0 Stars I have never been so insulted before in my life!!!! I will never visit this establishment again! Friends Bar+Grill…. Don’t go! Every table around us that came in after us were served and were gone by the time we even received our order. (We waited 2 plus hours on our food) When we asked for the manager, he came out and didn’t apologize for anything instead he called the cops on us.

I absolutely love this place. I moved here a few months ago and of all the restaurant options in Valdosta, Friends is my favorite. The people, food and atmosphere are ✌🏼🫶👌🏼😊 I highly recommend, even for those with food allergies, they can satisfy even the pickiest eaters like me. Ha!

My husband & I stopped here for Sunday brunch. Got a seat around the bar within only a 20 minute wait & no reservation. Their menu is what attracted us, we look forward to returning for their regular menu. However, the brunch menu & special brunch menu did not disappoint. Neither did the drinks. The atmosphere was cool, the bartender & other staff were polite, friendly, & attentive. We started with the salmon toast & it was incredibly delicious. I am not someone who normally enjoys capers but they went so well with the salmon. My husband ordered the green bean casserole as his side, from the special menu, to an omelette (ate it up so quickly). I went with their Benny & a side of fruit. Those eggs were perfect!!! And the cheese on top was like icing on a cake (it was that good 🤤). We both enjoyed their cocktails! He stuck to his short tequila beverage. I tried their strawberry infused vodka martini & then their citrus cocktail - both so refreshing & delicious. We highly recommend & look forward to going back. Great service, great food & drinks! They have the recipe for success down!

We had a wonderful time at Friends. There was understandably a wait, but what good place won't. Michelle had the burger. It was juicy and very tasty and well presented. I had the pork chop. It too was prepared very well and presented really well. Not sure what the sauce on the chop was, but it was arromatic and a bit spicey. Loved it. The staff was friendly, and the server was attentive. Loved the place and will definitely be back.

When we arrived it took us no minutes to be seated very "friendly" Our waiter was  attentive and helpful with the menu. The appetizers were brought to us quickly. I had the red Argentinian  shrimp it was really good and perfect for the season it warms you up inside. He had the New Zealand  lamb  he loved them. VERY SPECIAL PLACE FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS!! FRIENDS really live up to their name for me👍🏽💯🥰 Although a live band and some table lamps would add to the atmosphere.

Amazing food, fantastic drinks and our service was great as well. The wait time was a little long, but they are very busy on weekends, so that speaks for itself. I got the a salad, the french dip eggrolls and a Taytini to drink! It was perfect for a girl's night out!

Great... everything! We drive 75 miles about once month (sometimes twice a month) to eat here. For 6 years...!! Enough said. But I'll give you more. Steaks have always been cooked to the right temp. We never have anything bad off the menu. We'd make the same drive just for their cocktails. We love Friends and bring friends and family all the time.

I came for lunch one day, expecting a really long wait since they were so busy. However, it only took 5 minutes to get seated. Our server was nice and attentive. The Cuban sandwich was great - it had lots of meat, and the mojo sauce that comes with it is a great dipping sauce.

Me & my best friend went here for for the first time for lunch. We loved the staff and how the restaurant was decorated! Some of the food was lacking seasonings but nothing a little salt couldn’t fix. We enjoyed the fried chicken and black eyed pea cakes. When we got the bill we were really shocked at the price. We will be back again!!!

Really enjoyed the ambience, food and service. I ordered something that I normally wouldn't and so glad I did cause it was DELUCIOUS!!! Please except to pay good $$$, this place ain't cheap! But I do believe it's worth it.

Went to friends for a nice dinner and drinks. Our server was very sweet and generous, but on the other hand, the manager on site was terrible. It was this blonde girl with really bad hair and she was a little stinky. Her attitude was awful and she did not discount our food which got extremely messed up. Serving staff 10/10, management staff 0/10.

I get that they were kind of busy, but our waitress hardly came to the table. And when she did two of us had drinks and wanted refills but she only took one of ours and didn't ask the other if they wanted one too. We've been there many times, but today we weren't happy with the food. My burger was over done and the bun was dry. We got the hash brown casserole and it was dry. Disappointed this time. Plus I would like to add that we always get the fried chicken and we want the ranch seasoning back!! We love it!!

We like to try local places when traveling and this one of the very few brunch spots we came across when searching. It definitely did not disappoint! The service and food was amazing. The weather was nice so we sat outside and our waitress was very helpful answering the questions we had about the menu. Two of us had the shrimp + grits and another ordered the breakfast standard + fried chicken on the side. Some of the best shrimp + grits I’ve ever had!

Everyone ordered and had a great time and good atmosphere. The orders came out and everything was great except one order that was completely wrong. That order went back and the waitress was amazing trying to make everything right. Everyone ended up finishing their orders before we got notified that the wrong order was going to be coming out soon. We asked for our checks and asked for it to be made to go. Like I said the waitress was amazing. But the manager walked up after we had already payed with the wrong order and just asked is this to go? And handed to us then walked off. I just blown away by his unprofeunprofessionalism and attitude. I expect more from management at a restaurant like this.

I. Love. Friends! This atmospheric bar and grill is a wonderful and inviting place to stroll into and just relax and feel at home. With great food and drinks and an even better team of hard working and funny staff members who are always at the ready for whatever you need, Friends is your modern day Cheers: everybody knows your name and keeps you coming back for more. If you’ve never been, come as you are, and enjoy this little slice of heaven!

This is gonna be my new breakfast/brunch restaurant whenever I'm visiting Valdosta Georgia. My family and I had fluffy Belgium waffles waffles and shrimp and grits and no one complained.. It was a wonderful meal and a wonderful atmosphere..

Came here for weekend brunch with my family, and we loved it! We were seated quickly, our waitress (Karen) was lovely, and the food was delicious! We especially loved the sweet potato biscuits. We will definitely be back!

So the good definitely out ways the bad. The only “bad thing” here is time. If you come here be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes for everything. Other then that 10/10 in my book. The restaurant itself is very beautiful. And every employee that I talk to her interacted with was very kind. All of the food that I tried was amazing, but nothing with beat the monk tacos. I also had their desserts and their alcohol. They were spectacular as well. Even their bathrooms were amazing and that’s a hard one to beat with me normally. Amazing pick would definitely recommend.
