I
This is one of the best run Friendly's around. Food is always good and the people are top notch!“

“I ordered the 2 egg, cheese & bacon sandwich and believe me when I say it was huge. On top of that, it was one of the freshest, great tasting sandwiches I've had in a long time. Kiara did a great job as I watched her prepare it. She even put my hash brown on the grill after it was done to keep it warm. As I sat to eat, Ihnoticed how many times multiple staff members washed their hands. The restaurant is spotless as are the restrooms. Great job White Hut!!“

“Gluten free options make this wonderful place even more accessible to our family. Definitely recommend a scrumptious stop and a chance to pet some cows.“

“Professional staff, insured, and respectful. Highly recommended 👌“

“Creamy Delight soft serve ice cream, is REAL ice cream! The owner uses local, real milk that has 10% butterfat. No “fillers.” Her ice cream is simply the best soft serve ice cream I have ever had, and it’s worth the 30 minute drive from our house to buy her ice cream!!!! I humbly consider myself a soft serve ice cream connoisseur, having eaten ice cream from New York City to Boston and Vermont. 5 Stars for Creamy Delight! Absolutely gorgeous setting on Rte 47 in Hadley looking up at Skinner Mountain and the “Seven Sisters” mountains. No soft serve ice cream compares to Creamy Delight, and she’s open till November 2nd!!“

“I had Batch ice cream for the first time today. The staff was friendly and the service was very fast. I got the Almond Joy and would definitely order it again! Thanks!“

“My neighbor brought me to Rogers in Chicopee on Chicopee Street.
The line wasn't too long and in the back there is wood picnic tables you could sit on. It was probably at least eight of them. Two ice creams, small chocolate and vanilla twirl with whipped cream came to $23 a little expensive.
But it was good.
The staff was very patient friendly.
Parking is on the street whether in the front or on the side.
They seem to specialize in a ice creams that are called a boom. I have no idea what the cost is. It's got to be huge because the ice cream looks like it's a small megaphone build in a wafer type cone but the cone is huge. With the ice cream in the cone it was probably 7 in long and about 3 1/2 to 4 in tall at the highest point!!!
We saw a family of four sharing that one ice cream.“

“We’re in town from Virginia and were looking for a locally owned place for ice cream. This place was perfect! Very cute with lots of flavors. Plenty of outdoor seating for such a small place. There were only a couple of young ladies working and they were quite busy as it is a sunny Saturday but they handled the rush quite well. My husband and I own and orientate our own ice cream shop so we know how these busy times can be! We’d definitely come back when we’re in the area again.“

“Brought my wife and granddaughter out for an ice cream cone… my granddaughter got birthday cake… She absolutely loved it!! She said it’s her new favorite!!! Mine was a strawberry cone, it was delicious!! The ice cream. Is definitely a hit and we will be back!!!“

“Absolutely the best ice cream around. Flavors change with the seasons and they never disappoint.“

“This place has been around forever. In that time they manged to have a 100 flavors of ice creame alone. Anything you can think of is on that menu for ice cream. Any type of cone, and toppings.
They have a food menu as well your typical hotdogs and hamburgers type deal.
For the kiddos they have a massive area for kids to run around and play. This is also dog friendly with plenty of area for your fur child to run around.
Outdoor seating as well as limited in door seating available as well.
Over all this place is a gem..!“

“Best gluten free and dairy free options! They even have a gluten free cone! I got black raspberry chocolate chip ♡“

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

“Great variety of ice cream flavors.“

“Our go to ice cream place. I live in Southwick and drive by 2 other ice cream places to come here b cause the are the best. Generous sized ice cream cones and a nice selection of soft and hard ice scream. Scoops doesn’t break the bank to bring your family.“

“honestly not worth it for 30 dollars and 3 hour wait time. I went this past weekend after 7 years away. And they still have a lot of the same animatronics and barely any "actors" every stop only had 1-2 "scare actors" if you would even call it that. There was just one guy that would stroll through the line with a light up toy chainsaw ( their busiest night ) lots of empty spots with no scare. 3 actors the whole hay ride. The only one trying was Chuckie honestly. need to update the animatronics , dirty and some deflated . Walked through the haunted house no one was there, only towards the end maybe 2 more actors. For the price and location- western ma deserves better.“

“Great ice cream! always fast & amazing service love how close it is to me! also the prices are 🎉👍🫶“

“Great place to give a try!!!“

“Love the soft serve ice cream & you can sit outside 😋😃“

“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.“

“My favorite frozen yogurt ever. I was heartbroken when they closed during the height the pandemic in 2020. I used to be a regular and I will be again. Yogurt 10/10, portion sizes 10/10, love the pints to go, 10/10 toppings and rotating flavors, 10/10 service the owner is working often and he is so nice and welcoming!!! Everyone else as well! They offer non dairy and GF options!!“

“I had the best breakfast sandwich today! The baked goods are phenomenal too.“

“Absolutely amazing! The ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The soft serve was soft and such a delicious vanilla flavor. The Atkins Cider sundae was a whole bowl and super good. The apple cider milkshake was so good. The chocolate peanut butter and s’mores campfire was out of this world! Please come here if you want legit creamy ice cream for a great price!“

“Great food and great prices. We enjoyed the Gyro and the Falafel.“

“always quick and delicious“

“Went for my first time, loved everything about it. I got the yogurt bow and OMG so good can't wait to go back“

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

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

“great for children, adults and yummy food and icecream“

“Our favorite place! Every year my son asks when they'll open. Been going at least 7 years now. They have amazing flavors, have cool sundaes and shakes. They have hard ice cream too that is amazing! The flavored soft serve is spot on, well mixed etc., their sprinkles are phenomenal (I normally don't even like them)
They've been willing to accommodate requests for me multiple times in the past. If they got it, they'll do it! They have a very sweet staff. This place truly is a summer treat!!
Very reasonably priced
They have pup cups!“

“An amazing variety of standard flavors and unique seasonal flavors. On top of that, it is kosher!“

“After the last visit to the Westfield Friendly’s, I was never going to go back. Today I really wanted a strawberry banana frenzy so I decided to give it another chance. The woman working today was so polite and she appeared to really love her job. Looks like things are getting better at Help Friendly’s!“

“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“

“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 favorite refuel pitstop after hot yoga!! Their teas and smoothies are delicious, refreshing, and filling. The owner is super sweet and I come just as much for the good conversation and unique environment as I do for the tasty treats. 10/10!!“

“Depending on the day/time, I’d suggest ordering online using the Cold Stone App. When you arrive, go to the cashier and let them know you have an online pickup order. If you wait in the line that says online order pickup, you tend to be ignored.“

“super delicioso! 100% recomendado! todo estaba super bueno!“

“I've been going to Friendlys since I was kid. love their sundaes. great place to go. great family restaurant“

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

“Not a safe place to sit inside

The drinks and food are pretty good, however I don't feel safe however to sit down and enjoy my beverage inside. Last time I was there I noticed a large group of (possibly ) homeless people doing drugs in the back seating area. I watched this happen multiple times over a 2 hour span and an employee kept walking by and did nothing about it. I had to bring my stuff with me to the bathroom because I was afraid it would get stolen.“

“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 💛💛💛“
