I arrived to the building and sat in the pick up area ready to wait for my food. A woman approached the counter and asked me if I was here for a pickup order. I told her I was but I was early. She said nothing to me, just turned around muttering under her breath about how much it annoys her when people come early. She was talking so much and so loudly it was clear she wanted me to hear her. I was trying not to listen and it was making me uncomfortable and sad. I did nothing wrong for her to be mean to me. 20 minutes later, well after my pickup order was due to be done, a man came over and asked me if I was helped. I told him I was waiting for my order and he grabbed a bag of food that was waiting for me probably about ten minutes. I don’t know why that lady was so mean to me and why she didn’t hand me my bag when she knew it was done. On top of all of this, the food amount was very little! I expected a white container full of fries and my sandwich. Instead I got this pathetic sized bag with a cup full of maybe 10 fries. The utensils I requested nowhere. For $15.55 I was expecting more fries.
I’m really upset about this all and it ruined me day. It costs nothing to be kind, I’ve had bad days at work and I was never mean to a stranger.

My experience was exactly how I remembered it from when I was a child. Did my meal taste like elevated McDonals? Yes. Was it weirdly cold? Also yes. But that’s the nostalgia of it all. It really made my month when I received my monster mash sundae. He was so cute I didn’t want to eat it, but I did and it was delicious! My server was very nice but I don’t remember her name. I wish though however the adult meals were as fun as the children’s meals. I remember as a kid everything was displayed in a fun and cute way, but the adult chicken fingers and fries are just thrown on the plate, which is a little disappointing. The restaurant was decorated really cute and I overall loved the vibes! I can’t wait to go back when I visit again.
Side note: the last picture is stickers we got out of the machine and they were so cute. This machine was a fun part of my Friendly’s experience. I love Friendly’s and I’ll always recommend it to others!

I frequent this Friendly’s with my daughter every time she has a doctors appointment and it is always great. Tina is my FAVORITE server and she always makes it extra special for my little girl. Thank you for the consistent great service

On our way back to NJ from Maine, we stopped to grab a bite to eat. We saw a Friendlys sign and turned into the plaza to park. We got excited as there’s no longer any near us anymore and we loved the food.
That wasn’t the case here. My husband ordered the chicken melt and I ordered an appetizer, the fried ravioli with a black and white milkshake and both were unimpressed. My food didn’t taste anything like it should (fried ravioli) and my husband’s chicken melt wasn’t edible, and definitely shouldn’t have been sent out looking like that.
Although they (the manager) apologized endlessly-that only helps so much. The service had been extremely slow and at one point, we even felt like our waitress just wasn’t coming over to our table.
They did refund us for the chicken melt but that should be expected with the way it looked. Not only does that mess up fall on staff working up front, but the kitchen staff as well as they sent it out looking like it did.
We left disappointed and hungry but at that point, not for food here. Hopefully the food gets better.

Wanted to purchase box ice cream from Friendly’s,but there was not so much variety, (maybe stocked out), bought Neapolitan (Box Ice cream).Surprisingly, it was bit pricey compared to Walmart (Idk, why).
But,taste is quite good.Overall, hope to visit there again.

A true, classic dining experience. Friendly’s has been doing this for a long time and they are very good at what they do. I stopped in for ice cream and the Reese’s Pieces Sunday is always on point. Go here for dinner or ice cream and you will not be disappointed.

We attended my son’s school fundraiser and found the staff to be exceptional and very welcoming. However, I was not impressed with the food. My son’s order of chicken tenders with fries included a minimal serving of fries. I ordered the turkey supermelt, which appeared to have been hastily assembled when it arrived. The ice cream, on the other hand, was delicious

My server Nick was amazing!! He made sure we had everything we ordered and apologized if anything took longer to get to us. The food was really good, I recommend the honey bbq burger it gets a 10/10 from me.

The staff is so wonderful here. My adult son has special needs but they have no problem giving him the kids menu.. They also should call the salad $1,000, 000 Cobb Salad instead of $100,000 Cobb Salad because it’s so chuck full of goodness.
