★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dee Tait · Nov 2025

This is the second time I have had issues with the food quality. First time it was a BLT with one half piece of bacon and a tsp of mayo on one side of the sandwhich. This time we ordered the pickle chips - and this is what we were served! Is this truly the portion size for an appetizer?? We had the same server who remembered the previous error. Yes they brought over an additional 8 fried pickles. The rest of the meal was fine. Maybe not worth going on a Sunday night?

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 The Wanderer · Nov 2025

Ive been coming to Friendly's for 57 years. Although their revamped menu is very good and we are pleased this location was not closed during their recent reduction in locations. We were very disappointed that the staff couldn't seat us despite 3 staff members seeing us standing at the counter. We actually walked out, which I never do! Ever! I can appreciate that staffing levels are limited these days and Friendly's generally has always had slower service, which we have always been willing to put up with because the food is good and ice cream exceptional, BUT YOU MUST SEAT YOUR CUSTOMERS or your business is going right out the front door. I learned this at 14 in my first retail job. Train the staff at the ice cream counter to come seat people if the waitresses are busy. Train the wait s

★★★★☆ 4.0 Set Green · Oct 2025

Grew up w friendlys as a kid and love the then chain now a rarity. They always have great ice cream for anyones taste. Service was kinda of slow. Maybe shorted staffed. The food/ burgers were good but not hot as if just cooked. Good prices and decent atmosphere. I would wish corp would put some money to fix up the building. Needs sone renovations from wall paneling coming off the wall. Tables a little unsteady. Menus not clean and the atmosphere is not clean feeling. TakE care of this location and brand.

It had a funny smell...but the charm of our waitress Aubrianna made up for it. Cheeseburgers were good, no complaints

★★★★★ 5.0 Cierra Walton · Aug 2025

We came in with three crazy kids and Abryanna was nothing short of amazing! She was super friendly, consistently checking on us, and kindly making sure that the kids were finishing their food before dessert came out- a friendly reminder which was exactly what we and the kids needed. We are so grateful for such a wonderful after a hectic day. Thank you Aubryanna!! We appreciate you.
