    Hot dogs and fries
    Ivy Y.

    Wow. That was bad. What a shame as this was my first time at a Friendly's. We came for lunch as a party of six around 1:30pm on a Sunday. They seemed severely understaffed while being more than half capacity. The service was friendly and courteous but very slow. We didn't even have our drink order taken for 10 minutes after we were seated. The food was eh. I had a crock of broccoli cheddar soup that tasted "powdery" if that makes sense? It gave me the impression the soup is a powder mix they mix into water or milk or something. The flavor was good but the texture was a little weird. Besides that I had a Short Rib Mash SuperMelt with fries. My daughter had a grilled cheese with fries that wasn't very grilled, my husband had two hotdogs with fries, and the three other people in our party had burgers and fries which I neglected to take pics of. The fries were cold and mealy. But we were hungry so most of us ate them. Everyone's a opinion of their food was like mine. Eh. The first coffee cup my server brought out to me had lipstick on it and my daughter's lemonade had a black fleck of something floating around in the bottom of the glass. I had to go stand by the kitchen door to catch one of the three servers because if I'd just waited for our server to come back it was gonna be a while. It was pretty depressing being in there. Babies crying, which happens and isn't a big deal except when the vibe is already really bad, every table was irritated with the slow service and the expressions on everyone's faces was anger or annoyance. Yikes. The stars are for the server who seemed to be doing a pretty good job considering what she was dealing with. Although none of the servers seems to have any sense of urgency about them. The majority of issues we experienced weren't her fault so we still tipped generously.

    A coupon code that they don't honor anymore??

    The food was literally something I could buy from the store and make myself. There was a coupon on the table that if you scanned it and signed up you could get a free medium sundae but they "weren't using it anymore". Take it off all the tables then?! The carpet was DISGUSTING, it looked like it hasn't been cleaned in years. It took a long time to get our food too and we were seated next to the kitchen and could hear the staff coughing and giggling and screaming to eachother. I will never step foot in a friendlys again and honestly am shocked they are even still open. The only pro was that our waitress was very nice. I don't usually post bad reviews but I'm mindblown by how bad this place was... even for a friendlys. Ps, don't get the mini mozz sticks. They don't even look the same as they do on the menu

    I will start by saying the food was really good for the most part. Service was slow, but they were busy, so that's understandable. The problem I have is the server, Kyung G, was walking around the entire time making inpatient noises and sly comments constantly. If you don't like your job, find another one. I would suggest if you go here, request a different server if you get her. Other than that, it was all really good.

    Awesome place to eat, fantastic food and ice cream! Disabled friendly, very nice servers, I guess it's in the name " Friendly's".

I sometimes just…read morecrave simple basic food, no frills.( Although they do have many options for add ones and "fancier" burgers). This bar still has the best value for food, in my opinion. The basic burger is 8 oz and priced to include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and chips. Sides like fries, onion rings, macaroni salad or regular salad can be purchased to add on. I got the basic burger, medium rare and added a small size Caesar salad. My total was $12.... UNBELIEVABLE value. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. My friend had a burger with several toppings and the onion rings looked amazing. My Caesar dressing tasted homemade. You order at a window and pay, then they call your name or buzz you when it's ready. We sat outside on this warm beautiful day in the shade with a nice breeze.

I had the Seafood Alexander (amazing). Their steaks were tender and delicious. The service was top notch. The Owner, Charlie, came around to the tables to check on us. We made reservations at the last minute, so we ended up in the "overflow" room, which was in a seperate room from the main restaurant. I would suggest if you go with younger kids (which we did) you book this area. The Ambience in both areas was great. We walked through the main restaurant which was dimly lit and had music. Perfect for a well deserved, relaxed evening. The Overflow room was more lit and quiet, for a relaxed evening with conversation. We're looking forward to another night out there!

    I am compelled to leave an honest and disappointing review…read more As with many in the area at graduation, we were looking for a place to have a great meal and we were excited to learn about a steakhouse that was super attentive and provided quality and well cooked meals. We were extra excited by what seemed to be their signature dish, steak and mashed potatoes. Well, we had an 8pm reservation, which to me is normal time, but seems to be like a last seating for this restaurant. The place was full upon entering but emptied out quickly during our meal experience. It was just our immediate family of 4. Started with cocktails and proceeded to order the seafood trio app, which was good. Wedge salad, which was also good. Had a nice waitress who had a good sense of humor. The rest went downhill. We all ordered different types of steaks and 3 of 4 medium rare, one NY Strip medium. Ordered a side of Brussel sprouts and some other accompanying sauces. All 3 steaks came out in variations of well done - gross! On an even more disappointing note, we were told there is no more mashed potatoes, which is why we chose this place, and then told only 2 baked potatoes, so we had to decide who gets it and who doesn't. A TERRIBLE thing to happen at a steak restaurant, in addition to ruining what seemed to be quality steaks. The Brussel sprouts came out overly well done drenched in their sauce. Bite into any of them and they were totally deflated and not good. We couldn't even eat it. The waitress came back and asked how things were... my wife's fillet was so over cooked the waitress even agreed and offered to remake. By this time it was almost 9:15 and she lost her appetite. The three of us just didn't mention how ours were because it would have just caused chaos that none of us wanted. We NEVER send back food, but in this case, hers was insanely overcooked. We asked to have it removed from the bill, which they did. Regardless, we dropped $430, including a $70 tip (because I am generous... waitress should have done a lot more for us when noticing the quality of what was served to us) for the 4 of us, with only 3 main meals. Just a real poor experience. I'm hoping this was just an isolated happening, but completely upset it happened to us for my daughter's graduation, son's 25th Bday and our 27th Anniversary. All that weekend. Advice to owner: please ensure you have enough product for your reservations. We were not walk-ins. Then, listen to the customer's request for how they prefer their steaks to be cooked and serve as ordered. 8pm reservation should not make a difference from a 6pm. I'm just really disappointed and wish we went to Ts instead, but liked the idea of smaller and more intimate.

    It's been a while since I'd last been but everything is as amazing as I remembered…read more I've seen them advertise their monthly "flight night" events for some time but never actually had been to one. When I saw an espresso martini and cake pairing, I knew I had to pull the trigger. Met up with some friends and we all ordered food beforehand to offset the impending sugar rush. I'd had their naan pizza in the past and loved it, so this time I went with the one that had caramelized onions and goat cheese. AMAZING. Crispy crust, melty cheese, tangy onions and the perfect amount of everything in every bite. Then onto the main event: the flights! The staff brought over our cake and drinks and were so great about explaining what to pair together. (There was also a card) Desserts were a carrot cake with the most impossibly airy icing, a pistachio cheesecake with chocolate ganache, and a chocolate cake with a light nutella icing. I'm usually a carrot cake girlie and while I enjoyed it, the cheesecake was actually my favorite. Just the perfect pistachio flavor and a wonderful consistency -- so, so smooth. Our waitress told us that the owner is the one that makes all of the desserts too. A multi-talented queen. As far as the martinis, my favorite was the affogato one. These flight-nights are one-off events and the items aren't normally on the menu, so if you see one that looks extra appealing, get yourself there! I've been for normal service too though, and honestly, never have had a misfire here. One thing I especially love is the option to order drinks in 5oz pours, a godsend for lightweights like me. Ambiance, food, drinks, all excellent.

Since I was in the neighborhood, I peeked into Meier's Creek to see what was on the menu and order take out. They have a service area at the bar specifically for folks to walk up and order (they also have seats at the bar and seats at tables). The restaurant did get a lot of sun as it's a corner restaurant and there is some patio seating. I put in an order for the Huli-Huli Pizza, Pizza 'Da Bayou, and Beignets to-go. The server was quick and attentive. The food came out within 15 minutes or so and time felt like it went by quickly. I instantly took pictures of the food because I was so excited for it! If you're avoiding, allergic to, or do not enjoy marinara/tomato sauced pizza, then these were two great garlic oil based options! The Pizza 'Da Bayou was a savory option and the Huli-Huli Pizza was a tasty sweet option. The beignets were still warm when they got home, but they're definitely best eaten fresh. I'll certainly be back to check out more on the menu and maybe check out what's on draft.

Overall I'd say a great place to get a couple beers before going out to dinner. Always like a good fresh craft beer and that's what they've got. Get the beer. Pass on the food.
