Friendly’s

The worst service ever we were standing waiting to be seated it was half empty never got seated! Left after waiting so long

What a bunch of lazy people here! I waited in line for 8 minutes to be seated in a half empty reastaurant. I sat at the bar figuring it would be quicker… nope…the 2 lazy fat girls kept their conversation going while sipping their DD iced coffees… seiously, this is the norm nowadays with this type of service… maybe she didn’t want to break her nasty, ugly 2″ fingernails nails… this place is a dump…

Went for a burger and ice cream.
Took 5 minutes to sit us down even tho there was one other family in the entire restaurant. The menus were sticky and tables near by were not cleaned off our entire stay. We ordered buffalo tenders for an app which were cold and not spicy. My boyfriend got their version of a «Reuben» which had no meat on it. I got a burger which was cold and on the way home got pretty bad food poisoning from. Needless to say did not get ice cream and will not return.

I came here to order take out. The manager Sue took care of me. My food was made quickly and it was perfect, just how I ordered it!

Couldn’t believe how poor the service was. AND then when I asked someone to wait on me I got attitude! Will NEVER go there again!
And then the take out order was not even what we had ordered! Got my money back and left. What a shame!

Customer service is NOT a focus at this location. Arrived with 5 children and waited to be greeted and seated while servers were counting money. Service was slow and inattentive. Food was prepared well though.

While we had a very nice server, there was a little bit of a wait for food, when restaurant seemed really slow. We didn’t order anything major, just a sandwich & fries with a kids hotdog meal. Our plates could’ve been bigger. We both got about 10 fries each, tops. Still a great Turkey Club SuperMelt, (hold the dressing) The Cotton Candy icecream my lil one ordered was really yummy too.

We met my sister and her family here and everything was as expected. Food is usually good and service is extremely slow which worked out well for us so we could spend some time together chatting. If you’re in a hurry or don’t have a more than an hour to spend you may want to pass. Another great reason for visiting Friendly’s is for their ice cream. Very kid friendly and prices are fair and value is good.

I have this love hate relationship with friendly’s. I tend to stay far far away from them as I do not feel that they are high quality restaurant. At the very most they are a badly run family style chain restaurant. What keeps me coming back is the ice cream. There’s something very comforting about sitting down with the family and having a clown Sunday or chocolate frappé. It’s those things that I learned to appreciate with this restaurant.
On this particular occasion I was in a rush as I only had an hour before I need to be somewhere. I met up quickly with my family and grab some quick launch. The waitress is very attentive and considerate of my time frame. The food came out hot and the drinks came out cold, I call that a pretty good day for Friendly’s

I rarely go to friendly but on occasion I do I try to go in early afternoon to avoid crowds. Why because it takes forever for your food to come here. Yesterday food came within 10min of order app which was loaded waffle fries-​piping hot and food came about 6−7min later which was great with a 2.5yr old. I had the Reuben sandwich on a whim. I mean who gets a Reuben at friendlys? Lol… It wasn’t bad. I’m not one for sourkrawt but gave it a go. I mean again why not at a friendlys. I would give taste and crunch a 3 out of 5 if there where star ratings. Tasty sauce not over powering. Meat could have been better, maybe tender is the word, sauce could have been better. Fries are the same here with any place. Salty, good snap. Also shared a strawberry shortcake ice cream sundae with chocolate ice cream. Ice cream nice smooth texture no hard frost bite lumps you sometimes taste at ice cream shoppers if not used in a while. Overall ok service. All the waitstaff was in corner talking about credit reports but it was slow so I’m assuming they where bored there where only 3 tables in total while we ate.

Basic simple food! Great for kids which is the best part! Ice cream is always a plus and yummy! How can you go wrong with ice cream!

I love Friendly’s! Typically whenever you go to this chain, the food is exactly the same. And the ice cream! You cannot go wrong with the ice cream. Delicious!

Nice… Finally, a Friendly’s that can make an actual Loaded waffle fries feel worth the price! :D

Food was good and came really quick. The waitress was nice and attentive. Everything went well this time.

Place is gross very dirty wait staff is usually the manger but wait time isn’t bad. Price is reasonable and conveniently located

Other than grabbing ice cream, the only time I will eat here is when it’s breakfast time! Their breakfast is really good!!! I was highly disappointed though at the fact they don’t have hot sauce! I couldn’t eat my omelet without the hot sauce lol but the home fries are really good! French toast is really good too!

OK so came here tonight for a nostalgic little fried dinner and ice cream. Everyone was SO friendly and the food came out at a rapid pace (if I’m being picky, too fast). I don’t typically review chains unless it’s really bad or really good, but everyone from the host to the waitress to the manager was ridiculously friendly and we gave our girl a 50% tip.

This Friendly’s I have been to several times over the years and never really had a good experience NORMALLY we have wait over 40 minutes to be served-​even for breakfast and each time I dont go back for at least a year and then each time i go again I get aggravated with the slow service. But my mother in law likes it so I give in.
Went there today for lunch and there were flies in the dining room — not a couple a bunch-​at least ten flying around the booths in the restaurant area —
D I S G U S T I N G !!!
Flies only mean one thing there is food residue never cleaned or trash left sitting out or something NOT sanitary there. I’m done we are never going back.
Should NOT have to be swatting flies away while we are eating. Thanks — all set.

Friendly’s is now dead to me. It’s over, I’m not ever setting foot into one ever again. I seriously can’t wait until they all just shut down and something better takes their place.
I’m not a fan of Friendly’s really, but my husband really wanted clam strips. We were seated next to a screaming child – which I understand wasn’t their fault, but it definitely didn’t help matters.
There was absolutely NOTHING on the menu I was even remotely interested in. I am a salad person, but I typically don’t get salad here. Why? There’s too much crap to pick out of their salads! It’s easier for them to just give me a plate and let me pick out what I LIKE rather than what I don’t like, and by the time you’ve done that it’s not even a meal. It’s usually either wilted and brown, or extremely dry – neither of which is what I would call a «fresh» salad.
I wanted to select something, mainly because I knew if I didn’t eat anything, my husband would be disappointed and wouldn’t order anything and we’d leave. I asked for the soup of the day. She replied with Chicken Noodle, Chilli, and Clam Chowder – which are not soups of the day, they have those everyday. I asked her again, saying I know those are the regular soups, but what is TODAY’S soup. Apparently they never have a «soup of the day» despite what the menu says. Ok, well condensed soup is better than their chicken noodle, they use old burgers for their chili, and I’m allergic to claim chowder… fail.
Ok, fine… I asked for fried shrimp which is typically fine here, if not a bit soggy – palatable though. Apparently they have eliminated this item from the menu.
I tried again, asking if I could get the crispy chicken wrap in a regular wrap – not a tomato wrap because I think tomato wraps are disgusting. Nope. I can’t even get a regular wrap??? Seriously? I’ve had burgers 3x this week and most of the time they under-​cook their burgers, so I couldn’t go with that option. I told my husband I’d just get fries – though he knows I think their fries suck so he shook his head.
I finally just gave up – I said there was absolutely nothing on the menu I was even remotely interested in and we walked out. This place is pathetic.

I wanna go to Friendly’s!!! Gag.. . annoying commercial. Fortunately the restaurant is very much the opposite of that! Excellent service and satisfying food and desserts. Came here recently for an ice cream sundae indulgence on a coupon spree (Buy one 3-​scoop sundae, get one free!). We were seated and waited on immediately.
This Friendly’s has a cute, old-​fashioned looking bar stool area to partake ice cream creations as well as the traditional booths. Our waitress was new to the job and had not been jaded by long hours and fussy customers just yet. Meaning.. . we were waited upon quickly, all of our questions answered, and desserts served promptly.
I never know whether to leave the money for the check on the table here.. . or to bring it up to the cash register near the front. It’s never clearly indicated. If you can endure eating your ice cream surrounded by young couples on dates and small screaming babies accompanied by large families, then you won’t mind visiting here!
Friendly’s is always an easy choice.. . a happy medium for groups to meet up and enjoy a little time together.
