We stopped here on our way back to MD after a great day at the beach. The service was so good and we really had a great time. The kids loved their chicken nuggets. The adults had various sandwiches. The fry portions were generous and we ended up with a Togo box because we couldn't leave without ice cream. It seemed like an updated version of the restaurant with all the seating in good condition. It was bright and clean. read more

Friendly's - American Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

While vacationing in RB was pleasantly surprised that nearby our airBnB was a Friendly'. Our housemates all ordered sundaes so it was a fairly large order. But, alas 2 of our orders were not to their liking. Specifically wrote no vanilla on a Reese's pieces sundae (order was placed online) and it came with just vanilla ice cream and the Banana Split arrived without a banana! This in itself is not earth shattering but since we are not locals we are unable to get new sundaes nor get refunds as our check out time was 10am. We are sorry we couldn't get our friendly's fix but also out our money. They, management, contacted us quickly to make amends but we hadn't the time to return. Everyone else was very happy with the sundae's ordered and I'm sure if we come upon another Friendly's we will partake of the icy creamy dessert refreshments. read more

Great service and attentive! Food is great I love it here! Everyone was very welcoming and loving. I recommend this spot for anyone looking for some yummy eats! read more

Pam was awesome! Great food, ambiance & service!!! We were so happy to find a Friendly's in the area.

We came here again last night for dessert and have another very good visit! We were seated immediately without making a reservation, which was nice. And the ice cream for dessert was delicious!! We all got the Reese's pieces ice cream sundaes, and they were money. The ice cream was fresh, and the Reese's pieces topping and peanut butter sauce was on point. It was a five star trip for dessert. We will be back! read more

Great food and great service. Our waitress was amazing. He was very attentive and the food was really great and reasonable priced

We did a take out order for our family of four. Our one daughter is autistic (adult) and is very limited on food choices she can tolerate. She ordered Mac & Cheese but when we got the order home it was missing. A few moments later we received a phone call from the store apologizing. They got my address and delivered the Mac & Cheese for us. Not only was it hot, it was more than we had originally ordered. Very impressed with the service and the food and the staff went over and above! Thank you! read more

The service was decent, the place is kinda small, the food itself self is ok. I would say the highlight of the place is the ice cream.

Pamela was an awesome server. Very pleased with our service at the Rehobeth Beach Friendly's

Hello, I am confused whether to leave a complaint or to tell you that you fell short. I first went to the restaurant, and I went inside at the front door. There were a group of people waiting to be sat. None of the workers acknowledged us or tried to see us, really anybody at the door. There were about 4 other families there and no one was greeted. This being my first time at Friendly's, I didn't know what to expect. After about 5-8 minutes we decided to leave and try the drive through. While at the window, I called in the speaker for someone to connect and take my order. After that I drove up to the window and I saw workers look at my car make eye contact with me. Still no one came to my car to assist me. I was extremely dissatisfied with my experience at Friendly's. read more

We had great service today at the friendlys! Food was great, service was the best and you can't beat the ice cream. It wasn't super busy which was nice. read more

I did carryout of a sundae. Delicious chocolate Scoops, caramel, hot fudge and whipped cream. The associate, Diana, was very pleasant and helpful! The renovated tables look very inviting. I'll.definitely go back!​ read more

My husband and I ate dinner here about 7 pm on a Saturday night. My grilled cheese was delicious with buttery bread and oozing cheese. I was able to have tomato soup instead of French fries. My husband had a tuna sandwich with chicken noodle soup instead of French fries. We ended our fabulous meal with a happy ending sundae. We've been going to Friendly's for years, and this one is the best one we've eaten in! read more

fast and friendly service! easy drive thru experience with kids. Cheaper than McDonalds and we enjoyed ice cream, too! $6 kids meals with real chicken! read more

Ordered sundae to go through the app. It was ready when promised. I walked in gave my name and the employee promptly removed my order from the freezer already in a bag. Friendly, prompt and delicious ice cream! read more

Food was horrible and restaurant wasn't very clean. Update: So I wanted to update this to the fraud that this restaurant has committed. First and foremost let me clarity what I wrote in yesterday's review. The burger I had order first of all wasn't fully cooked through and was super thin just as thin as a McDouble patty. Not to mention it tasted freezer burn and really old meat. Also the picture of the burger in the menu wasn't what I expected. Second part of that clarification is how dirty the restaurant was. There was black all over the window seals. The ketchup bottle at my table had dirt all over it and was super greasy and nasty. There was dirt on floor under table also. Very unclean. Now for the fraud part see attach photos. I pay $35.37 for my food. I added a $3 dollar tip to make the total $38.37. I get a updated transaction for a amount in $41.74 so I guess the guy who waited on us though a $3 dollar tip was to low for him and decided he would make his tip $6.37 cents. Guess what buddy I'm disputing it with my bank and not only that will be filing a formal complaint with Friendly's corporate and possible police report now also. It's not even about the small amount of the increase but the fraud that you decided to do. I hope no one eats here after this. This restaurant is a fraud and very dirty and food is absolutely disgusting. If I could give this place zero stars I would! read more

More customer service. We went there to get ice cream cake, not to mention that the 2 boxes of ice cream cake in the display is messed up, as if it fell off a truck. And they don't have anything in the back. I give this restaurant a 2 stars, the waitress looks like they don't want to be here to work, not a happy place. read more

We were blessed to be served by the mgr (08/16) in the evening. She was warm, welcoming, friendly and attentive to all of our needs. The food was also good and came out quick. All of the desserts we had were out of this world!!! read more

Love the food! As always! Staff are always friendly and Pam is phenomenal. We had her many times and she is so friendly very accomodating and you can tell she is hardworking. read more

Clean space great grilled cheese and tomato soup. Wonderful attentive Pamela for our waitress. And of course delicious Happy Endi g sundae!

We are in town on vacation. Our kids usually eat so so when we go out but have done well before at Friendly's ... so we went for it. We found out they'd just reopened after a two year hiatus. We are kinda chatty people and the guests waiting to be seated we're all enjoying chatting. I tried to engage the front area staff and they all got quiet. It was kind of weird. There was a new hostess who was fantastic though. Dinner and desserts were great. I felt it was a bit pricy. When you notice you can eat at Chick-fil-A three times for the same cost as one trip to Friendly's ... seems just a bit high. Food was good though! We had Mac N Cheese, fries, applesauce, mandarin oranges, a quesadilla and some seafood pasta. We ordered ranch for dipping and it didn't come out, we had to ask again. My wife's shake came out a while after all the kids desserts and wasn't what she'd ordered. But for two weeks in, service was pretty good. We would definitely eat here again but not if on a budget. read more

Ms. Pam was a wonderful server and made our exp even better banana split was A M A Z I N G

Ordered a Reece's pieces sundae from Uber eats and I received a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate instead. Terrible service. Got my money back from Uber. How hard is it to read an order and make a sundae. read more

If I could rate a zero I would just left this location. Where every employees was having a meeting in the kitchen while a table of four was seated and eating. I think a cook held a finger up at me finally after making eye contact at least three times prior. At that point we just left also coke and drinks in the kitchen bro g o summed by workers while they are back there. We wont be back read more

Pamela K, Ms. Pam, at the Rehoboth Beach location made it an experience to remember. She was friendly, personable and efficient. Ms. Pam personally handcrafted our desserts. Each one was met with rave reviews as well as a flood of nostalgia for Dad. The boys made sure to get every last drop while Mom savored hers. If you come to the Rehoboth Beach location on Coastal highway, ask for Ms. Pam. read more

I will definitely cry if Friendly's goes out of business! Whenever I get myself close enough to where there maybe one I always hit them up. My go to meal is always a simple grilled cheese, with french fries, and chicken noodle soup. Then I follow up with a Reese's PB sundae that has extra fudge and peanut butter sauce. Go big or go home folks! I wish they bottled the peanut butter sauce and the hot fudge! I would buy that ALL the time. The pricing is and has always been great. Our service at this location was amazing. They all work together getting food out, and clearing the tables. Friendly's ice cream is delightful! read more

Newly re-opened with new staff and interior. I hope new management reads this so they know where to improve! Facility: New exterior looks nice. New interior is a bit crowded; sad they got rid of most of the booths. Bathrooms were expanded from before but still only 1person at a time. They definitely need attention more often. Staff: The new staff in training are all are super young and but very friendly. Understanding they're in training, they do need some work. Food: Quality of the food is definitely down. Portion sizes are nowhere near what they used to be. We used to come here and easily filled up. This time we left still hungry. Fries were overdone and bland. Bread on my super-melt could use more toasting and needed a lot more filling. For some reason they are out of normal size hamburger buns (I'll blame COVID on that), but the patty was mashed down to look larger, making it thin. Looked similar to a Wendy's beef patty. Deserts are an exception though; still the same good quality Friendly's Ice cream. Overall, eh, it was okay. Not sure we'll return; a lot of money for so little food. read more

Burned chicken sandwich, casadilla empty ... $26 hours of work to get to this day lol but I'm still waiting

Totally rude worker locked doors 20 minutes early and ignored us at door. People inside eating still. We just wanted take out from the carry out case. Worker looked at my husband and I standing at door, acknowledged us with a head nod, then kept going and left us standing there at the door. We waited a few minutes and even knocked and he ignored us. Very rude behavior from whoever closed tonight 10/24/24. read more

the entire experience was horrible the only edible items that were enjoyable were the sandwiches and the soup everything else was just horrible include the customer service our server took too long to get to us for our order there were dirty tables everywhere with very little seating available it was completely and totally messy from the dining area to the restroom the dover store always received glowing 5 star reviews while the rehoboth store should be closed for good our experience was so horrible that we will not be returning to the rehoboth restaurant ever again and we will not recommend it to our family and friends it just sucked i rate it a 0 out of 5 stars our experience was the worst experience in the history of worst experiences read more

This friendlys better not close down. I don't live in Delaware but I always try to find a Friendlys when I am on vacation because the quality for the price is amazing! This location was the best I've ran into yet! My server Lisa was amazing!!! She was quick and she was perfect with her customer service. I had to tip her well because she was on point with literally EVERYTHING! This location is busy and I'm not surprised as to why it's busy. People know it's good! The booths are a little tight but it's not the end of the world. Lol The food was soooo good. Even though it was just a chicken melt? It was one of the best melts I've had in a very long time. Ice cream was good too! I still buy it from the grocery store when I see them on sale lol When I go to Delaware I am going to come back! read more

Our take out was blah! The best entree was the kids chicken tenders ( moist w fries and a drink). The grilled Caesar salad was terrible. Iceberg lettuce was brown, portion was meager and grilled chicken was tasteless- unbelievable for 13 bucks! Yuck. The burger was ok but no better than a Mac Donald's for half the price. Service at the drive through was friendly and reasonably timely which is why we gave them stars @ all. read more

Worst experience I have ever received in a restaurant!!! I've been in the business for 30 years and never experienced anything like this...slow service, no apologies, wrong food, waiting for refills, waiting for checks, management rude and unprofessional and unfriendly...DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Very sad!!! read more

Stopped in for lunch and was told immediately that they were short-staffed that day and it might be a little wait. I asked to order food to go and I'd return at a time that would give staff time to catch up with seated customers as the restaurant was full. Miss Pam immediately took my order and told me it wasn't necessary to come back later and to wait. She was everywhere, taking care of customers, backing up cook staff and the only other waitress I could see. The place was clean and welcoming and my food arrived in record time. Miss Pam couldn't have known, but coming to Friendly's for my son's birthday every year has become a tradition and we had driven an hour to get there. The service and the food didn't disappoint, thanks to Miss Pam's excellent customer service - despite being short staffed that day. She was amazing and we'll be back! read more

the food was delicious and the people were so nice and friendly stop by and get s food

My experience was very disappointing the couple times I have been here the restaurant staff was rude. Today we came in there were 5 tables already seated, we were waiting for someone to seat us we waited for over 15 minutes, then we were sat stating the writer will be back in 5-6 minutes... 30 minutes later we still have not asked for drinks. The table next to us was disgusting and they didn't clean it at all even after we left. After ordering our food, which was EXTREMELY disappointing we had to ask for our drinks again, everyone around us had glass cups with straws we received paper cups with no straws, he spilt the water all over my sister's phone, luckily not ruining it completely. The bathrooms are filthy there was no soap and my feet stuck to the floor, I swear this place hasn't been cleaned in forever, it was one staff member per 10 tables. We recived 1 napkin for 3 people, we recived no silverware what so ever. My grandmother did not recieve her free ice cream. Which is absolutely ridiculous, we waited for over 40 minutes for our bill. People where leaving the restaurant left and right. This restaurant is disgusting and am extremely disappointing! read more

They just opened back up and the staff is amazing and the food and service are fantastic. As will any place they are new and working out the kinks but I cannot say enough about the servers I have had and the management team that supports them!!! read more

I have given this Friendly's a chance twice and won't go back again. The first time I had a hamburger that was a thin frozen patty and wasn't very good. The second time I went there and ordered a crispy chicken wrap. I had to send the wrap back because the chicken wasn't cooked (it was pink). I will say the waitress was good and sundae was also. read more
