The Friendly Tavern - Traditional American restaurant in Coloma - 206 N Paw Paw St, USA

Our waitress was great! Recommended the French onion soup which was scrumptious! Got the bang bang shrimp to start and it was delicious! Followed up with salads which were generous portions. Had to get a take home box. The tavern is beautiful inside. No loud music. Great atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Everything was fantastic from the food to the service. Social distancing was in place with seating at every other booth. The food was just as expected and the bartender/server girl was the only one working and was busy, but excellent service and a fantastic attitude. So friendly you would never notice how busy she was. Brought everything out perfectly and checked back on us a few times. Didn’t get her name, but she was blonde with tattoos. Would definitely go back just for the awesome service we received.

This is one of our favorite places to go after we visit the Loma theater. They have great food (fried dill pickles with jalapeño ranch and sweet potato fries with a honey cinnamon-like butter are highly recommended) and the service has always been spot on. Being that it is a tavern we always know their burgers are going to be good, but I've been highly impressed with the fact that my daughter enjoys their tender flaky honey glazed salmon.

We were there for a family gathering. 15 of us. Appetizers were good. I ordered the special of the day. Eggplant Lasagna. It was so delicious and a large portion. All the food came out at the same time. Thumbs up on that! Great service. Delicious food.

Food for 2 people took almost an hour, restaurant was not very busy. Ordered a steak medium rare, came out closer to "blue rare." Ate it anyways because didn't feel like waiting any longer, though the waitress offered to take it back. Not a good cut of meat either, certainly not worth the $27. Salad was okay. Wife's Cajun burger didn't have any flavor at all, let alone Cajun flavor. Fries were cold. We've tried this place a few times because it's close to home but we don't have plans on going back.

I had not been there for a few years and back then the onion rings were the very best but too slow to arrive. This day I had the Reuben Sandwich and it is as good or better than many. But the sandwich was take out and not eat in so I cannot say about service.

Quite unassuming but don't overlook it for dinner (or probably lunch)! Friendly's was build as a pharmacy/ice cream/soda fountain and it still has much of the original woodwork and lighting and looks to still have the original the bar and wall behind the barkeep. We came here for dinner, and that's what we found that most do when they come to this "tavern".... Eat... And it's great food! My Italian beef was great and the portion was huge... Hubby's pulled pork bbq was also delicious! So glad we went! Food, service, staff and atmosphere were wonderful!

Nothing bad to say service was extremely good, food was awsome, and they seem to have most of what you might be feeling to eat.. I had the super nachos a day they were great! The onion rings are like being at the fair!!! Can't beat that!
