Seemed like there was a change in recipe with both the home fries and the pancakes. The pancakes were a smaller portion than normal. Service was good but please go back to the old recipes the new ones taste bad. Especially the home fries read more

The food here is fantastic Gluten free haven! - They take food allergies very seriously here. All of the servers I have dined with are familiar with food allergies and follow proper protocols. $ Price is mid-high for the type of food. $ - Expect to pay $25 - $30 per person. Servers are pretty good. (7/10) Diner style service which I am fine with. Some may not be since the prices are not in line with what one would expect to pay at a diner. - The bartender with the hand tattoo is great. WARNING: Do not sit at the bar! - There is an awful chime sound that rings from the kitchen or payment processing system every 10 - 15 seconds and it drowns out the entire atmosphere of the joint. Can't hear the music because this bell chime keeps firing off. read more

I've been here quite a few times and have enjoyed it each time. The atmosphere and food quality give kind of a Denny's or Friendly's vibe, but slightly better. They make their own corned beef hash, which is a must for me; I'm not a fan of canned. I love the specials they offer, too. I've gotten their Cinna Swirl French Toast, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Homemade Corned Beef Hash, Homemade Hollandaise Sauce, and Banana Slices. I typically go alone after an appointment before work and throw an audiobook or podcast on in my headphone. The staff is really kind and is great at gauging the appropriate level of interaction. Definitely a good spot to stop and have a quick bite. read more

Food is always great but the recent menu change didn't give much variety. Bring back the menu and 5 stars it is all day. Service is great.

Went to the North Andover location on 5/27. My friend and I walked out when the waitress could not seat us at a full size booth. There were plenty of booths open, but the waitress remarked there were only two waitresses on staff and apparently these two did not want to walk an extra 20 feet to an open booth. Business must be so good they don't need the money! read more

Went around 11am on a super busy morning, but I had added myself to the Yelp waitlist ahead of time (love that it shows your spot in line). When it said we were 5th, we went in to check in and they actually sat us right away, which was an awesome surprise. We started with the tropical mimosa flight, which was pretty solid overall. The menu is extensive and it has lots of options which can be a little overwhelming sometimes but love variety. I tried their new dish, the Monte Madame. It's basically a French toasted croissant sitting in cheese sauce and topped with an egg. I'm usually not into "wet bread" (major texture thing for me), but this was actually really good. It looks like a sandwich, but definitely wasn't meant to be eaten like one, so I just used a fork and knife and treated it more like a stuffed French toast situation. The place was packed and loud (not unexpected), and our server was really attentive. Food took about 40 minutes to come out (yes, I timed it) but honestly, it ended up being worth the wait. Parking was a bit tricky, due to the time and competing business around but there is plenty of parking. Overall, great spot with creative brunch dishes. Just be ready for a bit of a wait if you go during peak time. read more

The first time eating at a Friendly Toast. It is very clean and the staff are extremely friendly. They had a great variety of breakfast foods, which is nice for a change and some adult beverages. Our bar staff, Karina and Cynthia were very attentive and extremely pleasant. I definitely recommend and we'll go back. read more

YUM. I have been to the Cambridge location before but never this one. Very spacious here and fun decorations in friendly toast fashion. The food was great and menu had a LOT of options that I was v interested in. I ended up getting the Medley Crue, add avocado which was DELISH. Our server was great, the only gripe I had was that it took a LONG time to be seated on a Tuesday at 12ish. There was 8 of us, but a lot of tables empty - I get it people are short staffed and can't fill their tables but from arrival to departure j think we were here for just under two hours. Which I'm all for on a Saturday morning when I have all the time in the world. Anyways, I'll be back to dive more into this menu but this place sure does get busy. read more

The service was mediocre at best, they weren't busy there and the service was at the worst. I asked for maple syrup didn't get it and then I asked another waitress that if I good get maple syrup just snapped at me with a very unpleasant tone it would cost 1.50 excuse me I don't care about the cost I want maple syrup please. Multiple waitress very disappointed at this location I will never go there again. read more

Having eaten at their Portsmouth restaurant as many times as possible, I was excited to visit this Friendly Toast, and I was not disappointed. We took advantage of the Yelp "Get On The Waitlist" option, which allowed our commute time to reduce our actual wait time there by about 2/3. The restaurant is huge (it was previously a Fuddruckers) and the decor is fun**3. The menu is pretty much the same at all of their restaurants, meaning way too many good choices. This time I went with their classic Monster Breakfast. Our meals came out quickly, and everything was, of course, delicious. One thing that surprised me was that instead of servers coming around with carafes to refill your coffee, each time you wanted more, you got a fresh cup. We had a terrific server as well, which made the experience even better. When I'm in the area, there are places I could get to more quickly for breakfast/brunch, but I'd rather take the few extra minutes and drive here. read more

Very friendly as well as quick service from a large menu. Great breakfast at an affordable price. I visited maybe twice or three times even. I my wife and baby both are quite a bit and enjoyed it. We had first busy and the 12 of us were quickly waited on and got exactly what we wanted very quickly. I feel like if your looking for a quality and fast breakfast for the family-this is it. You have enough time to get comfortable in your birth, enough options to enjoy what you want and your out the door at a pace that makes sense read more

The drinks are the thing to go for when you're here. I got the seasonal special - drunken pumpkin latte. It was strong while still being exactly what it's advertised as, a spiked pumpkin latte. The Irish red eye had a rich coffee taste and it is a must have. Great way to start the brunch! The food was just regular breakfast food, but what set them apart are the home fries! They're so well seasoned and flavorful, I could literally just eat a bowl of those. The pancakes weren't as fluffy as they could be , but they weren't bad. read more

Went for pick up on Veteran's Day. Web order was ready 20 minutes after scheduled pick up time. Lots of empty tables, but people were told waiting time was 20-40. About 20% more people wating to be seated than those seated. Ordered the French Toast - way too much cinnamon in the batter so taste lingered in my mouth all day. Pancakes were room temperature and rubbery. Sausage patties were greasy and overly peppered. My grandchildren left over most of their food. read more

Another location and another good experience. I went here with my little boy and he enjoyed it just as much as I did, the food is always good. We will be back read more

Amazing service and great food! Great scenery and area. Parking was hard to find but overall wasn't bad. Thank you! :)

Never again..rude and incompetent ..not what you want to encounter as a first impression entering a restaurant. Filled out yelp "waitlist" arrived at the time we were told ..and she said yelp messed up and they did not have our "waitlist" reservation..even though it was right on our phone..she then told us a forty-five minute wait..Yelp you should look into this..as the GM blamed this on you..and even with the yelp app showing that we should be seated she refused and told us we had to wait..we left and went to Burtons..a mile down the street and fabulous read more

Super cute breakfast place with lots of fun, interesting decor inside. This is a very busy spot, but it is because it is in a good location near lots of local businesses, and the food is great! I love the mimosa flights. I like the avocado toast and you really can't go wrong with the classic basic breakfast (eggs, toast, tots, and bacon or sausage). read more

First time on a Tuesday which they were quiet and not busy. Would of expected better. The hostess was okay but waitress was not attentive. Had to wait for a coffee refill for quite a while. We ordered basic eggs and toast. Came with bacon and small cubes potatoes. Only one small piece of toast and for the price it was expensive. Over 12 dollars ! Been to better places. Toast is inexpensive. Not impressed. read more

food was so disappointing. omelette was dry and boring. got only one piece of bread for toast with no butter... must be one of those single-slice unfriendly toasters. home fries were lacking seasoning and flavor. next time i'll just go to shawsheen read more

Food is OK, service is OK. The men's bathroom floor had a layer of urine on it. Totally gross.

Cool ambiance, nice good with nice size portions. Fun place, great breakfast spot! It was crowded on Mother's Day and they were still attentive and cheerful. read more

The food is good but the entire place reeks of bacon grease every time we go in there. When we get home we need to put our clothes in the wash. It's very off-putting to dine in a smoky room breathing grease and coming home smelling like it. Fix your kitchen vent system maybe. Service is usually good but sometimes our food takes forever to come out when the restaurant is not even busy. read more

A Belgian waffle with fresh berries and whipped cream? YES, PLEASE! Quite possibly the best I've ever had. I think the whipped cream was home made. It was delightful. Service was also superb. ( I sat at the bar). Only two issues with this place: it's on the pricey side, though it is definitely nice inside; the iced coffee I got to go was not good, though possibly it's my fault for trying oat milk? Anyway, I will definitely be back. Maybe they can earn the elusive fifth star? read more
