For the ice cream, it's great! With the food, it's good. For some reason it tasted better hours after I left the restaurant. Maybe also because the apps were actually pretty filling and I didn't need to eat much.

I don’t order delivery often, but o just had surgery and can’t drive. I’m not saying this to be kissing anyone’s butt, but I always like ur menu, I grew up in Norwood. You system if you want to keep track is fantastic. It’s a cold and windy night, I don’t thk the woman that delivered. A smile never left her face. I will be ordering often while played up, but with the service, food, attitude everythg was amazing. Thank you, it really made my night.

The food, especially the always amazing clam chowder, is very good. Atmosphere: I completely love the charming design of the restaurant furnishings, all the posters, ice cream figurines, the lettering fonts and photos on the wall advertisements for the restaurant's offerings and the menu.. Whoever is responsible for the overall design has a warm and thoughtful heart! One feels cheerful just looking around, waiting to be seated.

We had salads! Mac & Cheese, ice cream. Service on slower side, probably cause of staffing issues, like most places now-a-days. Our server was very 'Friendly', and attentive . Will definitely go again here.

I hadn't been to a Friendly's in ages but decided to go one afternoon and have been back a few times since. Quality food, very good service and an atmosphere that takes you back to your childhood. We need more Friendly's around!
