Reviews for Friendly's in East Meadow, NY
Absolutely disgusted. Spend money to get take out and it?s slopped together with no care in the world. Burger undercooked. See... the pictures of the loaded fries! I would not recommend coming to this establishment! Read more
After school lunch with my 3 yo and 6 mo. old. Expecting the baby to be the reason we throw everything into to go bags and leave... early - but it was the 3 yo. But we didn't leave early. Our waitress saw the coming storm and brought some crayons and paper,which held his attention long enough for the food to arrive. Good save! Read more
Went to the Friendly's on Hempstead Turnpike. Easy to see why this chain resturant has closed many locations. While it features... a ample parking lot and spacious seating, this is where the Friendlyness ends. Having revamped their menu, many of the oldfavorites are gone, replaced with questionable choices such as the Doritos burger with the chips toppingthe myriad of otherthings piled on top of it. Our server, a young girl didn't know what a pattymelt was and never heard of it. After explainingwhat it was, she happily said she would see if the kitchen could make it. What I got was anything unlike the old favorite servedyears ago. It consisted of under cooked ground beef with a marginal amount of onions and hardly any cheese on sound kind ofmarble bread that they said was rye. The other entree was their country chicken wrap. This consisted of chicken, lettuce andtomatoes in a wrap with a vinegarete sauce, which was requested to be on the side, but was coated over the wrap. The heatquality was lacking on both items and the fries as if they needed to be refreshed. The onion rings were good, but cut verythick. In looking at the ice cream and dessert menu, many of these favorites are gone. Like most ice cream places, choppedpeanuts as a topping is gone in favor of the food police. Some of the old flavors are also gone in favor of their best sellingones. Every thing seems to have a coating of whipped cream on it, from tge ice cream to the milk shakes. There was a time thatFriendly's evoked good tasty dinning that was not just for kids. But it appears the lackluster has gone. While I may choose tograb a pint or quart from my local supermarket freezer, dinning at their resturant is no longer on my menu choice Read more
Food is alright and the wait staff is friendly. Restaurant definitely needs some updates - seats are literally falling apart.... Also, I feel bad for the patrons who are seated near the bathroom. They should build a wall at the last booth or something.Seems awkward they literally see into the bathroom if anyone enters or exits. I'm assuming they hear the flushes as well. Inaddition, someone left the sink on since it's not an automatic sink. It's 2022. I think you could update the sink. Read more
Truly wonderful service ?? and we we're a large group for a kid's birthday dinner, which isn't easy. The ice cream and fribbles... were as delicious as always. And the m&m pancakes are my son's favorite (although, they aren't doing breakfast all day anymore,so check before you go if you're going for pancakes) Read more
Wonderful service. Awesome deals. But food is way TOO SALTY. Besides that; I appreciate them cutting the cake for us and singing... Happy Birthday for my little cousin. Read more
This Friendly's often has good lunch specials. I appreciate the easy parking situation and the location. Its a good spot to... quickly get some burgers and fries. Their home-fried potatos are good but you can tell they were frozen so minus 5 points fornot having fresh potatoes. Their french fries are thick and pretty tasty so that makes up for the potatoes. The burger isactually pretty good I ordered the bacon double cheese burger. I liked it a lot. My friend got a bacon, egg and cheese and hesaid its his go to Friendly's choice. Overall i give this Friendly's a 3.5 out of 5. They didn't do anything wrong but its notmeant to be a 5 star experience. I would go back but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there. Read more
Friendly staff; customer service was just okay, average just like the food. It's more for kids and seniors. Personally would not... recommend for other people. The food isn't worth the price. Read more
