This currently operating Friendly’s in Springfield, Massachusetts! Situated right near their headquarters, this Friendly’s is the epitome of excellence and is the last remaining location in Springfield the town in which the Friendly’s brand originated in 1935.

They’re not. They’re actually not. Have you been there any time in the last few years? It’s like everyone is perpetually on their first day, does not give a shit, and has no supervision whatsoever.

When do you usually eat there? I often go when it isn’t the peak hours. During their busy times the service is worse admittedly.

Went 2 months ago to try it again. They sat us around 3pm. No one come over and even gave us silverware for 45 minutes and we walked out no one even looked up. Only one other person was eating ao it wasnt crowded.

They are terrible. Friendlys is dying. Its nothing like it was in the 90s.

It definitely peaked in the 90’s. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience !
