BIG EATS
Ok so I went to Friendly’s today for lunch trying to remember my childhood and see if it was the same. It pretty much was. The most enjoyable was the cup of New England clam chowder. Tastes just like I remembered it and was pretty good. My wife got the fishamajig and I got the patty melt, both came with fries. Overall mediocre but a lot of families with young children were coming in for lunch. It’s good to see some of the old s hook chains hanging in there. Nostalgic for me fun for the kids. The plus is you can get a good sundae before you leave for desert.

Went for lunch today. They have a lot of good options on their menu. We want to come back just to try some of the things since it was so hard to choose. I love that they do different monster sundaes. It brings back nostalgia from being a kid and going there! I would say for a Sunday; they should have more people on. There was a constant line at the door not being sat and our waitress seemed to have a bit too many tables to provide service that is necessary. Appetizers were delicious but took a half hour to come out. If they had more staffing I think this would have been 5 stars. Otherwise, I am happy with the food and atmosphere!

I came here today with my wife and daughter after a field trip. I now realize I definitely have a soft spot for Friendly’s and I appreciate that it seems unchanged since I was a kid in the 90s. Our server (colleen?) was awesome, the coffee was really good and I had bacon ranch quesadillos that hit the spot. Definitely would go here after a field trip again in the future, should the situation arise.

We have gone many times to Friendly’s. It is EXACTLY what it it is meant to be. Decent food, decent prices. Fun for families with kids, grandkids. Yummy ice cream. They have had a lot of challenges with staffing… but is better now than it was. Wait time for a table has DEcreased. Once you get to the table, the service is fine.

Was waiting in line on Saturday with my mother and this tall women with short hair come from the back to curse out another customer by the ice cream come to find out I asked the worker if that was a manager they said yes shame on you for making that your face of your restaurant. We ended up leaving wasn’t going to make a complaint but this hasn’t sat well with me. Even if customer was wrong way she spoke to them infront of everyone was not ok.

I asked for water with lemon. The lemon was rotten brown in color I wouldn’t even put it on the table if I was the waitress. I would have said we ran out of lemons. They just opened at 11 am this was 11:30 asked for a bowl of beef barley soup we just ran out. So I went with cream of broccoli soup. This was after 25 minutes waiting for anyone came to the table to wait on us. When I got the soup the cream was broke clumps and cold. Waitress never came back to the table to ask if everything was OK. Didn’t come till she dropped off the check. Friendly has never been like this and will not go back.

A remembrance of childhood.

Use to come to a local Friendly’s with my grandmother everyday after school when I was a kid, getting a grilled cheese sandwich with fries and then the reeses pieces sunday. That was 30+ years ago, times have changed, and so has Friendly’s.

Don’t get me wrong, I still adore the place, the old school feel of it all, but you can see the writing on the wall when you walk in and there’s only a single booth in use during peak dinner time hours.

But enough with that sad nostalgia, what about the food? Well I tried their Doritos Cool Ranch ChoppedCheese Burger, Onions Rings, and a Happy Ending Sunday. Total coming to just under $30, which is pretty standard for my Friday night endeavors.

The Cool Ranch Burger I replaced the patty with the Impossible version, since I’m not big on red meat, and overall my impression was “this is a mess, a mouthful of mess, but it’s kinda tasty.” It wasn’t as spicy as I expected given the presence of jalapeños, and it held together better than expected when first judged by appearances. The rings were perfect, crispy, crunchy, and great fried onion flavor. And the Sunday, which comes free with certain meals like this one, was a refreshing way to cap things off as I opted for the Peppermint Stick ice cream.

Overall I am full, satisfied, and mildly saddened by the decline of this once bumping east coast establishment.

Our service was by a young lady who had been working there since 16, soon to be 21. She was attentive to our needs and patient with our slow ordering as the selection of food is diverse. The food was plentiful and delicious. Of course, the atmosphere was friendly!

The loaded waffle fries. The fries were good. Everything else. Horrible. A homeless man wouldn’t even be able to down that. The cheese sauce was immaculately disgusting. Reminded me of bleach.
