Useless staff and management. More employees than tables sat and they are seriously in the weeds. Employees standing around while tables need bused, pre-bused, trash on the floor. The table next to us had to ask the staff to take away the dinner plates when the brought out the ice cream. 10 minute wait while there are only a few tables occupied. Whipped cream on sundae was warm and melted when brought to the table. Got tired of waiting for the check and ended up just leaving money on the table. Do yourself a favor a go somewhere else read more

Walked in happy to eat, walked out even happier to leave. Our sever (Payton) yelled at the hostess in front of us, rolled her eyes at us when we ordered, and said the cooks were being crazy because they messed up our order. The restaurant was dirty and uninviting, they definitely need to get reinspected because they do not deserve an A rating. They messed up two things that we ordered and charged us incorrectly. If you want terrible food and service this is the place for you, otherwise go elsewhere. read more

We wanted some ice cream and had heard that Friendly's at the best around so on a road trip passing through Myrtle Beach South Carolina, we decided to stop. This bubbly young girl named Peyton was our server. We sat at the counter and ordered our ice cream and we received exceptional customer service from our server Peyton. Just wanted to let you know that she is definitely an asset to your company thank you Peyton for making our stop so enjoyable and thank you Friendly's for the best ice cream sundae I've ever had. read more

A friend had recommended going to Friendly's for breakfast Wanting to try something unique to the area I ordered the "Southern Breakfast" which came with 3 eggs, choice of meat, biscuit & gravy I have noticed that portion sizes are typically pretty large in the South and was expecting a much larger portion. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The portion was actually a good size for me The biscuit, bacon & eggs were pretty much typical breakfast fare, but not knowing much about gravy, I must say the gravy was very good! Very delicious! The service was quite slow, and the restaurant is old, dated, and could be cleaner Overall, a rather average experience I wouldn't recommend to others, and there are a lot of other options for breakfast in the same area read more

Very very slow had to wait 20 min to be seated and there were 15 empty tables I guess that they just don't have the staff to serve people and then it was a long wait for and let's fade it it's friendlys no dish here is complicated The men's bathroom is bad ripped wallpaper broken towel machine The icream was good read more

Our waitress was awesome. The beef stroganoff was warm and delicious. The ice cream... yum!

We stopped in here for dinner - since everyone wanted something different. However, we could all agree on ice cream. Food was great and service was even better! I highly suggest the tomato bisque. . The selection of ice cream and sundaes made it hard to choose just one. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food just as I remember. I worked at a friendlys in Ohio and I miss the ice cream Jim Dandys. Nice friendly people

My wife and I stopped in for a late dinner. There was two girls at the hostess station, a few cashiers and several waitresses. First off you would expect a place called "Friendly's" to actually be friendly. There was not a single person smiling but rather had a look of boredom and irritability for having to be there at all. After a long wait for nothing more than an appetizer sampler with sliders, our food was brought to us by a woman other than our own waitress and just sat down on the table with no word, no smile and no care if we needed anything else. We waited on refills and utensils while our food got close to cold. My advice to the staff...if you don't like your job, quit!! My advice to the owner...if they can't treat customers better and make it their goal to give customers a fun experience, fire them!! The only two workers that was smiling that we observed were two white servers. Sorry not being racial but only way I can point out the ones without a pissed off look on their faces. read more

With 4 kids finding a restaurant that has a little of everything is tough...but...the kids settled on "Friendly's." The food was good but where they came through was on their service. Our servers name was "Jaime." She did a fantastic job! The kids had burgers but the main event was the icecream...alot of it! Overall a good experience marked with really good service. read more

Sharlyn is such a great waiter ! I'm vegetarian and wanted a chicken salad without the chicken but didn't want to pay full price . She explained to me that she would still have to charge me but would make sure to load it with a bunch of veggies . A lot of places don't do this ! The food was alright but the service was amazing read more

I almost didn't come in the door I'm real picky with where I eat! I'm so glad I did wow what a nice surprise the food is delicious!! The staff was very friendly! My son had a burger it was the best he had ever had it had garlic butter on the bun ! Sooooo good ! We will be back on our vacation and good prices too. read more

It seemed like a good idea at the time. In my defense my wife shot down all my ideas for where we should eat. We were tired, hangry and came here by default, thanks to happy childhood memories of watermelon sherbet and pistachio ice cream. Still, it is reasonable to expect fresh and delicious food brought to your table in a timely fashion. Sadly, this location offers none of these things. The menu was boring as f#%*. I got some awful chicken tender thing because I was exhausted from staring at the menu trying to find something that looked appetizing. The dining room was clearly overstaffed for the 3 families that were in there, and it was puzzling how two chicken tender based entrees and a kids pizza could have taken over half hour to move from the freezer our table. Our meal came with a happy ending sundae and the ice cream was actually as good as I remember (after waiting and waiting). After what we endured, the sundaes WERE a happy ending. I might consider coming back JUST for the ice cream, but never on vacation where time is precious and there as so many places to choose from. read more

The service here was really good. I have visited the old Friendly's restaurant in Eustis, FL while there visiting relatives, so I was astounded to find a few of them in Myrtle Beach. I tried their "Honey BBQ Chicken Supermelt". This was a delicious, melty chicken sandwich. On the side I had some loaded waffle fries. Good fries! But, I did not like the cheese very much. It's that type of nacho cheese sauce. However, I did enjoy their sweet tea. I'd suggest trying Friendly's on N. Kings Highway. It most certainly was "Friendly". read more

The service was great. The food was delicious. The price was right and they had some excellent ice cream. Parking was easy to get in and out off. read more

What a great experience overall, little bit of a wait but what can you expect with a country wide staffing issue, if you aren't okay having to wait a little bit at a restaurant maybe you should go try working at one! Our waitress was Toniann and she was so wonderful and helpful, the food and ice cream was delicious! Nice to see one of my favorite childhood restaurants still killing it read more

if zero was possible i would the price for the food is completely expensive for the quality of food better off stopping at a fast food restaurant, my bread was toasted so hard i choked on the inhalation of the crumbs while chewing didn't even get to swallow my food! the waiter wasn't awful just seemed like he hated his job, and then when we were checking out we were with a group of 11 but split bills one bill being a group of 7 and one of 4 and by all means charge us the gratuity for the 7! however you do not charge for anything under a group of 6! and they charged my aunt the group of 4 for an 18% gratuity and when brought up to mangers said its posted everywhere yeah for any party containing 6 or more they are just money hungery people who need to get their stuff straight because to me it definitely felt like my family and i were scammed. read more

Darrell made my experience amazing. He was truly one of the best servers I have ever had in Myrtle Beach. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves for his service. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. read more

Friendly's ice cream Sundays took my husband and I back to our childhood. Thanks for keeping up the tradition, flavors and memories of my childhood! read more

Great breakfasts, excellent service.

Very disappointing. We went at 1:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. There were maybe three tables of families eating and the hostess came up to tell us they were not taking any more customers. She wasn't even nice when she said it. I understand the Covid shortage of help but really - your hours say you are open to 1030pm. read more

Great restaurant for breakfast. Excellent grits, good biscuits, fluffty scrambled eggs...Clean and quick service. Only serves french toast, pancakes, biscuits, no waffles, no turkey bacon... The food was very good, hot and very reasonable 20.00 will feed 2 adults. read more

The food was great, no waiting, however the service was HORRIBLE. Didn't ring things up right; we asked for refills; and another server brought our food out. This server was personable, ensured we were ok, and that the food was correct. The food was fantastic, all different types of sandwiches on the menu, and no one had a complaint regarding the food or portion size. read more

I have to say the food we ate was good however the rest of the experience was not worth our time. We were seated quickly but then had to wait several minutes to be waited on. We got our drinks and then had to wait several more minutes and they were not busy at all. The waitress wanted to argue with us when we ordered and we had to show her what the menu said. They didn't want to accept our coupon and then the manager wanted to accept the coupon only at a lower discount than what it read. read more

Food was good. Service was ok. They weren't crazy busy but they had a few big parties, including ours. Our waitress tried hard to keep up with her section. There appeared to be too many people "working" the front...including the princess who talked down so us when we asked her to remove a divider so we could be at a booth instead of a table. She claimed that wasn't done...but we've been here before and they did. So idk what the problem was.... read more

Very good place for breakfast The chicken bacon ranch waffle fries were to die for Will definitely try to come back here for the ice cream read more

Just went for ice cream. It's very old feeling. Not well lit. There's a faint musty odor. Ceiling tiles stained and bench seats pulling away from the wall. A lot of empty space also. Our waitress asked if we wanted water. We said just one. Never got it and the receipt said we wanted 2. There were quite a few people eating there, though. read more

We come here when we are in town because my husband grew up on friendly's ice cream up north, and so now our kids get Friendly's when we're on vacation/visiting nearby family. We usually take it to go and have it as a dessert at our hotel. Staff has always been courteous and restaurant has always been clean. read more

Logan was great server! He made our experience fun and he was very friendly and professional.Food was the freshest and most fantastic food we ate the whole trip. Forget Broadway at the Beach. This Friendly's is the place to eat! They don't serve booze but nice for everyone to get something healthy or something not so healthy but oh.... so awesome. The sriracha burger was perfect. The turkey club melt was heaven on earth. If you are over 60, you get a free sundae with your meal. I guess I have to wait. read more

How do you run out of peanut butter sauce at a Friendly's in winter? That's only good thing here??!! But the severs were nice

Friendly's is the reason I come to Myrtle Beach all the way from Texas. Lol When we come to visit family, Friendly's is first on our list of must do's. We come back as often as possible for the ice cream mostly, but yesterday we picked up some lunch for a beach picnic and the food was excellent! The chicken blt sandwich was amazing and salads were super fresh and flavorful. We still have a few more days here so we will definitely be back! See you soon Friendly's! read more

Friendly's is the best!!!! Breakfast served all day! Definitely not just an ice cream joint. Great for lunch & dinner as well. This location was clean with great customer service. Will definitely come back! read more

Pure nostalgia for me. I have not been to a Friendly's restaurant in years. It was everywhere up north pretty much. Saw Friendly's pop up in my search for ice cream places. We got lucky and got vouchers for free food too. This location was nearly empty on a Saturday afternoon. Got our ice cream within a few minutes and enjoyed every bite. Menu prices aren't too bad as well. read more
