This Friendly 's remained open when others closed, I cannot figure out why. Terrible service. I haven 't been here in years but tonight my Husband and I stopped in... Mistake. The place is stuck in a time warp, is very dingy, the window dividers were very dirty. The booth we were seated at was very worn, had not been cleaned and was sticky. We had to ask the waitress to clean it. I ordered a cobb salad. Very simple. but looked nothing like the picture being promoted on the menu. No bacon No blue cheese. I told the waitress, she shrugged, and flippantly said we are out, we run out of a lot of stuff. I said, if you had told me I would have ordered something else, and I wasn 't going to pay for this as it is not what I ordered. we went back and forth a little bit but when she said. I guess you shouldn 't go out to restaurants then I asked to speak to a manager. She said 'go for it ' and walked away...Now I am done.. I told the front WE were not paying, WE left our food without eating and went some where else to eat. WE will not be going back.
Not a great experience. If you're looking for friendly service, I recommend heading to Cortland instead.
I only come here for ice creams and I looove the variety they gave. They have so many toppings options. Service is quick on the pick up window. My kids and I love it. We got the banana split and it was really good. You get to choose 3 flavors with the banana split. Hours vary due to staffing so make sure u call ahead. My kids get strawberry flavor which I like too because it's has some strawberry chunks. Friendly service and good prices. It's our weekend go to place for a treat.
I think it's closed. My daughter and I tried to go for breakfast on a Friday morning and it was all locked up!
