About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Gluten-free-friendly
Please note that Friedmans happily accepts walk in parties at all times everyday. We unfortunately do not take reservation for lunch or brunch hours, so please come in to get seated or be added to our wait list.

Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. To put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.”

Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

    Great place for anyone looking for gluten free food. Just about everything is or can be made gluten free. It all tastes great. Try the banana bread. Service staff is very attentive, pleasant and helpful. It does get busy but it's worth it.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Friedman’s 31st! We arrived a little early and they were able to see us right away. The staff was extremely friendly! My daughter has many food allergies, but Friedman’s labeled everything! They have such an incredible selection of gluten-free food, I highly recommended for anyone with celiac or gluten intolerance. Another fantastic Friedmans! We will be back!
