First I was sat at a dirty table. That was not wiped down and had food crumbs all over it. My husband and daughter ate and I wanted my food to go. My husband burger bread was so hard we could hear him tapping it with his fingers. The server gave us someone else bill. He got a banana split to go. We live 3 mins away. Came home and his banana split was sad looking. We spent $60 on a meal that wasn’t worth that. Won’t be going back!

Stopped at this Friendly’s while driving through for lunch. From the moment we walked in it was amazing. We had a wonderful server named Tina. She was happy, kind, and a lot of fun. We enjoyed every minute she was at our table. The food was amazing and whoever was in the kitchen needs credit as well, but the experience with Tina was what made this the best dining experience we have EVER had. She talked to us like she has known us for years. She jokes with the kids like she was their aunt. She made sure we were taken care of at all times even with other customers in the restaurant. And while listening to her speak with other customers I knew they were getting the exact same treatment. She is amazing and needs a raise or her own tv show. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely

It's interesting, walking in feels like a blast from the past, lots of happy customers. Funny though how Friendly's across the state are dwindling, many of them are unfriendly. I didn't find that here. I got the Maine Lobster Roll with fries, the fries were out standing!! Shoestring and seemed beer battered. The Lobster Roll was good but need more mayo. I got a small hot fudge sundae with butter crunch ice cream fore dessert, perfect.

Always love coming here! My comfort place for sure. Grew up coming here and never plan to stop! I appreciate the family vibe. I’m enjoying my mini mozz sticks with my boyfriend and couldn’t ask for anything more. Your staff is so lovely regardless of who we have the pleasure of having! Thank you friendlys for always being there for our low days🩷🩷

Hadn’t been to Friendly’s in a while due to slow service and food quality, but today was an exception to that. Alba our server was friendly and prompt with service and our order was prepared quickly and accurately! Our dining experience was far better than it had been in years! Heading back there soon.
