A chain restaurant known for its ice cream, as is Howard Johnson's. They do serve actual food as well, but let's face it, nobody goes to Taco Bell for the ice cream and nobody (except jarbabyj) goes to Friendly's for their quesadillas.

The Friendly Ice Cream Corporation is based in Massachusetts, where in 1935 the first Friendly's opened as an "ice cream shoppe". Their flavors now include Forbidden Chocolate and Vienna Mocha Chunk, but they still carry classics like vanilla, rocky road and mint chocolate chip.
