Phenomenal food, funky atmosphere, waiters march to their own beat I think a couple of the reviews below are shills for the competition. I have been going to "The Toast" for 10 yrs or so. I have taken 50 to 60 guests there as well, ranging from college students to business associates to elderly parents. The results are always the same - repeat customers. A friend comes up from NY for the weekend, and he'll want to eat there 3 times. A business associate from Boston, every time he comes to town for lunch. My wife's friends fr... read more

Disgustng on every level How this place has not been closed down by the health dept, has got me baffled, as for the previous review, "antique cups and plate's"? are you kidding, dirty,disgusting, chipped and broken , old ,plastic cups and plate's out of a garage sale from hell. I have been there a number of times by default as Ive been forced to meet friends there.The staff are not friendly to anyone who does not look as though they have bathed in a year and has at least half their body dipped in tattoo ink.The food is alway... read more

cool decor We have been here a number of times and the food has ALWAYS been great. I get the best sandwich called the Matt #2 (I think # 2!) The wait staff look a bit different than the "average" person, but judging people by how they look is a big mistake in my book. The walls are covered with cool things to look at, I always find something new. I would recommend this restaurant and I have.

friendly toast I admire the concept of what it is, but I feel there should be another themed restaurant around promoting a new avant guard. 1950s white suburban culture on meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is kinda cool, but how about 1950s beat culture with sparse (heroin chic) look is that still in style with images of Charlie Parker jumping off a train in the midwest looking for Junk. His drummer brings him back in cause aint no crap out there. One idea or something like that ya dig?

Good food, good people. The menu is huge. Creative and unique, and most importantly, delicious. I feel bad for the waitstaff who get all these bad reviews. Have you watched them run around on a Sunday morning? They are workin' their butts off. I've always had extremely friendly service. And hink about it - you'd probably just smile and nod too when the customer you're waiting on looks at you like a circus freak. I mean come on. I've even heard these customers be rude to the waitstaff. No food is ever dropped on their laps. J... read more

I would rather starve! This place is the epitome of disgusting. The owners would be much better off paying attention to cleanliness (the tables are just about as dirty as the bathroom floor) and food consistency rather than cluttering the place with useless crap. The food is WAY too expensive which is as annoying as the extremely long wait time when and if you ever get to place an order. I have friends that work there, they haven't gotten raises in many years. The owners waste tons of money than blame price increases on the ... read more

Not too bad I ate here one morning before work and had the best pumpkin pancake I've ever had. The waitstaff however, left much to be desired. They looked gruby and unwashed. And our waitresses attitude went with her crappy clothes. And we got there are 7:00 am because the sign said they opened at that time, but no one showed up to unlock the doors until 7:15 and then the grill had to heat up so it took forever to get our food. I would definetly go back for the food but hope to have better service.

The Friendly Toast The Friendly Toast has red walls covered in random paintings, antiques, and toys. The menu is unique and ppretty much anything can come vegetarian or vegan. The waitstaff is always really friendly, and the food is served on vintage plates with vintage cups. The best omelette in my opinion is the goat cheese, asparagus, and vegetarian bacon omelette, which comes with spicy hasbrowns, and your choice of six different toasts (hence the name).
