Friendly's reminds me of Denny's or IHOP. A place to get quick road food.

I only went to TGI Friday's a couple of times. I didn't care for it. I
think the difference there was the alcohol. Farrell's didn't have that. I
remember taking a Southern coworker in there and he ordered some kind of ice
cream with beer in it. The waitress questioned him and asked him if he
wanted root beer. Then he said, no. It was beer. And didn't they have it?
I can't remember now what it was. I don't think it was a float but it might
have been. He said it was very common in the South and we thought he was
pulling our leg. Anyway... Too many sloppy drunks in TGI Friday's for my
taste.
