On our days off we BRUNCH! Today my friend and I chose Toast, and after some unfriendly service at the Birmingham location, we decided to go to Ferndale! The food was delicious, from the omelette to the French toast. The only downfall would've been how long it took to receive food after ordering, "45" mins! Also, the pancakes were very thick but not in a light fluffy way. Otherwise, great breakfast/brunch place! Give it a try read more

I got the breakfast enchiladas which honestly were not very pretty to look to at, but it came with an egg and a bit of avocado and tasted really good! Also came with a side of beans but those were a little too salty for me. For those who are sensitive to spice, fyi the green sauce they put on the enchiladas is quite spicy. Also got a half order of the blueberry pancakes. Service was good, although I went with a big group and we did have to end up waiting almost an hour for a table on Sunday morning and food took a while to come out, so they are pretty busy! read more

Came here right when they opened and service was excellent! Before this I was not a fried green tomato fan, but after their's I am a changed person! This was delicious! They were fried correctly and sauce on top was a perfect pairing! Next the berry french toast was definitely a delicious sweet dish for the morning. Berries were fresh and in their prime and the French toast was made well! read more

The wait might be long but the food is always worth it. This is my go-to spot for brunch because the food and cocktails are consistent and always delicious. The staff are quirky and very friendly -I prefer the Ferndale location to the location in Birmingham due to this reason. Keep in mind that the prices are on the higher side (~$40/person for a cocktail/entree), however, the portions are usually enough to take leftovers and I don't mind paying extra for quality food.

Toast - Trashy Hashy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I went here with one of my friends to catch up on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere was very lively and crowded, as expected for a brunch place on the weekend. When our food arrived we noticed our orders were all swapped. We kindly asked the server to fix our orders and she was not very receptive. When our food returned it was still incorrect. This time we just kept it, even though it was not what we had ordered. I would like to try going back here again for a better experience. read more

Toast is delicious! We had amazing service. My husband and I skipped the long weekend brunch wait by sitting at the bar and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We ordered their hot chocolate and WOW! We got to see the person make it and she put so much love and care into this delicious treat and we could taste the love! My husband got a shot of espresso in his and he Dayum near fell out his chair it was sooo good! We went on to order their eggs Benedict and Chicken and Waffles and enjoyed each plate immensely. We highly recommend and I'm excited to return again on my next date day with the hubby. read more

I Pride myself on telling everyone that this is my favorite Brunch Stop! I was there Monday and was turned away because they still had Parties waiting. Cool, completely understand! I waited for my car to pull around and watched the rude hostess allow two ladies to walk in and sit at the bar! right in front of me! She was so nasty and rude I didn't want to stay however this is not the Toast Service i remember! I will Surely not be back! read more

TOAST...is not the best and it's definitely not the worst, but I don't understand the hype. I will say, I appreciate the uniqueness of the menu. I mean... you're not going to find bacon fried rice everywhere. But let's touch on the food... To start, I had the biscuits and gravy -- but I scooted that to the side because I didn't like it. For breakfast, I wanted the chicken and waffles but the waitress told me they were fresh out of chicken, so that was a no go. I decided on creating my own omelette and it wasn't a bad deal, but I feel like I settled because nothing else on the menu caught my eye. I opted for the bacon fried rice as the side, which was full of flavor. I will say, I can literally drown in their peach mimosas. They're so good. THIS IS A MUST HAVE! You won't be disappointed. The service was good; nothing to complain about, nothing to rave about. I would go back just to try different things on the menu (chicken and waffles) but I wasn't blown away. read more

I usually dont do reviews, however...I have to say "Squid" was the best!!! She had top tier customer service and vibe. The wait was long and there were some unexpected factors but this experience was amazing! She also made sure the food was exactly to the expectations. My second experience here. Way better because of her. The kitchen team must be a well oiled machine. I will come back and now more frequently. read more

I came here for a weekend trip to Ferndale because I had heard the food was the best brunch around and it did not disappoint. I recommend calling ahead or putting your name in early as there was a 45 min wait on a Sunday but the food was with it. There were too many yummy options to choose from so naturally we ate too much. The Garden Mary was delicious and they made it extra spicy like I asked. I'm also huge fan of fried green tomatoes which were hard to find but they have them here and they are fried so perfectly. Will be back if I get the chance. read more

Great breakfast spot in Ferndale...call ahead for availability. Often it looks chill from the outside, but every table & the bar filled inside, even w/their new post-covid additional space. The food was delicious. My side of bacon was cooked perfectly crisp & no grease, which I love. I ordered avo toast w/fried egg which was basic but yummy. My friend got the breakfast burrito which she said was just the right crispy outside and the flavors were great. I went there to meet a friend at 11:15am on a Monday & we got the last two-top. Seated in the middle of the mainroom (awkward) and had minimal stop-by's from the server. Full house, 2 servers + the mgr. Good for tips, bad for timely table requests. Four stars is b/c of cost. its about 10-15% higher prices than this community typically sees on a menu, but maybe its feared more toward out of town visitors, which is fine. read more

Deliciously unique recipes including the drinks. Absolutely loved the food. Perhaps it was an attempt to be pretentious. Perhaps our waiter is new to the restaurant industry? Or was it because the bill auto-adds 20% tip? Maybe a combination thereof; but our waiter's behavior ruined the experience, His lack of social skills, service, and timing made for a very unpleasant meal. We won't be back. read more

The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. Our bill came to just over $30 and we left spending $60.00 because the waiter did a fantastic job. I dont remember the waiters name but he did a fantastic job. He was super nice, didn't come back every 2 seconds. Made sure our order was right, made sure my husband had a refill of coffee and gave him a cup to go as well. Very well worth it! The esthetic was awesome too. The small little vintage toasters all over was super cute read more

First thing's first, this place is a whole VIBE! Let me explain! I had a hour of down time before my hair appointment and some friends from the area suggested I check out Toast while I wait. So boom! I walk in and I'm greeted and sat down immediately. The music and interior design caught my attention immediately -- I knew I was in the right place for breakfast. I ordered the chicken and waffles (10/10 recommended) with a cup of tea! The meal overall was great, I'd definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. Happy eating everyone :) read more

Toast - The diner countertop - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I was scheduled to pick up order at 11:33 AM. I walked in was greeted by the host told her my name she went back and checked and said it was a scheduled order so it would be about 15 minutes. I walked in at 11:28, which is OK but as I was walking back to my car, I got a text message saying my order was ready so I went back in the building and spoke to the same host and she greeted me again but with an attitude this time when I told her that the text message said it was ready. I'm just confused how you and tell me the order is ready and then tell me it's 15 minutes left I didn't appreciate the attitude. I do love their food but there's no need to have attitude with me I'm just ordering for pick up. Then she proceeded to turn around and walk away and mumble under her breath, which is very unprofessional. read more

Customer service was exceptional . There wasn't a wait , we came in and got for 2. I had the broccoli omelette with Parmesan grits and cinnamon toast which I thought was ok. Overall rating 6.5/10. The reason behind the raiding is because I had to add seasoning to my food, along with other people saying there hair in their food sitting next to us. The ambiance of the place was nice , very small and it can get quite loud inside . The patio is nice if you can stand a few bugs read more

Note-Review done during COVID pandemic. Parking Ample street parking. Free on Sundays. Atmosphere Hipster Detroit. Love the antique ice box at the entry. Great music. Furniture is aluminum kitchen jewel topped. Food and beverage No lie, this has to be the BEST brunch place I've been in a while. So many choices! A huge menu selection. We had peach mimosas which were good. Mu friend had the veggie omelet-giant and chock full of fresh veggies. Generous potatoes. I had the Benedict on English muffin. Although the muffun was not tiasted and gummy, the egg, sauce, and crispy just right bacon were superb. I usually ask for the sauce on the side as the quality can vary. But this was so good. It was enough for 2 but so good, so perfect-i did eat both. Did I mention that each had 2 pieces of bacon! Wow! The bacon hash was recommended by other Yelpers-DELISH!!! Get it! Fun fact-Aquaman ate here! Summary Best brunch place ever! You have to go! read more

Stopped by Toast on a beautiful Saturday. We sat on the patio and it was gorgeous!! I had an omelet with caramelized onions, sausage and cheese. My onions were a bit sweet, but the onion/sausage bites were a perfect balance. The home fries were perfect. I'll be thinking about them for awhile. My toast and strawberry jam were delicious. My husband had chicken and waffles. The waffles were perfect but the chicken had a spice he did not like. Overall positive brunch! read more

Very busy but great service & atmosphere. Food & drinks were phenomenal. Definitely recommend their chicken and waffles

Waitress was at the register in front of me & said she would be with me. When she came back, she asked what I'd like to order. (Woman sat next to me. She was asked if she'd been here before & had the specials explained. Unsure if this was time related or another reason, but im just explaining my experience. Aside from that forgetfulness, she was very pleasant. Gentleman to my right paid for my meal) Meal was delicious.

Toast - Nova scotia with fruit substitute for home fries/bacon fried rice/grits) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

The food was delicious and service was prompt, courteous and helpful when I had a couple of questions about the menu. Their menu offers traditional breakfast and brunch fare but in an elevated way that made it impossible to choose just one item for brunch. They also offer some unique dishes like bacon fried rice (one of their most popular dishes) and a strawberry cheesecake waffle that made me wish I had four stomachs so I could try everything...guess this just means I'll have to go back! We ended up deciding on: 1. Biscuit and Gravy to start (house made biscuit & turkey sausage gravy). This was a sign of good things to come. The biscuit was split, lightly toasted and would've been delicious on its own but it was enveloped in an umami-filled turkey sausage gravy that was not heavy, not overly salty, and had just the right amount of fresh cracked pepper. 2. Orange-glazed, poppyseed brittle, and blueberry topped pancakes - I can't even describe this. Fluffy, flavorful, and different. I want more of those poppyseed brittle pieces! 3. Corned beef hash - this sounds boring but that is the furthest from the truth. The hash was perfectly crisp and the corned beef plentiful. I had two really perfectly done over-medium eggs on top of it and it came with toast of choice (rye). It's no wonder this is listed under their favorites...I'm going to have problems deviating from this. 4. We also ordered a side of bacon (generous) and had campfire hot chocolate (see picture)...it's a treat of a hot chocolate that's for sure! read more

Cute little brunch place in Ferndale. I went on a sunday at around 11 and it was packed. Me and the guy I went with ended up waiting 20 mins outside before we could even get a table. Thankfully it was nice outside!! The wait was worth it though because our waitress was super cool and was willing to take the time to answer any questions about the menu even though it was packed. I ended up ordering a omelet that I could add my own choice ingredients to so I chose spinach, bacon and cheddar cheese. Soo good! He ordered some cinnamon waffle thing and said it was good. We also ordered a cinnamon roll but I personally would not recommend it because it was kind of dry and they used a syrup instead of a glaze on it which threw me off. Overall I would recommend this place and might be back if I ever go to ferndale for brunch again. If you are a person that doesnt like small spaces I would advise you to maybe go somewhere else because this place is tiny and theres not a lot of room between you and the next person. Just saying! read more

I wasn't impressed with toast at all. The drinks are great but the food is terrible! Went there with a friend for brunch and we ended up just eating the breakfast potatoes and a piece of toast bc whomever is cooking in the back, needs to go back to culinary school. I had the lamb omelette and it was disgusting , it was not seasoned and it did not mesh with the eggs whatsoever . Attached is a picture of the burnt chicken and waffles. The chicken had more coating that chicken and it was terrible. Needless to say, it was not the way anyone wanted to start their day. It's nice to have an unusual menu, it's better when you can actually find someone that can cook that menu! read more

Toast - Burnt chicken and Chicken-N-Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

I stopped in based on the Yelp reviews on a Friday morning. It was packed around 11am! Packed to the point of a 10-15m for a table (luckily I snagged one at the bar). It's a cool little place and service was fast and friendly. The cup of coffee was smooth and kept flowing. Unfortunately, my meal was subpar and brought down this visit. Keep in mind, this is based off one menu item and I am certain there are some tasty things on the menu, just the veggie poutine (which came so highly recommended by the server) was NOT it. The veggie poutine was oversalted to the point where I'm cringing just thinking about how much sodium I downed. The fries used did not seem like they were made in house, but instead were pre processed and purchased (and probably cooked from frozen). The cheese curds in this dish were totally unnecessarily fried and the gravy (which was the only redeeming point of this poutine) was too concentrated in the center. Way too much sodium, because: the already salted fries had additional salt tossed on top. The fried cheese curds were ridiculously salty and the gravy had a fair amount of sodium in it too (although if it was just the gravy it could have worked). The poached eggs were nice and runny and not overcooked. The veggie sausage was of course super salty too. The server never checked in with me on how my meal was, although I probably would not have gone into it with him. All in all, the veggie poutine was a disappointment and at $14 quite a lot of money for two eggs and some fries with some gravy... I'd return and try something else, but would not recommend this dish. read more

FOOD ALLERGIES BEWARE! I am by no means telling you not to eat here. Their food is delicious and I will happily change my rating if this issue is properly corrected. I ordered a dish from them for delivery. I specified to leave out green peppers due to a food allergy. Luckily for me, my allergy is not deadly, but serious enough to need to be careful to avoid. While they certainly DID leave out the ingredient, a couple pieces of the allergen food still showed up in my dish. This means they treated my food allergy not as an allergy but as a simple request to leave out the ingredient due to preference. Absolutely zero protocols for handling food allergies in the kitchen were followed and serious cross contamination occurred. I understand that not every kitchen has the ability/training/manpower to ensure that cross contamination does not occur, but this needs to be posted on the website and on the menu so that those with serious food allergies know. read more

The food was very good. My plate consist of hash brown, bacon bits, scramble eggs, green onions, tomatoes, and turkey sausage gravy. It also came with toast, but i really didn't like that.

In my experience going to Toast on February 18 I considered the overall visit over priced and overhyped. After waiting about 90 minutes to get a table, I was greeted with dry customer service, so dry it felt as if we were inconveniencing the server for coming in to eat. My main entree was lukewarm and my sides were cold. Not to mention having to sit by a cold window in the front of the door and not being offered to sit in the dining room so I can barely take my coat off to eat since the windchill of the door coming in will take my appetite away. Crowded, little space. Overpriced, rude. Not coming back again. read more
