About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Kid-friendly
Healthy

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.

Great Sunday dinner - food was delicious and our server, Sammy, was helpful and friendly, taking fantastic care of us. Without me asking, he also poured my after-dinner coffee just the way I like, leaving me enough room for a good dollop of half-and-half! It was the perfect casual evening, and quiet enough to catch up with an old friend.

Love Friedman’s but this last visit we were astounded that the FULL bar had many choices of bourbon but not one scotch choice - why have a bar?

This is currently the only restaurant in the city that can accommodate my kid's extensive allergies including a severe wheat allergy. We had a lovely meal yesterday and were treated well by the staffers who double triple checked everything and put us at ease. Just to feel like a normal family having a meal with friends is a golden experience for us. Thank you Friedman's

As someone who requires GF options, this is the restaurant to dine at; close to the Beacon Theater where we were headed after dinner!! I ordered the grilled cheese with smoked Gouda,aged cheddar and tomato on GF bread! I added a cup of tomato soup for dunking. Absolutely delicious!! My husband loved his grain bowl! I look forward to dining here again.
