Friendly's - Merrimack

A beautiful cold, delicious Fribble is the best way to cool after a warm day. I've previously ordered from Friendly's food, and I have come to realize that their real strength is their ice and shakes.

The food itself wasn't bad, but the service wasn't great. I've been going to Friendly's fir years so I know what the food is like. It's actually pretty good. The service wasn't great. We were waiting over 20 min. for our food, and requested that we get a table that wasn't near anyone, for COVID reasons (we're just being extra cautious). We were seated almost shoulder to shoulder with others. If it was because of table availability, fine, but there were other tables available that didn't have anyone around them, why weren't we seated there?

The food was good, the ice sols were great, and our server was fantastic! She was attentive and friendly and offered a few ways to tweak our order to our preference. It was a surprisingly beautiful visit!

The turkey dinner was extremely salty.the waitress said she would let the kitchen know, but nothing was done about my meal. The ice was excellent!

We have breakfast here above all. The server is wonderful and remembers what we like to drink in the morning. The lumberjack with pancakes is my favorite. It's a great value! My wife and I love the background music they play here. It is from our school years and always lets us share stories from our past while we eat.
