    Spicy mango margarita
    Gauravi P.

    We had a good time at friendly toast for Mother's Day! The staff was very thoughtful and timely with seating, taking our orders, and answering our requests. The food was good! We didn't order as much food as we normally do during lunch. We ended up splitting a Korean fried chicken sandwich, house salad and fries. I also ordered a spicy mango margarita which was delicious! The chicken burger was five stars. I highly recommend it. The burger bun was brioche style and the chicken was fried to crispy perfection. The only thing I'll say and why I took a star off is because there is always a long wait time to get seated at the friendly toast. I know when we came it was a holiday but I have found that there is always a long wait time here. I don't know if it is because the restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating, but waiting an hour to be seated consistently here is frustrating for customers. It worked this time around because we had errands in the mall but that is not always the case. I hope they can work on bringing the wait time down on normal days.

    This place is absolutely delicious! I love the decor and service was amazing. I think it's pretty on par with what you'd pay at any of the restaurants in the mall, but it's a little pricey. I think it was worth it though! The Snap, Crackle, Cluck was juicy and flavorful, and definitely ask for their hot sauce. It was actually spicy and their house made tumeric sauce. And my fiance loved the pastrami sandwich (it was a special), but personally I found it extremely salty, I was happy with my choice. The espresso flight was cute, but next time I'd just get a regular espresso martini

    Mimosas!

    This is my go to place all because of the fabulous bartender Amanda! She remembers my favorite items and always is a pleasure. Thanks Amanda

    I've been here often. Today, a group of retired teachers met for brunch. Our server, Audrey, was attentive and welcoming. We shared loaded tots, which were tasty and made a nice breakfast appetizer. I ordered breakfast egg rolls and I loved the garlicky aioli. We shared a side of French toast--very tasty but a little too nutmeg-forward for me. Everyone else had some version of eggs. I'd love to see them add some more elevated hot beverages: cappuccino, tea lattes, etc. Good luck at Boston University, Audrey!

    We are so glad that we made reservations for The Friendly Toast because the wait otherwise would've been over an hour! We made our reservation on Yelp the night before and were sat a few minutes after we arrived. We always come here after Black Friday shopping and every year we are happy! Our waitress was awesome and wore the funniest Danny Devito graphic t shirt. It was iconic. The food came out so fast and we were in and out (which after getting up at 4:30 am, I was not mad about!). The food was probably the least memorable unfortunately. It was good, don't get me wrong, but nothing special. The breakfast burrito was kind of bland and I wish there was more cheese! The potatoes could've been crispier. But my aunt liked the omelet and said it was very good. And the eggs Benedict was fine too! The tots were the best for sure, but again, could've used more flavor! The restaurant was crowded as usual and the vibes were good--very high energy! Plus the Christmas decorations were so cute. All in all, you can't go wrong going here and I'd say the prices are worth it as well. We'll be back next year!

    This place is so cute, vintage decoration with alot to look at. I got the rainbow sherbet mocktail which was absolutely fantastic and the eggs Benedict was good too, I just would've liked a little more buttery-ness to the hollandaise personally. Very great service and would like to come back soon cuz there were so many fun menu options.

    Fun, esp. on St. Patrick's Day!

    Outstanding decor, clean bathroom. Super service people! I don't love the menu, it's hard to read, not as many choices as there could be. But decent vegan options. The coffee is excellent, the toast is very good, the potatoes are very good, and the omelette was very good. If I'm being picky, the broccoli was unevenly cooked. Solid four stars.

    Love coming to Friendly Toast everytime I visit Boston! The portion is huge and so tasty like homemade meal. Love the vibe inside, so cozy and so cute! There is usually a wait on the weekend, but the mall is next to the restaurant so we spend sometimes while waiting for the table. Food is amazing!! Staffs are fast and so friendly, will come back here for sure!

    The waiter are friendly, wait time can be long. It's best to have a reservation, especially on the weekends. Coffee tastes burnt, French toast was soggy, thankfully we were able to replace it with slightly burnt pancakes. Eggs tasted fake. Everything tasted reheated. The aesthetics were nice, but I wouldn't revisit and it's definitely not worth waiting over an hour for. Great homemade hot sauce though. Ask for water, since they do not automatically bring it to you, and when you do they only bring it for one person

    Meh. You wait forever for barely average food. Seating is very tight. You feel like you are seated communally with strangers.

    Ask the Community - The Friendly Toast

    Can I specify outdoor seating on the waitlist?

    Is there a certain time that you are allowed to order the alcoholic drinks mimosas /bloody Mary's? Someone told me they don't serve them before 11am? Just wondering if this is true because it says they have a full bar service!!…

    They cannot serve liquor before then on Sunday- we put I. Our order but she couldn't serve them until after 11
