Went in at 8:50pm for food and ice cream on a Friday night. Waited for 5-10 min for someone to greet us at the door to seat us then proceeded to tell us the they were slowly closing the grill. Very unprofessional and gave major attitude when we wanted to sit and eat food. So we didn't stay. Walked out and drove to the Friendly's in Deptford. read more

One star is being generous. I've been to this Friendly's twice now. First time, took almost 3 hours. Today, tried to go with my husband hoping the service was better since the first time. Nope. We were sat and for a while only saw the one staff member for about 15 minutes while we waited for someone to acknowledge us. Other tables that came in after us were settled with drinks and ordering. Then the manager came to us and got our drink order and said our server will be right with us. She went in the back and suddenly another server showed. And two bus boys! (Where were they?) Took our order. I ordered a cup of soup and an entree. 20 min later my husband asked about my cup of soup. The server rolled his eyes and said he would get it. Came out shortly with soup. No utensils or napkins and he dropped it and disappeared. All that, and it was the wrong soup. Tried to find any employee to get it corrected and no one in sight. Waited another 5 minutes. Still no employees. People were lining up at ice cream counter and front podium. Still no employees. We got up and left. Managment needs to get involved and fix this terrible place. It's the only sit down restaurant at the Gloucester Outlets. read more

No air conditioning, door open, brutally hit and humid, not even apologies from staff. NEVER AGAIN

Wait staff was pleasant and attentive. My burger was ordered very well done and came out pink inside. Offered to remake it. By the time it came back out, without my fries, everyone else was done eating. Everyone else got their dessert while I finished my meal. Manager that brought me my burger couldn't even apologize. Ordered the siracha burger and I think they purposely loaded it up with siracha because my mouth was on fire. Only reason they got 2 stars is because the waitress was very nice and it wasn't her fault. I saw she wrote down very well done. read more

Visited for dinner last week. Server was too honest. She brought out water and then said, "Sorry I'll have to get you another. There's a lipstick stain on yours." First off, eww. Second, I didn't need to know all that. These types of comments continued the rest of the night. She told us all about the customer who screamed in her face over a coupon earlier in the day. The food was mediocre. Burger was so thin and overcooked it tasted like cardboard. I've had nothing but bad experiences at this location. Ice cream is always melted upon arrival. They run so many coupons and specials that they're making themselves seem cheap. If you arrive to order take out ice cream in the last half hour before close they have the door locked and give you attitude. This location is beautiful inside. Please get the staff and food together so it can stay! read more

So first off I come in and the table is dirty that they seat us at. No problem the waitress cleaned it. Then we go over to the game machine for the kids. Put money in and it eats it. The machine doesn't work. So we told the waitress it took our $5. Luckily the manager gave us the $5 back. Then our food comes out, cold, missing stuff. Just awful. The bathroom sick doesn't work, servers are nice but need to be on top of stuff. I will not be returning here ever again. read more

Lots of one or two stars and that has been our experience too. Service slow, food cold, orders wrong, reorders too correct, still slow and cold. How doesn't a region, district or corporate management not see these ratings and get involved? Seriously, we have given this place several tries over the past months and it's gotten progressively worse. It seems to be the kitchen or what ever goes on behind those walls. One thing I can tell you is going on back there is cigarette smoking by the near constant odor wafting through the dining room. And can someone tell me why they always come back and tell us the Clam Chowder is frozen and ask if we want something else? I really hope they can pull up from this nose dive. I've been a Friendly's patron since I was kid and there aren't many left. If they maintain the current trend I can see why they're disappearing. My recommendation, eat somewhere else and just go here for the ice cream. read more

Super-lame today. 3:30 on a Saturday afternoon and they are out of fish and chips because the table before us "had a big order." The clam chowder, requested before the entree never arrived until dessert time because the kitchen was "making a new batch" for us. Over priced one scoop root beer float. Terrible dining experience for anything but ice cream. read more

Welcome to the world's most understaffed restaurant. With only one person in front of me, getting only two cups of ice cream I waited 25 minutes to even place my ice cream only order. While I waited, I observed numerous customers walk in to no one at the hostess stand. The phone would ring and ring and ring. I watched two tables desperate to pay their check- to the extent that the gentleman had stood up to make it clear he was ready to go. No one seemed to have any hustle or pep in their step, nor care. The girl who I assume was the manager actually came out to see the swamped front of house, and told the poor kid drowning at the ice cream counter she'd be in the back for awhile doing something else. Upon asking him when I finally got to the front, he indicated she was swamped in the back as well. A literal restaurant nightmare. read more

Would've been 0 stars if possible!!! Our server, Brooke was absolutely horrible. She didn't know the menu at all. Told us the big kid meals didn't come with a fribble, when the menu clearly said they did! I asked for a refill on my iced tea two times and it was never refilled. We started out with 2 appetizers for a table of 6 and she brought us out 3 appetizer plates. We're we supposed to share plates?! I'm positive there wasn't a shortage on plates, because we were the only people there. Needless to say, if we saw the reviews and rating before we went there, we would've never gone in!!! Save yourself the headache and skip this place! read more

So sorry to give such a low rating. This is the only sit down restaurant in the Gloucester Township Outlets. As a result, during this past 70 degree Saturday, they were so overcrowded and understaffed. When you know it's going to be a nice day at the outdoor mall, call in reinforcements. The staff was so overworked the food suffered. Line was long and people were leaving. Normally I like Friendly's but this location needs to get their act together. read more

Terrible service and food portion. The bathroom was out of soap. I told multiple waitresses, which they said they informed the manager. 15 mins goes by and nothing. Then I finally spoke with the manager. He said he added a full refill in the morning, I said nothing came out I tried multiple times. His answer was " It worked for me, guess the soap dispenser likes me more". So unprofessional and rude. Onto the food, I ordered a quarter pounder. It was such a joke. The fries and everything doesnt even add up to quarter pound. I will not be coming back to this outlet if Friendly's is the best they can offer. read more

The service was horrible, the waiter spent most of his time in the back talking to friends. Very disappointed

There aren't many dining options at the outlets, so Friendly's it was. As soon as we walked in I was very turned off by all the trash on the floor by the hostess stand. Like so much trash it was pretty shocking. There were several waitresses around, and a broom in plain site so I have no idea why it wasn't cleaned up. The restaurant was busy, but not totally packed. We waited almost 10 mins for a waitress to come over. We ordered and received our food very quickly. The food was fine, it is always the same quality and taste to me. The waitress never cleared any of our plates even when ordered ice cream. The best part was when I needed to use the restroom and there was no toilet paper in either stall. I went back out and ask the manager for toilet paper, proceeded to wait another 10 mins for her to bring some to the bathroom. Never happened. My husband had to ask her again, and she finally got some toilet paper for the bathroom. Will never go back there again. read more

See all

This friendly's is by far the worst friendly's I've ever been to. The service was poor and it wasn't even crowded. I waited over 15 minutes just to get our drinks. I did not get what I ordered and it was so cold I wouldn't have eaten it if it was what I ordered. The manager Breanna was rude and totally unprofessional. One of the worse experiences ever! read more

I'm waiting for the cameras to come out because I think I'm being Punk'd. We were promptly seated and left to sit over 15 service was awful. I asked for the manager and waited 5 more minutes, she offered to get us drinks right away, less than 10 minutes later we were served glasses of kind of cool tea with no ice . By the time we were there 50 minutes our burgers were served, admitted they were room temperature and the orders were wrong but the waitress was busy sharing lunch with her boyfriend, he was seated and served very promptly. The cutlery at our table was sticky and our waitress was no where to be seen. The manager was nice enough but kept making excuses for inexperienced staff and her being new too. I got up to get another table ketchup because they had food for at least 10 minutes but no utensils. Unfortunately, I wasn't being Punk'd! read more

Consistently bad service. I wrote to the manager on Facebook informing them that we have had bad experiences on Black Friday. They asked that we give them another chance and they did not disappoint in proving there have not been any improvements since our last visit. Several waitresses passed right on by our table and the person I imagine was the manger smiled at someone in our party and also passed on by. A waitress eventually waited on the table in front of us who came in after. The manager said that it was a misunderstanding. Even if it was he did not really seem to care and it doesn't excuse the poor service we received from the door. If you really want Friendly's I would just drive over to Deptford. You may have better luck. read more

This Friendly's is a DISGRACE. Me and my boyfriend love Friendly's and he is a restaurant owner and I am a server and I have NEVER experienced anything like this. We are never picky, impatient etc. because we understand what it's like HOWEVER, when you have zero tables (we were the only ones in the whole restaurant) and half the tables are filthy, not bussed, there is no excuse. Silverware was dirty, soup was cold, food was fine honestly, but the atmosphere was horrendous. The entire staff sat in the corner and stared at us for coming in (we got there at 7:15, they close at 9). VERY unprofessional. Ontop of it all our waiter would drop things off and disappear. Again, like I said I get it if you are busy and get caught up, but there was NO ONE THERE. Never again - STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION!!!! read more

They don't even deserve one star! The service here is by far the WORST SERVICE that I have ever had! The place is run by teenagers that sit around talking and playing on their phones. The manager is no where to be found and if you ask for him/her, another teenager comes out and he/she is useless! You wait forever for your food and when you finally get it, the food is a joke! Also, forget about getting a refill on your drink too. Be smart and don't waste your time going to this Friendly's to eat! I wish I had read the reviews prior to coming here because if I had, I would have saved myself the aggravation of being subjected to such an awful experience! I hope they close and a much better restaurant replaces them! read more

This place is horrible! Let me begin with the fact that the tables were dirty after the debris from previous guest was removed the table was wiped off with a sticky cloth and left sticky residue behind, YUCK! The service was horrible the wait time was way to long, my grand-daughters got their meals and I still had to wait even longer!! After a long wait the food better be good right? The mini burgers were so over cooked hard and dry the girls did not eat them and my rice bowl was presented as a bowl of slop with 3 tiny pieces of chicken I never seen anything like it in a restaurant. It doesn't stop there we and the other guest could hear the kitchen staff arguing and cussing one of them came out and slammed a chair! No tip for the server we got the heck outta there Never to return! read more

Me and my wife and kids went here for a nice dinner and turned out to be a disaster. It wasn't even busy, it was us and two other tables and the girl didn't give us utensils. Come on man how the hell am I going to eat Coleslaw or chicken without utensils!! I even gave this girl a 15% tip and I just did it because I know that she makes her money from tips but she needs better service. read more

Lumberjack breakfast; scrambled, sausage, French toast, coffee, child's chocolate milk 1 adult, 1 child Moderately busy; 5 active downs average in store -Store opened late (Google incorrectly says 9, but it was after 10) -Two servers trying to run the store (and a cook, I assume) -Waited over 15 minutes longer than the order taken immediately before ours, despite having a simpler order. -French toast arrived too cold to melt butter, and overly browned. Syrup was refrigerator cold. Eggs were hot and fresh, sausage warm. -No offer of coffee warm-up or meal status check -I only mentioned the unsatisfactory French toast when a go box was offered, and the reply was she'd see what she could do. (I'm not a very picky customer, really, but this was a redeeming factor). The second server (perhaps a manager?) came over and said she'd made the French toast and didn't understand how it was cold, but would we like it remade? Or some ice cream? To go? (Another point scored) -waited for the check, which was dropped after the ice cream. -waited another 15-20 months for check pick-up, finally gave up, as three year old (whose ice cream was likely melted) was growing antsy and replaced my credit card with cash. I still tipped (using the original total, not the 50% weekday discount) because so much of the negative was due to apparent understaffing of both the floor and kitchen (or is it normal for a server to make French toast?). I'd say the problem here is management, and possibly that the mall owns the store (a fact overheard in conversation with an employee from another location as we left). The other reviews said much the same about slow service, unsatisfactory food and the like, but I wanted it understood that the servers were not entirely at fault. read more

This is probably the worst restaurant i have ever been to! The service was ridiculously slow. I waited over 20 minutes just to have someone take our drink order. One customer went up and complained that she had been waiting over an hour for her food. After she walked out the workers proceed to complain about the customer. read more

Don't even bother - we were told 40 minute wait, 4 people with (1 handicap) stand at the door and wait while at least 10 tables available with 4 or 5 unbussed. Hostess & manager kept saying we had to wait on the kitchen, so couldn't be seated at empty tables!? Horrible! read more

Service was alright, food wasn't all that good, the strawberry special drink was pretty good though, I had gotten the 6 count chicken tenders and only got four, and the bill had the six count meal so someone was just topaz to cook 6 or just couldn't count, wouldn't really recommend this Friendly's read more

I just left the restaurant after having the worst experience. We were seated right away but totally ignored by the waitress. We waited 15 minutes with no help finally the manager walked over and I told him we were waiting for 15 minutes with no help at all. He told me we would be taken care of and the table directly behind me seated a group of four and the waitress went right over and took their order and we were ignored once again. We got up and told the manager that the whole situation was wrong and totally rude. He didn't even care and told me yo have a good night as I walked out the door. I went there last Black Friday and had awful service but I was willing to give it another try but this time it was even worse. The place should be shut down or the entire staff should be replaced manager included!! read more

Highly recommend.server Brooke was very Friendly and attentive. Food and service was wonderfull.

Wouldn't even give this location any stars but one star was the minimum. I have eaten at plenty of friendly's restaurants and loved the experience as well as the food. I stepped into this location with company at 820 and was told we could only place Togo orders which we were fine with so we waited in line. Once we reached the front of the line we were told that we were past the Togo order time limit and that we could only place an order for ice cream to go at this time after waiting for almost 15 minutes without a last call for Togo food. Not to mention there were customers at a nearby table that were still being served without hesitation. First and last time ALMOST dining here and will not be back especially after the rude looks at one another and not so secretive commentary about the time we decided to dine in. read more

Great staff! But the food was far from good and small portions - ordered the scrimp and it was basically few pieces of scrimps on fries and super pricy - will not re-visit. read more

Horrible food, should have been an easy lunch burger fries, blt but food terrible, service worse- music so loud coming from the kitchen on top of the piped in music. I should have known since it was empty at lunchtime. Men's bathroom sink not working either- sad since this is in a nice mall. Dedicatedly needs a management change read more

All these tables open and they wanna say a 5-10 min wait. Smh I didnt even sit down yet and im fed up. - update: service is good tho! read more

This place sucks takes forever to get your food. The staff plays on their phones instead of checking on customers.

Waited an additional 15 minutes for take out food that was ordered 30 minutes prior. Then spoke with the general manager who clearly is unprofessional and is the reason this location gets such bad reviews. Also the GM asked if anything additional was going to be left, practically asking for a tip? Your rude, inefficient and now you believe you deserve a tip? Cloe, Katlyn and the GM Sherry I would just like to shout you out as being so incompetent that you can't even work at friendlys and be mediocre.... smh... The entire staff needs to be rehired or retrained due to the lack of proficiency from the management. read more

If you want excellent and prompt service, THEN DON'T COME TO THIS LOCATION!! We came here for breakfast on a Friday because of their 50% off their breakfast menu deal, and instead, we got less than 50% quality of service! Whoever manages this location needs to do two things: KNOW THEIR ROLE AND FIND A NEW JOB!!! Who schedules one server on a Friday in an outlet mall location, during back to school shopping time?!? I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there's nothing common about common sense!! I mean really? We ordered buttermilk pancakes, and we got paper thin crepe like frisbees!! Pancakes are supposed to be fluffy!! The ingredients in her omellete weren't cooked thoroughly and were cold, and we sat for another 20 min waiting for someone to pick up the check!! If I wanted to be held hostage, I would go pick a fight with Isis. So yeah overall, this place was about as good as a monkey's anus... read more

First time at this Friendly's location. Horribly dissapointing! Walked in to see eight...yes...eight un-bussed tables full of food scraps and dirty dishes. We were asked to wait about 15 minutes before being seated in the middle of the mess of dirty tables which were not cleaned off until we were about to leave. Waited for service for longer and saw others being waited on who were sat after us. Served food with no napkins even though the waitress caused a drippy mess when delivering our items. We were a party of 2 adults...restaurant not very busy. It's ashame. If managed correctly, this place could be a smash with the draw of the outlets. Last visit for us. read more

Service was terrible. We were sat right away, however our server had a babysitter problem and we weren't told about it. We waited 15 minutes to order a drink, which was a diet coke. It tasted like syrup. It took me 10 more minutes to change my drink. We still hadn't ordered yet. Our server finally showed up, and took our order. It took about 25 more minutes for our food to come. Apparently the restaurant was out of napkins and we got 1 cocktail size napkin each. My first time here.... pretty disappointed read more

Probably the worst experience I've ever had in the restaurant. I went there with my grandson and wife, sat down right away, took 20 minutes to get a glass of water. We ordered and the food took another 20 million bytes or so to come. Food came, we had no utensils or napkins. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup figured play it safe in a restaurant of that type. It was awful, the soup taste nothing like a tomato soup It tasted like a bowl of starch. The grilled cheese sandwich was just like eating a greasy sponge. Truly inedible. My grandsons mac & cheese and hotdogs was cold and awful, even a 3 year old refused to eat it. My wife's club sandwich according to her was edible....... That doesn't say a lot. The young waitress was trying but was very inexperienced. Stay away from this place, opt for the good court, better good choices and the service will be better and probably cheaper. read more

The waitress didn't seem like she wanted to be there, the food came out cold and the mini burgers I got for my son tasted like they were straight out of a freezer box, my boy is a great water and wouldn't finish a quarter of the burger but did eat all the apple sauce. Nothing on the order was by any means fresh or hot. Just a waste of money if you are looking for dinner. Also when I am out to eat with my family I often am the one to change my boys diaper, I know there is a changing table in the woman's room, but there was no place for me to change my son in the men's room. read more

We stopped in for dinner at 6:50 on a Saturday night. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait even thought there were at least 10 empty tables. We were told the wait was for the "kitchen". After 25 minutes we were seated and then ignored for another 10. Not even a drink order. There were a ton of people, including the manager, cleaning tables but no one came to us. If the kitchen is short staffed, GO HELP THE KITCHEN! We eventually got up and walked out. They watched us but no apology. Two stars because it was clean but obviously I can't comment on the food. Doubt we'll be back. read more

Everytime I come here, there's always a table ready. Tables are clean, food is fast and appetising. Finally some edible food at the outlets! The staff is still new and learning, but service is amazing. read more
