Friendly's Ice Cream Shop, Augusta

I should have learned my lesson many visits ago to never return to this place, but I always hold out hope that service may improve. Tonight s visit started off with it taking way too long to be seated in a half-empty restaurant. Then as we waited for our server, we had to endure the loud manager yapping with a friend of his at a nearby booth. After waiting for several minutes for our AWOL server, I took a look at the dirty floor, the run-down seating, and said forget it. As we left, the manager was yapping yet again with his co-workers around the front register. They looked like slack-jawed yokels as they asked if everything were ok. He should do less talking, and more managing. I m surprised the dump is still open as of June, 17, 2012.

Friendly's is pretty good. Chicken baskets are good and service is decent. I'll go back again...
