    Ice Cream on a plate. WEIRD!
    Shaleah T.

    I've been coming to Friendly's for years, but never for the food, always for dessert with my husband. But this recent visit? One for the books... and not in a good way. First of all, my ice cream was served on a plate. Yes, a plate, not a bowl, not a sundae glass, not even the classic Friendly's metal dish. I genuinely thought I was being pranked. But no, that's how it came out. Anyone who knows ice cream knows it melts faster on a flat plate, so that was strike one. Beyond the strange presentation, the dessert itself just tasted... off. The cake layer tasted like stale air and maybe even a hint of cigarette smoke. It was bizarre and completely unlike the usual quality I've come to expect from this location. That said, I do want to shout out the service, our server, he was wonderful, and the woman who brought my dessert was kind and cheerful. Unfortunately, kindness couldn't save the chaos of what ended up on my plate. I'm not sure what happened that night, but it was a hot mess from start to finish. I think I'll take a little break before giving this location another try. If you're heading here for dessert, just know: it might be a gamble

    I've been back here a few times since my last review and the speed of service has improved immensely. Friendly's is still the king of comfort food and novelty sundaes/beverages. I was so jealous when I saw some kids getting the shark themed sodas, part of their June menu. I went down memory lane and got the banana split here a few weeks ago. My husband has been enjoying the quesadillas. I tend to like the tuna melt, though I had a burger here recently. I have to say, my hometown misses it's two Friendly's dearly. I feel spoiled to have one so near where I live.

    GREAT SERVICE! GREAT FOOD! I highly recommend getting the famous Royal razz to start off as a beverage. It's a classic. Can't go wrong with any food, but the mozz sticks and grilled cheese is my favorite. And lastly, ice cream is a MUST. Monster mash is a classic. Friend-z and any sundae is also good. And FRIBBLES! Sometimes I get a fribble to start. I came here with my grandparents all the time growing up and now I go with my friends on the regular. No better place to catch up with friends

    Felt like the fishamagig sandwich and stopped in ... nice grilled cheese fish sandwich with fresh haddock . Fries were just ok as looked end of the bag small pieces? I miss the tinkle cut style... Ordered a coffee Fribble ...excellent Free sundae as part of the deal... excellent Service quick, excellent.... 21.00 for the meal...,excellent I wish more of these would open back up... Reasonable lunch out and better than other fast food... and always excellent fribbles and ice cream... my burger melt there is my other meal...

    This is a little late sorry about that. It's been very good month. We went there for Veterans Day. We had a wonderful time, even though we walked in. It was busy. It was only just a manager some couple people working in the kitchen, the manager and one server on the floor and they were doing a fantastic job let me tell you nothing was off at all except the shortness they had. I didn't expect it to be busy cause usually friendly is kind of quiet But they forgot that Veterans Day and so they had other people coming while we were waiting and we ordered I ordered the fishamajig , which is my favorite and my husband got the cheeseburger cause he's a veteran. Everything was excellent. The food came out hot fresh. My only complaint was that the fish piece in the sandwich was very thin but other than that. Everything was outstanding. Everybody was friendly and kind people came over to our table and thanked him for his service. One young lady, whose husband was a marine who was away overseas. She ends up buying my lunch and our beverages cause we got a special peppermint, milkshake to share and Can't there's no other complaints. Everything went perfect and that's wonderful tip for me to say cause I love Friendly's for me it's a grown-up kind of place. I threw in that restaurant on my whole life and it was always the place to go as a child. You know it was just a treat

    Nothing won't let me continue without it

    i ordered take out never had a problem with friendlys never. Well I ordered take out came home I had hair on my food. I called right away manager said I'll give u back a refund . Well 6 days later still waiting called back today manager Tim as she said didn't come to phone she spoke to me not nicely but it wasn't her problem as she was a server not the manager. I'm so mad reached out to home office nothing. I don't eat out a lot as I can't so I'm a little mad and not cheap either. So I'm out 18 dollars there mistake they should fix this. But no get the run around. Debbie

    Cons: This dairy bar is extremely busy during most summer hours. They actually have 8 outside…read moreservice windows, and on many summer evenings you will still find long lines with a 10-15 minutes wait. Prices are relatively high. The smallest size they serve cost about $6. You do get a lot of ice cream for even that smallest size. If you get the large I would say you are basically buying a quart of ice cream in a cup. Pros: They are busy for a good reason. When you say the words "Premium ice cream" you are describing Crescent Ridge Ice Cream. Their ice cream is insanely rich, made on the premises, and the ingredients come directly from the dairy cows wandering around freely behind a short fence that separates their parking lot from their cow pasture. So freshness is off the charts. Their ice cream is creamy, flavorful, and mouth watering. I might have tasted ice cream that approached or even equaled Crescent Ridge ice cream in quality, but I have never tasted better ice cream, and I mean anywhere either locally or around the country when I travel. This is a place where you are paying premium prices but getting absolutely ultra premium ice cream. I have never left that place without thinking to myself: "Wow! That was GREAT ice cream!"

    I use home delivery. Milk is fresh and delicious. Lots of products from small farms which is very…read morehealthy. Prefer milk in bottles vs plastic. Service is excellent! Phone support is great and very pleasant to talk to. My driver , Jim is very easy to work with . If I make changes to the order, I get an email with the update. I know what is coming on my delivery. Thats it for now. Keep up the good work!! Ed Tavares

Rita's is located in a cute little strip mall in a convenient location and the service was impeccable. I took my little cousin and she ordered the mango ice and vanilla custard gelati. I had the Swedish fish and blue raspberry ice. The Swedish fish tasted exactly like the candy while I enjoyed the blue raspberry it wasn't as tart as I thought it would be. That's not a bad thing though! The gelati was also excellent. I highly recommend trying Rita's- it's not your average snow cone or Italian ice. I can't wait to go back!

Stick to fruit flavors, its been the best bet. Also, rita's is diabetic friendly! They have sugar free Italian ice flavors that rotate often. You can slightly tell it's not real sugar but it beats not having any at all. My favorite sugar free flavor is definitely dragonfruit. I wish they'd have 2 sugar free flavors available at a time but it's usually just one. For regular flavors, go for watermelon and mango...its definitely the real stuff because sometimes you get fresh bits of fruit in your ice! The custard reminds me of frozen cool whip. It's an interesting texture feel on the palate. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's worth trying! My favorite thing to do is to get it layered into an Italian ice, best of both worlds! Be mindful it's window service only, has a few tables out but most just stand and enjoy their treats in little group huddles. I've seen families sit at the back of the car trunks too. Staff is friendly and quick. No bathrooms but there's a Cumberland farms across the street if you need one. Lines move fast so don't let that be the reason why you don't try it!
