Now, Friendly's and I go WAY back. Like, back in the day when a family could enjoy a full course meal there and it was right on par with Applebee's in the 90s (crikey, I'm old). These days, however, most people only think of them as that one brand of ice cream you see in grocery stores. Or maybe you even felt froggy enough to order delivery from them because you were craving a Reese's Sundae like I was a few summers ago. And yes - they absolutely will deliver ice cream to your door. Honestly though, that might be the best thing they've got going for themselves, food wise. The main menu items here are....mid, at best. Feeling brave and adventurous, I decided I'd give their breakfast a try (especially considering no one's taken any breakfast photos until this review). I've had it as a kid. But since that was literal decades ago, I barely remember the experience. Though, I'm *pretty* sure the food was mostly edible back then. Today, I got an omelet (my way) with basic homefries, corned beef hash, and a bagel. Since I already described how retched the hash was, I'll move onto the rest of the ensemble. Omelet: this was arguably the most edible part of this complete breakfast. The diced veggies were fine, the cheese was fine, and the fresh eggs (which you have to request, btw) were...fine. That's about all I can say about this omelet; it was fine. Apart from the eggs tasting inexplicably "flat", I'd wager this one's a 6 out of 10. The bagel tasted like stale cardboard with cream cheese. At least they use the Philadelphia brand though so....yay? I could only stomach about two bites before giving up and tossing that travesty in the trash. Even the greatest brand of cream cheese on earth couldn't save this joke of a bagel. 1 out of 10, would NOT recommend. The homefries were the only other item I could actually finish. They're unseasoned though (of course), so be cognizant that you'll either want salt or ketchup with these, if that's your thing. 5 out of 10. Oh yeah...did you know this Friendly's has a drive thru? Pretty weird, considering this is a casual dine-in restaurant, but whatevs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Based on this rather perplexing and frustrating experience, I feel I'd be better off sticking with something simpler like the Lumberjack Breakfast the next time around. I figure, there's no way they could royally f#$! up bacon to the point of blandness, right? RIGHT?! Fingers crossed on that one. Initial re-impressions of their breakfast left me with flavors reminiscent of school cafeteria food. Should the next go around prove to be more pleasant, I'll gladly update this review. For now, I'd give Friendly's take-away 2 mighty fine make-your-own omelets out of 5.

The serving sizes are huge, so be aware when you are ordering - especially for kids! I love that there are different soft serve flavors every week and they are posted online so you can check before you go. The service was fast and there was plenty of parking - we went during the middle of the day in the summer, there were no lines. I'm not sure how it gets in the evening after dinner. We ate at the tables outside, they were nice and clean. Will stop in again if I'm in the area!

The service is as quick as humanly possible considering how many people descend upon them for ice cream! Everyone is courteous and professional.

There's a full bar area with seating at the bar, dart board,  an adjacent dining room with tables and a performance stage with big speakers for live music, karaoke and open mic (Tuesday night). There's also outdoor seating too.  They serve up Cajun style comfort food, appetizers, bagel sandwiches (Bagel Alley), hot dogs, and ice cream & shakes for dessert. The bar offers beer, IPAs, cocktails, and mixed drinks. As I walked in, the place was moderately busy on a Friday evening and I could sit anywhere I wanted. I found a table next to the stage which they were setting up for karaoke, and folk rock music was playing from the speakers. A server from the bar came over to give me menus to look at as I decided. I ordered some Pulled Pork Nachos ($13.99 plus tax) and the Jambalaya ($14 plus tax) served with cornbread. The food took a while to come out since they were so busy. The food arrived together. The Jambalaya was a spicy rice dish which had a tomato base, spicy sausage, chicken, onions, peppers mixed in with firm rice. The jalapeno corn bread was very firm and not sweet. The pulled pork nachos had warm crunchy corn chips topped with melted cheese, tender sweet BBQ pulled pork, tomato salsa, onion, black olives, jalapenos, and sour cream on the side. The portions were individual sized, so I was able to finish up my dinner in house. I skipped dessert, which was mainly ice cream and sundaes offered. The dinner check for one was $30.34 with tax and before tip.  Overall, the food here tasted pretty good. The service was a bit delayed on this visit. I enjoyed the laid back vibe here, though the place was slightly loud with a combination of the music playing and the crowds of other patrons chattering.

The kitchen offered another piece of chicken which was about 1/3 of a normal chicken breast and was overcooked but edible. I didn't eat the Luke warm mashed or broccoli.
