It's been a while since I've visited Friendly's. I got a chuckle at the sign which said something like save room fir ice cream..you've been warned. No excuses. Not those words but the meaning was there. Kudos to them for coming up with a catchy slogan. I noticed the menu changed. The tuna melt I used to love is no longer available which was disappointing. I chose the fried chicken salad. It was just OK. Plenty of tender chicken above a bed of kettuce. A few tomatoes wedges and plenty of crunches. The ranch dressing was very watery, which made it seem like it was watered down with milk. For me, the salad just didn't come together as I expected it would. It was like eating chicken tenders with a side of lettuce. It appeared there were only three employees working. One at the greeter desk who was also serving and ringing people out and two in the kitchen. Huge kudos to them as the food was served on a very timely manner. The waitress was just OK. She checked on us multiple times but wasn't overly friendly. Additionally she wore a large amount of perfume which made my husband have to hold his breath every time she stopped by due to his allergies. Friendly's is a staple restaurant which has been around forever. So we will continue to visit, we just have to find new favorites.

Friendly's was always a family favorite for me. There is something about the Honey Bbq Super melt that keeps me coming back. However, lately I have been really disappointed. The food is very much so over priced. For example, this is what $13.43 worth of "loaded" waffle fries looks like. Pathetic really, especially when I paid extra for extra cheese.... The Honey BBQ Chicken Supermelt did not have any bacon on it, the tenders weren't coated in honey BBQ and there was no ranch on the melt! The Supermelt cost me $14.19. When I arrived to pick my order up, I counted at least 5 employees, and the restaurant was basically empty as far as customers go. There was no excuse for food to be sent out the door looking like this. Needless to say, I won't be returning for lunch anymore. EDIT: I left the same feedback on the website the day this happened (provided by the owner on every negative review). We will see if I receive a proper response (so far it's been 3 days with no response, I highly doubt I will get one).

Wow, I never ever thought I would give Friendly's a one star review. We were in town in July and were sad to see it closed. When we came back last week we were happy to see it open again (too bad not for B-Fast). We were seated promptly and forgotten promptly. A waitress (who appeared new) finally came to get our drink order. Then we waited another 15 minutes to order and we had to ask her to take our order. She seemed flustered. When the meal finally arrived it was bad. I ordered fish and chips with fries and coleslaw ( I don't normally eat many fries) why this is significant, she put in I wanted DOUBLE fries and no coleslaw. The fish was cold in the middle and inedible. Forget about complaining. No one was around to do even that. No refills on drinks and we had to get up and practically leave to get a check. We will not return.
