Overall, I had a very pleasant experience having brunch with my Mother at The Friendly Toast. The waiter was very knowledgeable and nice and once we ordered, the food was very quick to leave the kitchen and come to our table. I had an omelette with almost every vegetable imaginable and my Mother had a scramble with several veggies as well. The coffee was hot and had good flavor and the bread was extremely fresh. It was a bit loud inside with the music blaring, and we could hardly hear each other, so the only recommendation I would have would be to maybe turn the volume down so we could enjoy our conversation better and not have to yell over the music. I would definitely return to try more selections on the menu, and would definitely recommend it to someone who had never been before. read more

Tried this place about a handful of times now. Staff is super friendly and very attentive. In true FT fashion, they have some quirky drink items (ie pickle beer - dont knock it until youve tried it. It actually wasnt bad.) . Food is decent. Not overcooked or too greasy. The only thing i didnt like from one of my visits was their maple syrup. It had an overwhelming taste of vanilla in it. Overpowered my french toast read more

SO GOOD! I've never had a bad meal here. The pancakes are huge and very good. The potatoes are well seasoned. The menu is huge with a ton to choose from for picky eater. Our server was quick, kept our coffee filled up, and very nice. The inside has fun decor but can get a little loud at times. 10/10 recommend. read more

the churros were like little donuts, not too sweet, just right and nice and warm. we are on a mission to try avocado toast from different restaurants. was not a huge fan of this one, the cheese was a bit overwhelming. wasnt happy with the waffle fries either, they were really hard like we were eating crackers. read more

Disappointing- pancakes were inedible. Service was lack luster. Best thing was the toast.

Great food and service! The menu has something for everyone and you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose! read more

Love the gluten free options and the service is amazing. We have never had a bad meal there

I feel like the diner experience is always a mix of waiting way too long for food that is easily made at home and getting comfort food in an atmosphere stripped of pretense that some foodie places have. As to the former the friendly toast didn't disappoint, 35- 40 minute wait for a table, that was slightly offset by using the yelp checkin, and a 40 minute wait for eggs to come out. Despite the wait, there is something lovable about the friendly toast, the waitstaff is nice, the kitsch is very present but not overwhelming, and the food is ok. I would say that the food was my least favorite part, got the fried chicken sandwich which was overly greasy. Also got French toast bites, which were fried but not greasy and actually the star of the meal - recommend. The mimosas looked tasty but pricey. read more

It's new & a fun place to eat with all the retro decor. I wish the food was better/edible. I ordered from the really limited lunch menu ... I got a soggy, gross sandwich for $17 bucks. Most diners offer good lunch options as well. I would go back to basics instead of having and overcooked impossible to chew Buffalo chicken breast and 3 kinds of cheeses, why not offer a basic grilled cheese...with the option of add ons..tomatoes, bacon etc. .. that could get you up to your $17 price tag. Milkshakes are essential in any diner...and you need. An equal amount of healthy options ... more salads, wraps.. stiff that doesn't make your stomach hurt after you eat it. The bar is fun and nice but the drinks are weak and expensive. One drink + 1 soggy artery clogging sandwich = $40! Maybe breakfast is ok? But I think you'll get better value and quality at a word of mouth local diner. read more

Good food with vegan options, delicious adult beverages and family friendly atmosphere.

First time I was able to get in there easily because it is that good .. excellent menu, excellent food and excellent service and love the ambience! read more

The friendly toast is overrated, expensive for no reason and the food is OK. Our waiter didn't have no personality.

Expensive food with no flavor! Would not return. Service was okay though!! Decent ambiance.

Breakfast all day! What more could you want?? So many different options. This is my go-to spot!

The food was delicious, our server was so attentive. Getting on the wait list ahead of time with so helpful. Restaurant was a little on the loud side however we could still have conversations read more

HORRIBLE service! Tried ordering the Sampler. It came with egg rolls which I am allergic to the hash in it. I asked to substitute for the Quesadilla, I was told they cant sub with that one because it only comes in one size, so I asked it they can just give extra of one of the 2 other items in the sampler, now the response was , we don't sub anything for any reason! For some reason 2 managers came over. They were not "friendly" at all. I seen negative reviews but thought I would give them a try myself! Wrong, should of listened to the reviews. Went right across to the 50's dinner!! They never disappoint! read more

Good food, somewhat expensive. This location is pretty similar to the one in Chestnut Hill. Overall the food is quite tasty, and definitely a step up from standard diner fare. That being said, they are quite expensive, and this prevents me from giving a 5 star review. When the average breakfast option is like $15+, that's a bit much. read more

Have never been to a Friendly Toast despite having 2 close to where I live. Went for lunch and had to wait 15 min which was fine since shopping kills the time at shops. Had the Buffalo chicken grilled cheese - delicious! Chicken melted in my mouth. Waffle fries were hot and tasty. Really nice server and also the host was very friendly. Would definitely go back to try other things on the menu. read more

Although the place is clean with cheerful decor, and our waitress was nice, the food is overpriced and the portions are small. I ordered a Cobb Salad, for $18, which was a disgrace. It was the size of a side salad, with literally scraps of deli turkey and ham and 1 hard boiled egg (cut in half). No advocado, no bacon, no blue cheese (or any other kind of cheese), no grilled chicken. When the waitress asked if everything was ok, I said no, this is not a Cobb salad, and explained what a Cobb salad is supposed to be. I was nice and said it wasn't her fault. She promptly went in the back, I assumed to speak to the chef, to make it better. She came out with nothing to offer. I told her it was ok, that I would never order that again, and in fact, would probably not return. Apparently that was fine with the Friendly Toast. By the way, my husband wants me to include that his coffee was good. So I'm saying that now. But his "make your own omelette" turning out to be about $20 for a very small omelette with probably only 2 eggs and very little cheese. We will not return! read more

Love this place! Amazing servers and food! Great for families and brunch! Bonus that they use the Yelp waitlist function!

Food was delicious, service was good considering the place was extremely busy and the ambiance is incredible. It is a modern day diner.

The place was absolutely packed, so they have a good business. Nice inside, clean. Wait staff was great. Food came out quick. The BLT was not great. The bacon was not for me. The waffle fries were good. The Monster French Toast breakfast was good. The home-fries need to be cooked more. Menu is a little on the pricey side for breakfast. $4 for coffee. Would probably go back and try other food on the menu. read more

Very good service, and food family ambiance, very busy, strongly recommended join wait list before go

Overall fun atmosphere. Good food and good service. Good menu options. Pricing on a little on the high side.

Amazing service and food love it. Went once for brunch with co workers. Had food delivery as well very good

I had in the New Hampshire scramble today it was horrible. The presentation did not good. It looked like green eggs and ham actually but it was not good at all it was very like dry it needed a sauce or something to work I wasn't happy with my home fries at all they were cooked to done. Oh well, $27 later I should've selected a better dish. I was very unhappy with my meal today. read more

Food and service were great. The noise level was loud . The only drawback .Plan ahead .went on a Sunday and a long wait, but definitely worth it! read more

Love this place! Decor and staff definitely passed the vibe check! The food was insanely delicious. With each bite, my SIL and I would look at each other and say "This so good! Why is this so good?" Will absolutely go back! read more

Very fun vibrant breakfast place. Unique menu. Food and service was excellent. Our server Paige made the experience very enjoyable.

We had a large party with 2 babies. Although the waitlist was 2 hours, we arrived early and they were so sweet to accommodate us. Smiles all around, the most friendly staff. The atmosphere was super fun and casual. The drinks looked fabulous. Coffee was too strong for me, but I'm a dunkies gal and it def had a starbucks taste. The food options were plentiful. Every dish was individually prepared and absolutely delicious! We will be back! read more

Service is a littttle hit and miss, but nothing crazy. I always love the ambiance here. The food is pretty consistently delicious and there are tons of options. Great drinks too! read more
