Customizing your cup of rolled ice cream with the toppings that you want is so fun! I love how their attention to detail makes your ice cream so tasty and it also feels a little extra. They take pride in getting your dessert just right. I would have no issue getting a sweet treat no matter the weather. The bonus was also getting a mango as well as passion fruit tea along with a pistachio cup and mint chocolate chip cup of ice cream. This place brings out the kid in all of us. The toppings really make it, and it's definitely a delicious guilty pleasure. So worth it!

"Taco Tuesday" "prime Rib night" Cons: Menu said the entrees came with bread service, but no bread was received. I was looking forward to the bread, but felt uncomfortable outright asking because the server was being so kind and trying their best. Staffing: It was not too busy, as there were around 5 tables seated and 6 people at the bar. Service speed was slow, but there was good reason for this as they're down one staff member. It was unclear if the kitchen was cranking out room service orders for the Hilton as well since I went on the day of the Belmont. Ambiance: There is a lovely photo-op wall with a neon sign and disco like backdrop! Each table has flowers and a candle and the tables are sturdy. Taste: Enjoyed the food that I ordered and felt the portions were appropriate and well portioned for the pricing. My server, Bruno, he assisted me with a new menu item that they just placed on the menu, the Lemon Chicken. It was tart and the chicken skin was crisp.

Upgraded review -- our last one was 14 years ago! It is a bit of happy new news and a bit of same…read moreold, same old to report. So whatever happened with the Friendly's that weren't shut down, under private equity management post-bankruptcy, is mostly working. The quality of the food at our last few locations has been really good. The service here was quite good, although the servers were still just a wee bit overworked, it could not have been nicer or more solicitous. What struck us coming back to this particular location was two things: first, the food is much, much better. Fish sandwiches with real fish filets! French fries that tasted like real potatoes! Cole slaw with a (drum roll) unique flavor (we couldn't nail it down, the secret ingredient was vaguely mustardy). Gazing around at other diners' plates, we saw really good presentation, and nice portions. The second thing is they are definitely spiffier. A lot of the locations had a sad, threadbare look to them a few years back. This one, like the one we went to in Connecticut last year, looked fresher and less desperate, while managing to still look like every Friendly's ever. They haven't really done a re-skinning: they just put some effort into cleaning things up and replacing old fixtures. The tables and silverware were clean and the restrooms spotless. So, the not-so-wonderful aspects. First: while we had really great service being seated and taking our orders, the kitchen is s-l-o-o-o-o-w. This seems to be the MO at every Friendly's these days -- great front of the house service, backed up kitchen management. We were actually split into two parties in two different sections, and one of us had to wait a half hour between order and food and the other nearly 40 minutes. That is probably unacceptable to most people, but we were on a quite relaxed pace this particular evening so it did not rankle much. That said, with half the tables empty, this really needs to be addressed before we can say we're back to good-old-friendly's. Second: no big surprise, the prices are up from the last time we were here. Basically they are 50% higher -- two people ordering less expensive plates and no beverages other than table water was more than $30, tip not included. The other table in our party was closer to $20 a person. I may just be getting old, but that seems like a lot. However, the internet tells me the average for all food prices is up 42%, and there have been some labor law changes as well, so....technically I can't complain, because adjusted for inflation, these are the same prices we paid for the same meal 12 years ago. I will put it this way: Friendly's is safe once again for those going with nostalgia in mind, and little kids adore it (they were in most parties that were not seniors getting their senior discount). Whether it's a go-to place when you want diner style comfort food again remains to be seen. But I do want to give them kudos for improving, and if you have been turned off in recent years, take a look at this location and check it out. Just be prepared for a long wait from the kitchen.

Lunch here with my mom was a spur-of-the-moment decision as we were driving down I-87. She had…read morecommented that she hadn't been to a Friendly's since the one in Saratoga had closed several years ago. With so few of them left in the area, I figured this was a good time to go to one. If you have mobility issues, it may be tough getting inside. There's 4 handicap parking spots in the front of the restaurant, and when they are full (which they were when we arrived), it is a lot tougher for folks who need assistance to get in. The sloping part of the sidewalk is the part farthest away from the entrance. There's also not a lot of space inside near the hostess table to wait if it actually ever fills up here. Once we were seated, it was a lot better. Our waitress did a great time getting to all the tables on which she was waiting, without missing a beat. There was a second lady there as well, but I could not tell if she was a waitress, a hostess, or maybe the manager. She was definitely helping, but it didn't seem like she had any specific tables. I have no idea how many times their menu has changed in the many years since we've dined at a Friendly's. This menu was pretty streamlined, with many familiar entrees. But gone are the senior options and the free dessert ice cream options. Then, again, seeing that ice cream cones started at $4, maybe ice cream isn't something they're comfortable giving out at reduced prices any more. Our meals were actually quite good. Mom said she really enjoyed her bacon cheeseburger. My crispy chicken sandwich had a filet which was maybe a bit thinner than expected, but it was definitely crispy, accompanied by pickles, and fresh lettuce and tomato. We were able to substitute cole slaw for fries with no issues. Even though everything on the menu is designed to be prepared fairly quickly, it's definitely not someplace to come if you're in a rush.

While running errands a few days ago I actually stopped in JUST to pick up a side of rice and a small cup of their creamy dill sauce (which tastes amazing on everything). Fresh ingredients that are seasoned beautifully and plates that are crafted to satisfy and bring happiness to your tummy and your heart. I want to thank Pita and Olive for providing us with nourishment during some pretty chaotic and sad times.

Three items ordered, fabulous choices. Steamed pork Bao which came in a 3 piece dim sum basket. The dough was wonderfully soft and fluffy texture expected of a good bao dough.

Ratio of filling to wrapper was excellent, again well seasoned, with a very savory soup. I really enjoyed the fried noodles with chicken. The noodles were enough for two people, and if I'm using the word generous too often ,it's because the amount of food in the bowl was unreal.

The gyoza were particularly good! I would probably go back just for that. The passion fruit tea that I ordered was also very good. The ramen however was okay. It wasn't bad but not great either. I wouldn't come back to order it here. I would come back to try some of the other things on the menu though. Maybe they need to expand slightly beyond ramen? Or put more fresh ingredients in their ramen to make it more exciting snd appealing to eat on it's own. I don't love it when it's just noodles and corn like the cup of noodles that you buy at the store in those styrofoam cups. Kind of a let down.
