Toast Review

Great veggie options, delicious foods, fantastic service, and delightful decor. Unique and very much worth visiting.

I seriously come here twice a month. Everything is amazing, and the drinks are pretty good. Spicy bloody mary ftw

Service and atmosphere were great but food was hit or miss.

Mediocre food, retro 60 diner with hipster vibe. Good for cheap beers. But as for food you can get better elsewhere for the same price.

Comfort food. Love the decor and style. Specials every week

Interesting food and art. Fun and good place to eat. Breakfast all day.. Expect lines for weekend brunch. Good place for before or after a movie.

First comes, first serves. First time at The Friendly Toast and it was great! It was a great omelette that came with fresh baked cinnamon raisin bread and home fries. Only thing I wanted was more!

We went on a quiet day, but I am sure that this place gets incredibly busy on the weekends, so beware.

The Friendly Toast is essentially a greasy spoon diner, that also sells beer. The food is good, and if you're in the mood for that type of food, is a fine place to go. They have outdoor seating in the summer and a good amount of indoor seating. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and hungry for both breakfast and beer. Otherwise, there are probably better options.

Great food, the waiter didn't know things though. He should know things.

Their breakfast is amazing, I would recommend any of the combo breakfasts and be sure to get the French toast. If you ever get the chance try them out. They didn't hire me, I'll still give them a good review because the food is that good.

Friendly Toast Cambridge- Kerry Ann was an absolutely fantastic server and the food was amazing.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in this area. My favorite is the chicken and waffles. Its sweet, savory and spicy! You can't go wrong with it.

Wide variety of food on the menu, cocktails are quirky and delicious

Awesome decor, crazy food, and a staff covered in eye candy. Can't go wrong with this place. Waiting for a phone call for our customer review ;D

Lots of weird and great menu options. Good Bloody Mary's!

This place is always packed on the weekends, and for good reason. The decor and wait staff can't be beat, and the food is both excellent and plentiful. Reserve a table using the NoWait app before showing up if you want to dodge most of the line. Using the app, waits can be ~5-10 minutes from when you arrive, but if you show up cold it's a 80+ minute ordeal.

This is my favorite brunch location in the Boston area, I can not recommend it enough

Excellent food. Quirky, hipster atmosphere. Nuff said.

Cool little place near Kendall. Used app no avoid long wait time. Otherwise, be prepared to wait over 30m for breakfast/lunch. Food was good tried BLT Benedict, French toast, spicy BLT and tacos. All good and great. While service was good, our party of eleven was seated in a 6~7 place table.

I have been the Friendly Toast many times - most recently this past weekend for brunch with some friends. This is a popular place so you may have to wait a bit, but it is worth it. Prices are reasonable, the menu has a vast array of breakfast foods, and service is good. Quirky decor and outdoor seating in the summer round out this excellent breakfast spot.

Quirky atmosphere, big portions, and very vegetarian-friendly diner.

A location that epitomizes the eclectic demographic of Cambridge + a great, fun menu? YES, PLEASE!!

Food and people are amazing. I actually finished my entire meal which doesn t happen often. Great vibe

The Friendly toast is quintessential Cambridge; warm, hip, and a lot of fun. The people working there are awesome (although if you aren't a fan of tattoos apparently you need not apply) and are super friendly. It's always busy so the service can sometimes be slow but if you have some free time you should enjoy!

While many things have changed from years ago with new ownership, the important core of good food and witty atmosphere remain the same. The bread still rocks and Sklarmageddon still reigns supreme.

Super tasty food, but pretty slow service (food took a long while to get out). Neat atmosphere, and a large menu.

Very creative and delicious food menu, some amazing staff too! Others not so much, during my most recent experience the host was very rude.

I can't rate the food because no one would serve us. We sat at the bar, no one took our food or drink orders. Then we asked to be seated at a table. We waited for 5 minutes and not one server came over, but they were in the restaurant. We dined at the Kendall Square theater instead. Due to the poor service I will not give it a 2nd chance.

A bit expensive, although it's a lot of food and it taste really good.

Good environment but the food needs more seasoning.

I travel here on business occasionally - this is my go-to breakfast place when in town! Quirky decor and friendly staff. Good portions of food for the price.

Seems like a great hungover brunch spot. Fun and funky vibe, rich comfort food and even hair of the dog...like the vodka coffee concoction they have on offer.

Excellent food and teas, great for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

This place is pretty good. Most of the food is good, some is just decent. The decor is funky and fun. On the weekends, the wait will be extreme, guaranteed.

Excellent food, cute atmosphere. French toast was super thick, could have been ok with one piece!

Friendly Toast is a great unique place to go for breakfast. The food is delicious! The place has lots of fun artwork and decor as well which makes the whole experience fun!

This is the place to go if you're looking for an experience! There's lots of old and unique way here. The waitress are nice too and there's something for everyone to eat

We ordered for separate meals at The Friendly Toast, and a side of tater tots. The food took a while (an hour) to come, and in forgiveness our bill ended up being $6! And the food was amazing. Amazing people, diverse community, accepting area, no matter who you are you'll enjoy this restaurant.

What a delightful breakfast! Our server was Nate, and he was super nice, even to our beastly toddlers. He checked on the table frequently for coffee and drink refills and responded to the goofy questions and exclamations of our kiddos. The food itself was pretty awesome, too. My husband got the Kiss My Grits, which included a biscuit, fried chicken thighs, and grits. The grits were really good, even though they were more like a sauce in this dish. I could tell I would have been happy with just a bowl of grits with some eggs and bacon, and we've had a lot of grits below the Mason-Dixon. My choice was the Barbacoa Benny. The eggs were perfectly poached, the biscuits underneath were buttery and tender, and the barbecue-sweet sauce on top balanced the richness of the rest of the dish really nicely. My husband and I ended up switching halfway through so we each got part of the other's meal. Both were awesome. Even the kids' food and the coffee was great. If you're passing through, like we were, give this place a try. Super friendly, unpretentious service, fun, retro decor, and awesome food. I know this place will be one of the places we talk about when we recount our NE road trip. Thanks!

This Place was good and has some wierd vintage advertising boards and ad collections on their wall. The atmosphere seems crowded and stuffy. Food is good. Service was nice.

Overall very nice experience with some wierd advertising

Breakfast that will start your day and keep you going! Food was fantastic.

Great diner chain for brunch or dinner. We went for brunch Sunday morning, and it was packed with a wait, though they do use a convenient notification system for telling you your table is ready. There's a huge variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, many of which are creative and delicious. My only complaints are that the prices are a bit expensive ($12-15) for not a huge amount of food, could leave you a little hungry when you leave. Other than that, the environment of the diner is great and lively and service is great and quick.

Yummy brunch food, eclectic decor. The cinnamon raisin French Toast was great. Pretty crowded, but cozy.

As my baby sings.. 1..2..3... The Friendly Toast. The Friendly Toast!

Breakfast all day and night in a 1950s jet-age atmosphere.

If you'd like a place where the huge variety of food is served in a room adorned with Tom Swift Jr and Nancy Drew book covers on the walls, and 1950s vintage Formica tables, you'll fall in love with the place instantly. A number of vegans and vegetarian dishes are available as well as hamburgers, and fried and not fried chicken. The Cambridge restaurant is just a few feet from the Landmark Theater. Unless you're looking for a more formal dinner, are in a big hurry, or trying to impress a first date or save money, you'll have a great meal.

The food was so delicious very fun food choices, including vegan. It can be a long wait on the weekend and no reservations, so arrive early! It was crowded the day we went and kind of loud. It is worth waiting for! Serving size is big there is a bar with alcohol. Can not adapt well to large parties.

Amazing breakfast but be prepared for wait. It's worth it for the tasty goodies and awesome vibes.

I have always found this place overrated; that plus the long lines to get in mean that I don't really come often. (Cafe luna is better.)

Food coma central. Don't go there if you plan on being productive for the rest of the day

The French Toast was so thick and delicious and the eggs benny was classically yummy! Our waitress was hilarious and our overall experience was very fun.

Make sure you add your group to the waiting list on Yelp about an hour before you expect to get to the diner, otherwise you ll be waiting forever at the front of house.

Fun diner-style restaurant with a modern twist, with lots of spicy options and vegetarian options, and a good beer list. The interior is kind of crazy with all sorts of 50s memorabilia, some of it kind of creepy but still kid friendly.

I bring my family and colleagues here fairly often and everyone is always very happy.

Really good food with a fun and friendly atmosphere.

The long waiting time and the price is not worth it. Chicken and waffles were ok. Home fries were cold

Not sure what the hype was about. Food was decent. Nothing special. The big killer was the bread. If they had legitimate bakery bread, I'd rate them higher.

Came here for Sunday brunch with some out of town friends. I knew there is always a long wait so we tired to get there on the earlier side but event at 11am there was at least a 45+ minute wait. Luckily tables cleared quickly and we were seating in under 30 minutes which was great. The service was very fast and the menu has a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan items. I got the eggs in a hole which comes with your choice of several bread types and you can mix and match which is nice. I also got a side of vegan bacon which was surprisingly good for something I think is hard to really match the real version. The portions are fairly large and the prices are very reasonable so well worth the money. I'll be coming back again for sure, just need to plan a wait!

The surroundings were awesome and the food was great. Coffee was okay. Other places have had better or I would have given it all five stars. It was not bad though.

Great place to grab a vegan or vegetarian meal! The manager tonight was marvelous with his customer service no. The wait staff here is always very friendly and easygoing! We travel far to come to this Friendly Toast. I tried the vegan bacon, vegan sausage and the spiced apple Belgian waffle. We will definitely be visiting soon

I'm not sure why the friendly toast is so popular. The food isn't good. I had an impossible burger there, and it was overcooked and bland. My friends similarly did not enjoy their meals. A party of 8 and the meals were half-eaten. We decided it wasn't worth taking them home.

That area of cambridge has plenty of good food places. Spare your wallet and your taste buds. If you want a nearby diner, try S&S in inman.

I've been three times and I have never walked out satisfied. They've run out of hot chocolate on one of my visits. I've had waiters ignore my table for ages. Bad food, bad service.

Amazing! This just became one of my favorite places. Great food, gluten free, and prepped separately. Plenty of options on the menu too. Breakfast all day! GF bread, pancakes, and many items can be made GF.

Cool restaurant with a very unique atmosphere. It feels like a cross between a retro diner and a punk cafe. Service is fast, the staff is friendly, and there is a very wide selection of tasty food.

Yum yum yum :) well worth the 20 min wait on a Sunday morning. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now. Shout out to Healthy Henry

Excellent breakfast and good burgers. Excellent service.

Great for all types of diets, but often very crowded

Amazing place to have a breakfast or lunch. Superb food

Food was OK. The atmosphere is quite weird (decoration of poor taste).

Such a cute little spot! Breakfast is my favorite meal so the option to have huevos rancheros and margaritas for dinner.....yes please. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is so fun.

fantastic service and excellent food. watch out for the big portions. one of the best breakfast places in Cambridge.

Excellent brunch spot in Kendell square, serving predominantly American cuisine in a diner setting. The ambiance and food are both great.

Fun atmosphere, great vegan options, staff very helpful and friendly!

this place has super eclectic mix of antiques hanging on the walls, and really great food with a friendly staff. The chicken and waffles had a savory sauce which was surprising and delicious.

Great food and great service. Portions are pretty absurd, so come hungry or take home leftovers!
