    Bloody Mary.
    Karen C.

    The new friendly toast in Concord is a wonderful new location on a tried and true restaurant experience. The atmosphere is eclectic, with fun and unexpected decor. The servers are bright and happy and helpful, the food is delicious. The jumbo cheddar tots are so incredibly crave worthy. We both ordered extra spicy bloody Mary's, Hubby had the sklarmageddon omelette and I had the Monte Madame, which is a croque madame on a French toasted croissant. Oh my gosh, everything was so good, and we had serious leftovers. Unlike other locations, we didn't have much of a wait on this particular day, but I would imagine it fills up pretty quickly, so add yourself to the waitlist if you can.

    It's a pretty busy spot. Our wait was 30 minutes for breakfast. The chicken and waffles was my favorite especially since it came with a tiny bottle of syrup. Their breakfast eggrolls are really good and the churro bites are so sugary. Great place for brunch and there's options for everyone

    We had a great experience at the new location for Friendly Toast. The fall flight drink selection was such a cool presentation. The decor is a lot like the other locations, fun and whimsical. While tempting to sit on the outdoor patio, we picked a booth inside as it was warm out. Food was excellent, tater kegs were not what I had pictured but tasted delicious. The pancakes and French toast were great While not inexpensive we felt the food was worth the prices charged.

    It's right in town so parking is a little tricky. We went during late breakfast, but they serve brunch all day long. The place was packed on a Monday, but we didn't have that long of a wait. It has nostalgia from the 70's. Our waitress was very cordial and accommodating. They have a full assortment of breakfast items with a twist. They also have mixed drinks (and sampler platters) that we indulged in. Really enjoyed it.

    Hash cups! No changes. Perfection.

    Wow!! Service was beyond accommodating ( Michaela C) and the brunch was crazy! Adult coffee flights and hash brown cups a must! Can't wait to go back!

    Churro Bites

    I've gone here twice now - once at lunch on a business day with no wait and once for a late breakfast on a holiday Monday where the restaurant was busy and there was a short wait. Both experiences were excellent. We had prompt service from the waitstaff on both occasions - just as prompt when it was busy as when it was less so. Drinks and food came out quickly both times and was delicious. My daughter had Churro Bites as a meal and her eyes rolled back in her head with the first bite. The decor is fun and you'd probably be able to find something you didn't notice before no matter how many times you go. Also really appreciate the easy online waitlist option. Bonus: my daughter left a book in the booth and they texted us to let us know we left it behind. So happy to have a location in Concord now!

    Breakfast platter (absolutely housed)

    Decor 10/10. Lots of choices on the menu, very nice. Service was great for the amount of people in the restaurant. Server (Amaya) was awesome. Would recommend

I liked the look of the place from the outside and from the inside it had a nostalgic diner feel to it. This place was pretty dang packed when we came in so after maybe a 10-15 minute wait we were seated, served water, and given some menus to be faced with the difficult decision of picking out a meal. As a Canadian living in the states, anytime I see "poutine" on the menu I immediately question what is about to be served to me, but I took a chance and ordered the poutine with chicken fingers on top of it. The food didn't take very long to come out and I was fairly impressed when it was put down in front of me. The gravy looked to be right, the cheese curds were there, the fries were there, and guess what? so were the chicken strips. The meal itself was pretty solid, although the gravy tasted like non poutine gravy, otherwise I enjoyed the meal. The fries were solid and the chicken strips were what you would expect from a diner. I probably would have been a bigger fan if the menu didn't feature something called the "trump towers" since I like to keep sexual predators away from my wife and food, but hey, what are you gonna do? Overall, The Red Arrow Diner fed us and we left with full stomachs. My parents love this place and will keep on coming back for more, and I'll probably end up here again in the future with them and give it another shot.

I hadn't been here before & to say my immediate first impression was very positive. You can seat yourself anywhere that has a table setting. My husband & chose a small, 2-seat table. Simple setting, lots of windows for natural light & cute décor. Our waitress was absolutely hilarious. I wish I had remembered her name to mention, but she had us laughing each time she came by the table. We were checked on frequently & our plates were cleared promptly when we were full. Some people naturally are charismatic & bubbly, even to strangers. The food was pretty good, nothing out of this world, but good portions & crispy homefries. I had the Blackstone benedict & my husband had the Hash benedict. As aforementioned, large portions & tasty. The Bloody Mary was a little heavy on the horseradish, but I didn't mind.

We were able to park close by and get in before the big crowd. Barley seems like a happening place. An upscale Irish Pub, for sure! The set up is a bar with a decent amount of restaurant booth seating. Of course, there were tables of different sizes available, as well. We were given a 10 minute wait after meeting with the Hostess. There was alot of activity around the bar and lots of drinks coming out of the bar well....always a good sign! When our time was up, we were quickly escorted to our table. We were each given a menu and a drink menu. Lots to choose from on both menus (see the pic below) I ordered the chicken sandwich with caramelized onions and my son ordered a Chicken Pot Pie. He had a beer and we both had water with a lemon. The food came rather quickly. I was immediately taken back when the caramelized onion was not on my sandwich. I was going to ask the waittress to fix it but it was far to busy and it was not a big deal. Of course, I would have enjoyed the onion but "no big deal". My son's Chicken Pot Pie was a good size and was thrilled with it. We both ate everything on our plates. Our waitress checked in with us a few times to refill, which was nice and came to take the plates away after we were finished. We did not get any dessert. To be honest, we did not see a lot of dessert plates coming to other tables, either. We were thinking maybe people leave to get ice cream at one of the nearby establishments. 5-Stars Price: Fair Parking: plenty near by Vibe: perfect...I would like to watch a game, someday, at the bar Pepsi/Coke: Coke Would I come again?

Everything our party of four ordered was a disappointment, starting with an ice-tea cocktail that was undrinkable-- our nice waitress took it off the bill. My grilled salmon on a bed of rice arrived as dry as the Sahara, surrounded by burnt roasted carrots -- at least I think that's what they were. My husband's steak he ordered medium rare was also way overdone, served a block of with cold mashed potatoes. The overly sweet Apple Pumpkin Bisque (for $9) went uneaten after each of us tried a spoonful -- it was more like a bowl of pie filling than soup. Even the dessert, bread pudding with some whipped cream, was gloppy and unappetizing. This is a great place to go if you are fasting.
