I didn't know there were any Friendy's left. It looked like they all disappeared 5 years ago in this area.

I’m in the Lehigh Valley, and we have 2 Friendly’s around here.

I’d love to see a list of big name businesses that went down the tubes during the Kenyan’s short 3 year reign.

We still have two in the area but they are not worth patronizing.
They are both poorly run and dirty. and the food quality is jusy awful.
It’s a shame, because they used to be sooo good.

Is the one out by the mall still open? That and the one on Lehigh Street were the only ones I know of around here and the Lehigh Street one has been closed for a while.

Friendly’s made watermelon sherbet. I don’t like fast food places. But this one thing says WOW. If you ever tasted their watermelon sherbet, it tastes just like real watermelon!!!
To: Dr. Scarpetta
One problem is that Friendly’s has no healthy items on their menu. If I’m on the road, I like to get something that has at least a decent side of vegetables, so Friendly’s is off my list. Even McDonald’s has healthy options these days, so i’m surprised Friendly’s stayed so narrowly focused.

The Friendly’s in my area are fine. It’s a good place to take little kids because the place is full of families. Nobody notices if little ones talk out loud.

Me too - they used to be a staple of my diet when one was plunked 1/2 way between my high school and my parents' house.
Although the one thing that always annoyed me was how they seemed geared to an older, slower time. One when people would be willing to sit around for an hour (or more) and take their time while eating. This was the case with EVERY Friendly's I've eaten in since those high school days. A friend of mine and I went up to Gettysburg last Spring and even had lunch at the one on Emmitsburg Pike ... and we joked about how Cracker Barrel has faster service (which is saying a LOT).

There is one in Palmer Twp. (Easton) and one by Airport Rd. I think the one by the LV Mall is still open.
