Though The Friendly Plaice receives food praises, some diners express concerns about wait times during peak hours, particularly on busy weekends and Friday evenings. A few customers have mentioned occasional inconsistencies in the cooking times, receiving food that varies from perfect to slightly overdone. While the atmosphere is casual and inviting, it can become quite crowded during the dinner rush, resulting in a hectic experience for some. A handful of patrons have pointed out the absence of certain menu items during busy periods, leaving them disappointed.
