Friendly’s

Friendly’s??? Yes. And when I want that quick American classic meal with a happy ice cream ending… I’m there. The people who work there know what I like and I like seeing them year after year. Means they keep a good business to me. I love their sherberts. I won’t say my favorite… A Unilocal listener may clean them out :-)

Just going into a Friendly’s you are wavering between 2 and 3 stars so there are only a few things that can make a particular Friendly’s into a 4 star event. The food will always be around the same, but the care taken with the food will be different. The interior will always look the same, but some can be cleaner than others. The Fribble will always taste the same, but the consistency can be different. The way a Friendly’s can become a 4 star restaurant is through its service (it can also be a 1 star in the same way).
On the way out of town after a long weekend, it was time to knock down one more Fribble for old times sake and for the road. It just so happened that we were starving so it was lunch first and then Fribble to-​go or for however long it would last, which wouldn’t be long.
Yadda yadda, burger — yadda, yadda fries — fine. Waiter — outstanding. Truly the best attitude for a Friendly’s employee I have ever seen. Nothing was a trouble, nothing was an issue, he got us everything we needed to send the weekend out in vanilla style. This is where you can separate your Friendly’s because when you go in, you pretty much know what you are going to get, but when you get taken care of in a place where that seems almost incomprehensible, you take note — and you sip your Fribble until it’s gone.
