Friends

Great food, friendly staff, cold beer and a welcoming atmosphere. A hidden gem for sure!

The food was great and the people were really nice. The place was very clean and family friendly. The only thing there missing is a pool table.

First time back in years. Great experience. We made reservations ahead of time, our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Our server was prompt, courteous and offered great suggestions to the menu. The food was delicious as it looked. Five Stars!

Friendly staff and clean casual atmosphere. Excellent food (worth the wait if it takes a bit). We were 6 people and everyone was very pleased with the apps, salads and entrees. We’ll be back!

We went to Friends for a late meal after working a Market nearby and although the kitchen was about to close, our server was absolutely wonderful and took care of us and made sure our orders were taken in time. My burger was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked, the service was fantastic and the energy was wonderful. You can tell everyone loves this spot because groups kept pouring in for drinks and socializing. High volume level with lots of laughter and friendship. My wife left her debit card there accidentally and when I called to retrieve it the next day, prior to opening, the staff were wonderful, pleasant, polite and thoughtful. I can’t say enough good about this place and the people. I’ll definitely stop in again next time I’m in town.

Best food we had in the area, grest service and extremely clean!!

Great food, several great beer choices on tap, plus plenty of can and bottle choices and a full top shelf bar. The food is great, not a 5 page menu, but who has that many choices anymore? Have been here multiple times and not a bad meal yet! The place is perfectly clean and well kept. Service is perfect and with a smile. You can tell that the owners care. Juke box and darts, bar and dining room seating. This is a hidden gem just off the beaten path.

We had a great time tonight. Everyone was awesome. Steve was our waiter. He was awesome!! The food was great. Even though we were a party of 7, the service was perfect. The food was delicious. We aways look forward to going there before we go see the lights at Bethel.

My husband and I recently got takeout here and it was delicious! Our meals were ready quickly and were fresh and full of flavor. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming just as the name of the restaurant would suggest. :) We'll definitely be returning and recommend others do, as well!

Stumbled upon this establishment while visiting the area. The people were amazing. Beer was amazing. Amazing wings. If you haven’t been here you’re doing something wrong. If you’re looking for a typically townie bar where everyone knows everyone you’re headed in the right direction coming here. The wings are so good 10/10

Had a pretty good experience here and our waiter was very attentive. It’s killing me that I can’t remember his name at the moment bc I’m writing this weeks after the experience. Maybe I should be more disciplined writing the reviews while the food experience is fresh in my mind, I’ll think about it. House salad was standard and was simple but executed well. The shrimp apps were decent, seasoned well and fried hard. Half were tempura and the other half coconut. I wish we had one more of each. My son read the menu for the 1st time (5) by his lonesome and selected the shrimp and fries platter which was also just standard. We dabble into pescatarian and allow seafood & dairy once in a while. The Beet Salad could’ve been better reimagined. Just looked and felt like it was just abruptly thrown together. Big pieces of lettuce with tons of beets (very tender) and various sizes of goat cheese. My husbands pasta was the best dish. Very garlicky and very flavorful. The lemon cake was shared amongst all 3 of us and it was to die for I could’ve eaten it myself.

Overall, not a bad place to stumble upon. I ordered the spinach dip, which was bland and runny unfortunately. The Friends burger however, was delicious. The waitress/owner was friendly and attentive.

The place looked nice but the wait was too long even on a sunday.

Looks like this place could be fun. It was not when we went. Empty. The bartender justified it because of the time/day, but we came from and went to places that were busy in spite of that. I didn't even finish my beer.

Food is decent. Please know it's not a family-friendly place. Tons of dirty looks and comments towards my kids from the staff and the owner.

Not sure how to approach this review. We had a great experience inside with friendly employees and good food. Then our experience was ruined by a yelling older man and women who said they were the owners... My children were innocently playing on their grass area/property grounds that looked like an outdoor seating area/bar for patrons to use during summer time. Then we were abruptly approached by a man who came out yelling at us and then asking us what we were stealing and doing on the property. We explained we just finished eating. We’re not stealing anything my kids are just playing. He was extremely rude and his reaction was over the top and uncalled for. Had he communicated properly to us things wouldn’t have ended the way the did. Rather than yell at us the way he did, he could have spoken to us with kindness. I mean the place is called Friends, that experience was nothing but extremely unfriendly. We will not be back here again. My kids were so upset at how they acted.

My steak was raw they took it back served it to me again still very rare was told they were gonna get manager twice didn't happen didn't even get a box so I could cook it myself our app was the rice ball it was frozen in the center they took half the price off my steak dinner I left hungry and very upset
