Never order food that wears a skirt.

I remember eating at Friendly’s as a child.

It wasn’t haute cuisine but the sandwiches were halfway decent and every meal ended with an ice cream sundae so no one really cared.

The other day when my friend and I were out shopping, it was literally the only place around so we stopped in for lunch.

I vaguely remembered their Big Beef being a sizable burger and decided to take a trip down memory lane.

That was a big mistake.

What the holy hell!

At first I thought they’d fried an egg on my burger but that was cheese.

A cheese ‘skirt’ to be precise. And though you’d think it would be hard to go wrong with half a plate full of cheese… they managed, because it was awful. Greasy on top, hard as rock on the bottom.

And the Big Beef?

The only thing Big was my disappointment because the Beef was practically non existent… not to mention well done and crunchy.

The waiter at this restaurant may have been friendly, but the food certainly wasn’t.

      1. Nothing is what it used to be. It’s a shame, they opened in 1935 and were an institution in the northeast. They filed for bankruptcy a few years ago and closed 80% of the restaurants… which after eating at this one, I’d say is probably a good thing.

  5. OMG.One of the highlights of visiting my grandparents in Massachusetts was going to Friendly’s – I always had their fried clams and a chocolate milkshake. Nowadays I’d be on the pot for days but kids have iron stomachs.

      2. Don’t remember that one so apparently I hadn’t entered your delightfully quirky orbit at that point.
        And while I love my cheese as much as the next girl, I’m going to feed all future skirts to you. No phantom bear sightings required.

  10. Friendly’s used to make my favorite burger in the world. It was also the most unhealthy burger on the market at the time. It was called the grilled cheese burger. Doesn’t sound all that special, right? Hold on. The buns were actual grilled cheese sandwiches! That’s right! Two full on grilled cheese sandwiches wrapped around a big beef patty. My friend and I used to get them and we further modified them by having them put an extra slice of cheese on the meat and adding bacon! Being in our older years and trying to watch what we ate, we vowed only to have one only four times out of the year. Alas, they no longer make this gut buster anymore.
