I don’t usually leave reviews BUT Amy the bartender changed my ways! She is so friendly and accommodating 12 out of 10 service even during the busiest times. The good is great as well but her attitude touch of personality and drink crafting makes it worth it to always come back.

The food was delicious! The vibe of the restaurant is so fun, and our waitress was amazing!

Could have just been the day, but our family dining experience left a lot to be desired. Wait was 40 minutes. Pretty warm day and got seated right next to the door so there were always people coming and going outside. There was nothing overly friendly about our server, but they were busy. He never even asked us if we wanted anything other than water. He just brought out 4 waters and asked if we were ready to order. He was very impersonal.

Food was ok at best. I got basically the equivalent of a Momma’s pancake breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and I can tell you that it wasn’t like Momma fixed it. Eggs were cold and bland. Pancakes were ok. Skillet tots were cold and bland. Bacon was cold. Nothing had much of a taste to be honest, but we live in the south so that may be a harsh critique.

The place was super loud, but that’s a personal preference.

All in all, I’m not mad I went, but I wouldn’t go back. If you’re in the neighborhood, maybe give it a shot, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

The quality and price of this place did not live up to the ratings. Even for lunch, the place was very busy and we were seated inside where it seems our waiter was covering half of the entire restaurant. The menu’s were given to us wet, but in a maple Syrup semi-sticky way. It was semi-loud with talking and gave us a feeling of dirtiness cause the staff never have time to fully clean after guests.

Our waiter took our order in between running to 20 other tables constantly, and simple 2pc French toast was $14 + $5 for two sausage patties, and then unknowingly the fruit he asked if I wanted on top was an additional $3… it was maybe 3 strawberries and like 15 blueberries… and that means $14 was for plain French toast??

Total bill for two people to get standard breakfast food and a soda in a busy, not high quality place came out to $60+. The food wasn’t bad but for $60 and atmosphere/service less quality than IHOP, we’ll just look elsewhere.

I had the Skilarmageddon Omelet and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the presentation was beautiful.

As a Muslim who doesn’t eat pork, I truly appreciated that the staff kindly replaced the pork sausage with turkey sausage upon request. Their understanding and flexibility made my experience even better.

Thank you, Friendly Toast, for being so accommodating. I highly recommend this place — especially if you’re looking for flavorful food and great service.

🌸 A brunch worth repeating for anyone looking for a hearty and customizable breakfast.

It's one of the best brunch places. It's constantly packed, and it is best to reserve before going.

been here a few times and i really have no complaints. french toast is my go to, but the pumpkin pancakes were great. the rainbow sherbert mocktail is so addicting.
service is always friendly. once, the house had forgotten my order for over 45 minutes. i wasn’t complaining, just bummed out, but i saw how busy it was. they realized their mistake and comped my whole meal, which was unexpected and very appreciated.
