Friendly’s

Stopped in for dinner. Ordered a soda and chicken strips. There were kids going a little crazy near by… a lot of kids. But such is the nature of Friendly’s. The main problem was the chicken tasted like it had been in the freezer a long time. I probably would not order the same dish if I went back.

In a little place like Cortland a chain restaurant is about all you can find. My wife and her family grew up with Friendly’s. We were looking for dinner and dessert and we all agreed on Friendly’s.
We were a group of 6 and we were seated immediately. The waitress had waters on the table within minutes of us being seated.
The wait staff was great, very attentive and very forgiving when it took us awhile to decide.
I ordered a chicken teriyaki rice thing while everyone else went traditional with burgers and more diner oriented items. They made way better choices than I did. It was cooked well but lacked some serious flavor.
Dessert however was amazing and made up for it. I had two scoops of coffee ice cream squished between two belgian waffles. Everyone else had traditional sundaes, all of which were delicious also. Their ice cream is worth the trip alone.
Stick to the traditional menu items though — burgers, sandwiches, etc. — and save room for dessert.
