I grew up with my parents taking my brother and l to this Friendly’s location, usually a celebration or simply a night off of cooking for my mom. Because of this, l always associated Friendly’s with happy times and have a deep affection for the chain. I understand the intervening years since the 1980’s have not been kind to the company, but they continue on and so do we. Tonight my wife and l had dinner here. The food was simple and tasty just as it’s always been. Our server, Lis, was a delightful young woman, pleasant and efficient and on point. And what trip to Friendly’s would be complete without some ice cream? That l can enjoy a meal and the same Reese’s Pieces sundae l remember 40 years later pleases me immensely. I do hope Friendly’s can pull off a turn around. It would be a shame for this piece of Americana to vanish. If you haven’t been to Friendly’s in a while, why not stop by and support this local establishment? I’m glad l did.

I placed an order on the phone and the young man who took the order was very pleasant and he was very careful the order was correctly aa I ordered when he read it back to me and then informed me that my order would be ready in 15 minutes ... I ACTUALLY surprised that the not only was it done and it was all made correctly. I have to say that the food was very good, fresh and still hot crispy when I got back to my home to eat it ... the best part of course was the black raspberry sundae at the end.Thank You Friendly's I will be return customer

I’ve been going here since I was young and I still love it. The interior is very nostalgic and the ice cream is delicious. The wait staff is always very friendly.

Friendly's used to always be packed. Nowadays the parking lot is always empty. I wanted their ice cream so we stopped there and had dinner too. The service was great. There were about 20 people there. Service was fast. The food was great and hot.

My family and I had lunch at this location and we were very satisfied with our server Kay. She was so sweet and kind. We knew she was the only one working along side the chef. We understood how busy she was. Nonetheless she was so pleasant and attentive. We will go back to this location just to see her!

Decent food, consistent quality and nice employees. It's a Friendly's so don't expect fine dining but it's a nice casual option less expensive than most.

Daughter and I went in for late lunch, 2 pm. Waitress was very nice and welcoming and our food was fine, sandwiches and one with a bonus sundae. Glad we stopped there.

Friendly’s has always been my go to place for a delicious sundae! I do also enjoy the crispy chicken salad with honey mustard dressing.. I have very fond memories of my grandmother bringing me, my sister and brother to Friendly’s when we visited over the summers, many years ago..We always had the cone head sundae after our meal. I to brought my own children to carry on this wonderful tradition.. Thank you Friendly’s for sticking around and keeping tradition stay alive..

I brought my kids for ice cream today. While sitting at our table minding our own business this old lady walks into the kitchen loud as hell and said did you see all of those kids at 35. All of those kids don't belong in a restaurant. She didn't even have the decency to walk far enough in where the tables couldn't hear her. She was far too worried about how many kids I have to even read the order and prepare the ice-cream correctly. While she was busy mocking my family my son sad there and ate the mint chocolate chip ice cream she brought him instead of complaining that he didnt get the cookie dough he ordered. I checked the receipt and the server put the order in correctly, but she must have been too busy looking at my table to look at the screen and do her job correctly. Haley was great. She gave us excellent service, but the fossil running food is one of the rudest people I've encountered in a while. She probably should have retired 20 years ago. I wasn't aware that large families don't deserve to be in restaurants like everyone else. My kids were pretty well behaved and polite that boomer could take some lessons from them.

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. Throwback to the old days of Friendly's. They need to relaunch and remarket this chain. It's has the quality and service of a local luncheonette and diner but with the consistency and menu of a modern chain. It is the best family restaurant that no one remembers or knows about. They nail it on every menu option, and the ice cream is still like the best ice cream parlor. We had young people with us, and they agreed. The food is super fresh and tasty, and the service is incredible and local. I wanted a Swiss Patty Melt which is no longer on the menu (not sure why, since it was Friendly's signature burger and is truly up there amoung the best) and Lori the manager who has been working for Friendly's for over 40+ years remembered it and made it for me (can't make this up.) It was even better than I remembered and the frys were also incredible. Speaking of Lori, another throwback is the incredible training she must have had. She managed the restaurant like it belonged to her own family. You truly feel like you are back in the 60/70s where the food is real, and they know your name.
