pretty small. We got 2 cheeseburgers, 1 hotdog and 2 orders of fries and 2 drinks and paid $76.00. I wasn't super impressed with the ambiance or the fact that we had to wait in a line and order similar to a Wendy's but pay a steakhouse price. . Would NOT recommend ( unless they lower their prices) read more

Very disappointed. The ambiance was great, very sleek, bright, well designed and extremely clean. The food - meh! The burgers had no seasoning and I guess their flavor was supposed to be derived from their crunch. They were served in a styrofoam container (maybe to hold all the grease?). My burger was supposed to have fried onions, but I couldn't find any. No tomatoes or lettuce? I didn't realize you had to order that. The French fries were easily outclassed by McDonald's, but were twice the price. I ordered mine with cheese sauce. That's what they call melted Velveeta cheese with little flecks of green (possibly jalapeños?). I will say that the staff was extremely nice and helpful. read more

Quite possibly the worst burger joint I've ever been to. Looked interesting from the outside, turned out to be just pretty plain factory-produced burgers and fries, cost nearly $100 for four. Wished after eating there that I had just walked into McDonal's instead. Owned by the same group that owns Amici / Amigos 30a, so the same factory-quality fare aimed at tourists. Given that, I guess in retrospect I shouldn't have been surprised. If you like quality food, save yourself the disappointment of walking into this place. read more

I got the "best friend" burger with the friends 30A sauce on the side and a fry. This burger was really good - the bun, the burger & cheese. It did not taste greasy and the fries were hot and fresh. I will definitely be back. It's definitely expensive for a fast food burger restaurant but not surprising considering the location. read more

good food slow service. have to wait 20 min for a milk shake. n.

We did the hatrick! We hit Amigos, Amici's, and now the burger bar! The food was awesome and the kids loved the shakes of course. The fries were delicious but we ordered too many- 1 order can feed 3-4 people!! My kids really liked the cheese sauce for the fries- don't see this often. The service was great and we enjoyed the outdoor dinning tables with big screen TV's! read more
