You're right. I don't often do restaurant reviews.... mainly because the only place I truly can't resist (until now) is the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. I can't tell ya how many franchises Friendly's has since every time I try to search Firefox enters my location or I get a "no location" if I guess at possible places. So let's just say it's a North-eastern thing.

Last time I was there more than six years ago I left disappointed. The sandwich was Ok, but I was far from full which is the worst possible way I can leave an eatery. But this time was different. The ad we had seen was 2 for $20 and we decided to try it for a change. the $20 included a shared appetizer and two entrees.

Stacy, the server on her first day back after two years brought us the appetizers and we were both hungry since we left home before breakfast, so we dug in before before I pulled the camera:



A few minutes later Stacy came back with another plate. She said some had fallen off so the kitchen prepared 10 more. The appetizers were very filling and the entrees came before we had finished them.

Donna had some sort of fried chicken salad:


I had chicken qu... ugh... I hope you recognize it because even google can't help me spell it. But they are under the fries. Triangular shaped with cheese and presumably chicken.


Donna had enough food left on her plate to request a box. I finished mine, but I was full. With tax and tip (no drinks except water for Donna at no charge) we spent $27. Expensive for lunch, but not having eaten breakfast and still being full for dinner, I got a day's worth of food out of the deal.

I took a survey from the receipt and printed a coupon for a BOGO "metl" sandwich. Maybe they'll get us back within the month. It was a pleasant experience.
