    It took over 20 minutes after we were seated to take our drink order. I ordered the French Dip and it was very fatty, the bread was so soggy when I got my plate I wouldn’t even eat the bread. My latte tasted like an ash tray smells. Overall, a poor experience. We’ve been many times and this was our worst experience.

    Great gluten free food. They were short workers, but our waitress was very sweet and informed us they were short help.

    A little bit overpriced considering the food was not exceptional. I’m sure we could have find better and cheaper pancakes somewhere else.

    The noise level in here is pretty overwhelming. I believe people come more for the loud singing than for the average food. If you enjoy loud but reasonably good singing, this may be the place for you.

    This is the first time we have been to Friedman's since they started the entertainment. The food is still delicious! We had potstickers for appetizer, cobb salad which was deemed one of the best ever and I had a burger. I admit I am a burger snob so was thrilled when it arrived cooked as requested. The singers were really excellent and an enjoyable start to the evening. However, if you are going to have a conversation with your table you will have some problems as the music is fairly loud. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Perfect way to end evening in theater district. Wonderful friendly staff (& TALENTED). Note: if looking for quiet, this is not the place as staff will be walking around singing during your meal. So worth listening though and food was very good moderate price. Enjoyed so much and will definitely be coming back.

    Thrilled with the amount of gluten free options as we have allergies in our family. Food was very good. Service was ok. Only bathroom was in the hotel lobby and very small and very old. Line formed quickly. Would definitely go back for the food and maybe try a different location.
