Made plans with friends to meet up for brunch. Our friends don’t live close by, so we don’t get to see each that often. My husband and I arrived first, right at 9 a.m., with our son, hoping to get a table early for our larger party. There were plenty of open tables. I’ve even been to this location before with a group of 20+ and we were easily accommodated. However, this time the hostess refused to seat us until everyone was physically inside, even when our friends texted that they were pulling in. I pointed out open setups that could fit us, like a four-top beside a two-top, but she declined and seated another group there. The host/manager told me not to worry and that seating eight wouldn’t be a problem. When everyone arrived minutes later, he offered only two back-to-back booths. I asked about nearby tables, but he said they can’t push tables together on weekends. Since that didn’t work for us, we had to wait. Eventually, we were crammed into one booth. seven people plus a baby in a high chair. I spent breakfast half off the seat. The food was fine, but the experience was frustrating, especially when we saw the same man later pushing those very same tables together for another large party. Overall, it left us extremely disappointed with The Friendly Toast.
Highly recommend you check out this place! The staff is amazing, food was delicious delivered in a timely manner and hot. Drinks are yummy also
Slow service, lukewarm coffee.
Great food, friendly wait staff, very accommodating toward allergy’s and family’s.
Great food and experience. Our server Liz was amazing. Will be back.
Liz was fantastic & even customized my breakfast egg rolls with Chipotle sauce 🍳
Liz was fabulous and the food is delicious!!
Great food and service, Zach took great care of us. New favorite brunch spot
This is the second location I've visited and neither disappointed. As others have said, they can be a touch more expensive than the competition (especially if you want a lot of extras with your eggs like myself), but the cooks always deliver. Food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun and energetic, and the service is wonderful.
Fantastic breakfast spot! The food was fresh and flavorful. Thr service was friendly and fast. Perfect way to start the day! 🍳☕🥞

The Friendly Toast delivers on flavor and atmosphere. The menu is creative, portions are generous, and everything we ordered tasted great. The retro decor adds to the fun, and the staff was upbeat and attentive throughout our visit.
That said, we were surprised by the price. Breakfast for two adults and two kids came to $90 — and over $100 after tip. For a casual breakfast spot, that felt high.
Still, if you’re looking for a fun brunch experience with quality food and unique options, it’s worth checking out. Just be ready for the bill.
Had such a nice time at the toast because of our server Tori! She was so sweet, bubbly and efficient! She had great menu knowledge and we loved the food! We will be back
Had been to the Boston location many times during college, but first time we've tried Friendly Toast again since moving to NH. We had a wonderful time with our guests from out of town today. Service was fun and hospitable, food was excellent. The group loved everything they got.
Love the Bowl Me Over Bowl especially but never had something I didn't like from here. Love all the Gluten free options and Liz, our server was amazing and very attentive. Cannot reccomend enough!
The corned beef Benedict was the worst cbh I've ever had...brown, maybe 1 to 2 ounces of over seasoned brown pattied so called hash...only thing good was the potato tatoes...wow..so disappointed
