Great GF restaurant in the theater district! Enjoyed brunch before a show. Then went back for take out for the ride home. The majority of their menu is gf. Other items can be made GF if ordered that way.

Plenty of options on the menu, pancakes were dry even with a lot of syrup but nice to have the option for GF

Almost everything can be made gluten free. They bring out the food with a flag that says it is gluten free as well. The chocolate chip pancakes were delicious!

98% GF!! All but two items, that day! A VERY HAPPY 9yo (Celiac) ordered the S’mores Milkshake, and Avocado toast. All GF plates are labeled with a flag! Super kind staff. We walked-in no problem. A great go-to.

At the bottom of each menu, it says that most dishes can be made gluten free! I ordered their Mac and cheese prepared gluten free, and it was wonderful! Severs asked if it was celiac or preference and were very knowledgeable! Loved this place!

You can’t go wrong with Friedman’s. This is the 2nd location my celiac daughter and I have eaten at and it’s been amazing both times. Items come out flagged as GF and the menu tells you to let them know if you ordered GF and don’t have a flag on your food. Plenty of variety and tasty dishes

First … the hostess is so rude. She has zero people skills! RUDEEEE! If this place didn’t have such healthy options for my celiac daughter I would have left. The other hostess (gentleman) saw it and went out of his way to help us. He saw how rude she was. So just beware!

Food was delicious. Service was great. So safe. Grilled cheese - my daughter said was the best she ever had. Tomato soup as well. Spinach dip … that too was amazing. We had the potstickers … those were a little hard so we sent them back.

Excellent for GF awareness and even label your plate with a flag to make sure no errors are made by staff and help us feel confident that they are paying attention. However this is not only GF and still quite expensive for breakfast.

I think all Celiac or food allergy people can relate, but when you can find a restaurant that makes you feel safe about eating while traveling, you are so grateful! When that restaurant also makes it so you don’t feel like you’re missing out at all because pretty much every item on their menu can be made gluten free, you just want to hug the owner :) Friedman’s at The Edison has always been that place for us. We ate here both nights that we visited NYC last week because not only can almost everything on the menu be made gluten free, but everyone in our family found many items to choose from that they loved to order. I mean, my gluten free kids could order shakes for dessert! And to top it off, this location hires professional singers and Broadway touring performers as servers, so in the evenings, you get Broadway-level entertainment!! Our server the first night is actually leaving to go on tour with “Come From Away” next month and took a picture with my kids, both theatre obsessed! You can’t top that! We’ve eaten here twice recently and several times in years past and I’ve never been sick and I’m very sensitive!

This will be on the list of must visit restaurants while in New York! I’ve missed pastrami and while the gf rye wasn’t great, the pastrami was! Also had the gf cheesecake and it’s been over 10 years since I’ve had any. This was exceptional. My non gf party were just as happy with their sandwich and desserts. We did delivery which was fast and everything was perfect.

I don’t think I have ever been so excited to write a review about a place! We ordered a bunch of things to share and everything was unreal! We had Sweet Potato fries (9/10), Brussel sprouts (11/10!!), wings (10/10) pot stickers (10/10) and spinach and artichoke dip (8/10). I also had the spicy mamita mocktail which was amazing!!!

The singing waiters was different so if you’re looking for a quiet venue to chat or catch up… plan accordingly.

Wow! My belly is full and I'm so content. Our server tonight was Katryna; she was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and cooking practices- and she has celiac, too, so she knew how important it is! I had the fried chicken and cheddar waffle with habanero honey- I haven't been this full in a long time. Katryna also explained nearly everything on the menu can be made gluten free if it isn't already. Highly recommend if you're near Times Square and/or theater district!

Service subpar. All Friedman’s are safe for gluten free. I find the food very good at all the locations but this Friedman’s never picks up the phone and when they do it’s typically a long hold time or they just hang up.

It's hard to be picky when you have Celiac Disease, but I feel like it needs to be said. It's nice that mostly everything on the menu can be gluten free. I had the GF fried chicken and didn't have a reaction, but it was incredibly dry and hard to finish. It also wasn't marked that it's bone-in chicken, which can be a turn off for some people (including myself). The potato hash was very thick so only a small part of it had a crisp to it. The rest was almost mush. On top of it all, it was very overpriced - my 3 pieces of rather small GF chicken was almost $20, plus the hash alone was almost $10. Overall, a bit disappointing.
