I finally stopped by Friendly's for some ice cream. I was going to wait in line, but decided to sit down and enjoy a meal instead. The pastrami sandwich was okay, but the Happy Ending ice cream was absolutely delicious! What I loved most about my stop, though, was the atmosphere. There's so much history in a place like Friendly's--generations of families have stopped here to eat, laugh, and enjoy time together. I'll definitely be bringing my daughter here and creating a memory for her in this place, just like so many families have done before us. Long live Friendly's! read more

This place is a classic and is worth the trip! Some of the staff are true blood and they thrive when they see their repeat customers! It's really awesome to see servers chatting with the families. But alas it need some updates- presents not as so much dated but not clean sadly I'm easy and always get a sandwich and fun sundae! See you there! read more

I wanted some ice cream one day and looked over the menu and was impressed by some of the sundae offerings. There is a counter if you just want to pick up some ice cream, but I wanted to eat inside so grabbed a table. I wanted to try the salted caramel popcorn sundae with a few modifications (like getting butter pecan) but almonds were not available. In the in person menu, they weren't listed, but they were listed on the website for this location, so that was the only big issue (website is not synced to individual locations). The sundaes are definitely enough to share and came out quickly. For a reasonable price, it was a great dessert and I look forward to more sweet treats in the future. read more

Parking lot is always a plus but when traveling with kids it is spot on. I think Friendly's is underrated. The kids meal with a drink of choice, a meal and their ice cream for 7.99. That is pretty clutch to me. And double that for two kids. You cannot beat that. I got the chicken fajitas quesadilla and it was great too. The veggies were sautéed well and the onions were caramelized. The food came out fast, our server was super sweet. It checked out all boxes. Only minus star was the bathrooms could be cleaned more often-- that's the only con. read more

We took our grandson to Friendly's last night for the 1st time. We used to take our 3 daughters, and before that we had one of our 1st dates in Friendly's on Long Island. This is the definition of a timeless institution. The food was presented a bit differently but the taste was iconic. So happy that we rediscovered this place and introduced it to a 3rd generation read more

Enjoyed it. 1) Idk why, makes me feel like I am back in high school. Very nostalgic feeling. 2) Their Friendly's Patty melt was good. 3) Their waffle fries were excellent, amazing! read more

Ridiculously overpriced average food. Over 15.00 for a senior fish sandwich and a salad instead of fries. I walked out. At the pace you're charging people for ku charging you'll be out of business in less than a year. I stopped going to friendlys once you got rid of the 3 for meal which Included a drink. You need me more than I need you. Adios friendlys. It was nice knowing you. read more

Always a pleasant experience. The staff are very friendly. The restaurant is newly renovated and looking great.

I stopped by Friendly's this evening to get a small/"happy ending" hot fudge sundae from the walk up counter. The last two times my husband and I got sundaes from here, there was very little hot fudge, so tonight I requested that they add a little bit more. I looked at my receipt and noticed that I was charged $0.99 for "a little more" hot fudge! I said something to the guy who took my order and he just kind of looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. I told him the last two times we had gotten sundaes there wasn't much hot fudge on them. He told me that wasn't true. HOW WOULD HE EVEN KNOW THAT?? Ridiculous! We come here because it's close to our home, but the place is really kind of disgusting and dirty inside. The next time we have a craving for ice cream, we may need to go elsewhere. read more

It's Friendly's, don't expect too much. The food is fairly good, very good considering the low price. The ice cream is great. Always good for a family night out. This store is relatively clean and looks recently updated. My only complaint is for a quiet business they could do more for customer service. Our server never checked on us. Took a long time to take an ice cream order. And now they are charging for soda refills? Sad face. read more

This is a goto from my childhood growing up in NJ - went with a much smaller option though vs full on Reeces pieces Sundae like I got as a kid! Service is always fast and nice here. This location never seems all that busy but it's clean and has that Friendlies feel which is homey for us. A classic goto for a little treat or bite after a game late night - never fails to satisfy! read more

Awesome! Food was great. Waitress was great. Ice cream was great. Looking forward to our next trip to Friendly's.

Everything was excellent. I needed a quick place to review my notes and grab a quick bite to eat. Over 60 menu includes a free sundae and my server Zcuz was attentive, quick and friendly. And an Excellent quick stop around Morristown Hospital. read more

A true blast from the past. Hamburgs and Fribbles with a scoop of chocolate mint in a metal parfait goblet to complete the trifecta. I wouldn't exactly call it "fast food" as time seems to bend in the kitchen towards eternity but the downshift is not unpleasant... kind of like visiting a long lost childhood friend. How this place survives in a culture of ADHD, Doordash and 3D printed Mac & Cheese is anyone's guess but I'm sure glad it does. Five easy stars. read more

Happy we came for the old time nostalgia but it really was a sub-par experience. Thats completely fine so long as you're prepared for what you're walking into, which i wasn't. First of all the menu is all kinds of concoctions of the same foods mixed together in different ways. It definitely was not healthy. And that's ok. But the service wasn't great. Maybe they were short staffed. Maybe they weren't experienced servers. But it took a long time to place our orders sacs when the did came a while dish was missing. Since the severe didn't come back to check on us until our meals were finished - and there was no one else around to ask - we just went without the meal. Then we asked for boxes to bring a few leftovers home and the waitress took my plate away and threw away my food. They were kind enough to get me a new batch of fries to bring home but it prolonged the whole process. Maybe we'd come back for the express checkout ice cream at the front door but I don't think we'll be back to the restaurant anytime soon. read more

Good sevice and food delicios clean and lile the sound .........ndndndndndnnffnfnfnfnfnfbdnfbfbfnf

Always solid food, yummy ice cream and really good service! I've been coming here since I was small and never disappoints!

Went here for dinner tonight with friends. This was my first time here in over a decade. Friendly's is a good place for interesting takes on American fare. I ordered the Cheese Skirt Burger, so named because they out extra cheese on the burger so it goes onto the fryer and gets fried itself. There was thousand island Dressing on it that made it taste even better! I ordered off the Happy Ending Menu, which allowed me to get a free sundae after. I ordered mint chocolate chip ice cream and truly enjoyed it. Friendly's is a great place to go with friends for some good food and great ice cream! read more

They really need to invest in a better vent because the strong smell of grease made me nauseous! The restaurant was clean and everyone was polite and welcoming but the stench was just too much! The food here is nothing to write home about but I wasn't expecting anything different. They have a lot of options on the menu, but we stuck to the basics! My burger was way over cooked, fries were hard and the chicken fingers were dry. The only thing that I enjoyed was the ice cream. I ended up taking it to go because I couldn't stand the smell of that place for another second. If you're starving and have no other choice, then this place is ok for a quick bite. read more

$100,000 Cobb salad is a million dollars! chicken is plentiful as is the blue cheese and bacon! Server was attentive, efficient and pleasantly smiling. Ambiance is classic Friendlys like the ice cream! read more

Pretty standard Friendly's experience. Came for Father's Day with multiple young children, so I give the waitress a lot of credit and forgiveness for forgetting a few things throughout the meal. They were able to accommodate our large party without issues. Their summer menu is actually really neat with a few lobster dishes. The lobster/shrimp quesadilla wasn't great but it was good for what it was. The lobster roll also was just fine but a good way to get something different at Friendly's. read more

We wanted something easy for dinner and picked Friendly's. My wife had the chicken fingers which were a little overcooked and daughter got the mac 'n cheese. Both were satisfactory. I had the Grilled Chicken Mozza SuperMelt. It was WAY too cheesy for me. I actually had chills from eating it. The fries were good and the service was also up to par. We appreciated the crayons for our young one. Most of the people there either had a young child or an AARP card. read more

Same great food and service. Prices are not bad either. a great family place for many years.

Came to the area for an errand, and decided to go to Friendly's for lunch. I ordered a fish sandwich and coffee, and my daughter the mac and cheese. Service was great and friendly. Our food came quickly, and they were delicious. I love my fish sandwich! It was one of the best I have ever tasted. I will come back to this restaurant for the fish sandwich again. We did not have any of the ice cream items, but based on what I observed, I am sure they are delicious. I will have that next time. read more

Present Day Bill is in total agreement with Bill from the Past that this Friendly's is extremely Bill Friendly!! Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here and as Great as you'll find the food, the service is even Better. Plus They Have Ice Cream!! Only time will tell how Future Bill will rule in on this Friendly's. But I'm gonna take a wild futuristic guess here and tell you that He's probably gonna love this place too!! Now if we could just get Future Bill to telepathically send us some winning Lottery numbers I'd be All Set!! Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

I'm glad this is the closest restaurant to my school because I come here all the time! The mini mozzarella sticks are my favorite and the ice cream is so good! The appetizers are enough to enjoy as a meal or to share with others if you get an entree as well. I've never had an order come out wrong but I took one star off because they have frequently been out of the ice cream I wanted. They have so many flavors though so it's usually okay. (Tip: it's not on the topping list but you can get a warm brownie with your ice cream for an extra charge and it's so tasty!) The service is great. It doesn't take too long and the staff is usually very friendly. At this point I ask for a specific waitress by name because she's so great! Friendly's is the perfect place for a nice meal or a quick ice cream snack! read more

best food ever and very clean as well .. brings back many memories and they are also thoughtful in their service ..

I haven't been to (this) Friendly's in 27 years, but when I was back in Morristown on business recently, I decided it was an opportunity to remember good food and ice cream. The night I went, the restaurant wasn't very busy, but I was quickly approached by Remee who seated me and took my order. In a moment of nostalgia, I ordered the fried clams with fries and Cole slaw. My order came out in a reasonable amount of time and the food was... OK. You go to Friendly's knowing you're getting coffee shop food (think Denny's) so it's not super high-end. It's more fast, easy, and comfort food. The clams and fries were OK. The Cole slaw was already portioned out into a small lidded plastic cup and was kind of blah, so that was a little disappointing. The iced tea I'd ordered was brewed and not fountain, so I enjoyed that. After finishing my dinner, Remee asked if I would like any dessert. My childhood memories welled up and I wound up ordering a cup (as opposed to bowl) sized Reese's Pieces Sundae. It didn't disappoint my memories. For the smaller size, it had plenty of ice cream, sauces, whipped cream, and (of course) Reese's Pieces! I almost couldn't finish it! (ALMOST! LOL) If I still lived in the area, I probably wouldn't be a regular customer because the overall food experience was just OK. For a one-time visit after many years, it was a decent experience. I would probably recommend Friendly's (this location AND the entire chain) up their game and try a little harder before it's too late. Don't wind up disappearing like so many other similar chains. read more

This was going to be a solid four but it drifted the longer we stayed. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was friendly and very efficient. Well he remained friendly; however , it seemed like he let getting more tables. My husband and I thought their weren't enough people working or that management needed to delegate more effectively. This was the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving - and convenient for travelers. The chicken noodle soup was good. :-) I totally can relate as I was a server long ago. Unfortunately it was frustrating tracking down our check. read more
