The Friendly Toast

Great food and service. Love the menu and the mimosa flights are the best. Highly recommended 10/10 Emma was a great server!

Egg rolls were great!

I have been to the Friendly Toast more times than I can count over the past 3 decades. This is by far the worst service I ever had. It took a long time for our server to come to our table to ask me what I wanted to drink. I was waiting for a friend and I really wanted a hot cocoa (it was cold outside). It took a while for my hot cocoa. The whipped cream was already melted by the time she brought it to me. Then we ordered home fries as a starter. Which never came. The food took a while to come out. My waffle fries were cold. Our server spent a lot of time chatting with the cooks in the kitchen. She only came to our table after our first bite of food to see how it was. She dropped off the check. She did not charge us for the home fries. Then my friend went to the restroom then I did. Thinking that our server came back to the table to collect the check. She never came back. Luckily we paid in cash. On our way out she was walking back into the restaurant with a shopping bag.

Unfortunately, one of my favorite places completey disappointed with the hostess and manager's passive aggressive attitude for their mistake. I completely understand an extended wait for a large group of 7. I placed us on the waitlist and was told there would be a phone call from a CA number when the table is ready and the entire party has to be present to be seated. No issue there, so our party stayed outside. I received a text message to watch status in queue via Yelp. Our group was second in line and had a window for expected seating. Then there was a message via the Yelp app monitor saying delay. Again, no issues there I understand wait times can be delayed. I never received a phone call but received a text stating you were taken off the wait list and if this is mistake please let us know. I went to the hostess who immediately blamed me saying the full party never "checked back in." I showed my phone and explained I never received a call or notification that the table was ready. I was very rudely told that we never cheked back in so will go back on the waitlist. There was no apollogy or acknowlegement of her mistake. When I said this is unexceptable answer to put us back on the bottom of the waitlist after waiting for over 45 mins. Instead of offering solutions I had to request 2 separate tables as an alternative. The manager then butted in and very passive aggressively said we just gave you two tables "ahead of everyone" when you didn't check in. It was very disappointing and rude from a place I always loved to patron because of excellent food and servers/waitstaff. I will not be going back.

Great, fun filled space. Food and service was awesome. A bit loud due to limited space but will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious

Get in line online early! It'll reduce your wait Lots of French toasted options--very fun!
