Great place overall. Delicious food, attentive and fast service, clean environment. Good options for breakfast.
Oh, dear Friedman’s, where shall I begin? I fear I may have already begun upon my first visit to your restaurant of culinary miracles, and a long and fruitful relationship was borne out of that visit.
I will begin with the negatives: it was a bit loud in there.
With that out of the way, I can now begin listing the myriad wonders.
The server was quick, attentive and knowledgeable. And when I say quick- we were barely finished ordering the coffee and Diet Coke when it was arriving at the table, prepared to exactly as ordered.
We had ordered several items as gluten free, and the server had the wherewithal to check the rest of the items, and without prompting from us, let us know that the entirety of the order was indeed gluten free, and she even made a few suggestions when we asked about other dishes.
Ultimately, the food came out quickly as well.
The decor of the place was clean, modern, interesting and aesthetically pleasing.
But the main event: the food.
The Mac and cheese was not “good for gluten free” it was one of the best Mac and Cheese I have ever had in my life. Served in a hot bowl with stringy cheese below a crust of crisped cheese across the top. And the fried chicken was unmistakably incredible. The breading did not fall off. If you have eaten gluten free fried chicken before, you must know this is a foregone conclusion for the breading. Not here. This was among the best I’ve ever had. The meat was juicy and not dried out and the breading was crisped and complete in its consistency and constitution.
There were other items, Brussels sprouts, sweet fries, the Nova Benny. All great. Truly. But good lord the Mac and cheese and fried chicken were absolutely confoundingly astounding.

My wife and I had an excellent experience at Friedman’s! She ordered the salmon salad, and I had the Reuben sandwich (gluten-free bread available!). Service was prompt and attentive – our order was taken quickly, and the food arrived fast. Everything was delicious and prepared perfectly. We enjoyed it so much that we went to another Friedman’s location the next day! Highly recommend for great food and a seamless dining experience.

I have heard how great the food is here for a long time. I finally decided to go and check it out before a concert last night. I got the gluten free fried chicken sandwich and fries and it was just okay. The chicken was not crispy at all. The fries weren't hot or crispy. Who wants cold fries? My sister enjoyed her food. I would give it another shot and try something else but I felt disappointed.
The pancakes are incredibly delicious.

It’s as if the folks behind the counter handling plate ware etc go out of their way to make an incredibly loud wall of sound — do we have to throw dirty plates into bins or can they be placed — can barely hear myself think let alone the person opposite me.

Everything was great, Our waiter, Jason, was very fast but we never felt rushed. Only 1 menu item wasn’t gluten free or available gluten free.
