Nasty food got a chuckwagon sandwich was burnt and flat as a pancake. Will not ever eat there again. If I could would not give them one star. Check food before you leave. 😔
I love going to Friendly lunch to eat. They are the only place in town who can get my country ham just right. The owners and staff are down to earth and very nice. It has that small town feel where friends and families can get together and enjoy a good meal around the table with that at home feel but with the blessing of others around you that you can laugh, talk, and just enjoy the moment with. Once you have been there a few times if you like to talk to people, you will become like family there.

We have eaten breakfast there twice and enjoyed both. Best ham and cheese omelet in town. Great food and service at a reasonable price. Wish we had discovered this restaurant earlier. Small town hidden gem that's not fancy but serves great food!

If you want a mouth watering Cheeseburger and onion rings and excellent tea Friendly Lunch is the place to go. They will not disappoint you. Billy and Gloria Roark

Great place friendly people awesome food.
I can't believe I've been missing out on this hidden gem! Clarence Friendly Lunch is so much more than your typical spot – it's a welcoming, pristine place where every detail shows how much they care. The staff went above and beyond, making sure I had everything I needed before I even had to ask. From the sparkling clean interior to the charming blue-glitter tables and modern light-up LCD menus, you can feel the thought and care that goes into the atmosphere.
I ordered the fried chicken salad, and it was so fresh! The ranch dressing was spot on, perfectly complementing the crispy chicken and crisp greens. It really surprised me; I’d been hesitant to stop in before, thinking it might be like other greasy spoon places, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Clarence Friendly Lunch is something special, and I’m already looking forward to coming back for their ribeye special that everyone seems to rave about.

Best place in Caldwell county for ribeye steaks on Friday night 4 til 8 every Friday . The Cook there knows how to cook your steaks anyway you like them . For 15$ u can't find stark this big and good anywhere in the country. 1 inch thick cut beautiful ribeye with 3 sides n hot fresh rolls you can't beat it for the price in this world we live in now . So stop n try the steaks n tell me I'm lying I dare you!
