Friendly's

Stopped by the Friendly’s in East Meadow and had such a fantastic meal! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming—true to the name. You can tell they really care about making sure you have a great experience. I ordered the steak tips with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and everything was spot-on. The steak was juicy and flavorful, the mashed potatoes were buttery and smooth, and the broccoli was fresh and perfectly cooked. I also grabbed a side of onion rings that were super crispy and totally hit the spot. And of course, I had to finish it all off with a vanilla Fribble—classic, creamy, and just as good as I remembered from when I was a kid. It brought back all the nostalgic vibes! Great service, great food, and a really chill atmosphere. Definitely a go-to spot when I’m in the area.

I am trying to figure out a way to explain what the Friendly's experience is for those who have never been. The best I can come up with is imagine if a diner and Denny's had a love child. Friendly's has been around for years. I used to love going to it as a kid. I arrived at this one at about 5:00 on a Saturday. It was pretty crowded. The parking lot was full. As I look around, I see a lot of middle school, high school and families with children there. So it seems like the tradition of an attracting younger taste buds still holds true. A big part of that is they are known for their ice cream, although I used to love their burgers. With that in mind, I ordered the fish and chips. I know, who orders fish and chips at a Friendly's? ME! 😂. The other order at the table was a kid's meal. I thin

Extremely pleased with the food, staff and overall experience. However, I must add that they’ve gotten stingy with their icecream. I do not like ordering by oz. (Who knows weight and ate they really weighing it out), should still be by the scoop like. Large sundaes are not close to full bowl like they used to be (with their 5 scoop sunda) but yet are still pictured that way on the menus and ads on tables. Felt like there wasnt enough ice cream to go with its toppings. But wasnt so bad that wont stop me from returning. Still delicious 👍🏼

Stopped in for a late lunch with Mom. Friendly service from Sam. We enjoyed our Vanilla Fribble with a triple combo appetizer (mini mozzarella sticks, chicken quesadilla and chicken tenders) while we waited for our main course. I enjoyed my favorite, the Fishamajig platter. My wife liked her double Cheeseburger with bacon platter. Mom thought her hot lobster roll was lacking in flavor. We all split a Caramel Fudge Brownie Sundae dessert. Overall, it was a nice experience thanks to quality service and food. We will be back.

I haven’t eaten at a Friendly’s in a while and was pleasantly surprised. Avocado toast was delicious; sunny side egg on top was perfect. My husband enjoyed his food as well. Maureen took excellent care of us. We’ll be back soon!
