Service is great, even when it is crowded. I never feel like I'm invisible as a solo traveler. Food is great, especially for someone who is GF. They take great lengths to improve their options and ability to provide a safe meal. The fried chicken (with waffles), whether you are GF or not, is quite awesome!

Excellent choice for dinner and reasonably priced. Happy Hour a plus. Ask for Allie, she did a great job for us.

This review is regarding the uptown location. In the last few years, the area around Columbia University has experienced an influx of new places to eat. The restaurant scene has definitely improved and been updated. Friedman's, which has three other locations, is on the Amsterdam Avenue side of the campus and is truly a welcomed addition. We dined for breakfast on a recent Sunday and found the place bright and cheerful with a helpful and friendly staff. I had the Wild Mushroom Toast which is a tasty layer of truffled mushrooms served on a ciabatta roll and topped with a sunny side up egg. It comes with a salad and a creamy mozzarella cousin called burrata. My husband had the Nova Benny which is a modern take on eggs benedict served over potato rather than bread. We enjoyed Friedman's NOLA Brew cocktail - grown up take on cappuccino.

I was looking for a breakfast / brunch place that offered a gluten-free menu - what a FIND!! I had the breakfast special - an guacamole with sliced avocado on gluten free toast with heirloom tomatoes, a tossed green salad and two eggs (I had the BEST, super hot poached eggs ever!!) Our server, Brooks, was more than outstanding! He was super friendly, offered great advice, was intuitive about our needs and handled everything with the brightest smile. Wish I could take this place back to California with me!!!!!

Everyone was happy here. Lots of gluten free options, pancakes included, all served on square plates. The round platers (gluten crowd ;) ) had only positive things to say about their pancakes, bagels and eggs. The bacon was pretty spectacular. Orange juice fresh squeezed. Very kid tolerant, they put groups with kids on one side of the restaurant which is better for everyone.
