Love how big the bone in wings are. They’re so delicious. The quesadilla from munchie mania bit small but was great. Buffalo wrap is were the spice is at a little bit hotter than Texas Pete sauce but it is good. You cannot ever go wrong with loaded fries. The cheeseburger slider was missing something maybe a sauce hoping they make a special friendly sauce to go with it. Wife got those awesome shareable mini mozzarella sticks great to share with kiddos. Everything at amazing price.kids got free ice cream with their meals which is great. Family fun id be returning with my family.The waitress Gerry was on point with drinks,food,and service great family night.

Had a wonderful Sunday morning breakfast at this location. It was not busy so I was seated immediately. The server was there in seconds with the menus. We ordered and within 5 minutes our breakfast was on the table. It was delicious and very generously portioned. I will be coming back.

Great selection of ice cream flavors. Food is good and plentiful. I could do shots if the hit fudge sauce, if it wouldn't kill my diet lol

Our waitress, Stephanie D. friendly, quick, and efficient. She was kind enough to bring our two year old granddaughter's pancake breakfast out first so that she did not have to wait. The food was hot and very tasty!

We enjoy this place! My husband loves the quesadilla appetizer, and he really enjoys the sandwiches. And ice cream is always a plus! Nice family friendly environment, great food, and good service. No complaints overall and we'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful first experience at this restaurant! Our server, Nicole, went above and beyond. My toddler is usually shy around new people, but Nicole's warm and engaging manner had her waving by the end of our meal. Plus, it was my toddler's first time having an ice cream sundae, which made the experience even more special. Huge thank you to Nicole. Highly recommend!

Friendly’s is our spot! My mom and I always come here, and it never disappoints. This location is super clean, the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious, and the ice cream? Piled high with plenty of toppings - just the way it should be! It’s one of those nostalgic favorites that we hope never goes away. The staff is so sweet, kind, and quick - it truly feels like family every time we visit. Can’t recommend it enough!
