Friendly’s

ALWAYS understaffed. The wait time is rather long also and the décor inside needs a massive makeover. Mgmt should realize that the year is 2016 and trying to have your patrons relive those happier times are long forgotten. The food, on the other hand, is quite good but there are too many negatives to compensate for the very few positives. Did anyone else notice that this establishment was closed for quite a while some time back?

Terrible service. Was not offered refill on coffee once but people at other tables around me were offered. Food took longer than expected for simple eggs and pancakes. Table of people who arrived after us was offered explanation of their eggs and offered other options while we were not. Makes us wonder if it was due to the color of my skin having to be only minority patron in the establishment at the time. Will not go there again and recommend for others to not go as well.

Ice cream is yumm goes downhill from there not much else to write other than its food you can make at home and will come out better and cheaper a pass for me

The food is horrible. This is the second they got my order wrong. My chicken quesadilla was greasy… the chicken was so small i thought it was groundbeef. Never eating there again

Came here last week just before noon. No one was there to welcome us so we looked in the ice cream case which didn’t have much to offer. We heard food cooking in the kitchen and maybe one family seated in the dining room. Still no hostess. We left and went to the Middletown Friendly’s. There is also a musty smell when you walk in here.

I don’t see why the reviews are low… it is pretty clean, waiters are fairly attentive and for the price, the food is good:) love the ice cream… all flavored and topping are yummy!

I have loved friendlys for years back when I was a teenager and ate here all the time. So me and a friend decided to come back after all these years to enjoy old times. Unfortunately it was not a good experience. We walk in and there’s no one to greet or seat you. We were just standing there for awhile and there’s just no one. Then we finally get seated and more waiting happens. NO ONE came to us for about 15 – 20 minutes. Like at other restaurants we could have probably gotten our food by then and been almost done. It was ridiculous and it was a very slow day. And no waitress or waiter in site the whole time. Then once someone came over we put our orders in right away and it gotten better. Maybe they were short staffed or something but they really need to work on there service skills and get there stuff together. Overall probably wouldn’t go back for another couple years…

I know 13 people is a large group, but two hours to get simple food? Kinda nuts. I’m. It from around here, but that type of thing is really unacceptable.
They had a one hour notice that we were coming. We ordered at 6:45 and were served at 8:15. It wouldn’t have been so bad had all of the food come out at once, but it was served m chunks in five minute increments. One top of that the two kids we had were served basically last.
It was a very disappointing experience.
I know this is a chain place, but there has to be some standards.

I accidentally clicked one star; my rating is 0 stars. I would only ever go back to this dump if my family was being held at gun point. Horrible. Just do not go here. I made a Unilocal account just for this btw.

The wait was not extreamly long, and they were very busy. The waitress was very friendly (no joke), and provided very good service. Took my order in good time and had the shake and chilli at the table in really good time. Both were very good. I have always liked Friendly’s and you can normally expect a good meal when you go there. So far not disappointed. Waiting for the New England Fish and Chips. The atmosphere is much better and spacious then I normally find in Friendly’s around where I live in New Hampshire. The Fish and Chips came was excellent. Cooked just right, as well as the fries. Over all excellent meal.

This Friendly’s is mediocre at best. We didn’t even experience mediocre tonight. It was downright awful. Service was very slow, took almost an hour to get our food. My son’s hotdog was stone cold and the rest was lukewarm. I felt like I was eating someone else’s leftovers! Then the ice cream order was messed up as well. Don’t come here, you’re not missing anything.

One word to describe this friendly’s, horrible! As soon we walked in, there was a bad stench in the air. Service was zero. I only asked for a cup of coffee and the server never came back. What is this country coming to? So we had to go to the Burger King next store.

I’d rather eat the cutlery than the french fries, but thanks for having a veggie burger option! Also, got super sick!

Once we got seated (after being ignored at the hostess stand for at least 5 or more minutes?) the service was great. The food was the same as any of the locations… as a chain is expected to be. The 10.99 choice meals are the way to go as of this post. I have had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich several times and so has others in my family. Our favorite by far… burgers are a bit plain and can be cooked at home better and cheaper. The frozen patties are exactly what you would find at the grocery store. We have also tried the Fish and Chips and the Clam Boat… I would recommend passing on either of these two options. I have had better at Long John Silvers. I should have known better than to try seafood at a place like this.
You go for the deserts right! Always good… as good as anything you can find at DQ.

I used to love friendly’s growing up, but I’ve definitely outgrown it. I liked their turkey dinner, but they no longer have it on the menu. I loved their fronions, but they they changed to thick fronions which aren’t nearly as good. Suffice to say the food isn’t anything special, but I still go here with my family once in awhile though. Because its in Goshen, everyone working here is stupid as hell. But my mom often complains because of this, and thus we get a nice amount of coupons for free stuff to make up for it. So i guess it all works out in the end?

The DW really LOVES Friendly’s. We have one right down the road from our home in Middletown but there is this pedo looking dude that cleans the tables that really scares us away from this location. Instead we head over to this Friendly’s in Goshen which is much nicer and cleaner than our local Friendly’s.
There is almost never a wait and we are seated right away… since the economy tanked, Friendly’s has been offering this pretty good deal where you get your dinner, a drink and a happy ending for $ 9.99. I like to joke that it’s the other kind of happy ending, but unfortunately it’s not :-)
The DW and I always order the same sh*t, we both get a BBQ Chicken Supermelt, which is super tasty. The food is usually pretty quick and the only thing we differ on is how we like our happy endings… DW likes vanilla with recees pieces and hot fudge, I like Hunka Chunka PB Fudge (could they think of a more stupid name for this) with hot fudge and whipped cream.
Anyway I’d highly recommend this place to anyone that has an affection for Friendly’s. I’d choose this location any day over the Middletown restaurant on Rt. 211
