Mr. Friendly's New Southern Cafe

The staff was very nice and friendly. Definitely felt welcomed. I tried the chocolate cherry old fashioned and thought it was quite tasty. I tried the meatloaf entre and it was very delicious. Very flavorful after every bite. They have an outside patio. Plenty of room. I would come again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1. Outstanding Lunch Experience: Mr. Friendly’s continues to impress with its welcoming Southern charm and exceptional flavors. 2. Delicious Salad Choice: My “Almost Fall” salad with chicken was fresh, colorful, and perfectly balanced — light but satisfying, with great seasonal touches. 3. Spectacular Entrée: My wife’s trout was beautifully cooked and paired wonderfully with the Creole slaw and ABC grits — a true Southern standout. 4. Warm, Attentive Service: The staff was friendly and efficient, making the meal relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. 5. Highly Recommended: Whether for a casual lunch or a special meal, Mr. Friendly’s remains one of the best dining spots around. We’ll definitely be back!

This had been our favorite special occasion restaurant for twenty years. Tonight's experience was less enjoyable. Still a beautiful place but parking stinks and the waiting area is non-existent. We were seated in the bar area which was crammed alongside loud drinkers. Service was decent but not to its prior standard. Prices are up and too high. App Special spinach-ham dip- Spectacular, just needed an extra couple toasts. Shrimp and Grits- Creole sauce weak, grits thin and underseasoned. Shrimp were plentiful and very good Trout- Good and large size but one ingredient was bitter, greens average. Sweet Tea- Just average, used to be great.

Awesome southern-style food in an excellent atmosphere. The service is impeccable, always. The food is not of the cheapest kind but the quality of the cooking makes it well worth it. Reservations highly advised because it can be quite busy. Recommended!

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast, perfectly cooked and seasoned with tasty mashed taters and Tasso ham gravy. White Chocolate-Blueberry Cheesecake , very tasty but small portions. The portions on both the meal and cheesecake could be a little more to accommodate the high price. The greens were pretty decent as well. Don’t forget to try the ginger beer/soda
