Friendly's - Stanley

The workers were so nice and considerate!!! Best place I've been for a while! Food was good and service was awesome!

Fast, cheap, decent. For what this place is I think they do a great job. It's a inexpensive country diner with fast service. My wife and I stopped here on our way back from picking up our Christmas tree on a Sunday morning. The service was extremely fast and the food was decent. Was the food amazing? No, but my bill was $14 for both of us and that is amazing. I would definitely stop here again next time I'm in town

Breakfast is the only ok thing here. Tried lunch 3 times and it was not good at all. The waitress the last time was so sweet and apologized because the cooks had been messing up and cooking bad all day. She compensated our meal and done all she could to make up for the sub par food.

Place was packed so I thought that was a good sign. NOT! I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken with squash casserole, buttered corn and cornbread. The breast had been fried at least twice and was burned and dripping of grease. The wing portion when I pulled it apart bleed onto my place. The can was straight up from a can with no seasoning whatsoever. The Sahara Desert has more moisture in it than the slab of cold cornbread that was thrown on my plate. BUT the squash casserole was edible so I will give them a star for that and the waitress never let my tea glass get empty. Don't think I will be going back anytime soon.

The service here is always great, the employees are always friendly (no pun intended). The ambience is a small town, country vibe; it's in a log cabin, cmon! I'll say the window air conditioning units are a bit of an eye sore, but if your back is to them then you won't even notice their presence. Now, let's talk about the food. The country style steak hits (almost) like your grandma's kitchen. The grilled chicken salads (chicken salad, too) are top notch. The crinkle fries could stand to be a bit crispier, but if you smother them in the homemade ranch or a Mayo/ketchup blend then they'll get the job done. If you want dessert, try the peach cobbler, it's never failed me. Now for the sad part...the green beans...oh man, they were the bane of my affliction today. Imagine Aunt Shirley smoking a Virgina slim and not being able to find her ash tray so she just puts out her cig in the pot of beans that have been simmering for hours (possibly days based on the texture). The taste from those green beans couldn't be washed away by water alone, thankfully they offer the wonderfully, delicious Tony's Ice-cream and that my friends, was able to wash the taste of potting soil flavored beans right off my agitated palate.
