I haven't been to the friendly in 35 years, I came back to visit my folks here, stopped in for lunch, had a delicious cheeseburger, homemade humongous onion rings, and a Coca-Cola Jessica was my waitress, she was very attentive, excellent service, all the way around 5 perfect stars I can't wait to come back read more

The Friendly Rocks! Service is exceptional! Special shout out to Sam & Kelsey for always making it a fun experience! The burger is great , soup is oh so yummy, ribs are fall pff the bone delish! Highly recommend trying them! There is plenty of seating & parking. They run daily specials keeping it fresh. Don't miss this gem of a place you will LOVE it!! read more

Jessica was a wonderful server. Great personality and attentive. We each had the fish & chips. It was lightly breaded cod, cole slaw and pub fries 3 PCs of cod and it was lightly breaded and not fishy tasting. There was an ample serving of fries. The fish & fries were very freshlyade & hot when brought to us. I hesitantly say that while the fish was good it wasn't exceptional. Neither of us said we would order again BUT we would go back to The Friendly and try something else. Friday nights @ 4 they have ayce for 2.00 less. read more

Food took forever to come and when it did finally arrive it tasted terrible everything was just tasted like it was just air fried and crappy. Do not come here unless you want to wait 40 years for food and for it to be very disappointing and gross read more

We have gone to Friendly's for years when we lived in town. Came in town for Mother's Day. Last minute thought to get dinner with family. Easy St. was packed and we thought let's go to Friendly's. It will be our last time ever going. They weren't busy, the place was actually empty and the waitresses were all just standing around. That should have been our first clue to leave. Our waitress acted like she could care less that we were there. She never asked if anyone wanted refills or anything else to drink the entire meal, didn't bring someone's salad, didn't ask if anyone needed anything. We had to keep asking a bus boy to find our waitress. I had to send my meal back. Something was wrong with it. I didn't ask for it to be replaced. Just went without. Another person from our party was then up all night in the bathroom with an upset stomach. The prices have gone up which isn't new for any restaurant but costs up, portions down, tastes horrible and crappy service, that I won't do. Won't be back until there is new ownership. Where's Ray when you need him?! That's the only thing that might save this place. read more

Service was friendly. Ambiance was mellow. Had the salad with a large piece of grilled salmon.

Everyone's food was cold, when we complained they couldn't care less, thanks for a horrible mother's day meal and we won't be back

A hidden gem right off the expressway in the small town of Coloma. Worth the extra few minute drive past the fast food chains. Very affordable and the service lives up to the name of the bar! Large menu with a lot of good lunch and dinner selections. If you can get the potato and bacon soup, you should! read more

A close relative has a cabin on nearby Lake Paw Paw, so I am slowly working my way through the nearby restaurants. I am really puzzled why this was described as having many vegetarian options, because I saw few on the menu. I will do fish occasionally and was excited to see trout on the daily special. It was lightly pan fried - perfectly down. So a good meal. My nephew enjoyed his wings. Service was a little slow but with staffing shortages everywhere, it is not a big deal. read more

Incredibly, nice server tonight. I usually see Jessica who is an absolute rockstar too. The food here isn't great, but Coloma doesn't have a lot of options. However, the Super Nachos tonight were cRazY salted. Burn your mouth level of salt. Got through the top layer and then it was rough. Had to tap out. The manager offered 20% off. read more

Went here with my fiancé on Valentine's Day for A lunch date. The food was amazing. I highly recommend "The Reuben". It was my first time having this and it was delicious. Our waitress was very nice and attentive read more

Quick service! We got the steak and shrimp dinners with French onion & potato bacon soup. French onion was excellent, potato bacon tasted scorched. Steaks were overcooked. shrimp were rubbery and hard to bite through. The highlight of the meal was the cornbread muffin that somehow made it on the plate. read more

I've been coming here as long as I can remember. The French onion soup was Luke warm and I don't think there was bread on the bottom. I got nachos let the pic speak for itself. On the bright side the bartender was very nice and the beer was super cold! read more

The beer menu was quite extensive. Bottles and tap. My burger was delicious and cooked perfectly medium rare. My server was efficient but candidly not very friendly. The place is well lit and lots of space for large parties. Not what you would call a tavern. More like a family dining spot. Food was a definite 5! read more

Clean. I've cold beer. Daily specials. The fried food tastes like it is cooked in fresh oil. We went 3 times during the week. Once with 2 people, once with 4 and once with 10. Got the same great service all three times. No one had any complaints about anything there. Twice we got the tempura onion rings. One time they were not well drained BUT, they were still great. read more

Friendly Tavern is a delicious restaurant in downtown Coloma. My best friend enjoyed the attempt at the gluten free burger. She had wished they had used a bun rather than bread butshe didlike that the bread had sesame seeds. I really enjoyed my club wrap and was super excited that my sweet potato fries came with cinnamon sugar butter to go with it. Even my 5 year old nephew was stealing my fries. If you're looking for a chill place to enjoy a beer and meal before or after a movie, this is definitely a great option. read more

We stopped en route to Chicago from Detroit. Nice large salad and piece of healthy salmon with mango and cranberries.My spouse ordered the Reuben which was also quite good. He had an Arnold Palmer because he was driving but will definitely.come back for the beer one day. read more

Warm and cozy local place. They definitely live up to their name, very friendly! Good selection of food, clean and generally nice place. Burger was good, tasted homemade and nachos were pretty big. We were here years ago and that's why we can back, and I'm sure when we're thru here again, we'll stop! read more

The name fits! Friendly people at this small town bar/restaurant. I got a burger without a bun with a side of broccoli, they were more than happy to accommodate my gluten free requests (thank you)! I wish I took pictures while I was there. It kind of reminded me of a Cheers bar. I would definitely go back! read more

Went there last night to have a late dinner. Place wasn't busy at all and yet it took forever for our meal. Burger was not your normal burger. Absolutely no taste at all. Fries were barely warm. Not going back. Been there multiple times and we've always been disappointed. Grrrr read more

I came here for lunch with a group of friends and was blown away by the quality of service I received. I ordered the bbq pulled pork sandwich and could not believe how delicious it was. The pork was tender, juicy, and filled with flavor. The bbq sauce was house made and was fantastic. A special shoutout to Emily our server for the kind, speedy, friendly, and attentive service! read more

The Friendly always delivers great food, service and the ability to handle large groups.

I must say, I'm disappointed. I have been going to The Friendly Tavern for about 20 years. It's been about a 5 year period since I've been there and recently decided to go back. I'm not sure if within that time frame the owners have switched or just the kitchen but the food was terrible! We got fried pickles as well as a blackjack burger. The pickles were a large serving, but covered in grease and oil that left you feeling sick. Then the burger was similar. Oily and the actual patty tasted like a frozen patty they placed on the grill. Nothing tasted fresh and all of us were left feeling nauseous with half the food thrown out. I've been a customer for years like I said, but this unfortunately may have been our final visit. read more

Had combo chicken n steak fajita with three flour tortillas. It should have four tortillas. I asked the waitress if I could have one more but she mentioned it will charge for another three tortillas. Jeez! No thanks! had to finish up the meal one without tortilla. read more

We have visited a few times after going to the movies and have had a good experiences. Decent pub food for the small area and the service has always been nice. My dining guests love the spicy burger the best. Has a few vegetarian options for the burgers and seafood options. It has been good for take out when we did that recently. We have been trying to support our local business this past year. read more

Although it looks like a dingy bar from the outside, The Friendly Tavern is actually a very open, bright and inviting place once inside. The food was all very good. Like a high quality diner. The southern Rueben was great, Italian beef and fries did not disappoint. Coffee was decent but on weak side. All and all I'd recommend it for a quick stop although nothing is earth-shatteringly unique about it. read more

Yelp helped us locate yet another awesome local place with great prices. We chowed down on the monstrously Awesome Tator tot mountain. They call it an appetizer but it a meal for 2 or 3 people really. Meatloaf sandwich for my wife. She loved it. Clam chowder soup with Baked zita and garlic bread on the side for my daughter. We only wished we could devour all of it. Guess we are coming home with leftovers in the cooler once again. Friendly service Coke products read more
