5 stars for the ice cream. It beats all the other options around, way better than brusters and arguably better value than Rita's. Mint chip all the way. It's fire. And the strawberry cheesecake? PHENOMENAL. Would die for those creamy cheesecake bits in rich ice cream. The food was average. It may just be because of what I ordered, which was a bacon Mac and cheese burger, but it wasn't anything to write home about. It wasn't the worst burger I've ever had but it was far from the best. Would still recommend the restaurant however. read more

My wife and I love this place. Very friendly staff who are attentive and professional. Nobody here has a bad attitude like they don't want to be here. Food always come out in a timely manner and hot. Prices are very affordable! Of course the Ice Cream is literally the icing on the cake (all pun intended). The hiring manager has great taste. They always hire the prettiest young women at this location. Just had to add that in. read more

I've been eating @ Friendly's Ice Cream & Restaurant basically my whole life. I actually use to work @ the one on York Rd when I was in high school. Now it's been torn down, and I think it's only two left in Bal-da-moor (Baltimore) and two in Glen Burnie I think. That makes me sad that I'm sure the remaining ones will be closed too. But it we went on a Sunday and the restaurant had only four ppl including (ourselves) but the customer service was top notch. Our food came out rather fast since we was the 1st two, our food was amazing and was so good. But if you love. Ice Cream Sundae's, give'em a try while their still around! read more

It's been a good 6/7-years since we stopped in at a Friendly's. We had the ice cream urge so off we went. Created and seated promptly. The young man took our order quickly and asked all the right questions which indicated he knew their menu very well. Ice cream arrived just as we ordered it; and yes, several people in our party are very picky in what they want and don't want in their ice cream. Everything was great. Overall a good visit. This Friendly's has kept their standards up over all the many years they've been in the Glen Burnie area. read more

Friendly's - Yummm - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Glen Burnie, Maryland

We go here strictly for desserts "only". I can't speak on anything else served here. The ice cream desserts are delicious and plentiful. You can dine in or they also have a walk-up window for outside service as well. Plenty of free parking. **Note... Friendly's has their own brand of ice creams and flavors so don't expect to see anything from Baskin Robins outside of (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry). read more

This place is so nostalgic for me. Reminds me of days off of school and popping on over for an ice cream treat with my family. Unfortunately, our closest one closed years ago, so we have to go a little further nowadays to find one. Thankfully, there are two around Glen Burnie to choose from. I never remembered them much for their food as a kid, but I seem to recall they always had breakfast. Not sure if that's still the case, since we're only ever there for dinner anymore. But, the star of the show is still dessert! I had their Cool Ranch Doritos chopped cheese sandwich last visit, and honestly? It was really good! Spicier than I expected, but I was able to handle it pretty well. ;) If you have little to no spice tolerance, though, this one might not be for you. Just ask for no jalapeños and you might be okay. Barely touched the fries to save room for dessert! That entrée also comes with a Happy Ending included, which is a single scoop with a single topping. These days, that's just fine by me! Long gone are the days when I could tackle and entire three-scoop Reese's Pieces sundae! (Not that I won't still try now and then...) Our server was great; she checked on us frequently to make sure things were going well, if we needed refills, etc. The interior... and exterior... they could really use some TLC. There were decorations up that were either very old or at least "interestingly" placed. Not very seasonal either. Plus, there's tape on the wall/window jamb that looks to have been there since the first Bush administration. LOL j/k Seriously, though, it just looks dated. But, renos are expensive, so if this keeps costs down, then it's really not a big deal. I know the chain as a whole is just hanging on, so whatever we can do to save this place, let's do it! Great place for decent grub and fun/filling/friendly desserts. Always a treat for the kids, and definitely for some of us nostalgic adults! read more

Love the senior clamroll. Really good fries. Super service from Ashley. Very pleasant ambiance.

Everything went well, I love Friendly's it's always a great and nostalgic time when visiting.

This review is going to be brief and light on substance and I'll explain why. I haven't been to a Friendly's since the late 80s; the location at Dobbin Center in Columbia, Maryland. I moved to Los Angeles in 1991, lived there for 24 years and at some point, most of the Friendly's locations closed up. I was never clear on whether Friendly's actually still existed and I discovered they do. My funny little hunny had been craving a banana split, so we visited this location and ordered off the dessert menu. I just had a good ol' fashioned hot fudge sundae. We both were very satisfied with our desserts and we will be coming back again to try their delicious looking breakfasts or lunches. While I'm glad they're still around, one thing that no longer seems to be on their menu are the spectacular ice cream pies. If they bring those back, I will become a lifelong Friendly's Fan Club member. Hell - I'll be the President and will done here every week! read more

It's one of my childhood favorite restaurants the ice cream the food everything was just how I remember

I've been a Friendly's fan since I was a kid. We drove from DC just to eat here. The burgers were as good as I remembered and the sundaes.... My go to is Always the Reese's Pieces Sundae. Our server was very nice! read more

Val is very attentive & friendly. We had breakfast & our meal was good. Wish they served breakfast during the week also.

I assume that you, like me, have a deep nostalgia for Friendly's and are seeing if it's still a good idea as an adult. It is! We had a great time here. The fries are exactly as you remember them. I got the Cobb salad (bold choice I know) and it was really good! And a good value too. Grilled chicken, egg, craisins, blue cheese, bacon, like so good. I'm excited to get our ice cream too. I enjoyed the oldies music playing the whole time. Short version: if you're wondering if you should give this Friendly's a chance, you should! read more

Since being a kid, Friendly's has been a staple in the diet. Love their peanut butter fudge that goes atop your fav ice cream. I get the peanut butter sundae that is to die for. Kevin loves banana splits and theirs is really large. Eaten at this location once after covid, and everything was great. I want to go back today since it's so hot outside. We are def stopping in!

I recommend Friendly's. It is a cozy restaurant, with tasty food, and friendly staff.

One of those classic diner restaurants. We have come here a handful of times now and every time has been a treat. The staff are very kind and welcoming, and attentive. The food is great, exactly what you'd expect here. No fine dining experience by any means, but that's exactly what I'm looking for when I come to a place like Friendly's. We love it! read more

Always pleasant severs. Restaurant is clean and inviting. Never had a bad meal. Reasonable priced for what you get.

Great hot food, top notch service and the store is very clean,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Food was good, well cooked and hot. The server was pleasant and interactive, all In all it was a relaxing, enjoyable experience.

The food was very good. And our service was just outstanding. And the prices were very reasonable.

We tried this place in a Sunday midday since we haven't been here for years. We were sort of surprised the menu was really nice with a great lunch time selection. We were here with our daughter and two granddaughters and the food was really good. Well prepared, very tasty with good portions and at very reasonable prices. The service was really good also. The meals came fairly quickly and our server was on top of things. The ice cream desserts were very nice and a bargain compared to going to most of these local ice cream shops that charge $5. 00 a scoop! The restaurant needs a little of an interior upgrade ( showing its age) but an overall great experience for what looks to be a very underrated restaurant in Glen Burnie. read more

We had a fantastic dining experience here. It was the Crain Hwy S location. The food was cooked perfectly. That skirt of melted cheese thing was crazy good. The burger had nice onions and mayo and crispy bacon and the bun was toasted just right. Fries were crisp. The iced tea was fresh brewed with the perfect amount of sugar. The waiter was pleasant and attentive. The sign by the door made us chuckle. We will be back for sure. read more

Decent food, kid friendly. Ice cream is always a treat. Beware of claw machine, it may be addictiv.

We ordered through door dash! Our food still came to us hot and the ice cream came cold! The food was made fresh. We will definitely order this way again! read more

Love their peanut butter sundae with 2 scoops chocolate and one scoop strawberry with extra peanut butter sauce! Service is always excellent and they are super friendly there! read more

Haven't been here in over a decade so we decided to stop for ice cream. Loved it!!! They gave us stuff to color with while we waited and it was a relaxing environment for all of us. The ice cream was good, they have a bunch of creative things to pick from but you can also make your own. A little dated but I think that's what makes this place special. Definitely will be back :) read more

Friendly always takes care of my ice cream cravings, they have my favorite flavors of ice cream and toppings!!

Love the ice cream. When I want ice cream and don't want to go out I order online and have it delivered

Food came out fast and hot. Just had some classic burgers and fries and a brownie sundae for dessert. Dessert was amazing too. It's the exact quality of food you would expect for the pricepoint. The staff was friendly. read more

The food was very good. Everything was there and it was fresh and hot. Definitely will order from there again.

Food is always tasty and I'm never disappointed. Customer service is great and I think some of the staff remembers me as the guy that drives across town for the chicken tenders with Buffalo sauce. Good location and cozy spot to enjoy with friends and family. read more

Haven't tried the food here, but the ice cream is great! They are open late which is a huge plus. The ice cream selection is bigger than I thought it would be and you can get a basic scoop, a huge sundae, or anything between. I'll definitely be back. read more

Friendly's - Getting some ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Glen Burnie, Maryland

Placed an order through Uber Eats and when received order it was incorrect. Correct order listed on receipt and bag stapled. Called Friendly's and was told had to contact Uber Eats for the mistake. The mistake was Friendly's (Crain Highway) and tried to tell them bag was stapled, receipt was correct and whoever bagged it on their end put the wrong items in the bag. The Uber Eats driver didn't bag the order, Friendly's did. So much for customer service from management at Friendly's. They have loss my business for sure now. Dumb A-- workers. read more

Great place to have breakfast lunch or dinner. Service was excellent.

very friendly girl working , very polite and welcoming she always has a good attitude towards the customers!

Food was good, our waitress, Trinity, was not. She went outside to smoke for 20 minutes after delivering our food, and knocking French fries from our plates onto the floor. She was wearing an air pod ear bud and clearly listening to it more than us. She only checked on us one time and never came back. I have never had such a bad experience at a Friendly's! read more

service was friendly and the food was delicious. Love the simple menu and fast service

Love love friendly in the Friendly's fan club is amazing sweet rewards is that are actually sweet
