This isn’t the first time I’ve been to Friedman’s, but it is my first for this location! If you’re looking for a cozier, less busy location, then this is the one for you. I was able to catch the tail end of their happy hour deal, which gave you all their cocktails for $10! The Spring Fever was a nice, fruity drink that me and my friend enjoyed. I got the Meatloaf & Mash, and wow.
It was a hearty, good meal.
The meat was moist, and the sauce paired so well with the dish.
The string beans were also surprisingly tasty and garlicky, and I’m usually a string bean hater! Definitely recommend this dish to anyone who comes! My friend had the 3 Piece Chicken with fries on the side, and from the few pieces I stole, they were also delicious! All in all, it was a great meal, and Friedman’s has great comfort food as usual!


MY ORDER EASTER SUNDAY (3:08pm) 3/31/2024 FRENCH TOAST WITH BERRIES AND STRAWBERRIES, Thick Cut bacon SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ONIONS (side order) ICE LATTE MY PRINCESS’s ORDER: KIDS CHICKEN TENDERS WITH FRUITS. There is a lot for me to say about this place.
I believe during COVID 2019 this was the Friedman’s location I visited and I ate outside.
I order chicken with waffles(Amazing but it immediately became cold lol because of the weather).
Hahaha. But anyways back to this review. It had taken my a while to review this fine establishment because I’ve been so busy with LIFE ITSELF.
Now I have the time to review this haha….while at work.
Immediately every single staff at FRIEDMAN’s are attentive and just professional! Especially the manager…superb! They treated me and my daughter with respect, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! With extreme class.
The entire place was just clean with a capital C! More than enough room for a stroller and high chair (although I wish they had a designated spot for parents(single parent) with strollers.
They have a great kids menu for my daughter and a plastic utensils for the kids to use! A whole variety of options to choose from.
The menu for the entirety of the restaurant, amazing plus vegan options too! My French toast was fluffy (you can also have the option to select how many pieces of toast you want), fully cooked and just tasted LIKE WHAT FRENCH TOAST WITH POWDERED SUGAR should taste like.
The syrup…I’m a condiment king! I love condiments and my sauces on the side…the syrup is JUST BEAUTIFULLY delicious! The eggs is scrambled and SEASONED perfectly! Overall daddy and daughter time during EASTER SUNDAY (thank the LORD) ENDED AMAZING! Thank y’all for letting us dine with you FRIEDMAN’s Please support the locals!!


Super easy breakfast spot..
something for everyone on the menu and also a few different takes on the classics..
great for out of town guests! They dont take bookings and there was lots of tables available on a Saturday morning.
Service was a tad slow but food was lush - star of the show was definitely the chicken waffles and the lemon ricotta pancakes!
