I would drive up from Boston just for the Pumpkin Pancakes. The atmosphere is great with grandma's dinette sets, Americana on the walls, anything you could possibly want on a multi-page menu, young friendly tattooed waiters. The food was just Great! I would give this place the five star, except for the coffee. The coffee is that dishwater diner stuff.... more

Really creative breakfast choices. Always a wait on the weekends. However, don't drink the coffee. more

My husband and I recently drove to Maine and we stopped at the Friendly Toast on the way up. We liked it so much that we stopped again on the way home. The food and service was great. On our return trip we were even there during the Sunday lunch rush and we still had good service. We tried the... more

Although the shakes and smoothies were good, our waiter was extreamely rude. It ruined the whole experience. Not sure if he was just having a bad day, but he wasn't "friendly" at all! The place has a unique decor, but seems a bit dirty. We will not go back. I was very disappointed. more

If you craved brunch or breakfast food while you're in Portsmouth, this is probably where I'd go again. However, despite the wide selection of menu items and amazing frappes they offer, the breakfast/brunch entrees they offer are average. There are plenty of other places around the nation that offer similar quality and quantity foods at a cheaper cost. There simply... more

There are several much better breakfast places in Portsmouth but Friendly Toast is a fun place to eat. The food definitely isn't worth the long wait on a weekend, especially during the summer when the tourists pack the place. more

I drive 3hrs from VT to the seacoast when I crave homefries- the best! Just enough softness, crunch, and a little unexpected spiciness. The menu is long and there are choices for everyone; very vegetarian friendly. Try the NH's Finest scramble w/Anadama bread toast or a gigantic burger. Inventive specials and the urban/retro look and feel make it a fun... more

I've been going to the Friendly Toast for years since it began in a ultra tiny space in Dover and the owner would wear a fuzzy, white skirt. Try the Matt #2, it's my favorite! more
