About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Gluten-free-friendly

A little about us & the culture that has been created… Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.” Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

The food was delicious, as usual. We had the Cobb salad, a Greek salad and tomato soup. The salad portions are large with good amounts of each ingredient. Never a disappointing dish from Friedman’s.

Love to eat here, can always trust the gluten free options. The meatloaf with mashed is one of my favorite entrees, and tonight didn’t disappoint. Always friendly service.

We had a lovely corner table, had no trouble hearing my dining companion. We had the meatloaf and braised short ribs with sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious and the waiters were fantastic. I will definitely return.

The bartender was not sure how to make my friend’s cocktail so I would recommend ordering a drink from the menu since they probably practice those. We’ve been there several times and the food is always great.

We always enjoy our visits to Friedman's and yesterday was no exception. Wonderful pulled pork sandwich for me (a special that night) and my friend had fish tacos (he thought they were too spicy). Wonderful server, Sammy. We are so lucky to have this jewel in our neighborhood! But it can get noisy around dinner time!

Great neighborhood place for informal dinner. Had the salmon burger. It was better than my home made burger. Very pleasant but can be noisy even at 5-6 hour
