Your Only Friend sits at 1114 9th St NW in Northwest Washington, running a sandwich menu alongside a full cocktail program. The board plays with names — Hot Nug, Chicky Pep No. 2, Caul Me Maybe, Spicy Panes con Pavo — paired with drinks like the Clarified Orange Julius and Amaretto Sour.
Regulars point to the cacio e pepe fries as a standout alongside the sandwiches, and the cocktail program draws its own attention, with local write-ups noting creative flavor combinations and a distinct southern-leaning feel to the room.
Washingtonian named Your Only Friend among the city's best in 2025, and Michelin awarded it a Bib Gourmand the same year.
