    In need of some nostalgia so Friendly’s was always the go to spot growing up. Very disappointed by the whole vibe. Staff was incredibly rude. Our food took forever to arrive and they were out of most of the items we wanted. Portions were small and just the thrown on the plate, probably why most of them unfortunately have closed. Unfortunately the memories I had will have to just stay in the past. I won’t be coming back.

    Disappointing overall. Take a look at what 1 scoop of ice cream looks like now, it’s like 3 tablespoons and icy and cross contaminated. They also removed home fries from breakfasts so be prepared to pay an additional 2.99 for potatoes now.

    Paula provided an amazing experience! She was super friendly (pun not intended) and so knowledgeable about the area. The food came out super fast and was delicious. The only reason for the 4-stars vs 5 on the food is because the Honey BBQ Supermelt sauce didn’t taste quite the same as I remembered.

    I can't rate the service. I won't rate the service. Came in with my dad.... Staff (friendly) greeted me at window - but couldn't take my order because she didn't understand the language. "I get boss - you hold". The boss was the shift manager who was so apologetic and upset (understandably so). I took her recommendations (I didn't get her name - shes amazing). As she is taking order the employee was on phone with another flicking through something and dancing around. This comment has nothing to do with the manager she was apologetic and helping fill the jobs that the 2 weren't doing. She was amazing, and kept a smile on her face. Bravo to shift supervisor for doing it all..
