“First time there today and it was amazing, I had the beef short rib grilled cheese with sweet potato fries, my hubby had the Philly Cheesesteak and the French onion soup!! Our server explained a lot to us about the food and told us her favorite dishes!!! We will definitely be back !!“

“Walking by The Lab on our way to Leaps and Bones, I always look at the creative menu posted in the window of The Lab. Today my pup got some treats and I took home a sandwich that was spectacular! I’m sure my pup and I will both get treats every time we go to Factory Square in the future!“

“As someone who doesn’t live in the area, this place was recommended to me by a local coworker. While the restaurant itself is casual and unassuming, the food was incredible. Everything we had was better than expected, and we learned there is a reason almost every table around us had a plate of wings! The French onion soup was also one of the best I’ve ever had. We found out from our wonderful waitress, Jade, that a lot of what makes the food so good is how much is made fresh in house, down to the caramel sauce! Jade was so sweet, I would ask for her again if I made the trek back (and I’m seriously considering it after the meal!).“

“I ordered for delivery. Everything was amazing. We got the evening specials, the burgers. Their burgers are so good. That's why I always order here. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure his customers have a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this spot. If they had desert options, it'd be too perfect.“

“Tried for the first time today ! I had the loco taco hot dog and it was delicious !“

“Usually don’t leave reviews, but have to leave one for this place. Food never disappoints, great customer service, great prices. Definitely worth going to any chance you get!“

“Good service with very attentive waitresses. Food is delicious and cooked perfectly. They do have size options for the pancakes so if you are not into giant pancakes you can downsize. Atmosphere is comfortable but not overwhelming. The price is a nice plus to coming here, even though they only accept cash, but that keeps their prices down.“

“Three stops here so far and always delicious 😋! We have both lived in and visited Philly, this is the real deal“

“This place is amazing! Unreal scenery, the food is top notch, the best drinks, friendliest staff. The new ownership really turned this place around!“

“I don't go to very many restaurants except for Kimberly's and occasionally another one or two. I'm a regular customer. The food is excellent (The quesadillas are superb!), the help is pleasant, and atmosphere is nice. Kimberly's menu is so large that anyone should be pleased.“

“It was a very busy night with Christmas parties, etc. so I always cut the Restaurant some slack for that. Our waitress was lovely although she was very busy serving everyone. The drinks were good. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but my meal which was the pork tenderloin was honestly one of the worst ones I’ve ever had. It was not pork tenderloin. I’m not sure what it was. Overcooked and tough. But I will give them another chance.“

“Me and my fiancé always pass here. Little did we know when stopping by this morning, we had done ourselves the greatest disservice by going anywhere else besides here😭 the food is soooo good like when your parents make you breakfast and you’re super hungry on a weekend morning. This is the only place I’ll ever go for a meal again. We are OBSESSED“

“The French toast is amazing!“

“Always a pleasant staff….♥️“

“We ate here the first time this week. I had the BBQ Short Rib Melted Cheese. It was divine! We'll be back.“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“Cannot thank the staff, especially Debbie, Cheryl, and Christine for their amazing efforts in coordinating a dinner at Gaetano's following a funeral for our treasured family member. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. We received many positive compliments from our family and friends. We could not have picked a better spot to gather. We are so grateful for the comfortable, supportive and positive experience we had during such a difficult time we were all going through.“

“We happened to come in on a busy night. Tina was our server. Her and the Manager were professional and handled the crowd with no problem. All our ice creams were perfect and it was still a pleasant environment even though every booth was full! Will definitely come back again“

“Excellent food.. great gluten free options! Placed an order for takeout today and received a surprise dessert! Little do you know, I ordered this meal for my mom who spent the entire day in the hospital with my grandma. Seeing this little extra treat after a very busy weekend just reminded me of why I love this restaurant. Thank you for being so good to your patrons. Will continue to recommend this restaurant to all. 🫶🏼“

“Great place. I’ll have to make it a point to work it into the calendar more. Beer was excellent. 24 different beers on tap I believe. Burger was great - big and delicious and my wife enjoyed her wrap. Bonus points for the King Diamond and Rob Halford photos on the wall. I didn’t get to check out all the prints. Cool spot. We’ll be back.“

(We had Cuban Sliders, Calamari and loaded plantain nachos). It was nice to have a unique restaurant experience for a change. It’s the type of place that everyone in the area should do at least once.“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

“Just had our first meal here. The entire restaurant is filthy. Our dishes that held our silverware were reused. Our table was dirty To where we washed it with our drinking water. We were ready to leave but had put in our order and wanted to try food. The food Was decent but pricey for amount you got. Called manager over to show him how thick the dust was on ledge where everyone sits And eats. He said he was new. Not an excuse. Restaurant was empty now I know why. The whole place smells dirty as soon as you sit down and have to breathe in one spot. This restaurant will not last if things don't Change. It will be a repeat of Chips restaurant all over again.“

“Homemade EVERYTHING!!! The restaurant and staff that make you feel like you’re home!!! My favorite hometown diner!“

“Went here with my husband and sons and we loved it. My older son ordered chicken and waffles but the waffle was a bit too hard. Me and my husband’s burgers were great and the milkshakes were soooooo great! I’m definitely going to go back and give them another chance.“

“Jason is absolutely amazing! I have stayed here for the past 10 days and each night he delivers exceptional service, delicious food, and some of the best hospitality I have ever experienced. I am so impressed!!!! Thank you Jason! You made my experience so special!!!“
