My wife and I ate there this summer. We had searched all of Morganton in search of good food the week We were there. We had almost gave up. We went inside and found great service, great food,and overall A GREAT PLACE TO EAT. Our waitress was very attentive, in fact our bill was only 35.00 dollars and we tipped 10.00
Our Thanks to everybody at Friday Friends in Morganton.
Also a great view of the river from the tables inside as well as on the deck......If you plan on taking a trip to Morganton.....EAT AT Friday Friends Restaurant.

Stopped in for dinner on the way home to Hickory from a trip to Biltmore Estate. The food is supurb and the selection is good also. Our wait person was very friendly and helpful. This is a wonderful place to have good home cooked food!

This place is great! We found it by accident and have been back like four times, even though it's over an hour drive from our house. The Coconut (HOMEMADE) Custard Pie is heaven! I will be driving there on Christmas Eve just to buy one and have dinne ...

I love the breakfast and the food is great, but the woman that seats you at the door lacks a lot . I have left several times because she would be laughing and talking with the other emp. and leave the people waiting to eat standing. I left again this ...

I recently discovered this little gem a couple of weeks ago. I have drove by it a hundred times, but decided to stop in and give it a shot. This is hands down the best restaurant in this area! The wait staff is excellent even when the place is packed. They offer outdoor dining on a patio overlooking the river. The food is divine, and the variety is great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting great food in a great atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the cake divine. My wait staff was nice and prompt. My husband and I went for a 2 year anniversary dinner while traveling from our vacation spot. It was a lot of fun, if not entirely romantic, but eating outside might have been. I would stop there again in a heartbeat if we are ever in the area again.

We have visited this restaurant on several occasions. Each time we found the food to be very good and the waitstaff to be very proficient in their duties. Last night, we had excellent service from a young man named "Daniel". Above all, the riverfront dining both inside and out makes for an awesome dining experience with friends or a quiet, romantic dinner for just two.

I don't know what the other reviewer was reviewing, but it obviously was not Friday Friends. I have eaten here at least weekly, if not more since it opened. This is one of the best run restaurants in Morganton, if not the best. The menu is varied to suit many tastes and diets, the food is great, the ambience encourages getting together with your friends and the staff is well trained and friendly. For your money and time, you will find no better place to dine in the area.
