A little about us & the culture that has been created… Friedmans is a family run business, which operates locations throughout New York City. Friedmans was named after the famous economist Milton Friedman who popularized the phrase, “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”. This phrase has gone on to be used in science, economics, finance, statistics, technology, sports, & now food. However, to put it simply, “to get one thing we like, we usually have to give up another thing we like.” Our mantra is simple, “Eat good food” and this is what we strive to deliver to our guests. For us, it has two meanings. Firstly, eat food that tastes good. Secondly, be proud of the food you serve. We know where our food comes from. We communicate regularly with our farmers and are proud to serve antibiotic free meats & local vegetables. Our mission is for you to love, respect, & enjoy, not only the food you serve, but also the team you work with.

Our waiter AUSTIN was exceptionally helpful. One guest was having a diabetic episode and we had to get food to him immediately. He was most helpful.

Great food, service and ambience! Try everything. The burger was the most basic dish. Everything else is a must try! I didn't expect the mac & cheese and greens to be such a great combination.

Visited Quality Meats for a family Christmas Eve dinner. Food was impressive and exceptional in taste. Felt that the dining experience exceeded the dollar value of the meal. We were very well attended to and the service added additional satisfaction to our visit. Will certainly dine again at Quality Meats.
