American Restaurants near Friendship

“Anna is always fantastic anytime we go in there! She's so personal and really engages with each person! We hope she wins the gift card!“

“Great service and very fteindly staff“

“I know a lot* about this place, roughly 8-9yrs "lot". One of the only places I will go because the atmosphere is that of profession & family.

Everything I have eaten here has been great and I cook myself, so I will save fantastic for my* food ;-). Staff has been middlin-to-great any given time/day. While cooks are not chefs, they do great with what they're working with (small, but efficient) and the kitchen is always* clean. What more could I* ask?

Payment options are cash, check or TYME machine, because card fees will add up to 10% to food & the owner likes keeping food at decent prices (plus Frontier internet service is subpar). FWIW, low prices have not changed but 75¢ in 8yrs! One extra egg at breakfast, so if You want two, order one. If You want four, order three.

RE (I think some reviewers are confused as to what establishment they are reviewing [there is another similar name in another county] or the few, negative reviews are fictitious):
*) The ATM fee, since 2012, is $3.50, not $5 (Kwik Trip is free, stop there if on the way, or bring cash/check)
*) Pizza is never* frozen... NEVER!
*) There is not* more than one bartender on Wed.
*) How can an "undercooked/raw" meal be "overcooked"?
*) Drink prices are pretty much 2nd or 3rd lowest in the area. 25¢ additional for a tall (pint)... $4.25 for top shelf liquor and $2 for domestic, draught beer, $6.50 a pitcher! $5 bloodies, $5.50 White Russians, $5 rail old fashions, $7* Long Islands... Happy hour (-50¢) is 16°°-18°° for domestic draught, cans and rail liquor. Sound high-priced or sound fictitious to You?
*) Being on the phone at work is not allowed there (nor has mention of the violation ever* been an issue) unless it is a business-related call. It gets loud in the bar, so it is common for the bartender to go to the back kiosk to create a carry-out ticket.
*) Most appetizers and sides are portioned (which means weighed), as well as sandwich meats, so no one meal gets more than another of the same.
*) There is no waitress on the weekday evenings, occasionally during holiday season, so if one sits under the sign in the dining room that displays the plea, "Please make Your order at the bar", and the bartender can't legally leave a full bar, then courtesy should definitely be given. No?

If You have any issues with the food, service & cleanliness and courtesy doesn't resolve it, leave a date in your review and simply don't go there on that day. Don't make the owner suffer because of one bad egg. Help make the business better. It is a family-orientated establishment that has served & survived the test of time. It can't be that* bad now can it?

AMERICA! :-)

P.S.
Kitchen hours for fryer & grill are 8°°-20°° Sunday & 8°°-21°° Mon-Sat. Pizzas oven remains on after those hours; Bartender's discretion (laws prohibit leaving a bar area). Homemade soup can be purchased cold to go & frozen appetizers can be purchased to take home to Your air fryer!!!“

“Came here on a Tuesday for lunch with my parents. My mom and I had the chicken sandwich and my dad had the stuffed burger. All of our meals were very tasty. Probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I also had the broccoli bites with ranch dressing and those are super good also. Nice clean and newly remodeled interior. Beautiful bar area. Tasha was our server and cook today and she's awesome. Very friendly and makes good food! Definitely recommend.“

“stopped by on our way home from fishing. Had drinks and pizza. The pizza was amazing. We will definitely be going back!!!“

“This is a great little bar and grill with a fantastic fish fry and good burgers. There's a nice little patio with a great view of Arkdale Lake. The interior is very nice also. I love all of the sturdy and solid wood tables. It's always a great place to stop when I'm in the area.“

“I've met some of the greatest people I know here“

“Dave and Dan were awesome to hang out with and made us out of towners feel at home! Keep up the good work and hope be back again one day!“

“Food is beyond fabulous!!! The owners wife needs a little work.“

“When we’re seated the waitress told us they were one waitress down so please bear with us. Well it was crowded and the people they had there did a fantastic job of keeping everything moving. Very friendly crew!“
