Friendly’s is a fabulous restaurant that’s known for offering popular American meals such as burgers and turkey sandwiches and a wide variety of ice cream selections. In October of 2022, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at Friendly’s, specifically the branch located in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience!!! Our waitress, Jackie did a great job on taking our orders, delivering our meals and for providing top notch customer service. Both my wife I found our meals to be superbly tasty and highly delicious. We also very much enjoyed the complimentary ice cream dishes!!! We both definitely recommend Friendly’s as wonderful place to dine for...
I miss my local Friendly's and some of the discontinued menu items, but I'm grateful that I can still visit a Friendly's within a 30-minute drive. It used to be a neighborhood staple that we could walk to. The Elmwood Park location is clean, spacious, and has a modern yet retro vibe, with friendly and accommodating managers and staff. Our server, Jazzlyn, was great. It was a tough night for the staff to work—July 4th—and our local fireworks were postponed until the next night, so we made the trip. On our way out, we could see and hear their fireworks. Despite the circumstances, the staff made our evening enjoyable.
I ordered the burger with mac and cheese and a side of honey BBQ sauce, and it absolutely blew my mind and tantalized my taste buds! It was hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. The menu was extensive and diverse, almost to the point of being overwhelming. Our waitress was incredibly patient and had a great attitude. For dessert, I tried the hunka chunka lava cake and swapped the ice cream for the barking pretzel, which was genuinely life-changing. The bathrooms were very clean, and the service was fast. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back!
I went there for ice cream, but I really should have chosen a different place. The restaurant was quite dirty and in disrepair. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting—I’ve seen gas stations that were cleaner. Two urinals were broken, and only one of the two stalls was usable, but it was clogged with waste. I can't believe they were out of hot fudge and chocolate syrup; that’s pretty much a staple for any ice cream place. And what’s up with the paper cups? Are they out of glassware too? The place wasn't even busy. This will definitely be my last visit with the family.

Service deserves no stars. When I first walked in a server immediately asked if I was picking up. I told him I wanted to place an order to go. I stood at the counter for 10 minutes watching a server playing on her phone while occasionally glancing at me before anyone came over. I ordered a Sunday that wasn’t complicated but yet they still got it wrong!! Service doesn’t even get a star in my book. The manager should be ashamed at themselves! The place wasn’t even that busy!!
Thank you Marilyn for the GREAT service. Hi five to the Ice Cream Team. My soup and salad had good temperatures. My husband's fish patties looked like they were frozen and pulled apart. The fish dinner DID NOT look like what he's had at other Friendly's. The bathroom needs some repairs but the floor looks new.
Absolutely disgusting. I made an order and recieved food that someone ate. Doordash blames the restaurant and the restaurant blames doordash. So both get a review. How do you send food to someone that someone ate. I will never order from here or go here in person.
3 strikes you are out. Missing food. Cold food. Kids apple slices were brown. Turkey dinner unappetizing. We will no longer utilize this establishment. I usually do not do reviews so that goes to show how bad this place is.
