Friendly's - Johnson City

My wife and I were in town and while we live in Massachusetts, we were excited to see a friend in this way! Came tonight, a Sunday night at 7:30. The host was very friendly and sat immediately. Our server, Sam, was lovely during our dinner and made sure that we got the best dinner we were looking for and made us smile all the time. The food was perfectly cooked and service was super fast. I was shocked our appetizer, the delicious mozzarella bits (30 mini-mozzarella sticks), were at the table in a few minutes. I have the three-fold bacon Cheeseburger, which was absolutely cooked for perfection! That was the best kindness experience I ever had! I'd come back to Johnson City and Binghamton, just for this kindness!

I visited on a typical Sunday for my usual banana split and fries. I received a warm welcome filled with smiles as I walked in and took a seat. The waitress was friendly, and the food was delicious! I was also welcomed by a handsome gentleman named Eric, who appeared to be the manager; he was incredibly helpful, making my experience truly enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back for more! Thank you!

I was a bit disappointed with the new menu many old favorites gone, many new dishes with brisket, which they were out of. Hmm. I know they are to be open for breakfast again soon, which is nice, but they have a small staff and the wait is long. Some of the staff there who have hung in there through the pandemic are like old friends, and I don't wish to slam anyone. We love Friendly's. I had the Fishamajig which was okay, I asked for it to be on a burger bun I stead of the toasted bread. I had wanted the fish and chips or the shrimp platter, but neither of these is on the menu now. Bummer. My husband had a grilled chicken salad which was in quite a small bowl for a dinner salad. He enjoyed it all the same. We had ice cream free with our meals, as we are seniors, and it was as delicious as ever.

I visited the restaurant on Friday at 5:00 p.m., and it was quite busy, which was great to see—I really missed dining in a lively atmosphere. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. We only had a short wait for our table and for our food, around 10-15 minutes, which was perfectly reasonable considering they are ramping up to accommodate the influx of diners again. Both the dinner and the sundae were excellent.

Fantastic location! It was a hot day, perfect for some ice treats with my grandchildren. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. Our order was delivered quickly, and the ice was delicious.
