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!

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.

I haven't been to (this) Friendly's in 27 years, but when I was back in Morristown on business recently, I decided it was an opportunity to remember good food and ice cream. The night I went, the restaurant wasn't very busy, but I was quickly approached by Remee who seated me and took my order. In a moment of nostalgia, I ordered the fried clams with fries and Cole slaw. My order came out in a reasonable amount of time and the food was... OK. You go to Friendly's knowing you're getting coffee shop food (think Denny's) so it's not super high-end. It's more fast, easy, and comfort food. The clams and fries were OK. The Cole slaw was already portioned out into a small lidded plastic cup and was kind of blah, so that was a little disappointing. The iced tea I'd ordered was brewed and not fountain, so I enjoyed that. After finishing my dinner, Remee asked if I would like any dessert. My childhood memories welled up and I wound up ordering a cup (as opposed to bowl) sized Reese's Pieces Sundae. It didn't disappoint my memories. For the smaller size, it had plenty of ice cream, sauces, whipped cream, and (of course) Reese's Pieces! I almost couldn't finish it! (ALMOST! LOL) If I still lived in the area, I probably wouldn't be a regular customer because the overall food experience was just OK. For a one-time visit after many years, it was a decent experience. I would probably recommend Friendly's (this location AND the entire chain) up their game and try a little harder before it's too late. Don't wind up disappearing like so many other similar chains.

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.
