Friendly’s

I posted the picture of the onion rings I was served a few weeks ago in the photos. I went w my husband and my son and it was terrible. The service was okay but the food was awful. My husband’s Ruben was grilled on one side and barely on the other and there was no 1000 island dressing. The sauce on the buffalo chkn was terrible, my onion rings were BURNT, and the quesadillas were not like I remember them. Being in the business for years as a server I wouldn’t have allowed the onion rings to leave the kitchen. Needless to say we won’t return.

Filthy bathrooms, filthier tables and windows. Staff was ok but slow. Food was good but took forever (45 minutes for sandwiches, when we were 1 of 3 tables in the place) Won’t go back because place was too dirty. What a shame because the prices were good and ice cream selection was great.

Stopped at this location today to have a Reese’s sundae and reminisce about my childhood. Granted I haven’t had one of these for at least 5 years, I remember them being topped with a good amount of pnb and hot fudge. This sundae was lacking and left much to be desired! It was three big scoops of vanilla, which face it, is just ok. There was a small drizzle of toppings, which was not worth $ 7.
My partner did not even receive the correct ice cream flavors and also had a sundae lacking toppings. I don’t think I would return, ever.

Party of three’s Pennsylvania wine tour sadly ends here to attain substance.
Franchise chain known to the Northeast with standard American staples: burgers, fries, salads, pastas, chicken, meats and is kid friendly. I ordered a turkey club $ 8.29 while my friends had the BLT, BB American and we all detox with water. Service is attentive and friendly. I opt out of taking my many leftovers as the wine was overpowering over my appetite and bodily functions. If I were sober and lived nearby within Pennsylvania borders I would surely order my favorite Friendly’s dessert– watermelon roll!

Friendly’s in general fall into that restaurant category we all have called «It is what it is».
Meaning of course that you know it’s never going to wow you and sometimes it even disappoints beyond belief but the price is not too bad and the menu is diverse enough to please everyone.
The prices at Friendly’s are on the higher side but they also have a rather large amount of coupons available through various avenues so if you’re paying full price then either you’re an idiot or you’re just not trying too hard.
The service during our visit this week was fine. Drink refills were offered without asking and dirty/​empty plates were removed equally fast. The food was a bit slow to come out but there’s really no fault on anyone as the place was mobbed.
Menu wise the food is mostly a nutritional wasteland of crap but if you dig there are a few things you can get that won’t close your arteries instantly.
As mentioned by other reviewers ice cream here is supposed to be the star of the show but two things worth noting:
1. The prices for the ice cream ala carte are steep. If they are doing some sort of a deal where a sundae is included you should jump on it because it’s worth it.
2. If you order some of their «lesser» flavors expect to taste the yumminess called freezer burn because some of the flavors simply do not move.
Past that this is a solid three star place to go when you have people who want a bunch of different things or on a night when you don’t care what your food tastes like as long as it’s edible.

A chain known to the North East. The food is sub-​par and not many healthy items offered. But one usually goes there for the tasty ice cream desserts after wards, as they are the main draw. They do have a window in the front area, where you can order ice cream items to go. Just in case you don’t have plans to dine there. The service is always good. There is also a freezer with pre-​made ice cream treats and ice cream cakes available to take home.

Pretty decent food. Great sundaes! The sundaes are never consistent because it depends who makes them. our very nice server didn’t put as many crunchies on top of our sundaes like the other servers do. But he was also nicer than the other servers. This is my favorite frendly’s location in the valley.
