Friendly's551

True to its name, Friendly's is a great place to catch a bite with the kids. The restaurant caters to families with a hankering for burgers, fries, and dairy delights. Based in Massachusetts, Friendly's has made its name by serving up simple fare and wicked good Fribbles® (think milk shake!).

Kids will dig the children's menu that offers grilled cheese, burgers, hot dogs, mac n' cheese, as well as healthy side options like mixed vegetables, broccoli, and applesauce. The meals, which include a drink and dessert, start at $4.79. Speaking of dessert, kids can choose from an array of sundaes brimming with cookies, sprinkles, candies, and more. Think of those rainy afternoons when a sundae would be just the thing to brighten a gloomy Gus or two.

Kid-friendly touches include a separate menu in the shape of a triangle, which is divided into choices for kids who are "hungry" and bigger meals for those who are "really hungry." There are also activity books and crayons, covered drinks with color-changing straws, and - you guessed it - delicious ice cream treats!
