Feeling all the nostalgia at Friendly’s. It has always been one of my favorite spots growing up, and their food and ice cream is just as good as I remember! I started with their sample platter (pick three) and got the iconic mini mozzarella sticks, chicken quesadillas, and loaded waffles fries. For an entree, my mom got the crispy chicken wrap with fries, and I got the featured fav, patty melt with onion rings and thousand island dressing on the side to dip (10/10 recommend). Under no circumstances should you leave Friendly’s without getting ice cream — their classic monthly sundaes always hit, but I also tried one of their new unique creations, the ice cream nachos with fresh strawberries and bananas, and caramel and chocolate sauce.

Sticky, unclean table. Overpriced. Cost almost $50 for a sandwich with fries, 2 sodas and a munchie something appetizer. Bathroom smelled like raw sewage. Taste was good though.

Updating review to let you know being under staff is still a problem. People are leaving as I write this review. 10 people just left. We're being ignored and there are only 2 waiters so I can't blame them. You need to pay better or something. Poor waiters are running around like crazy. Food is great. Always seems short staffed and servers are doing multiple jobs which delays even bringing you the check when you need to leave.
