Friedman’s Herald Square

Went there for a team lunch. It was crowded. We were quickly assigned our table. Just the space is bit small so need to adjust. We selected food using bar code and then ordered it. Found 1 veg option. Food was tasty and the size was also enough. Overall recommended place.

Came here for brunch today. Food: 5/5 The toast with poached egg was delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the mocha was great as well.. Service: 3/5 The server was really great, but I felt rushed by the manager. It seemed like they were trying to get me out as soon as possible, constantly checking on me every 1-2 minutes. I couldn't enjoy my meal in peace and was out in 20 minutes.

Our group of four came by on a Saturday for brunch at 12:30. It was crowded but we didn't wait too long. In fact, it's a pretty well-oiled machine they have running. We must have gotten our food within 5 minutes of ordering, and yes, it was hot - so they must have certain things prepped beforehand. We had an order of the lemon ricotta pancakes for the table to share. I was really excited for these but they were kind of disappointed. There was not enough lemon flavor or ricotta. They just tasted like pancakes with a hint of lemon. For my main, I wanted to try the fried chicken, which is what they're known for. But I didn't want the chicken dinner, so I went with the fried chicken sandwich. For lack of better words, it was thick and juicy. The chicken was perfectly fried. It does get pretty messy though. It also comes with a side of fries. Can't believe I've waited so long to try Friedman's! Don't let the brunch crowds deter you. Everything moves quickly and is very efficient. We were in and out in less than an hour.

We had a breakfast here. The food was good, but compared to prices it could have been better. My dish was a bit blend. Otherwise the atmosphere was nice waitresses were helpful.

Visited for brunch and was lucky to get a table without waiting. Tables are quite tightly packed in and noise levels were relatively high. We enjoyed our food, but I was disappointed that my poached eggs weren’t runny and had to remain the waitress that we were missing a side order which didn’t arrive with our main plates. It’s a little on the higher price for breakfast, but what an institution, we really enjoyed.
