About Friendly's
Friendly's is a restaurant located at 1700 Burrstone Rd, New Hartford, NY 13413, USA. They can be contacted at (315) 733-4508 or +1 315-733-4508.
While the platform category is listed as "Chinese Restaurant," Friendly's is known for its American fare and ice cream treats, often considered a family-friendly establishment. However, recent customer reviews present a concerning picture regarding their food quality, delivery service, and cleanliness.
One customer who ordered delivery on April 1, 2025, described their breakfast melt as "disgusting," with improperly cooked eggs and an overall unappetizing presentation. They mentioned having ordered this item many times before with better results and warned others about potential issues with egg preparation for delivery orders.
Another review from October 27, 2024, detailed a very negative delivery experience via Grubhub. The "harvest stack" hot covered turkey arrived completely cold and tasted as if cold ingredients were simply covered in gravy. The packaging was also criticized as an open plastic bag. The reviewer also found the paper containers inadequate and their banana split to be mostly melted with an imbalanced flavor profile. They concluded that Friendly's delivery quality has significantly declined and advised against using their delivery service, suggesting that in-restaurant dining might be better. This customer felt the $40 meal was not worth the cost and recommended finding alternative options.
A more general comment indicated a past positive experience but noted a decline in food quality, urging Friendly's to improve.
An in-restaurant dining experience also had mixed feedback. While the waitress was praised as "very nice, sociable & attentive," the food received criticism. A tuna melt was deemed tasty but potentially lacking in tuna for the price, and the fries were considered overcooked due to old grease. Beef tips with gravy, onions, mashed potatoes, and broccoli were also ordered, with the mashed potatoes being described as very dry, requiring added butter. Furthermore, this reviewer's wife reported that the ladies' restroom was "completely filthy" with visible waste and an unclean sink area, suggesting a lack of recent cleaning.
Based on these recent reviews, local users should be aware of potential issues with food quality, especially for delivery, and concerns regarding the cleanliness of the facilities. While some aspects of service may be positive, the recurring themes of unsatisfactory food and poor hygiene are significant points to consider.

Customer Reviews
4/1/25 - ordered delivery. The breakfast melt was disgusting, no yolks at all one side of sandwich, two over cooked well done egg yolks on other side of sandwich. I've ordered this sandwich many times, the eggs were always over easy cooked so you had yolk to dip sandwich in. I'll attach pics if gross sandwich i received, I didn't even eat this disgusting mess of a sandwich. Be warned if no option on how to cook the eggs don't buy as you will get a messed up meal. 10/27/24 update, delivery via grubhub. The (harvest stack) hot covered turkey was completely cold, not even warm in the least. It could have been a delicious covered sandwich but not when it's so cold it tastes like they literally opened a can of gravy & just poured it over cold turkey, stuffing & mashed potatoes. It also came in an open plastic bag, not sealed at all. Not cool at all friendly's!! the paper containers the food comes in are horrible. The banana split was mostly melted & all you could taste was strawberries, no pineapples, marshmallow sauce or chocolate syrup. Just an all around horrible meal & dessert. Friendly's quality has completely gone to non existent. Maybe if eating in restaurant it may be better, but if getting delivery, just expect cold disgusting food & management that could care less! Deserves negative zero stars $40 is not a cheap meal. Find somewhere else to eat delivery because you will not be happy here. I used to never have issues with their food, Whatever the reasons, friendly's needs to do better..
First I have to say that are waitress was very nice, sociable & attentive to our needs. I had the tuna melt that tasted good. For $14 there could have been a little more Tuna on the sandwich. The fries we're a bit dark and I believe the grease needed to be changed in the fryer. My wife had some sort of beef tips with gravy, onions and mashed potatoes & broccoli. The mashed potatoes were very dry and my wife had to have butter so that she could moisten them up. Before we left my wife had to use the ladies room. As we walked to our vehicle my wife complained to me how filthy the ladies toilet bowl was with poop, toilet paper Etc all over the place. She also said that the sink area was completely filthy and looked like it had not been cleaned in quite a while. She said the ladies room was completely gross.
Friendly's has always been one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, they aren't nearby anymore. The food has always been very good and of course the ice cream is the best!
Nay Nay was absolutely AMAZING! She was friendly, she was accurate, she was thoughtful, she was timely especially dealing with such a big party we had. She deserves her flowers in an industry where customer service is going downhill and demand is at an all time high!
The Friendly's location in New Hartford, NY is hands down the BEST Friendly's that my family and I have ever had and we used to go to our local Friendly's multiple times a week before their HQ decided to shut them down. We drove almost an hour away from this location (Chittenango) to be exact just so my wife and I could have this particular sandwich. The wonderful lady Christine who took my phone order was being amazing! So we're Christine's co-workers. Again 5+ stars!!!! The sandwiches and fries were the best we have had period. Christine and her coworker's were top notch. So friendly and pleasant. If other Friendly's locations operated like the New Hartford NY location they would all still be open. Way to go Christine and team! Thank you for making our 2 hour round trip so worth it and for giving us such a memorable dining experience!!!!❤️
