This Friedman's location is quite small compared to the others! It's nice and homey. We walked in around 11 on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately. Our server was super friendly and everyone working was very helpful. The staff had a good vibe. I like going to Friedman's because I have several gluten free friends and this restaurant really cares about that. It's generally a safe bet that your food and drinks will be good. They have quite a large variety on their menu, from breakfast to sandwiches to Asian fare. I didn't love my chicken sandwich but the spinach artichoke dip was amazing. read more

incompetent service. do not go - avoid this place at all costs! Incredibly bad service = i can't stress it enough. If you'd like some Other recommendations, let me know! read more

First time here and read many positive comments about it so we have it a try for our gluten feee member. Ordered dumplings and they were nothing special, steamed and average filling that you could get almost anywhere. The General Tso chicken was typical , daughter had grilled chicken sandwich and said it has a good flavor and was pleased.. Don't think I would return. read more

With seven locations across NYC, Friedman's is a reliable choice when you're looking for an easy, no-fuss spot with a menu that offers something for everyone. This particular location is a bit out of the way, but we ended up here because they had availability on busy NYC Marathon Sunday. The ambiance was pleasant and comfortable, with fun music playing in the background. I ordered the sesame salmon salad, which was $23 at this location. (Menus and prices seem to vary slightly between Friedman's locations.) The salad was enjoyable, though the flavors didn't particularly stand out. I ordered the dressing on the side but would probably have it mixed in next time, as that usually makes for a better overall experience. I appreciated the healthy mix of ingredients, varied textures, and generous portion size--I even took half home since I'd already eaten breakfast before the brunch. While I wouldn't go out of my way to return, I'd happily eat at Friedman's again if the occasion arises and would order the salmon salad once more for either brunch or dinner. read more

We've dined here twice in two days and I have to absolutely rave about this place. Food always great but it's the wonderful service too! Last night we had the blackened fish sandwich and pastrami sandwich both gluten free Every server we've had was attentive and knowledgeable ! Love the simple and functional decor that gives the place a nice uncluttered clean look. I'm so bummed friendman's doesn't have a place in the L.A area . read more

I came here with my friend for an early dinner on a weekday and was seated right away. I like the assortment of food on the menu and landed with a bacon lettuce tomato and avocado sandwich and a tomato soup. It came with French fries. I really liked how clean it was and it had a nice environment. The staff were really friendly and attentive. read more

We have only had good food and service at Friedman's.... It's in my new neighborhood and we have gone there quite a few times. It's good food & they offer Chinese as well..... just saying read more

I ordered the Taiwanese rice noodles so delicious. Service was exceptional so friendly. And chocolate lava cake for dessert. Delicious

A little expensive for what it is but it's good. The spinach artichoke dip with corn chips and chicken noodle soup are delicious. So is their burger. The Reuben, not so much. The meat was chewy & the bread a little soggy. I wouldn't order it again. Good fries though. read more

One of my go-to places for a casual brunch! My friend and I arrived here a little past noon on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating. This location is a little bit more "out of the way" compared to some of the other locations but definitely worth the walk imo since we were able to get seated right away without having a reservation, it wasn't as crowded as noisy, and service was top notch! This location's menu is also incredibly extensive and includes a ton of Asian-inspired dishes too, though I went for the lemon ricotta pancakes this time and my friend got the spinach artichoke dip. We both really enjoyed our food and I appreciated how careful and knowledgeable the staff were about accommodating my gluten-free dietary restrictions! I only wish I had a little bit more fruit on my pancakes but oh well :) they were so fluffy and warm and fresh - I know I'll definitely be back in no time to try out additional items on their menu! read more

Comfort food with a New York twist. Check out tuna, crispy rice appetizer excellent. Tried the fish and chips New York style and Friedman fried chicken all were extremely satisfying.

The staff was LOVELY. It is not the staffs fault some of the food sucks. I'm an old school Friedman's gal that absolutely loved their cilantro lime edamame rice from back in the day. This was BEYOND disappointing. An Asian menu of deliverables that make your rundown low quality ingredient Chinese food joint shine like no other. Why are they tackling an Asian menu when it's best hope is to be lack luster? IDK: could you make better meal out of microwaving a few things... yes. Great service though! read more

Great service, amazing food, and nice outdoor seating. I've eaten at the Chelsea Market location several times but the West End location is much better in regard to service and overall experience. I had the gf chicken and waffle - I adore a savory waffle and this one did not disappoint. The habanero honey is to die for. The dish is big enough to share OR take home leftovers! Thanks for all of the gluten free options! read more

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm atmosphere and attentive service. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the service from Nancy she was super friendly and made my family's experience amazing. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food, great service, and an overall memorable experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The food here is always top notch, very well done dishes, large portions for a reasonable prices. The staff...detail oriented, I never had to ask for anything. Can't recommend Friedman's enough read more

Great atmosphere and staff was very friendly and didn't make me feel rushed! Enjoyed my food and very good coffee. Had the pastrami hash with 2 eggs sunny side up. My only complaint is that the egg yolks where cooked all the way through. Not runny at all. read more

Came here on a Friday evening at 6pm - it was empty so no reservations needed. The staff was super attentive and sweet. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and my friend had the salmon entree. Good for comfort food and catching up with friends. They're currently renovating next door so I'm sure the venue will be even bigger once it's completed. Will definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Our new favorite burger place! Everyone that knows me- knows that I love a good burger. This place is very unassuming- but don't let that fool you. The burger is beyond! So tasty and delicious. The waitress was wonderful- and ensured we were happy with our meal. They also have a very tasty matzo ball soup so good! I can't wait to come back for another tasty meal. Thanks! Highly recommend! read more

I was in the mood to try something new on Door Dash and the menu had a lot of options. I was craving a turkey club so I ordered that and it came with a cranberry mayo and I added Gruyère cheese. It also came with a side of herb seasoned fries. The sandwich was pretty big and there was a generous amount of fries too. Everything was delicious, the turkey was fresh and there was fresh lettuce tomato on it too. The fries were good and crispy. I would definitely order other stuff from them when I need lunch options. read more

This was a nice addition to the neighborhood. I liked their sturdy outdoor set up and the heat lamps. We came around lunchtime and they were quite busy. Seems like they only had two servers for everyone which was not enough since it took them a while to clean up after parties who had left. As a result, the wait times were longer than they estimated. However they had good covid precautions (well spaced tables, servers with masks). For the food itself, we loved our pastrami Reuben. It was warm, comforting and juicy. Definitely a greasy guilty pleasure for a cold weekend. The fries were pretty good as well, not super crispy but well flavored. It was enough for two of us to split and feel full afterwards. We got the Mac n cheese side too. We will definitely skip it next time. We liked the crispy topping and I liked the lighter sauce, but the pasta itself was too al dente and ended up tasting stale as a result. Looking forward to trying other dishes though! read more

I had eaten at Friedman's West once before and had enjoyed the Reuben sandwich though it was extremely greasy and the service and atmosphere didn't match the prices. I decided to return to have a Cobb salad and was greatly disappointed both with the wilted lettuce, small size and dressing I didn't find matched the salad. The service was even worse and I will neither return nor recommend. read more

Turkey club is very good with the cranberry aioli. They don't have honey mustard but all good. They also have another menu of all Asian food. read more

We stopped by as we had a friend in the area who came here pretty often. The place was nice. Service was good, friendly and the food was good. I got a hot chocolate and it was tasty.

we're regulars at friedmans and like this location for the neighborhood feel, and the additional gluten-free chinese menu (through LaSalle Dumpling Room). friedmans can get pricey so if you need to eat gluten-free, be sure to review your bill because sometimes the staff will add the $2 surcharge to dishes that are already gluten-free. the surcharge is meant for GF bread/buns. the menu at each location varies slightly so when we're at west end, we especially like the chicken schnitzel and rice cakes with pork. read more

Ordered the grilled chicken sandwich for lunch, which sounded really good to begin with but really didn't deliver. You barely taste anything with the huge loaf of bread the sandwich is put on. Bacon jam barely comes through and you can forget about the avocado. Fries were great tho. Change up the bread and the sandwich has bud potential read more

All the burger spots in New York take a look at this! Fresh cut lettuce , French fries cooked perfect! Even included a side of ketchup in a "to-go" cup rather then ripping 10 packets , my go 2 place from now on!

Just opened a few weeks ago in October 2020, Friedman's West has a nice menu full of customizable sandwiches and salads. They built a very sturdy outdoor seating area and have heating lamps ready to go for when it gets colder. Went for lunch over Thanksgiving weekend. The service was lovely and the food was also. I had the autumn salad which contains a bunch of goodies like pepitas and squash and goat cheese and apples, with an herb vinaigrette. My SO got the pastrami on Rye, which they source from Pastrami Kings. We each had a couple beers in addition to our food and were pleasantly surprised to have not spent a zillion dollars. (Hells Kitchen tends to be pretty overpriced). Hopefully they receive a warm enough reception from the neighborhood to stay open during the fall. We could use a fair priced lunch spot! read more

They served under cooked fried chicken which was slightly bloody and cold inside and reheated outside chicken. When it was brought up, they apologized and took the dish. What was brought back was chicken reheated in a microwave, dried up like a card board outside and yet still cold inside. They did make it up by asking me to order something else, and they did not charge for the dinner for two - Thanks for making it up but will never return to this spot and now I have a bias towards Friedman's as a brand for not maintaining the quality of its chain stores. read more

This is one of our local go-tos and now they also house Lasalle so you get both a delicious American menu but yummy dumplings too! He likes the salmon, ai like the fried chicken and cheddar waffles but we always split an order of the chicken and cabbage dumplings. Easy atmosphere and good service. read more
