Amazing food! Recommend gf lemon ricotta pancakes! Server enters your food accommodation into system upon taking your order and all of your stuff comes out marked gluten free so there is no confusion.
This location, as with all the Friedman’s locations, is amazing. If you’re near Chelsea Market you should give it a try.
Fantastic food and experience at the Chelsea Market location end of November. The menu had tons of options for my non-GF family and nearly everything could be adapted to be GF and celiac-safe for me. I had a club sandwich with gf bread and it was delicious. Great heated, outdoor seating if you want to escape the crowds.

We wanted a bit of everything so had one special lemon ricotta pancake, chicken strips and the best mac and cheese I've had
Fantastic French toast & banAna bread. Our waitress was super helpful & our meals came out with wee gluten free flags on them so as not to be mixed up with the other meals at our table. Excellent restaurant.
Good gf options and I believe a dedicated frier. Fries are tasty
Almost the entire menu is GF. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was outstanding! Fries really good too.
Great GF option with kids

My GF dinner partner said, “this is how other people eat all the time!” Burgers, fried chicken, sandwiches. We were stuffed. It was delicious. And we didn’t have to worry.
We ate breakfast and enjoyed everything. The food was delicious, we could order almost everything from the menu, which made us very happy. Also, service was excellent and atmosphere was very pleasant. Great place to start the day!
A great option to eat GF. Large portions. Good food. Excellent service.
There are plenty of gluten free items on the menu to choose from. I had the salmon and they will swap out sides if you prefer not to have spinach. The skin was super crispy, but the rest of the fish was still cooked perfectly. We shared the cheesecake which was just heavenly. Items come with a little flag to indicate that it's absolutely gluten free. Two different beers are available too. Excellent meal and service!!
I've ordered a guten free hamburger served with fried potatoes. Everything was good but I did not feel very well in the next 2 hours (fortunately restrooms are quite easy to find...). I suppose the potatoes were cross-contaminated.
I ordered the Crab Cakes Benedict. It was DELICIOUS!! They guaranteed no cross contamination, and it was marked GF on the menu for easy locating. Felt great after!
So nice to find a dedicated GF restaurant within walking distance of the American Museum of natural history! I haven’t had fish and chips for years!!!
We love Friedman’s!!!! Today we tried this one in Chelsea Market. The staff was very nice and the gf pancakes were great! Note they don’t have the chicken wings at this location.
I love all the GF options! Pot stickers were very tasty. Chicken sandwich hit the spot...the bun was simply delightful!
Wide choise of gluten free dishes, generous and tasty portions.
This is the Friedman’s in ChelseaMarket. Everything on the menu can be made gluten-free. My daughter with Celiac, who is very sensitive to any cross-contamination, ate safely here. She and her friend had the chicken and waffles which were so so delicious. Highly recommend and very nice service!
Fantastic! Almost everything is gluten free or can be made that way (80% is baseline gf). Very knowledgeable and delicious.
We got to Chelsea Market before the stores started to open so my family decided to eat here for breakfast since I saw so many good reviews, it was delicious and everyone seemed pleased. I ordered the chicken pot stickers (I know that sounds silly for breakfast but) they were so crispy and tasted amazing. Not sure what the sauce they gave me with them was but they were also delicious. 10/10
A must at any of their locations if you have any sort of dietary restriction or allergy. They have always been very accommodating and knowledgeable!
Awesome food, large portions, almost entire menu was GF. ❤👩🍳 our group had pancakes, burgers, shashuka, caprese pesto sandwich, and Mac and cheese. Everyone enjoyed their meals and most had more than they could eat. Dedicated fryer for fries
Amazing amazing amazing. A coeliac’s dream. Whole menu gluten free
Lots of GF options. Menu marked. Staff very knowledgeable about GF and cross-contamination. Dedicated fryer so fries are GF. Got the Rueben sandwich- delicious! Chelsea Market is fun stop.
Great GF menu options. Most of the menu is either GF or modifiable. They have an excellent banana bread and lemon ricotta pancakes that are GF. GF latkes. They will ask about food allergies and the items that have been prepared for the GF diner come marked with a little flag.
Awesome selection of gf items and delicious. The waitstaff sings broadway show tunes and it’s really loud.
I got chicken and waffles and it was extremely delicious. I went with a group of friends and everyone really enjoyed their meals. We sat in front of where they have the menu listed so it was kind of annoying to have many people constantly stopping and staring at the menu right behind us while we ate. My gluten free chicken and waffles portion size was HUGE. It is way too much for a single person to eat, I’d recommend splitting it with someone. They give you a huge cheddar belgian waffle the size of your plate and 4 large pieces of fried chicken, 2 legs and 2 breasts. Dont get me wrong it was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed every bite. We also got some Mac and cheese to share and that was so delicious as well. I could only eat half of my chicken and waffle, and I’m not someone with a small appetite. The waitress and bus boys kept trying to guilt me into getting a box for the rest of my food. We were going out and about that day, we weren’t going directly back to where we were staying so it wouldn’t make sense for me to get my food to go. It would have gone bad. However instead of being accepting of me saying no they kept pushing for me to get a box but I was firm and said no. Listen I hate wasting food and that was not my intention. If the restaurant is reading this please just make the portion size smaller and don’t harass your customers for a box when they already said no.
One of the best gluten free sandwiches I’ve ever had been to a few of their places all great
Omggggg!!! So good and so many options! The food and staff are fantastic!
The pancakes and fried chicken sandwich were so good!!
Almost everything can be made gluten free! I really recommend it!
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!
SO GOOD!!! Basically everything is gluten free, and they are very good about allergies. Filling and delicious.
We were thrilled that so many GF things were on the menu and asked with our server to confirm. Nope. Got glutened.
Highly recommend! Lot of GF options, food was delicious and the place was extremely fun with the singing waitstaff.
Fantastic and delicious! My daughter and I loved every bite! Gf fried chicken and waffles!
Great breakfast - even the pancakes are all gluten free. GF safely marked also.
The restaurant was amazing. Almost everything can be made gluten free. I had the chicken and cheese waffle and cheesecake for dessert. They also have live music.
We had a great breakfast experience here! Very knowledgeable staff. Almost everything GF and they can tell you what is not. Had the delicious banana bread, pancakes, avocado toast and the egg omelette plate! All fantastic!
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!
I will sing this restaurant’s praises for the rest of my life. It is SO GOOD. The gf pancakes are delicious, but stop for lunch/dinner and get the gf fried chicken and waffle. They have a dedicated fryer! You will not regret it!!!
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.
I had the cobb salad. It was huge and tasty They said anything could be made gf. There were things like chicken and waffles on the menu but i didn’t ask any in depth questions.
