Applebee's Grill & Bar

We've gone several time to Friends Grille & Bar. While it's nothing too special, offering the basic barfood and ambiance, it is very clean and nicely decorated. It's a good place to grab a table, appetizer, and catch up with your friends. There is ample parking and the bartenders and wait staff are friendly and attentive. The prices are average. more

Friends shares a kitchen with the Italian restaurant Dolce Carini next door. Therefore the same food is available at both locations. The main differences are that the atmosphere at Friends is more casual and food is less expensive. Although there is a bar area in the middle of Friends, the atmosphere is not overly noisy or full of smoke. There are televisions tuned to ESPN or the major networks throughout the place. As a bar there are drinks and appetizer specials, but this is not a bad place for the whole family. Service is decent but sometimes they appear understaffed on busy nights. The food is generally very good overall. Portions are fairly large and fresh. If you like Bruschetta, theirs is among the best I've ever had. more
