Friede's Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Watertown

My family and I wanted to love this place so badly but due to HAIR IN OUR FOOD, we are unable to.

Towards the end of our meal, my husband found 2 small hairs in his food, that clearly belonged to the cook, who was not wearing a hair net. I found only one hair in my mostly eaten eggs (that I had shared with our son). When the cook came by the table and asked how our food was, my husband informed him that we found hair in our food. The man said "Did ya?" Looked at the food and the hair and walked away.

We were unable to further confront the man about the issue as my husband has recognized severe anger issues and did not want to cause a scene.

We will be reporting this to the health department. But as the system does not always work, people need to be informed...

Ate here today 14-Oct:

Ordered country fried steak and eggs and wife ordered cheese and mushroom omelette. We both asked for our potatoes/toast to be subbed for cottage cheese. A request that in every other diner ever in life is always an even substitution. Omelette arrived without mushrooms and so I let the waitress know and she said we didn't ask for a mushroom and cheese omelette. Okay I know we did but whatever, why not pan fry up some mushrooms real quick and just modify the order for us? Win-win right?

This diner charged 2.29 each plate for the cottage cheese (that's about 30% of the omellete's price). Bill came to about $22 and I ended up tipping the difference (paid $30) Overall, I would advise trying a different diner...

Ready for a real slice of northern new york with a side of hot, crispy hash browns? My favorite part about this place, besides the great, friendly staff, is the fact that my coffee mug is never empty. A small thing to some, but Friede's could serve me fried dirt and I wouldn't mind until I saw the bottom of my mug.

The menu features good, simple comfort food, although I've never ordered much besides the breakfast (what more could you ask for?), but it's been explained to me that their meatloaf is amazing.

Their kitchen and flattop is clean. Their staff is wonderful, and their prices are downright honest and fair. The corned beef hash is crispy, and the customers are the realest northern new yorkers you'll ever encounter. What are you...
