Friendly's

Sean Smyth

At the Newark 4th of July festival we had planned to eat at the food trucks but found there were none (only desserts) so we ended up at the Friendly's. Despite it being a holiday, the staff was really welcoming and service was very good. My Cobb salad was very good and the kids enjoyed their chicken (but mostly just ate so they could get ice cream). My wife and oldest ordered burgers and the quality of meat was really really poor which is the only reason I'm taking one star off. The restaurant was clean, seating was comfortable. It's not a high end restaurant by any means, so my expectations aren't overly high but the burgers were pretty bad. Overall the service was better than average and the rest of the food was pretty good. 4 stars from me. Kids gave the ice cream 5 stars.

Stephanie was really sweet and helpful. Respectful and quick service. The Dorito burger was everything I dreamed of.

Was seated by the host at this Friendly's for 25 minutes without having a single server check in on my table to get a single order. Many servers were walking around and checking in on various tables RIGHT next to mine, but deliberately ignoring mine. I even received a few dirty looks from some customers which led me to feel as if there was a racist atmosphere as I was the only colored person in the building at the time. Many customers seated around us finished their meals, paid, and left all in the time we were seated without a waiter. We ended up leaving without ever being seen by a server because waiting half an hour to be seen after being seated is utterly ridiculous. Will most definitely never be returning.

A small specialized breakfast menu. Not many items but what they do, they do well. Pick some items and concentrate on making them the best they can be. I have not had a bad breakfast experience and would rate them good for breakfast. I like them for lunch and dinner as well but this is a niche that many people don't think of them filling.
