I've been dining at The Friendly Toast for over ten years now. I've brought others to this restaurant over the years too. It's fun. It's local. It's breakfast all day. It's great bread/ toast. It's HUGE portion sizes. It's great eggs and the best breakfast potatoes (get the Guy Scramble- scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, black beans, avocado, and salsa... more

Went there after staying at Wentworth-by-the-Sea in Newcastle. The Friendly Toast is a great restaurant with good food and great service. And it's in a great location in Portsmouth. Highly recommend. more

The server was greasy, tattooed and heavily pierced....not exactly the kind of person I'd equate with food service. The music was punk rock. We... more

I would drive up from Boston just for the Pumpkin Pancakes. The atmosphere is great with grandma's dinette sets, Americana on the walls, anything you could possibly want on a multi-page menu, young friendly tattooed waiters. The food was just Great! I would give this place the five star, except for the coffee. The coffee is that dishwater diner stuff.... more

Really creative breakfast choices. Always a wait on the weekends. However, don't drink the coffee. more

Loved it!

My husband and I recently drove to Maine and we stopped at the Friendly Toast on the way up. We liked it so much that we stopped again on the way home. The food and service was great. On our return trip we were even there during the Sunday lunch rush and we still had good service. We tried the... more
