Friendly's

New England-based chain serves affordable diner food and ice cream treats in a homey, family-friendly atmosphere.

Shouldn't it be taken off the listings since its been shuttered since the summer? We only went once and the experience was enough to make us never return. The food was poorly cooked, service slow, and even the trademark desserts were just badly done.
