“they are the best for the Dubi chocolate covered strawberries“

“Wow. Best soft serve I've ever had!! Can't believe I never knew about this place earlier, but pleased to find out they will be staying open for the season all the way to early November this year (until daylight savings). Very cute little place with plenty of parking and beautiful views of farm fields while you eat. Plus, generous portions for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back!“

“booked them for an event Saturday, very happy, showed up on time, great service. Served about 100 people in about 45 minutes. people can not help but smile with an ice cream cone in their hand.“

“Love it! Looking forward to next ice cream season!“

“Mmm rico! Primera vez! Desde Puerto Rico!“

“Tried the lemon mousse with homemade penuche- delicious! Gluten free and vegan options are easy to find: clearly labeled on the menu. Portions are reasonable! Cute vibes. Max and Mirna add to the sweet ambiance. Service was great- I tried to order caramel sauce, but our server recommended I get the homemade penuche, which had a similar taste; it was lighter and grainier than caramel but delicious! Very glad we stopped by here!“

“Yummy!! We go a lot. My favorite is the asparagus ice cream.“

“Nice little spot for hard and soft serve ice cream, located on the side of Frankie and Johnny's Pizza. I believe they serve Hood brand ice cream, rather than making their own, but it is pretty good. Seating is all outside on a few benches on the edge of the parking lot, which is better than nothing, but could be a whole lot better. Staff are friendly and portions are generous for the reasonable prices.“

“Any of their burgers 🍔 are good love the 🍟 fries“

“Got the strawberry with a waffle cone it was some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had and the fresh waffle cone was amazing 10/10“

“We ate nextdoor at Max Tavern, the 8 girls in our party just ran into this establishment, but they were closed, door still open. They were very awesome and served us anyway. All the guys were super cool about it and did it with smiles. My wife ended up giving a 20 tip to split amongst themselves. They handled our super rowdy kids with ease to put a nice topper to a great meal at Max Tavern.Thanks Cold Stone Creamery. You guys rock!“

“Awesome food menu! The staff get to know all the “regulars” and they make you feel like family.“

“Everyone kept telling me how good Friendly's Cafe was so me and my youngest tried it.

I got the honey BBQ burger it looked delicious on the menu. When I received the burger it looked nothing like the one on the menu. The meat wasn't even cooked all the way even after asking for well done. It didn't taste like BBQ at all. I did not like this burger. The waffle fries were delicious.

My daughter ordered the mozzarella cheese sticks. They tasted okay but would have been better with ranch. She loved the apple sauce.

After dinner we decided to try the ice cream. My daughter had the reindeer chocolate ice cream and I ordered a peanut butter sundae but with dairy free raspberry sherbet. The ice cream was super delicious.

The service was great, no complaints.

The atmosphere was different from all the rest, it was modern and clean.

The best thing was the ice cream and I would go here again just for the ice cream.“

“I went today friendly’s restaurant with my mother so delicious ice cream i love them Good serving today“

“Best place in the City! 11 out of 10 on 10!!“

“Food is awesome! I recommend it to anybody that would like to try Puerto Rican food.“

“Last night my family and I went to Friendly's for dinner and I must say the service was exceptional. It was closer to when they close but our server, Amelia made sure that our dining experience was memorable. From the moment we were seated she was attentive, and friendly. Our drinks were refilled promptly and the food came out fast. Overall she made our meal truly enjoyable, and I highly recommend requesting her if you visit.“

“The food was great. I ordered the Fishimajig, it's a fried fish sandwich on Texas toast with tarter sauce. It was ? ?. Plenty of bread there. The fish wasn't small but it needed less bread or more fish to be consistent blending. Service wasn't great and neither was the wait time for the food and the restaurant was definitely not busy“

“Nice. Tea. No table service. Display case with sugary egg-infused desserts. Definitely not made on site. The tea fad is catching in the 5-college area like coffee houses 30 years ago. Without anything fancy or unique to Nice Tea, I'll be surprised if they can stay in business for more than 2 years.2 bathrooms, by binary orientation/ gender specification.It's NICE, but there are better places to get tea.What is the draw?“

“Have been to just about every friendlys in the area before and after they all closed except a select couple and I must say, out of them all, this one is the best one hands down, the GREATEST ONE...major s/o to Charlotte Emily and Jessica for their service and words will never explain the love and appreciation I have for them and its an honor to know them and having been served by them at past locations also..it also warms my heart to see that they're all together 💛💛 its much more an honor to aay that I've never been kept waiting too long by them in either location regardless of staffing circumstances and most importantly, their demeanors been the same and especially when it gets busy bc being in customer service and having worked in food especially, its known to get ugly and stressful and fast at that but grateful its never got there and its a testament to customers like me and the few who understand...Charlotte Jessica and Emily I love and appreciate yall and stay wonderful lovely and sweet and thank you for your kindness and for everything and yall being yall 💛💛💛“
