Happy Ending Sundae with dirty spoon ,yikes!! Gotta do better.
Kris V.

Food: 7.5/10 : TUNA melt with fries Service: 6/10 I only ranked it as a 6 because it felt like, per server was only designated to their own area. The server that was tending to me was nowhere to be found.

Happy ending

Omg after a long day just wanted to get something fast and good. Greeted very friendly pun intended Since I am 60 and so was my date and we both ordered off senior menu 13 bucks got clam roll French fries and a sundae are you kidding me so darn good and cheap Not a place I would go often as those who read me knows but so hit the spot

What I ordered

Second week in a row my GrubHub order was completely wrong. Large Reese's pieces Sunday showed up with no Marshmallow, peanut butter or chocolate sauce, no whipped cream cherry or Reese's pieces! SECOND TIME IN 2 WEEKS Epic fail

Great food and wonderful service! The chicken tenders and fries were crunchy and just delicious! Our server Jacqueline was very nice and attentive.

Mint chip ice cream cone

Last time I dined at Frendly's was in the late 1970's. I am delighted to report that nothing has changed except that I qualify now for the senior citizen menu. I ordered my favorite clam roll and it is the same clam roll: a lot of fried batter and no sign of a clam. Still yummy from a nostalgia viewpoint. And my dessert was the mint chip ice cream cone, still looking the same and delicious!

Opha Friendly's. I grew up on Friendly's so it's not like I didn't know what to expect. I would say the quality of the food has stayed pretty consistent from what one would expect add ad from a friendly. But what I would say dramatically changed is the prices. You can no longer go for a cheap meal at Friendly's. If you're looking for a night out with family, I would say it's still an okay option but do add up your bill before you go. It may be more expensive than you're willing to pay for this kind of dining experience.

It feels rooted in the same philosophy that says a man buys three suits and somehow discovers endless outfits within them. But is there anything wrong with just three good suits? Do all possible combinations truly have value? At what point does variety become a little ridiculous? That said, the bones -- so to speak -- are very good. The wings are fried well, generously sauced, and satisfying in whatever flavor palette you ultimately settle on. Just do not expect the decision-making process to come easily.

Best burgers in Bergen County. There I said it. When I first moved to the Lodi area I thought this…read morewas a biker bar so didn't think it was my kind of place. But so glad I stopped in - the Harley Davidson showroom is across the street and guess they got a burger at ReBar to celebrate their purchase. Lol But don't stop at the burgers. It really is gourmet quality food at biker bar prices! I've been 10X!

I was excited to check out this local sports bar in Lodi after seeing all of the positive reviews…read more Honestly, it was a little underwhelming for me. Maybe I just ordered the "wrong things". Either way, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I visited on a late Saturday night. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance can be tricky to find... It's located in the back on the left-hand side. The exterior and interior are both pretty dark, dull, and dingy. It's not the most inviting atmosphere at first. It has a divey, industrial, and rustic vibe to it, but hey... sometimes the best food comes from places that don't look like much. So I try not to judge. It wasn't too busy, and the service was attentive. The menu has your classic American comfort food - wings, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc. They switch it up with daily specials like skirt steak, chicken parm, and pasta. They have a full bar with cocktails, drafts, bottled beers, can ciders, and wines. You can even do a four-beer flight and make it a tasting experience! I ordered: *Dark & Stormy Cocktail [Goslings Dark Rum, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice] ($14) - Not the best one I've had, but it was solid. If you like ginger and rum, this is a must try. The dark rum has hints of caramel which works really well with the spicy ginger beer. The lime juice adds a citrus kick, so it's a really refreshing drink. *Margarita ($18) - As a tequila girly, I've had my fair share of margaritas. This one didn't do it for me. It was a little too sour/tart, which overpowered everything else. *Cubano Sandwich [includes roast pork, black forest ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard with side of fries] ($16) - I wasn't expecting an authentic Cubano from an American sports bar, so my expectations weren't super high. This was good, but not great. The pork was flavorful, but could've been more tender. I wish there were more pickles and mayo for that extra tangy crunch. The bread was pressed a little too hard, so it was a bit tough to bite through. *Double Blackened Chicken Breast Sandwich [includes pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, red peppers, and red onion on brioche with side of fries] ($18) - This was huge and filling! They did not skimp out on the protein. The brioche bun was soft and buttery. The chicken was well seasoned - smoky and savory with crispy charred edges. BUT... to my disappointment, the inside was dry and not juicy at all. Another small issue was the ratio - There was so much chicken compared to the rest of the toppings, so it wasn't the most cohesive sandwich. It really needed more cheese and chipotle mayo to tie all the flavors together. The fries were the best part - thick, crispy, and golden! It's decent bar food, just not the best I've had. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great or memorable. For the price, I didn't feel it was worth it. I do appreciate that their food is served piping hot and fresh. To be fair, this is probably the perfect spot for beer lovers. I happen to not be one, lol. The burger options sound popular and promising too. I'd consider giving them another shot for Happy Hour or to try a burger, but it's not at the top of my list. Just because it's not the sports bar for me, doesn't mean it won't be the one for you.

Can't recommend it enough!

This review is tough because the food was a 5 star but the service was a 3 star. For the food side…read morewe had a steak flatbread and a burrata appetizer. Both were very good. The flatbread was outstanding, crispy crust and enough steak but not overwhelming. For dinner we had the pork chop and the chilliean sea bass. Both were excellent. The pork chop was tender and flavorful and the sea bass was cooked properly and very tasty. But the star. Was the potato side dish. It was excellent. But the service left a bit to be desired. Our water glasses were never refilled during the meal, a bottled beer was ordered and brought but no glass was offered. After all our plates and silverware were cleared away with the appetizers, they were not replaced until after our meals were brought over. This is one of those places where your waiter takes the order, somebody else does the water, and different people bring the food. Though this is very common in a lot of restaurants it was just a bit disjointed. I may be being a bit hard on the servers but compared to other restaurants in the chain the service was a step down. There were other good things though. The value is very good. The food is definitely not overly pricy for what you get. We will try the restaurant again, hoping we were there on what was just an off night for the servers.
