This was my breakfast pancakes with bananas, bacon, and eggs over easy with and I have to repeat this with their tater tots all right even if you don't like to this is it. This establishment is also in Boston, but let me tell you we had such a great time. The service was fantastic. The food was great those tater tots. I dream of them if there was a friendly toast within 100 miles where I live, I drive there just for those giant Delicious cheesy tots. It'll get you every time. read more

Made reservation for 11:45 AM. They did not honor reservation. This was disappointing

Went for lunch with our grandkids. One had the monster pancakes. Liked them but stopped eating half way through due to the size. The other got the mini French toast. Small piece of bread. My adult guest and I shared what in menu was called chicken salad on a croissant. What came was a very small amount of the chicken salad on a bun, and the salad was nothing special. Waffle fries that came with it were cold when they arrived. Did have a very nice server. read more

Great food and service every time! The added value for me is that with each visit, I've noticed that managers here are always on the move, helping to making sure things are running smoothly, serving and cleaning when needed, etc. I've been impressed with their standards and the consistency I've experienced with each visit. Definitely my "go to" brunch spot! read more

They have a new menu and no longer have the chicken cordon bleu benny. This was my favorite breakfast and gladly drove 40 minutes to indulge but sadly won't be returning unless one opens in RI. The new home fries are excellent. Please reconsider putting the chicken cordon bleu back on the menu read more

The menu was extensive, the food was great, the service couldn't have been better and the atmosphere was fun. I highly recommend

Food was ok. Ordered a veggie omelet and it was very small. Only one piece of toast cut in half with a couple of tablespoons of home fries were included. I think it was a bit pricey for the breakfast. Service was ok. Ambiance is good. read more

The service upon entry was really great! My friend and I had a great experience with the workers. The food was absolutely amazing! My favorite was the cinnamon french toast! The service was fast, drinks were great as well! read more

I had a bad experience there I had an egg platter with home fried toast and bacon. I didn't like the food I ask to change to a egg sandwich and it was the same horrible Eggs. I'm not sure if that was an egg substitute but it did not taste good. Clean and friendly staff nice decor but they need to do better with the eggs. read more

great breakfast spot. we have been there several times when in the Boston area. check it out

Absolutely DISGUSTING experience. My wife went here last week with her friend to celebrate her birthday and ended up walking out after seeing a giant rat run across the floor. What made it worse was that no one -- staff or guests -- seemed even remotely surprised or concerned. The manager came over and gave her some lame excuse about how they're "trying to remedy the situation," which only confirmed this isn't a one-time issue. She was completely mortified and didn't want to make a scene out of it, and just left. I felt the need to let it be known. People deserve to know what kind of environment this place is operating in. Just awful. read more

I used to loooove friendly toast but hadn't been in about a year. the experience was absolutely terrible. the food wasn't good, the menu has drastically gotten smaller and my favorite item (snap, crackle, cluck) is now gone and replaced for a boring classic chicken sandwich. I got the classic chicken sandwich in the hopes that they just changed the name but the butter on the bun tasted rancid and the sandwich was just boring/bad to begin with. I didn't even like my fries. They were stale. The only thing i liked on that plate was my pickle sphere. My friend got the friendly toast benny and got half the amount of breakfast potatoes on the side that they normally would've put in the past. The ketchup on our table was basically empty and tasted weird. I didn't like the maple lemon spritz And it was $10. My friend ordered a side of pickled onions and it was rancid! Our server tried it and said something was off. Then he said he brought it to the kitchen, they tried it, and spat it out. That's disgusting. they thankfully took that item off the bill. I looked up if they sold their company but apparently they hadn't. this experience was terrible and I don't think I'll be going back. The bill was also extremely expensive... $75 for 2 people at a brunch place!!! It was especially expensive for the quality and quantity of the food. read more

I like they offer burgers (or any items on the menu) for breakfast! Good ambiance. Friendly staff members. It gets popular, so be sure to make a reservation if you don't want to wait for a long time on the weekend. read more

I love that this place has the manager personally come out to serve any food that has an allergy or dietary restriction. The ambience was a little crowded but the food and the service more than make up for it! read more

From a 25-minute wait time (despite my entire party being on time for our reservation) to subpar food, The Friendly Toast was a disappointing experience. The service was far from excellent but understandable for a busy Sunday morning. The reservation system including an unspoken 20-30 minute wait time is egregious and inexcusable. The food was substandard, too pricey, too sugary, or too peppery. My avocado toast was $15 for mostly guac, and $18 to add an egg. Prices I'd be willing to pay for quality that I could not find at The Friendly Toast. My partner described it as a mix of Friendly's and IHOP, which feels accurate. In the future, I'll be choosing my local diner for better prices and, somehow, healthier options. read more

I came here with my friend for breakfast as I noticed this was a fairly new location at legacy place. Inside, the restaurant was pretty busy but the service was fair. The table design was too busy for me and an eyesore to look at. I ordered 'tropic like it's hot,' an egg white omelet with spinach, a side of bacon, and a waffle. There isn't much to say but the food was subpar at best and it's really hard to mess up breakfast. I did not care for the texture or flavor or the waffle nor the whipped cream it was topped with. I had to ask for syrup and they were even skimpy with that. My bacon was burnt which I didn't appreciate and overall it was giving cafeteria/continental breakfast. My drink was on the sweeter side and I did not taste a lick of alcohol. I'll pass on this place in the future. read more

Great kid friendly restaurant, big menu with tons of choices. Fun atmosphere and decorations

Friendly atmosphere and great service. Great food and love the difference flights they have

Food was very good, churro bites way too sweet, breakfast egg roll out of this world, must try. Some like it tot is awesome crunchy and cheesy. Hash quiche great hash cup with amazing quiche filling. Will get again. Cordon chicken Benny my friend got was great home fries a little disappointment. The blood Mary flight was also disappointing too much horseradish. Mimosa flight amazing and will get again. All and all good food experience and will be going again. Location ideal right near book store, coffee shops and shopping. read more

Everything went well. We love their breakfasts. I always have Belgian Waffles, with fruit and real Maple Syrup. We are treated well, Staff is friendly, Food is delicious. Never an issue that cannot be solved. read more

I had a pleasant experience here yesterday for lunch. It was quite busy but the hosts were extremely friendly, accommodating and communicative about wait times. Our server, Lucas, was kind and knowledgeable and made suggestions that were helpful to us. The pancakes were perfect but my omelet was underwhelming. It was just a bit wet and lukewarm. Other than the omelet, things were really great. It was bustling and bright and the environment was nice for a catch up lunch with a friend. read more

Friendly toast is a great brunch spot. Good drinks and food the only bad thing is 1. You have to pay for parking and 2. You're lucky if you find parking anywhere close. The wait can be long especially on a weekend but the good thing is they take reservations online. I had their flight drinks which were pretty good and the bennys are always good too. read more

The quality of food was HORRIBLE. Super over priced for what you get. The maple gingerbread bacon was literally inedible-- asked for an over medium egg and got 2 runny eggs instead. All around would not pay the price to come back for Cisco freezer food. read more

I went to the Friendly Toast in Dedham the other day having been to the Back Bay location before. I have only gotten their benedict's before and they were pretty good. When we came in the older woman hostess was not very friendly at all and the first thing you expect entering a restaurant is feeling welcomed, even if it is busy. We waited on the yelp waiting list for not too long after arriving which was nice. The server we had was very nice and friendly (I wish I remembered her name). I got the omelette with the long name that has cheese, ham, bacon, and other stuff in it. It was really good but one thing I don't love about Friendly Toast is how some of the items they seem to be doing too much with the food. There was some maple/chipotle crema on it with pumpkin seeds and I didn't think the flavors were bad just a little weird/too sweet for an omelette. Potatoes and toast were solid. I think Friendly Toast is a little too out there and overpriced to be expanding to so many different places. I would rather go to 50s Diner and just get a simple breakfast. Some things on the menu are good but sometimes you just want something simple. read more

Ordered chicken and waffle for delivery on Uber eats. Food came cold and presentation looks absolutely terrible. Looks like they literally just threw it in the box and looked unloved. Waffles were soggy with sauce drenched in. Don't know why they thought it was a good idea to drench everything vs just putting it on the side. Would have been nice if it was bone in chicken but it's just a giant patty lol. Had to air fry everything to savage my breakfast. read more

The ambiance and decor is what will attract you or your kids. It's colorful and wild with random pieces. The menu has many options and seems to have to the same funky theme. Kids will probably love this place and adults will enjoy it as well but the price just isn't worth it. I had to pay 3 dollars for syrup that didn't come with my pancakes. The service was okay and the place was crowded but it was a Saturday morning. read more

First off, they have no guest WiFi. I cannot give five stars to anyplace that doesn't provide that basic service. The vibe is good, kind of fifties diner style. Prices are good, with the exception of the corned beef hash. A bit pricy for what I got. I think they ran it thru a grinder. So no texture for the corned beef and the potatoes are minced. But the flavor was good. The hash browns seem like they arrive frozen in a bag, not raw potatoes cut in house. I still managed to eat most of them, the cholula helped there. Coffee was good, eggs done properly. Excellent toast. I would come back. read more

Check yelp and join the waitlist 30-50 min before. I did it at 10:30 am on a Saturday from home and sat down immediately when we arrived at 11:05 or so. My siblings from Texas loved it when we took them in back bay and then took them again in Dedham and they even wanted a mug. We had fun sharing the drink flights to try some special brunch cocktails. Our fav mimosa was the tropical one and our fav coffee cocktail was the coconut caramel one. Food is good! I get the breakfast burrito with chorizo. I can only eat half and take half home. read more

My roommate and I came for brunch on New Years Day to start off the year on the right note and we were not disappointed! Our breakfast burritos were awesome and but we were even happier with our server, Lauren H. She was maybe one of the smiliest, most friendly people I'd come across in a while and she made us feel so welcome and so well taken care of. We love Lauren!! read more

The 5th time to give this sorry location a try. The management is trash, the staff is rude, the communication is even worse. Out of all locations this is by far the absolute worst one. Including the food which is not up to par with the back bay location. Complete waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere. read more

The friendly toast is absolutely always consistent. They never miss the mark. I tend to get or start off with a chocolate chip pancake and then I'll end with eggs and some type of protein. I never get the same thing however, every time I get food, it's amazing, fresh AND the order is right. The staff is friendly from the door until the time that you leave. I would say my only disappointment is that I don't drink alcohol and having a list of mocktails that taste amazing, and are not full of sugar would be super super awesome. However, I do understand that I am probably not the person that they are catering to because most people do drink alcohol, However, it would be nice to have a variety in the non-alcoholic drinks offered. read more

The food was gracious and the servers were delightful. Love the vibe of the place. Only problem was the manager, they seemed to not understand that even though there is a large group of friends and family, we were seated separately. So we should either get separate checks and should get treated as such without gratuity, or get one big check and get gratuity. And the manager kept insisting "it's a group of seven" so it has to have it, even though, again, seated separately. Ryan Burns, the manager on duty that morning, was very dismissive as well, trying to walk away from the conversation the entire time! read more

Everything was great! Service, ambiance, and especially the food. I wish we could go everyday!

Friendly toast is a solid option for brunch. I enjoy coming here due to ample parking, generally fast service, and a very clean and spacious restaurant. Over a dozen of visits to this location, I can say that most of their wait staff are extremely friendly and efficient, but we've had the occasional waitress who has been disengaged and has no sense of urgency. On to the food: they're a step up from greasy spoon diner, and their menu has a good mix of classic brunch options and more creative choices. The hash quiche and crab cake Benny are two of the "better" options I've had from Friendly Toast, but I can't say anything in particular stands out. Word of caution: don't order their omelettes. I ordered a ham and mushroom omelette and weirdly enough it came deconstructed? It was as if the egg was cooked first and then the toppings were haphazardly thrown on top. Ambience: 5/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 read more

Great breakfast place in Dedham. Gluten free options. The homemade hash is fantastic! Dairy free as well if you need that. Full bar. Service is great. read more

Stopped in for breakfast at The Friendly Toast with my daughter, who had been there before. We had to fortify ourselves for a day of shopping at Legacy Place. The place did not disappoint. It has the ambience of a diner on a little bit of steroids (which to say is great!!). Busy but not overwhelming. Staff friendly'; menu extensive. We both had the Damn Good Egg Sandwich - delightful but huge! Couldn't finish the plate. Prices are reasonable for the Boston area Our server Melissa has great. The breakfast fulfilled our wishes - we were able to shop extensively. Wish we had a Friendly Toast in our home area. read more
