Friedman’s At The Edison - American restaurant in New York - 228 W 47th St, USA

The restaurant is located at the Edison hotel in Theatre District .They do take walk ins but I highly recommend making a reservation. This location gets very busy. After we were seated the waitress took our order which was good and the food arrived shortly after. Once we got our food we did not see her again. Getting refills on coffee and water took a bit of effort. Overall all the food was ok and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Let’s start with I went to this location a week ago and we probably went at time before some broadway shows as the wait time was quite long even when you had a reservation. We had a reservation but still took awhile for us to get seated (they did forget about us) but on a good note glad we found a spot at the bar. Also of note, it’s a singing waiters/waitress, the concept is exciting and fun but I could barely hear myself think and talk to my girlfriend peacefully. Onto the food, the food is always amazing and we made the following foods gluten free. Vegetable dumpling most definitely quality dumpling. Grilled cheese with the tomato soup is so simple but my god it was delicious and the pastrami sandwich melted in your mouth, I will get that again for sure. Overall food was good but will go the location in Herald Square.

Fantastic attentive waitstaff. The salmon bowl was good. The pancakes were delicious said my two friends. The impossible burger was fantastic too! You can only split the bill four ways on the credit card machine. Visit here before your Broadway Show. Book your reservation on-line too!

The singing was awesome. Waiters and waitresses were amazing. But that food.....bland is a great description. Fries not seasoned, spinach not seasoned basically like I said bland. Blat missing bacon. If I'm gonna pay $19 for a blat, I'd expect more bacon. Hot chocolate not good at all.... and we were rushed

We went a couple times for breakfast as we were staying at the Edison. They offer free grab and go breakfast with choice of egg and bacon sandwhich, yogurt parfait, fruit, juice, coffee and more. For $5 ypu cam dine in and get choice of French toast with fruit, yogurt parfait or egg breakfast. We also went for lunch and the food was decent. Server was friendly but not very knowledgeable about the menu or items. Maybe he was new. Overall it was convenient and fast.

Good food and quick service by friendly staff. If you stay at the Hotel you may get a $5 voucher for breakfast. With that voucher you can order from a special menu. It's a great deal as opposed to ordering off the regular menu. In either case the food is tasty and arrives hot. The room is a bit noisy but is an elegant old space with lots of ornate plaster work. Too bad when they did the makeover they totally ignored the architecture of the room and selected these awful looking hanging light fixtures and sconces. I have now eaten here three times so I don't really need to say more....

It is a 10/10. We had an amazing american lunch. Comfort food style. It was the best tomato soup I have had in my life. Portions are huge (as most things in America). The waiters are amazing singers. Definitely to the standards of a broadway show. We paid $50 per person (aprox) + tips.

We always find ourselves at Friedman's at the Edison when our family visits Times Square. The simple yet fun environment creates the perfect backdrop for our gatherings. The star of the show, without a doubt, is the must-have breakfast burger. Its combination of flavors leaves our taste buds dancing with joy. Egg, bacon, and a large beef patty. This, paired with the generously sized vanilla shake adorned with a decadent brownie, it's a match made in heaven. Friedman's consistently delivers on both taste and atmosphere, making it our top choice for family outings. The central location in Times Square adds an extra layer of excitement to the overall experience. Five stars without a doubt – a culinary gem in the heart of the city that never sleeps!
