   We always enjoy our visits to Friedman's and yesterday was no exception. Wonderful pulled pork sandwich for me (a special that night) and my friend had fish tacos (he thought they were too spicy). Wonderful server, Sammy. We are so lucky to have this jewel in our neighborhood! But it can get noisy around dinner time!

   Great neighborhood place for informal dinner. Had the salmon burger. It was better than my home made burger. Very pleasant but can be noisy even at 5-6 hour

   Consistently great food, always trust the glutenfree options here. Please ask servers not to bring a straw unless requested.

   Went to Friedman’s last night for dinner as this is one of our local spots. When we checked in for our reservation, it was noticeable that there was tensions amongst the staff. We got seated after and placed our order. It took over 1 hour for our one sandwich and one salad to come out. Even after asking multiple times, they kept saying “we are working on finishing it up.” Multiple tables came in after us and were finished eating and paid before we even got our food. The waiter was kind enough to send out a dessert on the house, however, this did not make up for the bad experience.

   We went to Friedmans to celebrate a birthday. A couple of us have to be gluten free. Most of the menu can be done. They are very careful and it's clearly marked. The food was very good. Highly recommended.

   Busy on a Friday, GF fried chicken good, but a bit dry. Overall service was ok. Specialty cocktail, not so special.

   Good food and drinks. Menu with both “healthy” and comfort foods. Pleasant staff. Fairly quiet, no real buzz but good conversation. I’d go back.

   I had the calamari special and they were delicious. The spicy aioli had a great kick and the breading was nice and crispy.
