Friendly's - Myrtle Beach

The restaurant served hot and fresh food, and our server kept our glasses filled with water. The portions were very large, almost making us feel sick. We didn't have to wait for a table, and I accidentally left my wallet at the table. The staff found it and kept it behind the counter for me until I could retrieve it. The restaurant's name truly reflects their friendly service. Unfortunately, there were no pictures of the food because we had already devoured it, but overall, it was a great place for delicious food, generous portions, and excellent service.

We have visited this restaurant as a family several times. The food has always been consistently good, but it is on the pricier side. For example, two appetizers and an ice cream sundae cost us $50. Unfortunately, the staff seemed a bit inattentive and unengaging from the moment we walked in. The ice cream sundae, meant for a small family, consisted of a small scoop of ice cream and a small dollop of whipped cream. We also did not receive the appetizers we ordered, and by the time we realized they weren't coming, we decided to order something else as the portion sizes seemed to have decreased significantly. Our drinks and water were brought to us only moments before we left the table. Perhaps it was just an off day for the staff, but this was a minor issue on an otherwise pleasant day. We may consider trying another restaurant in the future.

Despite their name, the staff were not friendly. I understand the 18% gratuity for large groups, but if the hostess knows that a group wants to sit together and deliberately seats them far away from each other, and then acts unfriendly, the rest of the visit is unacceptable to me. I will not be returning to this place. The food was average, nothing extraordinary. The only highlight was the dessert, for which they are known. The children really enjoyed it! The dessert alone is the reason for the two-star rating.

We were not with a friend in a long voice, but this looked so new and inviting and it was! debbie, our server was very attentive, the tables were deleted from dressing as soon as we were finished with them, eating was fresh and came out how the menu photos look! the interieur is beautiful and clean and it was a pleasant experience that was naturally decorated with a sunshade!

The food from this place is fantastic!! The best clam strips I've ever had!! Will definitely eat here again!! BTW, the ice cream is great as well.
