Seriously great food! We are from Illinois and only moved to Maine last year and we've been struggling to find restaurants we like here for some reason. Two of our favourite restaurants were Steak n Shake and Freddy's which made thin burgers and melts and had thin cut fries and shakes and we were sad to see there aren't any around. This place kind of helped us miss it less! It doesn't have the really thin cut fries or the meat and cheese patty melt but they have amazing food! The fries are great and fresh and actually contain salt. We were so skeptical because we've had trouble liking places but literally everything we ate there was amazing and we got a lot! The mozzarella sticks were perfect. They were hot, fresh, crispy and the cheese was so stringy and goey and I feel its hard to find good mozzarella sticks! I was wanting that burger and cheese melt I was used to and it wasn't on the menu but they were able to accommodate me and make it anyways which was awesome! My husband had the doritos cool ranch burger and he loved his too. Both cooked perfectly and we can tell the meat is good and fresh and doesn't take like frozen patties. The burgers were well seasoned as well. He also had onion rings and says the batter was amazing and they were crispy and perfect. My 3 year old son had mac and cheese with hot dogs. We don't have much to say about this because it was just a hot dog, nothing special and it was kraft mac and cheese but he enjoyed his meal. Lastly we had Sundays! They had a qr code on the table for new people to join their rewards which I did and that got me a free medium Sunday. Since my husband ordered that burger which was a special he got a free small Sunday and I think the kids meal came with a free small Sunday as well so we all got free ice cream which was really unexpected but great. The ice cream was also perfect. We liked each version we got and really can't wait to come back again. Overall we had a great experience and we are really looking forward to coming back and hoping the next visit is just as good as the first!

Ordered via Uber Eats, Uber did a great job on their part of the order/delivery (roughly 30 minutes from order to delivery) however, Friendly's failed hard on the order & food quality.The buffalo mac&cheese was pretty much just mac with almost no cheese, the chicken was cold and greasy. There was no buffalo sauce at all in the dish. The other item in the order was supposed to be an Apple Harvest salad, a Signature Chicken entree salad was delivered instead. Aside from being the wrong salad, it was pretty much all tortilla strips, a tiny bit of lettuce, and nothing else that was supposed to be on it with the exception of grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was over cooked to the point of the outside being hard enough to require a steak knife to cut, the inside completely dry, flavorless, & inedible. Somehow they even managed to make that piece of chicken cold too. The only thing the staff managed to do correctly was spell my name on the containers. UPDATE: Friendly's promised to make contact to discuss/correct issues & still have not received any form on contact despite giving them both email & a phone number.

I went in for lunch today with a client and I can't say enough nice things about the experience we had. Most places struggle with individuals who have communication issues. Our waitress Hailey did not. She was incredibly sweet to both of us, very attentive but not overly so and her vibrant smile definitely showed she cared. Their were a few other guests who were giving her a bit of a hard time and she handled amazingly, super professional and it didn't appear to faze her in anyway. Hey Friendly's, I don't know if you do bonuses, or some sort of recognition for great service, if you do, Hailey 100% deserves it.

Tried these people twice. Forgot all the extras both times. Sliders should have lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Tenders should have sauce. And salsa and sour cream is supposed to come with quesadillas. So, if you want to give your money to people who really just don’t GAF, this is your place!!
