Sarah SpagnoloMay 9, 2015Lunch salads are tiny! There are free iced tea refills though, an it's fruity
Sarah NelsonMarch 2, 2012Good for brunch or dinner- kicked off the whole "taxidermy covering the walls" trend. Unique spot.
Thompson HotelsMay 24, 2011Our concierge Shivali at The Thompson LES recommends Freeman's for its amazingly un-New York rustic lodge decor.- Seth BannonApril 14, 2013The decour will kill your appetite. There are literally animal carcasses hanging from the walls.
GourmetLiveApril 21, 2011Stashed in a hidden Lower East Side alley, Freemans attracts the most exclusive hipsters looking to dine in Manhatttan.
DavMarch 15, 2015It's a cute cozy place. I get the hype but the food is kind of meh. I've had better. Everything is just bland.
jamie carrollJune 10, 2010tucked away on freeman alley, the search for freeman's is well rewarded with an interesting menu and creative cocktails!
Only place I eat at in Manhattan. Moto in Williamsburg is the only restaurant better than Freemans.
Patrick MccolganAugust 20, 2011Off the beaten path prepare to wait for a table, but the decor is cool and the food good!
Emanuel KarlstenNovember 21, 2011Great and excating location down a small alley. The whole building is designed to look old and rustique.
Berk KapiciogluApril 29, 2017Really cute place at the end of an alley. Dont get the trout, because it comes with hard-boiled eggs. Get bacon with dates and the artichoke dip. So delicious! Decent minimalist bloody Mary.
Jeffrey LonigroJuly 27, 2011Great food, cool vibe. Bad server last night who could not be bothered with us. Literally ran away from the table in the middle of a drink order. Heads up service is part of the experience. I'm done
Victoria ZuffranieriOctober 15, 2011Grilled cheese for Brunch or cheddar toast for an app are a must
Jessica PageJanuary 7, 2010Hot toddys at the bar made to perfection. Gotta get the artichoke dip too! This is one of my fave spots in the city.
Rosanna CasperMarch 6, 2011Filet over the lamb, trout is amazing and for dessert the toffee is to die for
Kmart FashionDecember 2, 2011Our favorite…every single time, hands down, is the $10 artichoke dip. A must.
artichoke dip. smoked trout. i would eat it all day every day.
Get the popsicle mimosa. It's just how it sounds—delicious.
Julia San JuanOctober 14, 2021The artichoke dip is the only thing that’s worthwhile. Staff and ambiance are great, but the food and drinks are mediocre.
kate spade new yorkOctober 4, 2010try the popcorn shrimp, artichoke dip and the devils on horseback all with an order of cheddar toast.

"the pork meatballs with fries and the tomato curry sauce are amazing and it's a good amount of food compared to the other small plates."

"Always a visit in the afternoon. Not too overwhelmingly big and rich but always cool exhibitions"
Ina Li - 9.2
"An awesome, intimate venue. A sold out show will never be overcrowded. The downstairs bar is cool, too."
