I’m excited to introduce Friendly's, a classic American restaurant that feels instantly familiar the moment you walk in. Located at 815 NY-146, Clifton Park, NY 12065, United States, this spot has a welcoming, no-pressure vibe that works just as well for families as it does for a quick solo meal.

I like how Friendly's keeps things flexible, letting you drop in for a quick bite or linger a little longer with coffee and small plates.

We have gone many times to Friendly's. It is EXACTLY what it it is meant to be. Decent food, decent prices. Fun for families with kids, grandkids. Yummy ice cream. They have had a lot of challenges with staffing... but is better now than it was. Wait time for a table has DEcreased. Once you get to the table, the service is fine.

Our service was by a young lady who had been working there since 16, soon to be 21. She was attentive to our needs and patient with our slow ordering as the selection of food is diverse. The food was plentiful and delicious. Of course, the atmosphere was friendly!

A remembrance of childhood. Use to come to a local Friendly's with my grandmother everyday after school when I was a kid, getting a grilled cheese sandwich with fries and then the reeses pieces sunday. That was 30+ years ago, times have changed, and so has Friendly's. Don't get me wrong, I still adore the place, the old school feel of it all, but you can see the writing on the wall when you walk in and there's only a single booth in use during peak dinner time hours. But enough with that sad nostalgia, what about the food? Well I tried their Doritos Cool Ranch ChoppedCheese Burger, Onions Rings, and a Happy Ending Sunday. Total coming to just under $30, which is pretty standard for my Friday night endeavors. The Cool Ranch Burger I replaced the patty with the Impossible version, since I'm not big on red meat, and overall my impression was "this is a mess, a mouthful of mess, but it's kinda tasty." It wasn't as spicy as I expected given the presence of jalapeños, and it held together better than expected when first judged by appearances. The rings were perfect, crispy, crunchy, and great fried onion flavor. And the Sunday, which comes free with certain meals like this one, was a refreshing way to cap things off as I opted for the Peppermint Stick ice cream. Overall I am full, satisfied, and mildly saddened by the decline of this once bumping east coast establishment.
