Fantastic! Almost everything on their menu can be made gluten free and they well and truly understand coeliac! When I ordered my meal gf I clarified that I was coeliac, he said “don’t worry, we’ve got you”! He explained that they take extra precautions for coeliac orders, cleaning down, etc and it comes out separately marked! I felt very safe and the food was amazing! I got a pastrami sandwich - YUM!

Copied my review from another Friedman’s as they were all Amazing (I am a symptomatic Coeliac)! Ate here multiple times and did not get sick at all!! They are excellent at telling you what you can and can’t have. Everything came out with a gluten free flag.

I even ate fried chicken! And fries! They have a separate fryer.

Amazing experience especially when you are worried around walking after eating

Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Eggs were perfectly cooked. All came for me with a little GF flag. Chocolate chips and shakes also GF. Pretty much anything can be GF here except French toast and matzohball soup.

Breakfast bowls made the moms happy!

Lots of gluten free options. Gf food comes with a gluten free sign on it. The waiter told me that if it did not have to sign in it to let him know right away. Made me feel that they took it seriously. Food was great!

Perfect attitude, very accommodating. We have a celiac in our group and they made sure everything on our table was clean. Also super tasty and big servings! Would definitely come again next time we're in town.

Stayed in the Hotel Edison and ate here many times. All but a few options are naturally gf or can be made gf. During my time at the hotel, I had Fried chicken and waffles (fried chicken!!), blueberry pancakes (which are naturally gf), pot stickers, fried chicken wings, fried chicken sandwich, and a brownie and Oreo mint milkshake (both naturally gf). Food items flagged GF when brought to the table. Wonderful options right outside Times Square and a few blocks from many theaters!

They mention a ‘gluten-free haven’ on their website yet carry bread and non-gf beer. I got glutened by a non-gf beer after asking if it was gf and being told it was. Turns out the employee was still training. Point is, it’s still a risky spot and unfortunately thats intentional by their choices to have bread in the kitchen and wheat/rye based beers on tap. Not sure I’ll ever be back, which is a bummer tbh. Menu isn’t marked GF nor separate so it’s easy to mixup GF from non-GF.

When I need some comfort food, I go to Friedman's for chicken and waffles. The food is absolutely delicious and I love that they put a GF flag on the chicken. Every restaurant should get these little flags.

There are some who rated this place as the food as nothing special! And I'm shocked, I had brunch here with friends who aren't gluten free and they loved the food! Mimosas were great with the fresh Orange juice, avocado toast was amazing, along with the chicken sausages! Definitely going back soon!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A bit of a wait, but definitely worth it! Friedman’s has some of the hard to find items that you can’t usually find gluten-free, such as potstickers or a Reuben sandwich! A bit on the more expensive side, but it was worth it! The waiters were also very kind and knowledgeable, and I strongly recommend it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First time at any of the Friedman’s and I had high hopes given their GF friendliness ratings. They ARE GF friendly (I didn’t get sick and I’m very sensitive), but the food is nothing special. I will probably give it another try - maybe something unique like the fried chicken and cheese waffle - but the first visit did not wow me at all, and there are other places in NYC that excite me more.

I really wish I loved this place! Based on the reviews, I may have just picked a bad day to eat there. I got the fried chicken sandwich and got very very sick. They were very dismissive when I asked if they were sure it was gluten free.

Potato pancake is just like how my mom makes it. My wife and kids who are celiac love this place. They have a dedicated fryer and all the foods are fresh and delcious. Great service and not overpriced compared to a lot of other restaurant's gluten free menu. Look forward to coming here a lot

Wonderful meal, knowledgeable and pleasant server. I has the best GF grilled cheese of my life, made with Gouda, broccoli rabe and caramelized onion. My son inhaled the burger on a GF roll, and my husband raved over the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and GF potato pancake. We would visit weekly if we didn't live an hour away. Love, love, love this wonderful place.

Yes

Fried chicken and cheddar waffles was divine. Don’t be intimidated if there is a long wait for a table because they can do everything on the menu to go.
