Ordered a banana split online for pickup, their online ordering system is pretty easy to use. My order was ready when I got there 10 mins later. The ice cream and toppings were great, I had requested no walnuts which was taken care of. The only thing that was not great was the inside of the restaurant smelled kinda gnarly, like a locker room, not sure what that was about.
It is so good. Service was great .We will come here more often. Yummm
Like going back into time! Me and my bestie came here for lunch and everything was wonderful. Our server, Elizabeth D, was so sweet. Place was extremely clean. Food and ice cream was fantastic. Super nostalgic for the two of us. Thanks!
This place is a gem! Man I wish they had these on the west coast. It feels like an old fashioned family restaurant back in the 70s or 80s where you could take the family out without breaking the bank, get good food, and dessert is included. I can't say enough about how the dessert is included with the kids meals. They're not just phoned in desserts, either. There are multiple options to choose from and they put time into every creation.
I stop here for fries and ice cream, and sometimes an Impossible burger, after work sometimes on Thursdays. The guy who helps me is so, well, friendly (heh) and so pleasant, I just love this place. There are so many people elsewhere who lack customer service skills (I work in a restaurant too and I have witnessed this in the industry many a time), it's so nice to see that no matter how big a line he has, he's always smiling and so nice. This dude is the best, and I look forward to coming here because of him.
Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience as most of these reviewers. I found myself waiting over thirty minutes to be even acknowledged in an absolutely dead dining area. There was literally one other patron in the entire restaurant and at least three staff present - two servers (female, one older one younger) and one cook (male, older). All three staff members had made eye contact with me at several points (the cook had to step away from the grill to give me the menu when I arrived, no less) so I can't imagine they did not know I was there. I made sure to change tables to have a direct line of sight to both kitchen and aisles, to increase visibility. The food was probably great, had I been given the opportunity to actually order and consume it.
An unassuming spot at first glance, and honestly I had never heard of friendlys, I don't think we have them in Canada. My wife was excited when we spotted one while away in Pennsylvania, so we stopped in. Walk in and we were seated promptly. The server was very friendly (which given the name I supposed I'd expect). Really 'on the ball', keeping drinks filled, checking in on how the food/desserts were. It sounds like basic service but honestly you don't get that as much as you used to. But I digress.. The food was quite good, and exceeded my expectations. I went for the triple cheese grilled cheese supermelt (I think it was called), and was delicious. Not too greasy, which was a bonus given the amount of cheese served on this thing. I got fries with it, and they were fine; standard stuff. The dessert menu is larger than most places food menus, and that's probably why you'll go there. I had a legendary chocolate brownie Sundae (or something like that), and it was very rich. A perfect finish for my meal. My wife got the "Hunka chunka pb fudge lava cake" and I'm just going to put a photo up because it was so vast I can't describe it in detail. Coming from Canada I have a hard time getting the jist of what "good prices/value" are in the USA, but now that we've been to a few places, it's quite good value for what you pay. Particularly on the dessert end. Both our desserts were 8.99 each, and I can tell you what you see in the photo would be 20 dollars or more in Canada, so go on and order it. I think my supermelt with fries was about $13 which seemed fair. I have read a little about Friendly's since our visit, and it seems they are disappearing, which is sad. I also read many reviews stating poor/ slow service, but again, the service we received was great. I'd love to see Friendly's in Canada. My main gripe is when it comes to atmosphere. We actually have made 2 trips so far, and both times, it was eerily quiet; no background music or anything. I'd like some sort of background sound, but that's a minor complaint. For a family diner/dessert spot, this is a good one.
Haven't been to a Friendly's in 20 years, We were surprised to find a menu with more than burgers and ice cream. My friend had a summer special, The Lobster Roll, which She enjoyed. I went with Turkey dinner, portion was good, and taste was flavorful, but was room temperature and Turkey my have been processed , not hand carved, but again it's Friendly's. A old fashioned milkshake was a treat.
