New England-based chain serves affordable diner food and ice cream treats in a homey, family-friendly atmosphere.. In Short
Friendly's opened its first location in 1935, and thanks to red vinyl booths and an old-time vibe, many of its 500-plus locations still feel rooted in that era. While nobody's ever mistook Friendly's signature ice cream for Ben & Jerry's, the restaurant does deserve acclaim for its Fribbles (extra-thick frappes) and inexpensive sundaes. Straightforward breakfast platters are served in the mornings only, while standard diner fare (tuna melts, beef burgers) is offered day and night.

This Place Was The Pits. We arrived around noontime. There was a small crowd but nothing overwhelming. The weekend crew was too busy to greet anyone, and people waited ten minutes without anyone to greet the people waiting to be seated. People left. Does this place suck or what? It should be renamed "UnFriendly's Proletariat Diner".
