Sit down. Gawk at all the weird stuff on the wall. Order the DGGC (Damn Good Grilled Cheese) with sweet fries. Add a chocolate and peanut-butter frappe to compliment it. Devour. Tip well. Be done.
The Friendly Toast offers many other good things on the menu but ever since I tried the DGGC I can't escape it. I promise if you follow those instructions above you will know satisfaction.
There is a newer location at Kendall Square in Cambridge MA too. -

It is a glorified, expensive diner. Went for a 'date night' with my man, his choice of course, what woman would choose to have a date here?
I actually ended up enjoying my meal, I got 'the matt' sandwich, homemade bread, cream cheese, black beans, corn salsa, avocado, overall, toasty and tasty. Oh yeah, the orleans style fries were good too. On the other hand, bf got a burger and onion rings, which were both obviously not made fresh. Drinks were good, service was ok.
Bill was $60, so not even a cheap date night, for mediocre food. -

This place used to be great back in the day, but over the years it's become over-rated and overpriced. (Seriously, like, $10 or 12 I think for a sandwich.) The service is poor because everyone is too "hip" and "cool" to be bothered to pay attention. Some of the food is good, but it's hit or miss. The almond joy pancakes are delicious, the matt sandwich (I think its the one with asparagus and brie cheese?) is really good, too, and esp with onion rings.
Pro: open late night, big menu, good shakes and cola comes in a can (always tastes better).
Con: Overpriced, not that clean, has been shut down a few times due to health codes and/or because they always seem to be behind in rent. -

Craving a good, hearty, greasy, neo-hippie style breakfast, we stopped by the other day. My new favorite is the Ginger Waffle Sandwich. No grease, but perfect for any time of day.

The only thing I didn't like about the Friendly Toast was the freaky old dolls everywhere. The food was GREAT. The portions where huge and the staff was friendly, got my order correct and where not pushy. I hate the waitress that comes over every 10 minutes to bother me, they won't do that. My burger was perfectly cooked and I am still craving the home fries. If you take the Friendly Toast for granted, try moving away to someplace like California and you will think twice.

When I lived in New Hampshire this was a common spot in a cool little town to go have breakfast. Now that I'm in LA I still crave my breakfasts here. It's a spot I never miss when I am out for a trip.
One of the best things about this place is the specials. Your never know what you'll get the flavors are awesome. Things you wouldn't normally put together. For instance the Bleu Cheese French Fries with Strawberry Habanero Dip is to die for. If you go on the weekends be prepared to wait. The service can be a little slow at times but I have often heard the waiters say they are understaffed and I know how that is! No matter what it's always worth the wait. So here's the run down
Breakfast:
Pumpkin Pancakes, Caribbean or Hansel and Gretel waffle are so ridiculously good it should be illegal.The Greek Scramble is my absolute favorite.
Lunch
Crazy quesadilla, The Matt ( whoever this guy is it's possible I'm in love)
The have great smoothies and Frappes not to mention a full bar, Heck Ya
Finally last but not least their B.A. decor. Sweet old board games, superman hanging from the ceiling, Retro lamps at every table. Nice little oddities everywhere. Can't Beat It..... -

Quirky, down to earth atmosphere. You go to a diner type restaurant and you get diner food. The food was a bit greasy but there are healthy options and many choices. I ordered a bloody mary and my palet was not too pleased, but the food made up for it.
If you stop in I recommend the mat or a smoothie. The smoothies are huge and delicious.
If you have small children they will be easily entertained by the array of odd decorations and the toilet seats made of candy (this is not a recommendation for your children to lick the toilet seat) -

I kinda popped in here meeting some friends and didn't actually get to sample the food. :( But can I just say... this place has the craziest collection of kitschy stuff? It's like every piece of art/poster/lamp/wall decoration has been hand picked for it's stupendous ugly weirdness. The Friendly Toast is like a lint roller for bizarre junk.
Props, guys. Props. I admit, My curiosity is piqued. I'll be back.
But not tomorrow or anything, cause New Hampshire is far away and stuff. -

Seriously, that was one EXCELLENT breakfast. yes, it's fun and kitschy inside, and kind of hipster-ironic in the way that Portsmouth likes to be. But aside from that, it's really good food at a good price. I had the local breakfast omelet-- a slow food dream with local goat cheese. Yum. Crowded, loud, but comfy. Great for kids and families, or brunch with your hungover buddies. Or keep the buzz with a Bloody Mary. Great place!

The Friendly Toast is a real gem! The service is great, and the decor made my breakfast even better, as i got lost in nostalgia for my childhood.
I had an egg sandwich served with what may be the best home fries I've ever had -- cut like thick chips with just enough crunch and real potato flavor. Also tried the huevos rancheros - slightly different style in that it was served on a piece of bread, but topped with lots of fresh avocado and salsa.
If you're in Portsmouth, you should definitely go to The Friendly Toast! -

Fantastic place to go! Loved the decor- there was always something to look at and talk about. The food was delicious. Serving sizes were very generous as well. The one in Cambridge, MA is great as well!
They have a few gluten free substitutions as well. -

I think it should be called the unfriendly toast! Rude indifferent service, when we walked in I said a table for two, the matradee picked up two menus and walked of, dropped them on a table as she passed on her way to the back of the restaurant. I realized we where to sit where she had dropped the menus. Not a word was spoken. The male waiter was more friendly. The food was very good may be a little too salty.

I like the Friendly Toast. I had a breakfast burrito for dinner with a beer. It was quite tasty. I'd give the breakfast burrito three and a half stars. I do think the burrito needed a bit more zip. It is a burrito after all.
The staff was well friendly. In fact, our server was fun. The atmosphere at Friendly Toast is eclectic. I loved it. You could spend a good hour just looking at all the stuff they have collected. Rumor has it the toast is for sale. I guess they have locations in Portsmouth and in the Boston area.
You have to like the name and the food is good, combined with the atmosphere and a staff which is having some fun it is recipe for success. I'm a fan and give the toast four stars. -

Vegetarians: The Green Eggs and Ham, sans ham, may look crazy, but it's tasty. It's two poached eggs on crispy toast, topped with a creamy green sauce that's very heavy on the dill.
They also serve fake vegetarian bacon! It's crispy. I think it's just your standard Morningstar-type frozen stuff. But I appreciate that it's on the menu.
This place is so dark, and so full of odd taxidermy and kitsch, it looks more like a bar than a breakfast joint. Our waiter wore black, and some fierce tattoos. He looked like a rock star. What was he doing awake so early in the morning? -

Ok. I'm getting over my past love for the Toast. It was great when I was in high school, visits during college breaks and so on. But my past visit it just became superbly subpar. First off, I ordered a special, come to find out after the fact it was sold out, and I was rushed to find something else to order instead. I paid 12 bucks for a slice of bread, piece of chicken, unripened tomato slices and bland avocado sauce? They've downsized on the homefries portions.
The one thing I can say that they always, always stay consistent on? The poor service. I get it, our guy his head was in the clouds. But really, you could not first write down my original order correctly. Then come back to ask me what I wanted (like bacon/sausage whatever) with my first original wrong order, to find out I wanted special #1 not #3. Comes back to tell me it is sold out. I pick SOMETHING ELSE, and he comes back to me AGAIN because he forgot to ask me what side I want.
I'm pretty much over you.
Guy, you're lucky I used to waitress, you're lucky I'm kind and you still got 20% even after all your mishaps. But not going to lie, if my cousin didn't order king cakes and they did not sweep me under my feet. I would have not tipped you.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I'm sorry but I have no idea why everyone raves about this place. First of all the service was terrible. The waitress took about a half hour to bring us our bill at the end of the meal. The omelet I ordered was terrible. I got some omelet with avocado and cheese and other stuff in it....the omelet had more avocado in it than eggs! I like avocado but I don't want my omelet to be just avocado. The toast was good but nothing to brag about. My boyfriend got some type of pancakes that coast 8 dollars and the portion was TINY....it was like two little pieces of pancakes.
Maybe we just went on an off day there but I was not impressed at all. -

Every time we come for a weekend, The Friendly Toast is on the agenda for either Saturday or Sunday breakfast. The first time we came I got the chorizo/sweet potato/egg thing that kicked butt! Unfortunately, I didn't even make a dent in it...the second time I was lame and got two scrambled/toast/HF. Their homefries are true homefries, they are crispy, tender, loaded with flavor and cooked to perfection. This last visit I had the morning scrambler...YUM!! It rocked and was the best choice so far...didn't eat the tortillas but the eggs were awesome. I love the homebread feature and this time I tried the special Parmesan/pepperoncini bread for my toast. We spilt the fruit bowl/yogurt and homemade granola...Yum!! My friend got the burrito and said it was delicious. My husband's breakfast was delicious as well. There usually is a line and on Saturday at 10:00 am we got right in, tried again on Sunday and couldn't even get in the door. Our waitress was friendly, funny and attentive although one time we were there we got the bum's rush. Overall, you HAVE to try it...just to check out some of the time-warp memorabilia floating around there. Next visit I will try it for lunch.

After spending a girls night out in Portsmouth, the Friendly Toast was the perfect way to refuel on a Sunday morning. Some reviews said that it was nothing special, didn't live up to the hype, gimmicky, etc. I had never heard of this place before, and I thought it was pretty good.
The homemade bread served as toast was delicious - I tried the cinnamon raisin and the cheddar cayanne. Huge and delicious. I would have liked to try their pumpkin raisin but they're just so big!
The home fries are good- thinly sliced and cooked with onions- but were a bit on the spicy side for my friend, who isn't a fan of anything spicy.
I got the Guy Scramble with egg whites: black beans, salsa, and avocado. I typically stick to traditional breakfast but this was very good. I loved the combination, although the avocado was a little under ripe (but hey, its November in New England). The salsa gave it a nice kick, and i didn't have to add ketchup like I usually do with my eggs.
The service wasn't the greatest, and maybe they should hire a few more servers..I feel that I shouldn't have to flag someone down to ask for a coffee refill. But I think that the cute waiters and the fun atmosphere made up for it, and it didn't ruin my experience.
I'd definitely go there again. -

As always, don't take 3 stars as being bad! 3 stars means A-OK and that's what The Friendly Toast was to me.
The atmosphere is crazy, weird decor but I liked it. As you scour the walls with your eyes, you notice some really weird (some creepy) stuff but that's cool. The waitstaff was predominantly tatted up and/or hipsters. Cool.
I got the Sklarmageddon. It was just OK. It was an "omelet" with a bunch of meats and pecans (wtf?) inside it - bacon, sausage, ham, etc. You'd think this was great for a carnivore like myself but it was very plain jane. It didn't mesh well together; normally, these all-meat omelets are awesome. This one, not so much.
Fiancee had the Eggs Benedict but with corned beef hash instead of ham. Great dish. Their hash is on par with a good breakfast joint and the hollandaise was made correctly.
Huevos Rancheros were not a big hit with my other friend. It was more like Huevos avocados with a little bit of everything else. Hard for avocado to overpower a dish so you can imagine how much there was.
Their in-house bread is AMAZING though. I should have brought a loaf back.
I'll go back here on my next visit to Portsmouth but only because there isn't much open in the way of breakfast! -

I had this review saved, but not submitted, but I still remember the yummy goodness and the ambiance when I had breakfast there three years ago. Maybe it's because I proposed to my wife in New Hampshire that makes everything so memorable. :) Nonetheless, great place to get your breakfast fix if you're out there, but be sure to give yourself some buffer time because of the service. Only reason I didn't give 4 stars to this place is because I felt the waitress wasn't so friendly and she LAGGED! There were only a few people in the restaurant too! WTH?!
All in all, it's an a-ok place. Food was good and tasty, but it just goes to show how important service is to the whole dining experience.
Happy eating my friends!

Walking around downtown Portsmouth we passed by the Friendly Toast and had to stop and look in. The decor is so whimsical and crazy inside, almost like all the old toys my grandma has hidden in the basement of her house exploded all over the walls. We decided that we just had to come back in the morning for brunch, so we did.
It wasn't too busy so we sat at a booth and had a cup of coffee. After looking over the menu, we decided to order 2 dishes and split them. My other half decided on the Smoked Salmon Benedict and then suggested we try the Sklarmageddon, which we did! (If you watch Man vs. Food he's been here and eaten this).
While they were both good, the Smoked Salmon Benedict was my favorite. Delicious! The Sklarmageddon was pretty good as well! Big omelet with lots of meat inside. The Toast that came with the omelet was Amazing! -

There is a reason the Friendly Toast has 4 of 5 stars. Because they are always SOOOO Busy. I dont think I have ever gone there without waiting at least 30 min.
There is a reason for the wait. Everything I have ever had here is AWESOME. Very different kind of retro and diner like atmosphere with mostly hippie employees. (Usually not my thing) But these waiters and waitresses accomadate anything for your liking and they give you great quick service and never have a screw up. -

Great breakfast place.
Expect to wait in line, this place is always packed. However, our wait was not too long, 30 minutes with so many surrounding little shops to browse--no complaints for me!
The decor here is hilarious. So many fun (and some creepy!) things to look at. I wonder where they even get some of the cool things they have in there--like the giant toy soldiers.
Service was a little slow and a few things were missing from our order, but they were very very quick to make it right once we asked for it. $4.50 LARGE mimosas...where else can you find that?? My Huervos Rancheros was ah-mazing. Homefries were some of the best I've had. Everyone at my table loved their food and left very content.
I am rarely in Portsmouth but if I go back I will definitely come back for brunch! yum! -

The whimsical atmosphere and kitschy retro americana paired with delicious breakfast make this place a favorite in my book!
I'm a die hard breakfast enthusiast and I just loved going to a place bursting with personality and good eats :)
Definitely worth going out of your way for if you find yourself in Portsmouth, but make sure you go out of you way early as good news travels fast and this place gets crowded quick! -

By far the best breakfast place in Portsmouth food wise.
You can order it all day, but if you go at actual breakfast time (namely 9-12ish on Saturday or Sunday) prepare to wait. (waiting is outside too). Needless to say, there's always a crowd of people huddled on the sidewalk here.
They make their bread there every day. If you sit near the kitchen you can smell it baking and you start to drool. They probably have 5-6 choices at any given time and all the toast you get is about an inch thick. The only thing missing from their menu is an actual "toast sampler" of what they have fresh baked that day. (you'll just have to order them individually). I go here just for this. Pizza bread is awesome, as is the cayenne cheddar. But other notable dishes include the gingerbread waffle, the pumpkin pancakes with raisinettes in them, the almond joy pancakes (Chocolate and coconut), not to mention the page of omelette creations as well. Wicked good grilled cheese sandwiches too.
You get a lot of food here. One pancake is enough for a whole meal. If you go with a bunch of people, order up different things and share because there will be plenty.
The atmosphere here is very neo-rockabilly. Waitstaff are all really nice and cool, but it does seem a requirement to have a million tattoos and skinny jeans. Not that it matters one bit....they know how to do it here. Patrons range from all walks of life. So does the decor. (a couple things are creepy, like old dolls and stuff, but most of it is cool retro finds).
If you love brunching, definitely try this place out. it's an experience. The only minutely negative thing I would say is that it's a little pricey for breakfast. Not in general, but don't expect to get a plate for $4-5 like in other diners.
ugh, now I'm hungry.... -

LOVED my meal and so did my kids. Fantastic service. Our first time visiting so we spent a lot of time taking in vintage decor. Our waiter was very good about bringing a smaller less expensive portion for the kids and as a result the tab was very reasonable for what I felt was outstanding food. I tend to judge breakfast places by their homefries and these were outstanding. The Huevos Rancheros were delicious although I didn't need such a large slice of bread under them (and only ate a fraction of the bread). The eggs were perfectly poached. My daughter loves coconut and had the coconut pancakes and just loved it. I had a taste and agreed - very very good.
We will go back again and again. -

I love the atmosphere and the food is decent but not great. They seem to specialize in quantity over quality. My kids got M&M pancakes that were massive and way too sweet. I got the herb / brie / cashew / roasted pepper omelette and would NOT get it again - way too much filling, it became too much too fast. Will definitely go again but will order a basic, simple breakfast - the bells and whistles are too over the top and become unappetizing.

Meh.
So why is this place the bomb? 'Cause the employees are all covered in tattoos? 'Cause the art is all 'crazy' and all? 'Cause they have tofu for breakfast? Okay, I'm on board with all that. Tell me how the food is.
I'll tell you how the Chorizo Burrito is: It should be renamed Burrito with some chorizo. The thing sat like a brick in me for two days. I woke up the next day with a sore neck and a lacking appetite. Although, it tasted okay going down.
The Onion Rings were, admittedly, pretty damn good.
I will likely be back and may revise this review but in case I don't I stand by my statements made herein this review.
Take it to the bank.

Sacramento, CA

The Porstmouth location could easily be misjudged as a gimmick. It's featured in Fromer's and other traveler guides, and seems, on the outside at least, to be a bit of a spectacle. Don't let that deter you--this place is legit.
When staying in Portsmouth, our lodgers recommended Colby's as their #1. We took their advice and enjoyed a nice enough breakfast, but it pales in comparison to our experience at The Friendly Toast.
First, the breakfast menu is overwhelming. My wife chose the salmon benedict (kudos for skipping the pork in a seaport town!) and the lovely side of seasoned home fries. Unlike the home fries at the previous breakfast, these were crisp, zesty, and warm. The benedict was tasty; the salmon, a refreshing addition.
I opted for the oddball option called "The Peasant," a delicious Puerto Rican inspired dish featuring a split plate of black beans, feta, and sauteed spinach paired with an equally healthy portion of tofu, rice, and corn. This came with homemade toast, and I chose the cinnamon raisin. I was so satisfied with the flavor of the dish that I couldn't shut up about it, and were it not for a dynamite dinner experience at another Portsmouth location, this meal would most likely be my favorite food memory from my time on the East Coast. -

Friendly Toast is such a cool spot!!! I absolutely adore vintage art decorating the walls; all these bright colors and funky shapes create an incredible vibe! Food and drinks are great too. I ordered eggs in a hole, which were delicious, but the portion was humongous - it could easily fill two people. If you like Bloody Mary you should order one!!

Overall the service was pretty poor. The cooks didn't look all that clean or appropriately dressed to be working with food. Long hair, no hair nets. But, the food portions were very large and the food was delicious. The prices were reasonable and despite the poor service I would go back for the food.

Better wake up early to allow for extra time getting your skinny legs jeans on. I was the least cool person in the joint, but the food was good. I had the sunrise scramble, which was pretty tame compared to most of the stuff on the menu. The homefries were A+. I like how they are blackened and crispy. They get pretty busy on the weekends, so get there early.
Ill definitely be returning, but not before I get some fresh ink. -

August 23rd, 2011 - While I liked The Friendly Toast just fine, I unfortunately didn't find it to be as "special" or "unique" as many of the reviews I read claimed it was. To me, Silly's (located in Portland, ME) have The Friendly Toast beat. Atmospherically: Silly's, while cramped, is much more warm in their chaotic and loud interior design. They also have one of the coolest "backyards"/outdoor eating areas of any place I've ever been, period. The waitstaff at The Friendly Toast was accommodating, patient, and knowledgeable, but it almost seemed like they were trying too hard to be "cool" and "indie," (my waittress also gave me some serious attitude when I mentioned I was a vegetarian. "Wel I'M a vegan," she responded condescendingly, as if she were better than me. Yikes, lady, chill out!) where at Silly's - it comes much more organically. And finally: the food. The Friendly Toast's menu was fun, but not as veg-friendly as I was hoping or misled/under the impression I thought it would be. My food was tasty, yes, but certainly nothing I would repeat having or mention off-hand in friendly conversation. Silly's menu, while much more expensive than TFT's, is broader, with bigger portions, and much tastier. You were interesting, The Friendly Toast, but I probably won't be visiting again.

This is my favorite place to eat in New Hampshire. I love everything about it. The decor is kitschy and fun, but it's not just to make up for a lack in food quality. Far from it.
Their eggs are good. Their broad is gigantic and comes in like five or six kinds. They have an array of really creative sandwiches and plates, and even though I got a less-creative BLT, it was still great. They have fun drinks, alcoholic and otherwise.
But the most mind-blowing thing I got there was a Red Bull frappe. They usually make it with vanilla ice cream, but they were out, so I got it with strawberry. It was amazing. I would have one of those daily if I could. -
