    Crab cake burger
    Michael L.

    Friedman's came to the rescue as we were looking to somehow seat a party of 6 in Chelsea Market, which was busier than the streets of time square during New Year's. Whether that's a good sign or not, they did a great job accommodating us, were very friendly and the food was all very good. Our pastrami orderers were very happy and my crab cake burger was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed the fries too. Portion sizes and prices were all very reasonable as well. I don't know if you are in Chelsea Market is you choose the restaurant or the restaurant chooses you, but if you end up at Friedman's you'll be well taken care of. Enjoy!!

    Crab Cake Benny- huge portion, so tasty
    Alicia H.

    Chelsea market was bumping on a friday afternoon. Wasnt sure what I wanted for lunch, but the all day breakfast at Friedmans caught my eye. There was a wait for a table with wait staff, but you could easily order to go (and they even have a bunch of seating for outdoor orders). Our 2 meals came out shockingly fast, 10 mins at most. My crab cakes eggs benny was a huge portion and packaged nicely. I loved the crisp of the potatoe pattie instead of a mushy eng muffin. I couldnt finish the whole dish but I loved it. My friend really enjoyed her sandwich, also a large portion. Great value for comfort food. Would 100% go back!

    Friendly, fast and good food. They offer gluten free and dairy free options, breakfast until 3:00PM

    French Toast

    This was a restaurant I did not intend to go to. However, I was craving French toast and saw on their list. That was one of the things they had. We were seated right away and our server was really nice. It was quaint great for a couple. Definitely worth coming to.

    Friedman's@Chelsea Market 75 9th. Ave. New York, NY 10011 Fried Chicken & Cheddar Waffle Whether you have the waffles as breakfast or lunch, you won't be disappointed! The hot honey and the maple syrup were the backbone. If you can't make it to this location , there are six others throughout the city all specializing in gluten free plates!

    The restaurant is very cute and clean. The food and gluten free choices were amazing. However the waiter seemed to forget a few things we asked for. Food:4.5 (pastrami needed more mustard) Atmosphere: 5 super chill Service: 3 older waiter seemed to cover whole restaurant. All over the place.

    Arriving to New York and fresh off of the train and after a walk along the highline, I found myself at Chelsea's market looking for breakfast. I decided to stop here because we would be able to sit and be served by a waiter in the menu is simple enough, but it does need to be scanned with your phones camera. There were options for lunch and breakfast. We chose the French toast and chocolate chip pancakes and ordered a side of hashbrowns and bacon to supplement our meal. Everything was quite good including the service since I never had an empty cup of coffee, thanks to our waitress. This is a quaint restaurant, so there is not enough room for many people to move around, which is why my chair was often bumped as the staff like the waitresses and waiters frequently bumped my chair moving back-and-forth. I would not recommend this place for a large parties however, takeout is an option for those of you who would like to take your meal someplace.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

    I had the most amazing Lemon Ricotta Pancakes!! The vanilla infused cream sauce melted in my mouth, and the candied lemon peels elevated this dish to beyond my expectations!! My mouth watered when I saw it!! The service was amazing. Must eat here!!!

    Went to Friedmans in the famous Chelsea marketplace on our NYC trip. Service was outstanding and the ambiance definitely had that New York vibe. This place super reminds of Saul's up in Berkeley but Friedmans had some menu items that they just don't serve in the Bay. Food was delicious and portions were definitely East Coast size. Next time I'm in NYC I'll be definitely finding my way back to this spot.

    Friedmans Burger
    Joshua M.

    Food and service was great. The burger was well cooked and adding to the great taste with sautéed onions.

    Food was good, nothing blew my mind, but everything was good no complaints. This is a great stop inside Chelsea market if you're looking for classic American diner food but elevated. The real standout for me was our server, I think I remember her name was Julie. She was so patient and kind from start to finish and really made the experience wonderful. Personally if I was working in that busy of a tourist spot I'd lose my mind but Julie(?) was such a pro. Another person noticed from a far that the table had a slight wobble (which was so slight I barely noticed) and he came over and fixed it before we got our food.

    Nice, small restaurant, but the staff was able to find a very comfortable space for us to be with our stroller, which we really appreciated. The staff was friendly, and our server was attentive. Our food was served efficiently without a long wait. I would say this is a safe spot to grab breakfast or lunch--nothing too special, but it's good and hits the spot. Overall, a pleasant experience, and we'd come back if we're in the area again.

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

    I'm not sure why this place has made it onto so many lists, but it was pretty mediocre all-around…read more In other circumstances I might have found the colocation with the subway charming, but the space is rather cramped and hectic - to say, I was hoping the space would be something to overlook for the sake of the food. To start with the good: the arancini were perfectly passable, and the Sicilian pie was enjoyed by all. I would describe it as more of a Detroit style actually, with a super crispy crust and nice textural contrast. On the other hand, we did not enjoy the seasonal vegetable pie or the nepo pie. I generally really like this sort of no-cheese, umami-heavy pizza, but the nepo was so salty! I'm not sure what specific ingredient was missing, but missing it was. My hopes for a recreation of the rossa pie I enjoyed at Farina prior to their closure were dashed. As for the vegetable pie, the vegetables tasted like the frozen veggies one might find in what was once marketed as a "TV dinner". It was a shame, since the sauce of the white pie was otherwise pretty good.
