    I just ran the Disney Marathon and stumbled across Friendly's located 10 min away from Disney's property!!! Post-race treats from Friendly's could not be more ideal. If you know me, you know I love Friendly's. I had NO clue there was one in Florida?! I really thought they were just a Northeast thing. I got a Royal razz and a peanut butter friend-z. Heaven. So so good. This friendlys is also huge! There was also a good amount of people dining in too! We love to see it. The service was quick and friendly (pun intended). I'm so glad I found this location.

    This is the cleanest Friendly's I've ever been to. Friendly's was one of my favorite places as a kid and it was fun to share that with my daughter. I ordered the pastrami super melt. It was good. My daughter got kids Mac n cheese. The sundae was obviously the best part! I LOVE peanut butter, so our amazing server helped me create a very peanut buttery sundae, which was delicious! My daughter got a banana split. She doesn't usually finish her food (even dessert!), but she finished that sundae! I had coupons and my server made sure to use the one the gave us the best discount, which I appreciate!

    Havnt been to this one but it looks new. Right down the street from our hotel so good spot on our way out. Food was really good. Had a BELT with a nice runny egg. Nice portion size. Potatoes were nice as well Deb had the 222 with 2 pancakes, bacon and eggs. Pancakes were yummy!! John Our server was awesome. Friendly and helpful. Loved the vibe and music. Will probably make this our go to on our way out or if we want a late night snack when we are over.

    We no longer have these where we live so we had to stop by. Everything inside looked exactly the same as we remembered but the menu was larger than expected. We ordered some sandwiches and soup which were nice but honestly we were most excited for the ice cream. It was delicious as ever and we loved the presentation of the three sample ice cream cone.

    Went last night after a long day at Disney. Wait wasn't too long! The host was also bussing tables, taking names and serving food. He was such a hard worker! When we were seated, our server Alicia (I could be spelling this wrong) was amazing! I don't say that often, but it's true. She was so attentive, kind and brought our whole table all the drinks we ask for as we were so thirsty from a hot day! Food was just like I remember! Good quality food at good prices! And the ice cream! Yumm!!! Lots of seating and a carry out station for food or ice cream! We will 100% go back, even if just for carry out when we are in Orlando.

    I do it to myself at this point with back to back to back to back bad visits, but it's so hard not to come when it's my favorite flavor ice cream of all time. The service here is bad. Like BAD bad. The restaurant was empty - it was 9:30pm with a single table inside. The guy who approached me at the to-go counter looked like he didn't want to be there. I got an email that if I downloaded the app I'd get a free sundae so I did just that. I showed the worker my coupon, he put my order in then told me "oh if you download the app the same day then you can't use the coupon it's because they want you to come back" .....on the app it doesn't have a start date only that it expires 30 days after earning. I had to pay for my sundae and let me tell you, the MEASLIEST scoops in a medium sundae and the peanut butter sauce was so thin and he only did one pump (other workers have given more than 1 pump and I've never seen it this watery). I got about 8 spoonfuls of ice cream out of my whole ice cream, NOT worth the +$6 they charge. Like I said earlier, it's a miracle I come back but man does this place keep disappointing me EVERY time.

    As a family we went to Friendly's when the kids were young, however ours no longer exists in town. So, when we saw the one in Orlando we had to go! It was a trip down memory lane with the kids meals and great food. The Cobb salad was tops! The service was superb and the meals came out fast. The ambiance is that of a 50s style diner, but not as decorated as others. Good dependable restaurant. Enjoy!

    Nostalgic and brought back sp many memories. Friendly's closed in NY by my location so I was excited when we found one in Orlando. I've cream was delicious. The food was good. Casual and relaxed restaurant. Service was a little slow.

    This place is so good! It's normally had good ambiance and they play nice music too, that fit the comforting theme of the restaurant. The service is great! Everyone is so nice!

    While Friendly's may be fondly remembered for their family friendly food and fun deserts, they current incarnation is more all over the place with a generic "American" menu, generally not great service and an odd problem of frequently being out of items. This location has really struggled since opening and while it is still an OK option in an area completely full of every chain restaurant known to man, nostalgia and not the food or service is why most will choose to return.

    I always come here for the ice cream! Admittedly I've never had their regular food and that's ok! I have a lot of family from the eastern seaboard, and Friendly's has always been a staple for them! I always get a Jim Dandy since I don't get to go often. A Jim Dandy is a hand crafted sundae tailored to any and everything you could ever want! Service here is always friendly and fast! I hope this chain continues to thrive, and this location is an excellent reflection of the best in the Friendly's franchise!

    I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

    Taste: 4/5 Value:…read more4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty solid burger spot that, as the name suggests, lets you fully customize your burger. They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

Shame on me for not getting her name and giving her a shout out. Anyhow.... Stopped in with my son and we decide to sit inside and enjoy our meal. I'm considered a Senior. And they have a Senior menu. That is so awesome. I got the cheese burger and it came with a small fry and small drink. My son got the patty melt meal with fries and a drink. So good. The cheese burger was fresh and so delicious. The fries are yummy too. They have fry sauce that was ok. But I'm good with some ketchup. lol. Can't wait to go back. Wish one was in Tampa.

When I asked if the kids ice cream could come with no sprinkles the staff refused stating they were premade and if she couldn't have sprinkles there was chocolate. We also asked them to hold the ice cream until we were done our meal and although she said that was fine it still came out on our tray. The food was subpar at best (except the fries, those were great but honestly how do you mess up fries). The burgers were dry, very salty, and more burnt around the edges than a smash burger should be. If you're between Freddy's or Culver's, always choose Culver's.
