I'm starting to think that Friendly's, might just be one of the best kept secrets for going out on a Friday night. We've been several times, and each time there is no wait, good service, pretty good food and best of all not that pricey!
As parents of 2 little ones, when we have a chance to go out as just a couple, we try to take it. Most of the time, we don't have time to wait 45 minutes to an hour for an open table at a restaurant. Being able to sit down right away, with out a reservation is awesome.
For starters, we split an appetizer combo, which we got with chicken quesadilla's, mozzarella sticks and loaded waffle fries. This seriously could have been a meal all on its own, there was a pretty good portion of food on this plate. I had the roasted turkey dinner, which comes with stuffing, corn, mashed potato's & gravy and garlic bread. Although it was a little salty, it was still quite tasty and they really don't skimp on the portion size.
The wifey had the fish and chips, which she described in exquisite detail as "yummy". She also ordered from the "4 for More" section. This allows you to add your drink and a 3 scoop-2 topping sundae for only $4 more. Considering a drink is like $2+ and the sundae is about $3, it's not a bad deal.
The food overall isn't what you might call "gourmet", but it is tasty and filling and we like it.
The service was good, though it did start getting a little slower near the end of our meal. Also, though I didn't have a first hand experience, the wifey said the bathrooms were really pretty and clean. Though I think that might be a girl thing :D
All in all we would definitely go back, but it should be noted that this is a "Dry" establishment (no alcoholic drinks)

Friendly's, Royal Palm, Fl
After our break, we're back!
I know this is a "Dinner" review site, but we like to review all sorts of meals :)
The other morning, we went out to breakfast at Friendly's. Now most people probably think of Friendly's as an Ice Cream/Dessert place, but they'd be wrong. They actually have a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu to go along with the desserts Options.
We arrived around 9:30`ish in the morning, and were able to be seated right away. The server came over and was very personable and he got our drink orders right away. Throughout out the whole meal, out server was great. He was quick with requests and very friendly and professional. It was the kind of service that brings people back.
For the meal, I chose the Lumberjack, It comes with 3 eggs' any style, bacon or sausage and either 3 pancakes, 3 slices of French toast or Muffin ($6.99) I ordered it scrambled, w/ bacon and french toast, and I added a slice of ham to go with it. The food itself wasn't bad, the bacon was just the way I like it, cooked and chewy but not crispy/burnt like some people like it. The French toast was surprisingly good, I'm not normally a fan, but these I'd order again. The eggs were OK, but I don't know if they used a full 3 eggs, it didn't really look like they did, but they cooked properly and had great flavor. The ham slice, which actually ended up being 3 smaller slices, was cooked nicely and went well with everything.
The wife ordered the French Toast breakfast, which comes (again) with bacon or sausage, and she had it with bacon. Also she added a side of country potatoes. Everything I said about my french toast and bacon can just be repeated for hers :). She, said it tasted really good, but recently she's only able to eat a few bites at each meal due to the pregnancy.
For our little guy, we ordered the kids meal "two egg's" breakfast, which also comes with bacon or sausage and toast. As I'm sure you can guess, he had the bacon. Let me tell you, little dude tore into that bacon, it was almost like he couldn't get enough. He also ate most of his eggs and a slice of toast and several of the wifey's potatoes. We were really proud of how well he did with his eating.
Overall, this was a nice family breakfast out and for all 3 of us with drinks, meals and sides was under $25 without tip. For the amount of food and the service we received, we consider this a good deal.
