The menu features fresh-ground steakburgers, hand-cut steaks, homemade dressings and sauces. The chicken is all white meat and cut in house. And we only use fresh, premium brand chicken wings. Our menu offers quality choices, such as burgers, sandwiches, steaks, shrimp, chicken, quesadillas, pasta and salads. Some of the most popular food items are “Bada Bang Shrimp”, “PB&J; Burger”, “Bayou Chicken Tenders”, “Loaded French Dip” and “Cajun Chicken Pasta”.
We have a full bar serving liquor, beer and wine. And you will find craft beers on draft as well as most popular brands. Our bars also offer Keno games for your entertainment. Contributing to the community and providing a helping hand to others when we are able to do so is part of our fiber. Friends holds an annual charity event named “Ansley’s Easter”. Ansley Arnette was a young girl that suffered from a rare, non-curable brain tumor, and our first fundraiser was held to help her family with medical bills. Ansley has since passed away, but her memory and spirit carries on every year at Friends on Easter Sunday.
Our goal is to grow as an independent, locally owned restaurant that supports our community and our employees. Join our team and we will help you implement our proven systems to guide you to success!
