“Great pizza , service is excellent“

“We were coming from thr airport and needed to catch a quick bite. I found out about this place a few years ago, but we never had a chance to go. I ended up getting the Santa Fe salad and a cup of chili because it was a chili kind of day. It had good flavor, but it had green peppers in it. Not a fan. The salad was good sized, so I ended up leaving with a box. My husband had the nachos. I tasted a little of the port, which wasn't bad. The portion was huge and he was loving the Carolina sauce, but there's a self-serve station so you can try them all. And they had to-go boxes handy, so you didn't have to ask the staff. Although they were quite friendly. Nice display of desserts next to the counter, but we did not partake this time. Lots of parking and some booth seating with a rustic interior.“

“I very, very, very much enjoy the meat and cheese boards at this restaurant. These folks have fun with the displays, and it shows. Meat and cheese boards are no less art than meals, and they make my heart sing“

“Superb service and absolutely 10/10 food“

“Anais is the best. Made us feel at home and made some amazing drinks. She deserves praise such a hard worker. The food was amazing and the cooking team deserves a shout out. Never thought I'd be praising garlic noodles but they were fire. The pizza was amazing too. The restaurant is beautiful and has nice outdoor dining tables. Large room for group events as well. Going to come back next week!“

“Incredible food and drink menu. Everything 10/10“

“Today is the 7th anniversary of Daily Ops opening. Praise be! My favorite restaurant.. Congratulations to Chef David, who leads the creative endeavors of this excellent establishment, and to the staff, who function like a super bowl, bound team. BTW, try the fried oyster sandwich. My first time eating fried oysters but not the last..... Congratulations to Chef David and staff! (Leave room for dessert. Jenn's pastry creations and a newly arrived soft serve ice cream, will finish you.)“

“The team at wheelhouse are amazing. Dakota and Stephanie are amazing to work with. The food you creating for Emily and Adams wedding weekend was perfect!! Thank you so much for everything!!!!“

“Marco Carreira and his team recently catered a lunch buffet for an event that I hosted at my home. They came through for me on a very busy weekend on short notice. The food was still steaming hot when we picked it up, the amount of food included was more than generous, and everyone commented on how delicious everything was. Highly recommend!“

“We're from Wisconsin and had breakfast March 31 in your restaurant. I wish I could remember our waitress' name, but she was delightful. I had the (canned)corned beef hash omelet and loved it. I've never seen an omelet shaped the way you serve it, but again it was terrific on looks alone! You folks do a marvelous job.“

“Love there drink selection“

“We were at a private birthday celebration. Three wait staff who provided service were tremendous. Wonderful staff.“

“My husband and I are from upstate New York and came here with a relative from the Massachusetts area for our first time. We were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, which was just the beginning of a more than exceptional experience. The menu concerned us with its limited options, but alas, the quality of the food offered was by no means disappointing. The char and the fried chicken were outstanding. The service was the best we’ve ever received in our lives (and we go out frequently) , and then there was their chocolate crème brûlée. AMAZING. We highly recommend this lovely restaurant.“

“We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner in the Amherst room on Oct. 23rd. Nothing short of amazing! Appetizers were plentiful and delicious, as was the steak, chicken and shrimp & crab scampi. Our server Karen was one in a million, she was two steps ahead the whole evening and a big part of the success shared by the wedding party. Thank you to all the staff for making it a magical night :)“

“The owner and the manager and waitresses were very rude very unprofessional.My daughter in-law went there 2 years ago said the service and food was great My son and daughter in-law and I went there on Saturday 11-8-2025 It was about 15 or 20 minutes to order then when we did order we waited over 1hour 15 minutes to eat the food was luke, warm. My daughter in-law bit into a clam strip and thought she broke her tooth she was afraid to eat anymore we had seafood the way it came out the food was saturated from the frying oil like it hadn't been changed in weeks I had coleslaw that had a fish taste to it like it was stored with open fish in the fridge we asked to speak to the manager when she finely came over she wanted the food my daughter in-law spit out in the napkin so obviously. the manager didn't believe her I ask to have her meal comped the manager left never came back I asked to speak to the owner eventually The owner came over was disrespectful rude and very unprofessional, for an owner of a restaurant. first of all, the kitchen was backed up.He should have been in the kitchen helping the cooks second of all he shouldn't have told me to get out of his restaurant the way he did.....“

“My husband and I try to visit the Delaney House at least once a year. We went last night to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. Our server, Cali M, was great. She was experienced enough as a server to know to ask us if we were celebrating anything, and made it that much more special by bringing us complimentary glasses of delicious champagne. She had the perfect balance between checking in on us while not being over-bearing or making us feel rushed. The food, as always, was a 10/10 and we even tried new cocktails which were delicious. One of our favorite spots!“

“Friendlys in Florence is my go to when I’m in town love the hbbq melt and fries, ends with a nice dish of mint cookie crunch

Update on this establishment: it’s still one of the best places to dine in and eat the chicken quesadillas are extremely good“

“My dad and I ate here last night before a show at Academy Music. Akasia was our server and we loved her. Our food was the best meal we have ever had together in all of our foodie ventures and we wish it was closer so we could go back. The steak tips were cut in house and resembled filet. The scallops were so good we got a second order. The salad was delicate but really great. My dad got the salmon and he is very picky on salmon, but it was incredible and he was delighted we made the choice to go there. I wish the oysters on the half shell were bigger, but the rest made up for it. My dad is in a wheelchair and everyone was super accommodating. Akasia was on point and knew we had a time crunch and accommodated that and also took some nice photos of us together. Great mock-tails and atmosphere was a 10. Hopefully one day soon we can make it back.“

“Nice course, great shape, beautiful views great price.“

“If you have never dined here before, you are in for a surprising treat. The Culinary Arts Department at the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School operates a student-run restaurant three days a week, Wednesday through Friday of most weeks, from 10:45 AM to 12:30 PM. The students, under the supervision of three chef instructors, learn every aspect of food preparation and service. There is menu service on Wednesdays and Thursdays and an all you can eat buffet on most Fridays, which is currently priced at only $15.00. The menu changes weekly and is posted online. This is genuinely one of the hidden gems of the Pioneer Valley.“

“Breakfast is outstanding.“

“Best bagel, egg, cheese and bacon sandwich I ever ate. Great popovers and clam chowder. We stayed at River Valley Inn for 2 days and ate at the Smithsonian Cafe and Chowder House 4x! No need to go anywhere else during our vacation! They also sell a delicious prepared Coffee Milk from Our Family Farm too!“

“Great chicken Caesar wrap!“

“What a charming little place with quick and friendly service and incredible food—I'll definitely return!“

“Delicious food and good prices. I come here with my grandma at least once a month on a Sunday. Food comes out very quick and is always amazing- large portions and delicious. Absolutely love they have chicken sausage as a meat option as most sausages contain pork!

Not only do they have amazing dine-in options but their take out is just as tasty! Their pastry case always looks and tastes wonderful! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, delicious breakfast and lunch!“

“Whatta brunch!!! Arrived just after 11am on a Thursday. Miss Flo was busy but not packed. We took a seat at the counter and were immediately greeted by a friendly server. Pancakes plus and an OcFLOberfest (corn beef hash, sauerkraut & thousand island dressing) omelette arrived quickly. Both were HUGE and GREAT! Ilana and Amanda were fast friendly and slightly sassy servers. The hot sauce was a fun condiment. Everything was clean. Miss Flo has a warm local friendly vibe. She is a Pioneer Valley icon that lives up to her reputation. We need to eat here more than once or twice a year!“

“The mushroom sweet potato & Swiss chard tacos were absolutely delicious and one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time.“

“amazing food. hot bartenders. I wanna rub beer cheese on them. that would be delicious 😋“

“I went in yesterday with my bestie for our monthly outing. I havn't ever been before. We had drinks and a few appetizers. Everything was amazing. Great atmosphere and experience. Saw a sexy lumberjack and made eye contact but alas! I couldnt get his number before he left, so if you see this, message me! 😂 edit: our waitress was great too! 🫶🏻“

“I’m not even exaggerating when I say Friendly’s just served me the greatest ice cream known to humanity. I had gone to another place first, and the ice cream was so horrible I genuinely started questioning every decision that had led me there. The texture? Criminal. The flavor? Disrespectful. My happiness? GONE.

Then I remembered my trusted Friendly’s. I walked in emotionally defeated, ordered my ice cream, and took that first bite… LIFE CHANGING. I swear the clouds parted, angels started singing, and my depression packed its bags and moved out. This wasn’t just ice cream—it was a spiritual experience, a warm hug for my soul, and possibly the greatest moment of my entire existence.

10/10. 5 stars. Would trust Friendly’s with my life. Friendly’s didn’t just serve me ice cream. Friendly’s saved me.
Shout out to the guy w the brown beard who got me a new scooper so I didn’t have an allergic reaction“

“This place is always a great dining experience. We've been coming here for years and never been disappointed. Had the Carpet Bagger Steak at the recommendation of our server and it was fabulous! The pain fried oysters were lightly breaded and the best I ever had! You folks are the best!!“

“great food staff was awesome thanks again..“

“LOBSTER BISQUE!!! I’ll be back!“

“How can I forget about this place where I could eat healthy with a number of exquisite varieties, located at Amherst College, what I loved is that once you are in the dining room you can eat everything you want, so it is worth it. in that sense.“
