New England-based chain serves affordable diner food and ice cream treats in a homey, family-friendly atmosphere.. In Short
Friendly's opened its first location in 1935, and thanks to red vinyl booths and an old-time vibe, many of its 500-plus locations still feel rooted in that era. While nobody's ever mistook Friendly's signature ice cream for Ben & Jerry's, the restaurant does deserve acclaim for its Fribbles (extra-thick frappes) and inexpensive sundaes. Straightforward breakfast platters are served in the mornings only, while standard diner fare (tuna melts, beef burgers) is offered day and night.

A great tradition. Growing up it was always a treat to go to Friendly's, and it still is. I still stop in for bite with my folks, and I enjoy taking my nephew there as well. A great tradition!
