Friendly's is an ok restaurant, some good food and some under par. Usually the watress or waiter is young and forgets about your table. Also its usually crowded with kids and crammed like sardines.
I visited with some friends. I ordered a chicken club sandwich. The non breaded one because they have strips for the breaded, a cheap sub... My sandwich came unassembled and had to put it together. When I was done there was a side of about 8-10 fries how cheap. The sandwich was ok... no butter on the bread and no extra crap like some rest. put on for extra---fat flavor. The chicken was a good portion but should have added another handful of fries.
Girl ordered the chicken casadia which was fairly large and snagged a few which was good.
Other guy ordered burger and fries, same smeal had to put together and fries they are lackin. Other girl also complained about fries. And did not mention anything bad, but did not say it was good. I forgot what she ate.
I had to wait until the watress gave the check to get a second drink. Fail.
The Restaurant gets a C+.
Atmosphere is bad dark and gloomy mint colored walls.
Waitress should be taught to check table in mid eating.
Overall a bad experience
unless you eat out alot and want cheap but small portions of food.

Chun Bo "Chinese restaurant" Newton, NJ
I would like to tell you about a great chinese restaurant named Chun Bo.
Great looking building right on spring street in newton.
The staff are very friendly and they already have hot tea there on your order...
Hint Hint that is the sign of an old fashion chinese restaurant that is usually good.
I ordered the chicken and cashew combination
Girl ordered the General Tao's chicken combination.
I also ordered the sushi.
I like sushi but it has to be fresh. Had ones that smell and taste like fish... Not fresh!!
This sushi "and I had 5 orders before" from this place is fresh and very good. I even like the eel.
The Fresh sushi melts in your mouth and no smell at all. Girl had a taste, she never tried sushi and she liked it.
The combination plate comes with soup, egg roll and dessert. For 11.00 or so. Affordable and filling.
My chicken was juicy and the fried rice was very good. I like to see the egg in the fried rice. Very filling and portion size is good. Girl's gen. tao looked good also except she finished it all before I could grab any. The chicken portions were large and you can see the chicken in the tao. With some restaurants you can't.
Dessert was a choice of ice cream or fruit, Chose the ice cream. Was about an extra large scoup in a ice cream dish. Great to end the meal not so much, just enough.
Did doggie bag the egg roll for later.
Service and atmosphere is excellent.
I rate this restaurant an A
I do come back often and do recommend to friends.
So give it a chance if you are in the area of Newton NJ
And you can skip the eel if you want, more for me.

Red Lobster visit 08-2012
Thank you for the anonymous donation for a visit for red Lobster!!!
Girl and I Like Red Lobster because they are friendly and give you all the chedder biscuits you can eat.
Girl and I ordered the all you can eat shrimp dish, Awesome get your money's worth out of that.
I first ordered the parmesan crusted shrimp, bad choice too crunchy and bad taste, then ordered the fried and garlic butter after that both were great and finished about 100 or more shrimp, the garlic butter was my fav. although did not taste the garlic but very good.
Girl ordered teriyaki skewered shrimp and rice which the rice was good but "chinese food" Red Lobster is not, the shrimp was overcooked and dry, She ordered more of the fried and some garlic shrimp which she agreed was good.
She finished about 60 or so shrimp then ordered the one with pasta for the finallie.
I think Red lobster goes out of business with this deal but they probably get the shrimp for 2 cents per pound.
I rate the restaurant a B+ would go back and would tell a friend.
Service was good and food 3 out of the 5 choices of shrimp were good.
grab all you can eat......

International House of Pancakes Ihop visit 08-2012
What could possibly go wrong at Ihop?
Well my story starts out when girl and I visited early to beat the rush of people going there on a sunday morning. It was 7 in the morning. Quite early for me. I ordered the smokehouse pancakes and girl ordered 2 pancakes 2 eggs hashbrowns.
Girl got her order and I got the breakfast sampler? I said this is not what I ordered? And the waitress came back and said she made the mistake and wrote down the wrong item. I did not get my order until girl was almost finished with hers. I asked to doggie bag mine. They had asked for something they could do to make it up to me. I suggested they had a picture frame for sale due to renovations for 10 dollars I asked if I could have that. They countered with 8 dollars and I said no, what crap. Literally, I got home and powered that out twice they must have exlaxed it, I threw my doggie bag out for fear of a repeat offence.
I at least was glad to go there with a coupon and got one meal free.

Outback Steakhouse visit 8-2012
Unfortunately not all outbacks are alike.
I had a pleasant experience in PA with a very good and fresh meal back when they opened 10 years back.
So they opened one in NJ I went with girl.
I ordered stack of ribs and girl ordered a burger.
Again no complaints by girl her burger was and looked good.
My ribs were missing the meat and were very dry stuck to the bone. Discusting and was hungry after tweezing the twigs out.
Also ordered the bloomin onion, that was a different story their signature dish was not cooked and very greesy. I bet that bloomin onion is more cal. than you eat in one day. gross I will never eat there again.
Stick to a better steakhouse which probably is in tenn or texas and not in Jersey.
Update I received an anonymous donation to go back there and try it again...
We'll see what happens should I order the same meals or order something different.
I'll ask reccomendations from the manager of the restaurant that would be best.

McDonalds 08-2012 visit
Here is a simple review about a Mcdonald's visit I had encountered.
I ordered a crispy chicken meal and girl ordered a bigmac meal.
Suprisingly the fries were fresh and not dry like always and girl had no complaints on her big mac.
A happy camper. I ordered a ranch blt crispy chicken which was good until nearly the last bite I had encountered something hard when I bit down. Some kind of cartilage piece that was not cut off when it was created. It popped and hot creamy liquid oozed out to creat me to gag. I since complained about this and hopefully you never have a similar experience.
Stick to wendy's for a chicken sandwich at least you might not bite into a booger.
Update they want to replace the sandwich and said they were sorry.
2nd update the manager said they heard this all the time and sent me on my way with no sandwich while I demanded them to look on something because there was suppose to be some list with my name on it "the golden ticket if you will" and receive the free replacement sandwich. No was looked as if I was an ass and left the restaurant in disbelief. Stating "you'll get another complaint about this".
3rd update
I received my replacement sandwich and was good enough for them, but not for me they should treat their customers with some respect and not like a jerk when something goes wrong.
