Friendly Diner — Restaurant in Pittsfield

UDATED REVIEW. We went for breakfast again, but this time they had a roll up wheelchair ramp! Pleasant surprise! I ordered a breakfast sandwich sausage, egg and cheese with home fries. Julie ordered a spinach omelet with home fries and a grilled blueberry muffin. Drinks were oj and coffee. The home fries were very crunchy potato nuggets, really good, and my breakfast sandwich was excellent. Julie said that her omelet was right on point. The oj was good, source unknown ( bottled, fresh squeezed, concentrated) coffee was reported to be very good as well. So glad we decided to visit again! The ladies who served us were terrific, joking, trading stories, making us feel right at home. Atmospherically, not much can be done, it's a plain white dining room with nondescript furniture, but having said that, it's as clean as a whistle. It's been jokingly said that Pittsfield has a pizza joint for every street, but it isn't so. Check out the Friendly Diner. Get pizza...

I wanted to love it. Nice things: quaint and local and home made goodies. Service barely average. Left for a while after seated before being offered coffee.

I am a lover of potatoes and home fries. These coated ones felt like they weee dumped from a frozen Walmart bag and just fried in oil. Kind of cheap tasting. Texture and flavor is big in breakfast potatoes.

They offered me onions and peppers but look at the pic. It was weird. Since the potatoes are hard shelled (from fry batter) the veggies just sort of dumped on and fell off when picking them up with a fork. Kinda felt amateur.

I know it’s personal but griddle your home fries, so flavor of onions and peppers...

What a lovely experience from start to finish. My husband and I were in the area to drop our son at sleepaway camp and we stopped at Friendly Diner for lunch. Staff was very warm throughout our time there. Great food - my husband had pancakes and my son and I had burgers. The wait staff went the extra mile for us when my son spilled bbq sauce on his white shirt. They sprang into action, bringing me soda water and a cloth to fix him up. A visit we won’t soon forget. Thank you...
