Friendly's - Morristown

Went here for dinner tonight with friends. This was my first time here in over a decade. Friendly's is a good place for interesting takes on American fare. I ordered the Cheese Skirt Burger, so named because they out extra cheese on the burger so it goes onto the fryer and gets fried itself. There was thousand island Dressing on it that made it taste even better! I ordered off the Happy Ending Menu, which allowed me to get a free sundae after. I ordered mint chocolate chip ice cream and truly enjoyed it. Friendly's is a great place to go with friends for some good food and great ice cream!

A true blast from the past. Hamburgs and Fribbles with a scoop of chocolate mint in a metal parfait goblet to complete the trifecta. I wouldn 't exactly call it fast food as time seems to bend in the kitchen towards eternity but the downshift is not unpleasant... kind of like visiting a long lost childhood friend. How this place survives in a culture of ADHD, Doordash and 3D printed Mac Cheese is anyone 's guess but I 'm sure glad it does. Five easy stars.

Happy we came for the old time nostalgia but it really was a sub par experience. Thats completely fine so long as you're prepared for what you're walking into, which i wasn't. First of all the menu is all kinds of concoctions of the same foods mixed together in different ways. It definitely was not healthy. And that's ok. But the service wasn't great. Maybe they were short staffed. Maybe they weren't experienced servers. But it took a long time to place our orders sacs when the did came a while dish was missing. Since the severe didn't come back to check on us until our meals were finished and there was no one else around to ask we just went without the meal. Then we asked for boxes to bring a few leftovers home and the waitress took my plate away and threw away my food. They were kind enough to get me a new batch of fries to bring home but it prolonged the whole process. Maybe we'd come back for the express checkout ice cream at the front door but I don't think we'll be back to the restaurant anytime soon.

We wanted something easy for dinner and picked Friendly 's. My wife had the chicken fingers which were a little overcooked and daughter got the mac 'n cheese. Both were satisfactory. I had the Grilled Chicken Mozza SuperMelt. It was WAY too cheesy for me. I actually had chills from eating it. The fries were good and the service was also up to par. We appreciated the crayons for our young one. Most of the people there either had a young child or an AARP card.

They really need to invest in a better vent because the strong smell of grease made me nauseous! The restaurant was clean and everyone was polite and welcoming but the stench was just too much! The food here is nothing to write home about but I wasn't expecting anything different. They have a lot of options on the menu, but we stuck to the basics! My burger was way over cooked, fries were hard and the chicken fingers were dry. The only thing that I enjoyed was the ice cream. I ended up taking it to go because I couldn't stand the smell of that place for another second. If you're starving and have no other choice, then this place is ok for a quick bite.
