**A Mixed Bag at Friendly's: Nostalgia Meets Service Challenges** Friendly's offers a nostalgic dining experience that appeals to long-time patrons with its 50s soda shop atmosphere. Many diners appreciate the fresh, quality food and the friendly service, often highlighting specific servers' attentive efforts. However, recent visits reveal significant service issues, with understaffing impacting wait times and overall dining satisfaction. Customers report delays and a lack of attention to hygiene, though some acknowledge the hard work of overwhelmed staff. While the menu prices lean toward the higher side, diners feel the nostalgic charm and quality food merit a visit, albeit with some caveats about service consistency.

What Minerva Lindgren dislikes about Friendly's:
Came in with my family after a day out, waited 20 minutes after being seated. Our drink order came missing coffee, no server came to take our meal order. Left $10on the table for 2 glasses of water, a soda and a juice. View all feedback.
