Nostalgic.

Slow, dirty and unfriendly. Never again!
-
Great place for ice cream and milkshakes. May be burgers, too. Other food... well, can use a bit of improvement, I would say.
-
Walked in to pick up my food and the place had a weird smell, and I paid an up charge for an Impossible burger, but received a regular burger patty. Small portion of fries that were kind of stale. Spent $18. Disappointed.
-
Super affordable ice cream creations ! I was shocked at how huge all of our 🍨 were for the price! We made this our summer ice cream spot
-
Shawn and the other ladies are amazing! Shawn is an amazing server!

Food was amazing and cooked perfect...
-
Overall, we had a sad experience. The place was weathered and would benefit from renovations. The bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The service was slow, and they got our order wrong. The sundaes don’t look much like the pictures in the menu. We were quite disappointed.

Nice place to get a ok breakfast
-
If you can ever go here considering there's only a few locations in Florida, the place is phenomenal. They are well known for their ice cream but the food was fantastic. I can't even explain how fantastic it was. I didn't even get to try the ice cream. The food was very filling but I guarantee if I'm back in the area again I will eat there and definitely try the ice cream

-
Great food and very nice waitress. Will definitely be back soon!
-
We love friendlys! They are our go-to for ice cream sundaes, esp the Reese’s pieces sundae. Also, try the loaded waffle fries!
-
Shawn was the best. She really made our morning after we had horrible (lack of) service at a fancy restaurant on the water. We had the best French toast and ice cream for breakfast. We loved it so much we took the rest of our family back to see her two days later.

We grew up with Friendly's. Hadn't been to one in a long time. It was just like we remembered.

It was my Birthday and i got a free Sunday!

This place had a cozy like atmosphere.... brings back early childhood memories. 😄

Friendly's is what Friendly's is. If you love it, this is a great version of 1970'-2010 dining out on Long Island with the kiddos. My soup,grill cheese, his patty melt and our ice cream was delicious! Just missing a juke box!
