Friedmans

Nice to find a place like this while traveling in NYC. Literally all but two items could be gf. My came out with a gluten free flag. A lot of dessert options too.

Celiac friendly?

Yummy fried chicken and waffles! I think this was my fiat time getting both of those in a restaurant since being diagnosed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As good as the others around the city. Got the Friedmans burger with the GF bun and herb fries. Will probably check out the pastrami next time.

I may or may not have cried when the waitress brought out my GF FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH FRENCH FRIES!!! Amazing! Felt so good to eat a food I haven’t had so long with absolutely no fears of getting sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My favorite place to go when I’m in the city! One of the owners is celiac so they have lots of options and they’re really good about things not becoming cross-contaminated. Have never had an issue here and I’ve been here probably ten times.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything on their menu (minus Matz balls & Matz ball soup) can be prepared GF. Tons of options. Had the spinach & artichoke dip (was more of a liquid than a dip) and fresh fried corn chips. Pretty bland for a $12 app, but was a huge portion. Had the fried chicken & waffle. Also bland but chicken batter was the best I’ve had in a while. Waffle was fluffy which is hard to come by for GF!! Everything GF comes marked with a orange flag!

Great menu! Lots of gluten free options!

Fantastic, hands down. So good we are here twice! The wait staff is extremely knowledgeable and ask about allergies and gluten preferences up front. All food comes out with designated gluten free flags. By far my new favorite spot in NYC. The lemon ricotta Pancakes are phenomenal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All staff was very knowledgeable, and clarified carefully - 99% of the menu is gluten free including pancakes - my waitress was very helpful, this location is steps from Broadway and very clean. I hope to return!

Love Friedman’s in NYC. Almost all items on menu are gf. Not too many places to get gf pancakes and Belgian Waffles. Daughter has Celiac and she had the gf French toast. Delicious!!!

Run... don’t walk to any of the Friedman’s locations in NYC. This place is 99% GF. The only items that contain gluten is the toast/bread/buns, matzo balls, and pita bread. EVERYTHING else is GF... all the waffles, pancakes, fried chicken, fried pickles is GF. The fryer is ONLY GF! HEAVEN!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Expensive and not very tasty. I would spend my money elsewhere

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate the fried chicken and cheddar waffles with habanero honey. I repeat...fried chicken and waffles!!!!!! It was AMAZING (I may have cried a little)! There’s only one thing on the menu w gluten. I’ll be back and I highly recommend!!!!! I’m a happy celiac!

UPDATE: I’ve returned twice with no problem. The food is amazing!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was amazing! Only 2 things that couldn’t be made HFN. We ate two dinners and a breakfast here because there were so many options!! We will certainly be back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

99% of the menu can be made GF. The wait staff was knowledgeable too and steered us away from possible cross-contamination with the French toast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

99% gluten free menu, confirmed on their menu! Try the tomato soup, it’s unreal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gluten free pancakes! A lot of options

Delicious! Menu states 99% of items can be made gluten free. Food clearly marked with a flag upon arrival. I recommend the oatmeal walnut pancakes.

The menu is 99% gluten free. The selection is fantastic and the servers are great. The food was delicious! GF flags come in food for extra assurance. Would definitely come back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Go, go, go. Went three times on my visit. Everything I ate there was delicious. Started with Chicken and Waffles. Wow! Also tried the pastrami Reuben. The pot stickers were fantastic. Also tried the chicken sandwich and fries. The chicken was a little small but overall tasty. The only thing I didn’t care for was the dough on the fried pickles!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved my waffle and bacon. The staff is amazing

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hostess was unbelievably rude. Bartender was very nice. Ordered take out from the bartender. Got back to the hotel and the “turkey” burger was beef. The rest of the food we ordered was good and no problems for the celiacs in the group. Just not the best service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This restaurant is fabulous! Staff really helpful and large variety of GF options. Awesome for breakfast lunch or dinner, adults or kids and coffee is great too 😀

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was amazing. We came here on January 1st, in the evening after a show. It was not packed with people and the menu was extensive. It states on the bottom of the menu that 99% of the food can be made gluten free. I have been craving chicken and waffles and they were divine. I also shared a lemon ricotta pancake for dessert. The prices for what we ordered were steep, even for gluten free, therefore only the 4 stars. However the taste was amazing and the selection was even better.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the most AMAZING gluten free Mac and cheese here!! It was really decently priced and felt 100% safe eating here! Food was fabulous and since it was my birthday, I got a dessert (brownie, ice cream, hot fudge, magic shell, etc.). Totally was worth the wait (about 20-30 minutes).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had waffles and vegan chilaquiles. Both were delicious and tested gluten free with Nima. Highly recommended place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My girlfriend and her boys are Celiac. Came in to the city for the day and wanted to find a safe place for them to eat. Friedmans did not disappoint. We all left happy and full. Almost entire menu is GF. No reactions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sensational! GF flags come in food so extra measure of confidence. Food is varied and delicious. Had lemon ricotta pancakes and potato pancakes- yum!

WOW! I can’t believe I didn’t come here sooner. Everything on their menu can be made gf except for pita bread and matzah. There are just so many options like mac and cheese, salads, burgers, chicken and waffles, pancakes, and basically everything you can think of! We ordered two mezze plates that were delicious. Instead of pita bread, we had warm corn tortillas and tortilla chips. Everything that goes in their fryer is gluten free! And, there entire dessert menu is gluten free, including three different types of pie! All the food comes out with an orange pick that said gluten free. Best restaurant ever!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Staff was knowledgeable and friendly - our celiac family member loved the waffles. Very busy Saturday night and the service was fast - great experience overall.

Celiac friendly?

My Celiac son LOVED his fried chicken and waffle! So delicious. The restaurant is very celiac safe and about 90% of their menu is gluten free. Highly recommend. Only downer is that the dish was $27. Pretty steep for this Virginia gal. Oh well....everything is expensive in NYC.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic Thanksgiving dinner even stuffing and pumpkin pie. They know celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

WOW!!!! We were almost in disbelief that we could get pretty much everything on the menu gluten free,YOU CAN!!!!!! Fish taco, hamburger, PANCAKES, even thanksgiving dinner was all amazing. Please open a restaurant in Tampa, Florida!!!!!!!!!!!

What an incredible place! The server said: “This is THE place to eat for celiacs.” Music to our ears. Everything but two two menu items can be made GF. They have so many options for both breakfast and lunch. We will be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff were very friendly and as soon as I mentioned I was a coeliac they knew instantly what I could/couldn’t have. Have been there twice in two days to two different Friedman’s and both 5 star, even my husband had the same as me and he said ‘we’re going back here for breakfast tomorrow’! Definitely a go to if your coeliac or even if your not.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff. Great breakfast

Celiac friendly?

Best restaurant I’ve eaten in since being Coeliac for chose of food across the whole menu as it all GF and if not they will make it. Also food was lovely and staff so friendly and helpful! Recommend this and wish we had one in the UK!

Fab light meal before a Broadway show. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Celiac friendly?

Amazing!!!!!! Delicious hash browns!

I was disappointed that the pancakes and other breakfast items were not an option since it is a shared griddle. But the waffle maker is GF. I did think the waffles had a bitter after taste however.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had their gf waffle. Fluffy and delicious! Comes with fresh berries and real whipped cream. I’ll be back!

We were in NYC for a long weekend and very happy to find this really great restaurant with a large Gluten Free menu. We found it on Find Me Gluten Free and the fact that they had a large banner sign with "Gluten Free" on it right near the door encouraged us to give it a try. Most of the menu items are already made with Gluten Free ingredients and the staff is very knowledgeable about GF options and Celiac Disease. We stopped in for a late dinerr after a show and didn't realize it was near their closing time. The staff was welcoming, made us a great meal, and didn't rush us. We'll be back next time we're in town. I wish we had found it sooner so we could have stopped in for brunch. The Brunch menu has an amazing selection of Gluten Free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had the most amazing meal here. If your in NYC and gluten free do not miss this restaurant. My son and I are both celiac and they accommodated us without a blink. The friend pickles were delicious. I also loved the pastrami Ruben. The bread was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the kale salad with salmon, which was delicious and just the right size. No reactions afterwards. The server said they can make all but a few items gluten free, so there are lots of choices. It’s also right across the street from the Richard Rodgers theater, so a great choice for dinner before a show!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Most everything is GF! Mac and cheese and fried dumplings are delish! Fried chicken over waffle amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chicken and waffles was fantastic. Also, had a falafel burger that was good. 99% of the menu is GF. Hope to go back for the pancakes. Breakfast is served all day.

Celiac friendly?

Excellent, had blintz. Felt great after!
