    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.

    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.

With over 180 wing flavors to choose from, the only problem you will have is deciding because you will want to explore this seemingly never ending list. These are a couple of the wings I explored: Peanut Butter & Jelly Wings: These wings were smothered in creamy peanut butter with a heaping mound of jelly. At first I was reluctant to explore this unusual combination, but as soon as I gave it a try, it was love at first bite. Feel free to smear or dip; the choice is yours. S'mores Wings: This is another unique, but unbelievably savory combination. These dessert style wings were smothered in marshmallow cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup, and sprinkled with crushed pieces of graham crackers. It was a sight for sore eyes. If you need additional chocolate sauce don't be afraid to ask for "s'more." And make sure you request "s'more" napkins because you will certainly need them! In addition to the wings, I also explored one of the main courses. Blue 42 Burger: Named after the restaurant, this burger is topped with mozzarella sticks, blue cheese crumble and bacon. The Blue 42 char on top of the bun has a nice decorative touch. If you are a fan of the Green Bay Packers, you have come to the right spot. The interior is decorated with Packers memorabilia, which even includes wall art on the ceiling. All fans are still welcome even if you aren't an aficionado of the Packers. The restaurant staff also supports New Jersey's finest, New Jersey's bravest, the ambulance corp, and the armed forces. I truly enjoyed dining at this local bar and I see why their wings are high profile. #blue42 #wingman #wingmanblue42 #blue42elmwoodpark #blue42burger #smoreswings #smores #peanutbutterandjelly #peanutbutterandjellywings #pbj #pbjwings #elmwoodparknj #GreenBayPackersFans #njfinest #njbravest #AmbulanceCorp #armedforces

There is a real…read morecase here of not being able to see the forest for the trees when faced with nearly 200 varieties, many of which, upon closer inspection, amount to the same handful of flavors rearranged into slightly different combinations. 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.

The place is very interesting, a lot of different artwork and decor. They serve complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Started off with the Cowboy Calamari ($19.95) and it was delicious. The calamari was nice and crispy, it was drizzled with some sort of sweet sauce. This was actually the highlight of the night, I highly recommend getting this. For my main, I ordered the 12 oz ribeye ($24.95) with onion rings ($4). The ribeye was bigger than 12 oz, it was huge. I got it medium but it came out medium rare, which if fine with me. The ribeye was good and very filling, just know you get what you pay for. Overall it was a good experience with interesting atmosphere. * Reatuarant entrance on the side of parking lot * Parking on premise and Street parking * Get the Cowboy Calamari

Agreed to valet since it was complementary and we didn't really want to cross a sort of busy street. The place itself is extremely nice inside. The bar is huge with lots of TV's playing all sorts of sports they also had a good number of booths around it. They also have a whole upstairs where you can chill when there is event nights (music, trivia, etc) They had a nice drink menu I ordered was an orange-brew creamsicle drink. Was in a large glass so was definitely worth the money and they did not water anything down. Very refreshing!! Hubby ordered an ON Tap The Bowlero Snort Donut Forget About Me (cider) which was extremely good. I ordered which is pictured a French dip with American cheese, and did an upcharge ($6.00) for Parmesan truffle fries. My sandwich was delicious. Very tender meat and the roll it came on was very fresh loved the au jus and the French Fries. I'd go back just to get those as an appetizer. My husband got the MBH filet mignon steak sandwich (w/o mushrooms) on focaccia bread... I did take a picture but it didn't save in my phone. He loved it. He's the type to eat everything on his plate and he could only finish half because it was such a nice size portion. Our server Ariel (I hope that is his name - I'm looking on my receipt and that's what it says) was so nice and attentive. He told us about the different theme nights they have, how packed they get etc. An A+ server. Realizing how close this was to our house we are pretty excited to put it into our rotation and try more items on the menu and hopefully go on theme nights. Overall great fun place to bring family, hang out, watch sports, or sit at the bar & just chat.

She was very attentive and made our meal pleasant and comfortable. I started with a Blood Orange Margarita (Calirosa 'Rosa Blanca' Tequila, orange liqueur, fresh sour, blood orange). This drink was VERY GOOD. The hint of blood orange was the perfect amount of sweetness and I was content with my selection. The appetizer was the Slow-Roasted Meatballs (porcini-dusted veal, pork, grass-fed beef, tomato-basil sauce, brick-oven bread). Each meatball was tender, flavorful, well seasoned, and the sauce was sufficient to accompany every forkful of the delicious starter. The entrees were: Caramelized Sea Scallops (broccolini, mascarpone risotto). Next was the Seasonal Brick-Oven Gnocchi (roasted mushrooms, truffle oil, roasted tomatoes, Marsala and provolone sauce, green onions). The final entree was the Mediterranean Wood-Grilled Chicken Salad (arugula, toybox tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions, chickpeas, quinoa, feta, lemon dijon vinaigrette). For dessert, Seasons 52 graciously offered a free dessert for my birthday. Another nice touch that places Seasons 52 on a pedestal. I chose the Key Lime Pie Mini (graham cracker crust, whipped cream). The mini dessert was deliciously sweet, the graham crust provided an appreciated different texture, and I highly recommend these mini selections.
