Came for just ice cream and they didn’t disappoint. The food other people were eating looked good but ice cream brings back memories. Service was friendly, attentive and quick.

I love Friendly’s. The food tastes good. It took too long for them to seat us, and it wasn’t even crowded. The roof has damage, you can tell because the ceiling has wet spots all over. So they really need to fix this. Also, the air conditioner vents are filthy. These should get cleaned immediately. I am a person who likes to eat at clean places. This should get addressed and worked on like yesterday. I don’t know about others, but these issues are over our head, so please, the owner of the building should get swamped with concerns so this can get fixed.

We ordered a side of pickles along with our meals. When our server, Kenny V., came with the meals, we kindly reminded him to bring out the pickles. He then went on to say “Oh right the pickles. I will be right back.” He proceeded to help other customers and as he walked passed us he said that “the pickles would be right out.” When he came back to see how the food was we reminded him of the pickles. He said “Oh yes i’m so sorry” and then he walked away. As he walked into the kitchen he began to laugh. When he came to take our orders for ice cream, we asked again about the pickles. Then after we got our ice cream he handed us the check. We never got the pickles. I understand that it’s not that big of a dill but if they didn’t have them then he should have said so instead of making us wait, anticipating the pickles. Also he was reminded multiple times and each time failed to bring them and he didn’t make the effort to write it down after the first few times of forgetting. We won’t be returning for a while and maybe not ever.

The hostess who was also the waitress for us was very kind. She always kept ontop of things and overall super sweet!! We loved her so much. Wish I knew her name.

Went to the Friendly’s on Hempstead Turnpike. Easy to see why this chain resturant has closed many locations. While it features a ample parking lot and spacious seating, this is where the Friendlyness ends.

The servers were friendly at Friendly’s. The food was good and my milkshake was great! They do need to fix the atmosphere in there, walking in and being there doesn’t feel like it’s a place for kids to enjoy ice cream not enough fun.

Friendly staff; customer service was just okay, average just like the food. It’s more for kids and seniors. Personally would not recommend for other people. The food isn’t worth the price.

Went there to eat with my daughter. We were seated quickly but then promptly forgotten about by the staff. After 20 minutes when no one had come to our table and we were about to leave, the waitress arrived (no apology for the wait and the restaurant was not crowded). We were told that there was no pasta, no stir fry, and no turkey (we had gone there for entrees), and that these items would not be available going forward either. It seems like the only reason to go there now is the ice cream- so then why not just be an ice cream place? We left seeking dinner food elsewhere.

This Friendly’s often has good lunch specials. I appreciate the easy parking situation and the location. Its a good spot to quickly get some burgers and fries. Their home-fried potatos are good but you can tell they were frozen so minus 5 points for not having fresh potatoes. Their french fries are thick and pretty tasty so that makes up for the potatoes. The burger is actually pretty good I ordered the bacon double cheese burger. I liked it a lot. My friend got a bacon, egg and cheese and he said its his go to Friendly’s choice. Overall i give this Friendly’s a 3.5 out of 5. They didn’t do anything wrong but its not meant to be a 5 star experience. I would go back but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get there.
