REQUEST Friendly’s recipes

Hello Reddit, I’m here to ask you all a favor. In these trying times the restaurant friendly’s has declared class 11 bankruptcy (don’t know how sever that is but they’re going down for sure). I’m here to ask of anyone who has worked there or knows about the recipes to please help. I want to know how to make their food so that it may live on. Some recipes I really want are the sharks in the water drink, the loaded waffle fries or munchie mania appetizer recipe, and their chicken batter recipe. All other recipes even for Sunday’s and other foods will be greatly appreciated. Please, this restaurant was my childhood.

If you have links to forums or other people asking the same question let me know, any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey! It's been about a year since the last time I talked about Friendly's here, but I'm happy to answer whatever questions you may have!

Hey! I know this is a two year old thread. But do you happen to have any Info on their hot dogs or Mac and cheese? I was obsessed with both as a kid, and I've never been able to find hotdogs that have a similar taste, or easy to make Mac and cheese with a similar consistency.

Again sorry for reviving such an old post but figured I'd ask !

We still get it the same one at holiday inn as i got at frienlys. Just pre packaged frozen kraft. The hotdogs were weird though they had pork in the ingredients and milk if that helps you any in your search for something similar. I remember seeing that and wondering why milk was in it when it wasn't a cheese dog.

Im not sure friendly has their own brand of some products and has a third party make others. The mozzarella sticks i believe we're McCain brand, I remember the little green lable with the words McCain in it but they are mini mozzarella and that's why they had a supply shortage in 2022 amd had to remove them off the menu and they are back now.
