Douglas EllimanJuly 23, 2014Don’t be fooled by the name, this awesome spot in Chelsea Market serves incredible breakfast and dinner. We were amazed by their gluten-free options: sandwiches, pancakes and fried chicken!
Serious EatsMay 2, 2013For a more quiet respite in the Chelsea Market, head to Friedman's for sandwiches and more. Those with gluten sensitivities take note: many of these options are gluten free.
Ms HeleneDecember 30, 2012Worth the wait - farm fresh and flavorsome. Brown Rice bowl was simply stunning. How did they make something seemingly so basic, taste so good? Grilled chicken salad was also smoky and charred well.
Roger RJune 28, 2016Can't say enough about Chelsea Market...soooo good. This place shines for breakfast or brunch. Avocado toast with poached egg..mmmmm!!
Andrew ChoiFebruary 2, 2014Their grilled cheese is one of the best I've had in NY. If you're here for brunch, order their shrimp & grits if they're in season.
Conor KellyDecember 4, 2013Whoever left the tip to get it to go and eat on the high line was spot on! Forget the wait to get seated--although it might take a bit of effort to find a seat on the high line.
Dion BarelaSeptember 21, 2014Great food, good drinks. Their service can use some improvement though as they made us 15 minutes after being seated to let us order (transition to night menu was their excuse).
Aleena WeeOctober 13, 2012The reuben is amazing.The Southwestern Turkey burger was perfectly cooked, and the patty well seasoned & moist. The tomato soup is one of the best I've tasted. However, the Mac & Cheese can be better- April DitoMarch 28, 2015The grilled cheese on gluten free bread and tomato soup is to die for! I finally found my favorite meal in a gluten free variety.
- Andrew ChoiAugust 12, 2015Get their grilled cheese with the tomato soup. Throw a beer on the side. Solid meal every time.
Ina LiMarch 2, 2016Fresh OJ, mushroom toast and chilaquiles. Affordable option for a quick meal in Chelsea
ᴡ KrishnanApril 17, 2014Loved everything here.. the brown rice bowl substituted with quinoa and grilled chicken is a lot of food, yet quite healthy..
MichelleOctober 15, 2012Great gluten free menu options! Had the salmon salad and brussels sprouts. Do not pass up the brussels sprouts! Salad was incredible as well.
Chris SteeleMarch 5, 2016Come before 10am on a weekend to beat the brunch rush. Or just tuck in your elbows and wait.
Harriet TaylorJuly 7, 2013So many gluten free options! You don't have to sacrifice anything to eat gluten free here- the options are numerous and delicious!!
Kristen SymondsApril 29, 2014Great staff and food! Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu.
Andreas KüffnerAugust 30, 2015I really loved the burger: medium, bacon, avocado, Gruyere cheese (!!!) – just perfect
Chez OngJanuary 26, 2014My favs are the Vegetable bowl, turkey chili, and lamb burger. When they have the fried chicken that's really good!
Dee PhunkDecember 24, 2010Fancy schmancy comfort food. Was pleasantly surprised @ how good the food was. The pulled pork sandwich w/ apricot BBQ sauce was so good I almost slapped our waiter across the restaurant.- Love their brown rice bowl with chicken! Add a little hot sauce and it's unbeatable. The edemame is a nice touch.
The Corcoran GroupMay 27, 2011Are you gluten-free? Then you simply must come here for brunch/lunch and try the Pastrami Hash or the Nova Bunny or the Fried Chicken.
MrsCorksterJuly 26, 2015Gluten-free choices and a casual vibe on weeknights make this a reliable, low-key dinner option.
cheryl luseJuly 28, 2013This place has the best Rueben I have ever had ( the pastrami rueben) so I came back to have it again.
Jake ClementsJanuary 31, 2018Share a massive grilled cheese sandwich and get some soup on the side. The tomato soup tasted like liquid lasagne, delish
Hande OynarSeptember 28, 2013Wow! Fried Chicken with a side of mac'n cheese, and shaved Brussel Sprouts with pecorino. So good.
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014The pastrami is amazing here -- easily the best thing on the menu. Pretty decent burger.
Jeff ForbesAugust 17, 2013For some reason no one is mentioning the chicken and waffles, which is real solid. Get it and thank me!
Lau BonoraDecember 31, 2014The vegetables wok is amazing ! Try it with quinoa! The staff is very kind!
Richard AngliongtoSeptember 6, 2014Pancakes with a side of extra crispy bacon FTW. Skip the home made chicken sausage
Jonny McCormickSeptember 11, 2016The fried chicken sandwich is transformational. Is is one of the tastiest thing I've ever eaten!
Luiz CittonApril 17, 2013MUST Try: Friedman's burger, rare with bleu cheese sauce. Heaven in a chunk of meat. <3
Mehmet TuranSeptember 4, 2011Excellent mussels, haven't aren't such a souce, little bit of spice and you just have to ask extra bread to dip in that souce
Timothy KendallDecember 3, 2011Great food. Just make sure you're ordering EXACTLY what you're asking for because if something's wrong they won't do anything about it. Old NYC customer service.
silas shabMay 14, 2018Had breakfast there at 8 am lovely food. Music too loud for early morninh though
Andrew KarasAugust 13, 2011Chicken and waffles is so good! Spicy and sweet! And you can get it gluten free for $2.50 more.
Maddy TofanelliMarch 27, 2013B.A.L.T is probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Got with turkey, delicious.
Food and service is good. Fish tacos and brisket burger is delicious.
Amanda LegeneApril 8, 2012Garden veg sandwich. Tofu scramble. Perfect every time! Service is memorable and friendly
So good! Obsessed with the Cobb salad and salmon plate 😊
Pamella GachidoJune 22, 2012the veggie burger is a great call! and the service is always good, everyone is really sweet!
Order the Reuben sandwich. It's the best I've discovered in the city so far. Also, try the fries and ask for their herb aioli.
