Greekman’s (by Freedman’s)

“We LOVE coming here. Drive from Santa Monica all the time. We get a village salad, fries, chicken and steak skewers — all great portions. Love the gigante beans and lemony potatoes but usually forego so we have room for olive oil ice cream. Also love the seawater mocktail. Staff is amazing. They use InKind so we always end up saving money!”

“Greekmans is truly a hidden gem in Silver Lake! The atmosphere is inviting, and the food is nothing short of amazing—authentic Greek flavors that are both fresh and flavorful. The service was impeccable, with the staff making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this spot is a must-try for anyone craving top-notch Greek cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you so much for a memorable evening and birthday celebration 🙏🏽”

“Nice service with a lovely intimate atmosphere. This place has so much potential to be amazing. It’s not traditional Greek food and the flavor disappointed a bit for some dishes however, the lamb and wagyu skewer were INSANELY good but insultingly small.”

“The food was quite tasty and high quality, though the dip portions on the souvlaki “party” were almost insultingly small (given they’re the cheapest items in the dish). The service was nice, knowledgeable, and consistent. The white wine bottle was lovely. I would sit inside instead of in the patio, and the inside is beautiful, while the patio was decorated nicely, but inescapably reminds you that you’re technically eating in the parking lot. My only main gripe is the 18% service charge that explicitly states that it’s not inclusive of gratuity. This says, in a somehow unspoken manner, that there’s an expectation that you’ll be parting with at least an additional 30% of the cost of the meal, not forgetting the 10% sales tax too. 💸”

“The food quality is fine as in everything is edible but the portions are for ants - so small! So stingy on the portion sizes, not at all like what a real Greek restaurant would have. See pic for how big the hummus is. The Greek salad was half a tomato, half a cucumber, and 3 ounces of cheese. And it cost $16 (not including the 18% automatic gratuity). There is a 18% gratuity included but it is not a tip. However the staff aren’t really working for tips there. Slow and combative. They’ve tried communism in other countries and it didn’t work… why should it at Greekman’s This place feels like the manager is a freshly minted MBA who ran some analytics on the menu to min/max profit margins. However, doesn’t seem like this manager went to Harvard Business School. More like clown college. The manager doesn’t realize that you can only have profits if you have customers, and the way to keeping customers is not through stinginess and shrinkflation. Tasty food, bad value”
