Your Only Friend

The Best Value Restaurants in Washington, D.C. in 2025

"Blending the laid-back feel of a neighborhood sandwich shop with the polish of a cocktail bar, Your Only Friend serves a cheeky menu—think sandwiches like the "Hot Nug" with chicken nuggets and Nashville hot sauce, the “Caul Me Maybe,” a roasted cauliflower number, or the "Mortz & Mootz" piled with mortadella, mozzarella and pickled red pepper jelly. Not everything is between the bread, and rotating specials might include blue cheese-brined wings with a crispy coating and their self-described strip mall-style garlic parm. Sides like Seattle fries and pimento dip, as well as bar snacks like miso Chex mix are a worthy order. The cocktail list is short but sharp, with drinks like the orange creamsicle-tasting Irish Cream Soda." - The MICHELIN Guide
