This place never disappoints, my sister and I came here for lunch and I got the turkey burger and she got the buttermilk chicken sandwich and everything came out great. Our waiter was very nice and the manager was very friendly. read more

See all

The service is good , but how you serve soggy bacon, and my food was cold, they have no jelly or jam for the toast .... 38 for eggs and homefries it's a rip off... read more

The celiac's dream. Great food that's celiac safe, and no objection from my non-celiac friends and family. I go to one of Friedman's locations at least a couple times a month. read more

We had a nice lunch outdoors, under cover, and felt safe during Covid. The food was good, nothing special, and service was attentive. Brunch entrees included French Toast with bacon, Falafel, and chicken sandwich. All were tasty. All in all, a pleasant dining experience. read more

The food was so disgusting I couldn't finish eating. The waiter was rude the whole time while I was trying to order. One of the worst restaurants I have ever eaten at. read more

I want to like this place because it's in the area and we need a good spot for casual dining. But the pancakes were totally tasteless without the maple syrup. Honestly very lame pancakes. Hopefully the other food is good as I'll be back I have three stars because it's kinda nice inside, clean, service is good etc. but please step up your pancake game . It's not that hard, I make ten times better ones from home ! Thanks read more

I got food poisoning from my order of fried chicken,waffles and a piece of cake on Oct 22- I called the following day and the manager Jessie was very understanding but never refunded my money. I was sick all night- I can't see myself ordering from here again. read more

UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE - the dining room is being renovated and they are using the bagel store next door for dining. It was hot and uncomfortable and I ended up ordering my food to go and eating at my desk. Not the relaxing, end of week treat I was anticipating. If you have a website, you owe it to your customers to keep them informed of major issues / updates to your restaurant. The food was good, but, I did not need to spend $30 to eat in front of my computer and I did not have time to find someplace else. read more

Lovely service and nice ambience. Food was mediocre - benedict lacked seasoning and falafel was dry. Salmon salad was tasty but nothing to go back for. read more

Just paid $25 (including tax/tip) for the worst salad of my life. The Cobb salad tasted like a packaged salad from the grocery store 3-4 days old. The hard-boiled eggs were partially frozen, the bacon was dry and had a processed taste. Lettuce was bottom of the barrel quality and flavorless. Chicken also tasted packaged. Highly disappointing and I will not be returning. read more

Excellent much needed addition to the neighborhood. Food is lovely my dad was raving about his chicken quinoa dish and i loved my veggie burger with a surprisingly tasty gluten free bun (i'm GF) fired were nice too. Outdoor heated seating. Going back for the second time this week this afternoon. Would recommend a lunch special menu to drive daytime traffic read more

First trip to Friedman's when it was really busy. I understand there might be a labor shortage, but the service was terrible. After we ordered, the food didn't arrive for over 30 minutes, and only then when I asked the busser to flag down our server (who hadn't bothered to check on us since taking our order). She dropped one of our three entrees, and said "the food is coming out now," and left. The next two entrees didn't arrive for another 10 minutes. It was pretty evident that someone had forgotten about us as the food had been hastily made, and not good. Even the Mac & Cheese, which we usually like, was dried out on the top and soupy at the bottom. We won't be returning. read more

Love the food and staff here. I'm a new neighbor and this spot is great for breakfast lunch and dinner. Salmon and grilled cheese and burger are sooo goood. Ready to try more on the menu! read more

Their Chinese restaurant, La Salle Dumpling Room, is AMAZING. The original one is near Columbia university and super popular with students. Lots of Chinese go there and say how authentic it is. It's a bit confusing that part of this restaurant is a different Chinese restaurant, but they have amazing dumplings, noodles and beef dishes. My mom is from Shanghai and recommends it a lot! read more

Their Service, food and atmosphere- I loved all! I ate Pastrami Ruben- yummy, huge portion and yuca fries - these fries are a bit greasy but taste so good with a lot of garlic. I'll definitely come back. read more

This place rocks. So nice to have a spot that does everything gluten free! In addition, everyone who works there is super nice and welcoming. read more

This spot is so clean and staff is super friendly! I pick this place when I'm meeting up with someone to catch up. I have never been rushed to leave even after I've finished eating. read more

I ordered a turkey sandwich on rye bread with Russian dressing. It seems like that would be an easy order to fill. I had to repeat the order at least three times. I received turkey on rye TOAST with bacon and...some foreign object in my sandwich. Disgusting. read more

Friedman's - a toothbrush on the ground - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Food is decent. But I had a weird experience at lunch once. I came with my parents on a Thursday for lunch. They were pretty crowded and had a lot of large groups for a Thursday between 12pm-1pm. The only table left was their 6-seat booth. They offered it to us because they didn't want to keep us waiting longer. We had probably been waiting almost ten minutes. But there were conditions: if another table left before our food came out, then we have to move to the smaller table. I did not ask for the 6-seat table, they offered and they're putting conditions on it. I also didn't do anything to prompt this offer, such as "how much longer is the wait?" My party did have to move tables during our visit. The staff didn't even clean the smaller booth properly. They pushed the crumbs on the table onto the benches and I had to push those bench crumbs away myself. And no large party arrived after us to occupy that 6-seat booth. I get that the staff want to maximize the table settings, but I can't help feel but inconvenienced. They made me feel like they were doing me a favor when I didn't ask for the big table to begin with. There was also a woman sitting by herself at a four seat table and waiting a while (at least ten minutes from when I arrived to when I was seated at the large booth) for the rest of her party to show up. Maybe they shouldn't seat groups who haven't arrived in their entirety yet. read more

One of the best burgers I had in awhile. Very solid & the pickle was great! Recommend highly!

Such a great local spot. One of the best turkey burgers in town and staff is always friendly. There isn't too much this far west so nice to have a place you can count on in the neighborhood. Other favorites are the Brussels sprouts and Cobb salad. All delicious!! read more

i loved their herb fries but then they changed them and now they're just super soggy & barely seasoned. I miss the old ones

Definitely don't come here. Expect an exaggerated wait based on who they choose to serve first and who they don't want to serve. Should've known yo avoid this place after I saw an angry customer leave after waiting over 1 hour for water. The food is grossly overpriced for the wait and over salted pork. Not worth the visit even if you live in the neighborhood. The best bet is to let this place go under and wait for a new owner who is grateful for the customers and business. AVOID at all costs. read more

So glad to see this in our neighborhood. A desperately needed addition! Great menu, fantastic food, amazing service! Sweet potato fries are UNBELIEVABLE btw. Support this business and keep it around!!! read more

Despite greatly reduced seating capacity, the staff managed to ignore my table for over 20 minutes, not even taking my order... but managed to get the order of a table seated after and right behind me. I'm sure it wasn't because of race or anything like that. read more

Friedman's West is simply fabulous. I can see the charm and the reason that so many like Friedman's West. Every single thing I've tried so far has been amazing. Bonus that their service is so awesome, they are so swift and helpful. Overall, I 'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Service is good, but food has always been mediocre at these locations (chain). The shakshuka tomatoes and peppers were good and the bread was generous. The eggs, however, were burnt and had grayish black spots, inedible to me, but my husband ate them. This is fine if there's no other option, but wouldn't really choose to come back. read more

Zero star would be more appropriate. Waiters are dumb and clueless. Had us wait 40 minutes before telling us that he somehow "forgot" to put our order in. Idiot. read more

Ugh! Wanted good deli, but this wasn't it. Matzo Ball soup was okay. Pastrami sandwich was inedible. Bread was soggy, meat was very fatty, fries were limp. The only thing that was good about this order was the delivery. read more

As a whole, this place is AVERAGE. When I came thats what screamed at me. The food is okay, and the service is fine. The sandwiches and salads are fine. Best dish was the cuban sandwich. I would only come back because it's close, quick, and easy. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Completely unacceptable treatment of customers, from staff and the owner. Owner is arrogant and seems to think that customers are below him. And you know what they say...fish rots from the head. I called Friedman's West Sunday (11/7/21) morning to put in a brunch order for pickup. Someone picked up the phone but never said anything -- and after listening to background noise for a while they hung up. Thinking this was unintentional, I called back and this time someone picked up and seemingly just set the phone down without saying anything. I waited again, just listening to background noise. The third time I called, the same thing happened. The fourth time I called, no one picked up. Since I live just a block away, I decided to walk over and see what was going on, and put my order in in person. A guy was at the register, and I explain to him first the annoying experience I had just had on the phone. He then admits that they were not taking any orders since they were busy and were intentionally leaving customers hanging on the phone. Without apologizing he asks me what I needed. I said, well first you could apologize for wasting my time and second you could stop doing that by turning on an auto message saying you're not taking orders, or maybe just pick up the phone and tell the customer you're not taking orders. He said "sorry about that but we're really busy", as if busy justified what they were doing. I then decided to not put in the order, so I left to run a quick errand. I passed by Friedman's on the way back and decided that I should tell the manager/owner about my experience, since I want the place to succeed and handling calls/customers like that isn't a way to success. I told the guy that I spoke to originally that I wanted to speak to the owner. He said I should call the restaurant not on the weekend (implying that the owner wasn't there). As he was saying this, another employee walked up and asked me what the problem was and I said I wanted to speak to the owner -- and she said wait right here and I'll get him (now I'm more annoyed at the evasive employee). After a couple of minutes, a woman approaches me and says she's the manager and asks if I need help. I tell her what happened with the calls and she just gives me a blank look like "what am I supposed to do about that". Looking totally defeated, she just said sorry and walked away without properly ending the conversation. I then ask the other staff member who said she'd get the owner if he was coming and she said yes. The owner then came out and with a very smug look on this face said they were doing the best that they could given how busy they were. He didn't seem at all dismayed by how they were mistreating customers by intentionally leaving them hanging on the phone. To the contrary, he was very dismissive, as if I wasn't worthy of his valuable time. I saw that it was a lost cause and left. read more

Came here today for the first time. Cute place with a great atmosphere. Jessy, I think the manger there, was super sweet and accommodating.

Sat down in out door dining with subway sandwich since there was no business , I'll admit while it was wrong of me to do, I was very respectful and conscious of the space. Soon after a waitress came up to us and ask if we wanted anything. And the gentleman that I am and instead of being a douche, I took her up on offer and ordered 2 lemonades. One for me and my significant other. And upon requesting the order, I felt that there was much attitude that was very unfair to us as we became official costumers of this establishment. After we received our order not even 10 minutes later did she ask us in the most impolite way if we were just "hanging around" as if we where delinquents loitering around this establishment. Also I would like to comment as an avid lemonade drinker, even a connoisseur to some, that first and foremost the ice to lemonade proportion was not balanced in the slightest. lastly the manner at which It was handed to us was most definitely not friendly, And from the attitude that was observed, most definitely not made "with love". I am horrified with this experience and am truly saddened that me and my spouse had to go through such disrespectful treatment. I will be taking my business else where and hope that this matter can be taken care of hastily. PS. this lemonade Tasted as if it was taken from a minute made lemonade bottle. read more
