The patty's don't taste fresh, the fries were shriveled and looked like wet toes that have been in the pool all day, and you only get one small condiment cup of ketchup for the burger and fries (.25 for each additional)! My kids had bacon burgers and the quality of the bacon was just as poor and rubbery. The ice cream order was also incorrect :( Nothing complicated, just two cones with one scoop and we were the only ones there at the time.

And don't forget about the ice! They always have a variety of flavors ranging from the traditional grape, cherry to the more interesting peanut butter, mango & pumpkin pie.

Everyone is always very friendly. both eat in and take out orders are completed in a very timely manner. My wife & I love this place.

The kids menu is amazing and they have several items to entertain kids like an activity sheet and spoons that change color. There are so many offerings and specials for adults. The ice creams and toppings are all delicious. I even got a lobster roll as a take out item for my mom and she loved it! The fried ravioli wasn't all that fried but the onion rings, fries and chicken tenders were great! I chose a sort of grilled cheese fish sandwich that was very tasty. My bill was so reasonable that I over tipped because servers don't make as much when the prices are low. Easy parking and access. Now the a/c was out in mid July but they had fans that seemed to do the job. Although that's something that should be temporary. I miss having more Friendlys around. Good food, good prices, good service. Only the lack of a/c took a star from this review.

Sometimes, dinner is about crossing the street from your hotel in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and landing in a red-and-white booth at Friendly's with your two sons, both of whom are still young enough to find joy in whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. My youngest had the Friendly Frank. A hot dog by any other name, but served with pride and eaten without complaint. It was fine. It filled the boy and that is what food is supposed to do at minimum. My oldest ordered the Clam Strip platter. What he got instead, at first, was a fried shrimp platter. A mistake. But one corrected so quickly and so kindly by our waitress Jackie that it barely registered as an inconvenience. Jackie, by the way, was a star. Friendly in the way Friendly's dreams of being. Personable. Efficient. She moved like someone who knew what they were doing and liked doing it. That is rarer than it should be. As for me, I had the boneless wings with something called "Friendly Sauce." Jackie warned me in advance, said it tasted like Chick-Fil-A sauce. She was right. It was tangy and sweet and tasted like something designed in a lab for mass appeal. The wings themselvs were a bit on the small side, more winglet than wing, but they were cooked well and carried the sauce like proud little vehicles of flavor. Dessert is where Friendly's remembers what it is. I had the peanut butter sundae and it was lovely. A simple thing done right. The kind of dessert that doesn't try too hard but still gets the job done. My sons each had Happy Ending sundaes, which they devoured like cartoon wolves. There were smiles. There was laughter. There was chocolate syrup on the table. Everything made sense for a little while. Four stars. Not because the food was perfect. It wasn't. But because the service was warm, the company was better, and the whole experience felt like a scene from a life well lived. We walked back across the street full and content.

We needed to make a dinner stop and were so lucky to find this well reviewed and highly rated Friendlys in Lancaster, PA. I haven't eaten in a Friendly's since my 20s working a job one summer up in Albany, NY but I remember what they do. The food was typical Friendly's fare...nothing incredible but totally fine and perfect for the little kiddies in our party. What made this 5 stars was the wonderful service from our server Rachael. She recognized immediately what was needed. She gave us time to settle in, gave us time to look at the menu, knew the food and made great suggestions. She was there when needed, cleared things away to keep the table chaos at a minimum --- this is not easy with 3 kids, and was genuinely kind and patient. She was quick to get us anything we needed, and there were no delays in getting our food out to us hot and fresh. I was worn out and stressed out from the NY traffic getting out of the city, packing the car, etc, etc and she gave us this relaxing oasis on our journey. When we left, I was energized for the remaining drive home. I've eaten in thousands of restaurants in my lifetime. Everything from ultra fine dining to mom and pop joints, corporate restaurants and independently owned small businesses. Rachael's personable service and professionalism ranks in the top 10 of a lifetime of dining experiences. She did everything right, and we all left happy. If you're in Lancaster PA go visit this Friendly's. The parking lot was full on a Sunday when most places looked empty. Seemed like a lot of locals dining in and taking out ice cream treats. Thanks for taking great care of this Asian American family Friendly's Team!
