Stopped by Friendly’s for a family lunch and had a really pleasant experience. Our waitress was wonderful, attentive, polite, and made sure everything came out just right. The food arrived quickly and was fresh. My burger had good flavor but leaned more toward a patty style than the hearty, all-American burger I usually expect from Friendly’s. My sister loved her chicken sandwich, and my niece was thrilled with the kids’ meal, especially the broccoli, mac and cheese, and grilled chicken. Great service overall and a comfortable family spot I’d return to!

on this occasion we made the decision to visit this friendly restaurant with the whole family, which children eagerly awaited the ice cream. our experience was very pleasant. We were a group of 12, five adults and seven children, in which they accommodated us very well.
Personally, he is craving chicken, with salad, and to finish off a milk shake. we all enjoyed the food.

Haven’t been to Friendly’s in years! We were so happy to find one that was still open. The place was busy with lots of families with kids, staff was very friendly. We had the iconic Fishamajig and a clam strip platter – our food was great! Happy ending desert was just right! Can’t wait to come back again!

I grew up going to this Friendly’s, and it had been years since I had visited. My fiancé and I visited to have ourselves a little nostalgia meal, and I have to say I was impressed to find it lived up to my memory. The chicken tenders were so good, and I was impressed that the mini mozzarella sticks had such a good cheese pull to them, they didn’t just break off in the breading! This was my first time trying their “adult” mac and cheese, and it was actually so good in a white cheddar sauce! We couldn’t finish our meal without some ice cream, so we got the seasonal Conehead and it really hit the spot. Though the building has been remodeled a bit, I was happy to find the booths were still the same, and the staff was so nice that took care of us. I don’t see us letting so many years go by until our next visit anymore!

Having not set foot in a Friendly’s for about 20 years my fiancé and I nearly dropped dead from excitement when we walked inside. Holy nostalgia, batman. If you are a 90s baby you have to stop here just because. If you like an easy meal without all the fluff then this is a great choice. There’s something for everyone. Typical chain food, but prepared with care. Our server was an absolute doll! She was overwhelmed when the lunch rush came in, but she handled it well. The ice cream, guys. I mean, if you like a beautiful sundae complete with the works then this is the place for you. My fiancé was in heaven over their reese’s pieces sundae. Stop by and be kind to the staff!
