Friend's Diner is a cozy neighborhood restaurant where homemade-style food and friendly service take center stage. The menu offers a wide range of options, including the standout tenderloin lunch special with a perfectly seasoned and fried tenderloin. The staff is known for their down-to-earth and welcoming demeanor, making visitors feel at ease. While some dishes may not impress, the overall vibe is inviting, with a mix of regular customers and students from the nearby university. The restaurant is clean, and the highlight is the butter on the pancakes, whipped with vanilla or cream cheese for a cheesecake-like flavor. Customers have praised the caramel pancakes and the great iced tea, and the service has been described as very good, with prompt drink refills and a friendly wait staff.
