Friends and Company Restaurant first opened its doors in October of 1980 under the ownership of Mac Walker and Richard Evarts. Located on Route 1 between the Madison and Guilford border, and alongside the picturesque East River, the restaurant has been serving up a varied menu using local ingredients for over thirty years. With an emphasis on freshly prepared, health conscious foods, Friends and Company has become locally famous for its daily baked breads, hearty soups, home-made desserts, colorful specials, and the boxes of seeds, nuts and raisins that accompany it salads. When Mac and Richard first gave the restaurant its name, they envisioned it being a place where friends and their company could gather together for a cold drink at the end of a summer day spent on the shoreline or for a warm dinner by the cozy fireplace on a snowy day in winter. Thirty years later those very same ideas of good food and friendly service are kept very much alive by the restaurant’s current owners and long-time employees, Gregory Benson and Brian Gondek.
