Group of five. Server got the orders wrong, took ages for the food and then we had to ask for the bill so we could leave.

This is a typical Friendly"s chain restaurant. Nothing special but a place to eat if you are hungry. Not my first choice but for a chain it is eatable..

Having grown up in Lenox, this Friendlys in Lee has for many years been a favorite of our family over three generations. We now live in Virginia but nearly every time we are in the Berkshires we stop at this Friendlys. It has always been a good experience and this recent visit in July was no exception. The sandwiches and... More

back to CT from MA we stopped at Friendlys in Lee. The staff was courteous, the place was clean, the food was very good and affordable. Of course, the ice cream is delicious. We had a great dinner and relaxing time there to continue our drive. I recommend this place to stop, eat, and go your merry way.

I have always liked Friendly's English muffins because they are grilled in butter and with a lot of butter served on top. Their coffee is reliably good. The cups with the coffee mug designs are a nice upgrade. The waitress was pleasant. My husband and I both got good food at a reasonable price.

This Friendly's is located on Route 20 near Lee's downtown Main St. It looks like it's an older restaurant, as if it may be one of the originals. The seating is claustrophobic as the kitchen has been set up in the middle of the dining area and is sectioned off with cubicle like dividers. We decided to sit at the... More

Finding an affordable, family-friendly place to eat on a summer Sunday evening in this area is no easy feat. We tried several places, but they all had 1/2 hour waits which wasn't appealing with a toddler in tow. So, we settled for Friendly's. We visit our local branch on occasion, so knew what to expect. However, the place was dirty,... More

The food and service is good. The bathroom and place needs to be cleaned. The bathroom was VERY dirty the last time we went. The kids do love the food and the ice cream!!
