Grille cheese with waffle fries . I had already eaten half the sandwich as you can see !
Frederick R.

Another delicious lunch with the best , friendliest most professional and knowledgeable bartender/server who always welcomes me with a smile and kind words ! Not too busy today but it's generally a quiet atmosphere as it is today .Food is always delicious . I had a simple grille cheese and waffle fries w/ pickle .Always has nice plate presentation, I am a regular patron because of the Bartender Sammy Cosky ! But I am glad I kept coming back because the food is always tops with its own flare ! The manager Amil is not here today but I will mention him also as he is very kind , professional, and also makes me feel comfortable as I usually am alone . Sincerely Fritz Ritter

Cute menus
Cheyenne M.

We arrived at a really busy time but we were almost immediately acknowledged and seated. Every staff member we came in contact with was extremely down to earth and nice! They have an extensive breakfast/lunch menu. There were many things I'll be back to try! Our chicken sandwich may have been the best I've ever had. The perfect amount of hot honey over a Rice Krispie breading! Topped with pickled onion/pickle slaw, and an everything bagel aioli!? The flavors were out of this world! The fries were hot and salty, and only the best grillo's pickle to pair with it. My last tidbit is the environment is so unique! It's got the perfect blend of retro diner, and modern-hip vibes!

Classic Breakfast - Gluten Free toast
Grace C.

I was told that The Friendly Toast is really good for people with allergies, so I decided to give it a try. I have celiac, so I told the host as soon as I entered, and he opened the menu to show me the gluten-free labels that are on the menu. He also said that most of the menu can be prepared, gluten-free, that I shouldn't have anything in the fryer and that they take the allergies very seriously. I sat at the bar and the server reiterated the allergy protocol, so I felt super safe. I also saw the host/manager go back to the kitchen and mention the word celiac, so they really are doing a great job. Food was good - the sausage patties were GREAT! GF toast was hard as a rock but the pancake was bomb!

Menus

Everything was fresh and delicious! The waitress and staff were very friendly. The ambiance and decor is amazing! I will definitely be back!

Chicken cordon bleu Benny
Marni M.

After very much debate, my friends and I decided on coming here for brunch. I called ahead to see if they take reservations, but the host told me they do through the Yelp waitlist. Timing the reservation wasn't too bad as you get live updates by the minute. You can also see how far into the line you are, in case, you decide to go somewhere else, and can easily cancel. There is plenty of parking as they had their own lot surrounding the building. For drinks we ordered their Classic Bloody Mary's, Pickled Bloody Mary, apple juice, Red Eye Irish Coffee, and Dreamsicle. We were all very happy with our choices. As someone who has only had one very disappointing Bloody Mary before, I was pleasantly surprised by theirs. We shared the stuffed tots as an appetizer which came out in under 5 minutes. The crispy outside was perfect for grasping the creamy mayo it was served on top of. For entrees we got their Benny, burritos, classic breakfast, and Chicken cordon bleu Benny. All the entrees came out in a timely manner and well presented. I loved the cordon blue Benny as it was filling and delicious. But the home fries were slightly burnt and a bit mushy. As a dessert, we shared the king cakes which were banana pancakes with slices of bacon and a drizzle of peanut butter syrup. They weren't as fluffy as I prefer but the toppings were sweet and salty. Overall, I had a phenomenal experience. Our waitress Fiona was incredibly attentive especially given how busy they were on a Saturday morning. I would highly recommend others to check them out too!

Donut stop believing sandwich
Grace V.

My boyfriend and I came here last weekend. We had been before and this was my second time coming. I got the donut stop believing sandwich and it was amazing! Scrambled eggs and sausage with a gooey plain donut as the bread? I never thought to use a donut as the bread for a breakfast sandwich but it really works! I will definitely be back.

Mimosa Flight
Che C.

Stopped by The Friendly Toast on a Friday morning for breakfast. We were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant was clean and the seating was comfy. Our server inquired if it was our first time visiting and I said yes. He said welcome but didn't really orient me on the menu. I wanted something to eat but wasn't extremely hungry so I kept my ordering light. I ordered one pancake with blueberries on top and soft bacon. I like my bacon limp and not crispy. The food was mediocre. My bacon was not cooked to my liking and the pancake was underwhelming. For my beverage selection I tried the mimosa flight and that was really tasty. They had a traditional mimosa and the some other variations of mimosas. I would for sure recommend trying the mimosa flight. I would return but would try ordering something else on the menu.

Spinach & bacon omelette, fruit, toast
Morgan K.

Food was really good, the restaurant is adorable! The service was good as well. Will definitely visit again.

Fuzzy Lumpkins (Jalapeño Tequila), backed by Creamsicle
Roberto B.

Our 2nd time, and 1st time to this location. Discovered last year on our Anniversary in Portsmouth, the original location. Amazing both times. Creamsicle & Fuzzy Lumpkins (Jalapeño Tequila) - both Amazing. Shout out to our server/Bartender Sammie, Thank you. Chicken Cordon Bleu Benedict & Huevos Rancheros (ask for poached egg on top) we're equally delicious. You really can't go wrong here. LOVE this place !!!

Flor P.

Super cute place for good brunch! Came here on a Sunday at 1pm, waited 10 mins or less to be seated. Service is super nice, everyone was really kind and had a good attitude. Ordered the Chorizo Bennies, Chocolate Chip Pancakes and the mimosa flight. Everything was really good, I really enjoyed the bennies.

Solid food, quick service. It's a good spot with a chain feel. Lots of pancake options. Would return, especially with a large group.

Is there outdoor seating?

I went this this past weekend. There's no outdoor seating right now. Looks like possibly in the future they will...since there is an empty patio where tables could go.

The music bingo did definitely make it noisy in the restaurant - we didn't really mind but just something to be aware of. The vibe of the Endicott Grille is very much a local, neighborhood, bar where regulars and groups of friends have hung out for years. My partner and I are in our early 20s and we were by far the youngest people there. Service took a little while, they do seem to be a little understaffed or maybe it was just busy that night, but our waitress was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I ordered the classic burger and substituted the fries for sweet potato fries (regular fries are included in the special, my substitution added $1 to the order, and I felt it was very worth it). The burger was very large and I felt that it was an excellent deal for only $6. My partner got a different burger and kept the regular fries, which were seasoned nicely, although I did prefer the sweet potato ones. Overall we had a very nice experience and I would definitely return to enjoy their burger special again!
