Goodfriend Beer Garden & Burger House

"Goodfriend has one of the great East Dallas patios. Pull up to a comfy picnic table and order from its expansive and ever-changing beer library, or just get one of the best burgers in town. Get a beer and bring the doggo if you like. The lot is notoriously often full, but there is additional parking around the back or across the street in the Goodfriend Package lot." - Rachel Pinn, Courtney E. Smith

"Looking for a beer garden and burger spot in the neighborhood? Can’t do better than Goodfriend. The Bourdain burger is legendary, but the Frito pie and wide array of wings are worth checking out. For those searching for a stellar breakfast sandwich, hit up the Goodfriend Package store across the street." - Courtney E. Smith

"For folks who are really into wings, this East Dallas mainstay offers a lot of different takes. Notably, you can get one wing in an “I Told You So” sauce made with Carolina reaper, scorpion, and ghost peppers. It comes with a no-refunds warning. Traditionalists, stick to the battered wings." - Courtney E. Smith, Amy McCarthy

"The Bourdain, named after Anthony, is a go-to order at Goodfriend. Conceived at the height of the smash burger era, it features two patties, American cheese, kewpie mayo, tomatoes, lettuce, and all the trappings. Pro-tip: get the sweet potato fries." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
