Friendly's For Breakfast?

[HAK1031]

Thanks to the wonders of state standardized testing (lol never thought I'd say that!) upperclassmen don't have to be into school until 11 on Monday. So, my friends and I decided to go out for breakfast. I figured I'll end up getting some sort of egg dish, but does anyone have a clue what's safe at friendly's? Like the homefries or bacon or anything? The only list I could find was from a couple years ago, and they don't post info on their website.

The last time I was there, I went out or ice cream with my friends after Pride and Prejudice, and regardless of the fact that we (literally!) brought an entire cast and crew, they were pretty helpful- I wound up getting plain vanilla ice cream with m&ms to be safe, but they were good about the clean scoops, etc.

Thanks!!

I have never been there, but here is another post on the subject. Doesn't look promising. Sorry.

I read, recently, that most of the traditional sit down breakfast places, Friendy's included, add pancake batter to their eggs to make them fluffy.

My home-town has a friendly's and it's where "everyone" goes on Sunday morning. Thus far, I've avoided breakfasts there. I'm not sure I'd eat anything there, other than their ice cream. (And that would have to be plain!)

You could always TRY addressing the importance of your compliance with the person takng your order. But, then you risk loss of translation between the server and the cook, if the server even bothers to TELL the cook.

OK thanks. I think I might just get eggs (sunnyside up so they can't add anything) and fruit to make it easy.

I eat at Friendly's for breakfast a few times a month. I've never had a reaction but I'm not as sensitive as some on this site. I usually have omlettes, skip the toast.

IHOP definitely puts pancake batter in their omlettes but I'd never seen anything that generalizes that to "most" breakfast places.

I did ask at the local friendly's and was told they use plain eggs but that is something that could vary from location to location.

Thanks, that's good to know!

That's why you have to ask.....also wheat products are added to many foods at restaurants (example: wheat bread crumbs in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. to stretch it out).

Try to keep in mind that restaurants don't necessarily follow the same receipes that you would use at home. They use tricks to make scrambled eggs fluffier and stretch out foods with cheap fillers. Also, ask about the hash browns (they may come pre-made in a frozen package).
