Tomas, our waiter was incredible! always on time and knew when to advice and help on the menu recommendations. very professional and truthful. we had a very good first time together experience.

Amazing ambiance and service in the East Village! Freeman's, hidden at the end of a graffiti-covered alley, offers a cool rustic ambiance. The service was attentive, and while the food was good, I'm still searching for a truly standout dish. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely return.

Had a good time at Freemans. They have some good cocktails to choose from. Great service and amazing bartenders.

Had dinner here in a private room with about 40 people. They did an amazing job keeping the food and drinks flowing. Always looking for a good restaurant for a big group and this fit the bill perfectly. It's also super cozy. So whether you're planing an intimate dinner or a big party, this is a great place to do it.

Came in with a reservation on a saturday with 5 people. The restaurant is tucked away down Freeman's alley and is cozy inside. The trains were out of whack and half our party was very late, but they were excellent and accommodating! We had the english breakfast plate, the housemade granola bowl, sourdough pancakes, and the kale caesar. All were a good portion and and very tasty. The beans on the english breakfast were particularly tasty, as was the housemade granola. Definitely a cute spot worth coming out to!

Always wanted to check this place out but it gets busy on weekends. I had a day off on a Friday so decided to go for a visit. On weekdays they don't have their extensive brunch menu so some of the dishes you'd see on the weekends aren't available on weekdays. However, the Freemans French Toast was available and I got to try it finally. It was thick and super custardy -- might be my favorite French toast in NYC so far! Buuuuuut the real highlight was the Ichijiku Royale cocktail with fig vodka, sobacha tea, sparkling wine, & lemon was amazing -- so refreshing for a cocktail! I need more of that!

Came here for lunch because we heard that a certain celeb really liked it here... My friend and I ordered to share: devils on Horseback (bacon-wrapped prunes with blue cheese- truly delightful and delicious), artichoke dip (ample-sized crock with basically an entire loaf of sliced bread- couldn't finish it all), and a chicken club with a side salad (basic, but excellent aioli). The decor of Freeman's is very colonial and woodsy. There are taxidermied animals on the walls and antique paintings. The restaurant feels like an old colonial lodge/home with different cozy rooms. There are small doors under the stairs that waiters must fold themselves in half to enter/exit (it was so intriguing). The vibe of this restaurant is in complete juxtaposition to the eclectic and urban artistry of the alleyway where the entrance is located.

I've eaten here a few times. The first time was dismal. The second time it was better. The third time, I finally have to upgrade to five stars. First, I was the first person in and had the whole place to myself for almost an hour. Sometimes it can get busy, but at 11:30 AM on a Monday was perfect. And as previously mentioned in my review and others' reviews, the decor is intagrammable--shabby and vintage, with dark wood, taxidermy, and old mirrors. The burger is pretty good. I had the chicken club this time, at the recommendation of the server. Made with garlic-herb aioli, butter lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and mixed greens. It was a great sandwich and the bacon had the perfect crisp. They have pretty solid drinks, including the Freeman's. I'm not a rye person, but this drink is rich and smooth, and the star is the orange bitters, pomegranate, and lemon. I also had the Antwilla Swizzle, made with rum, tangerine, sage, maraschino, and lime. It was a little sweeter, but still refreshing. I finished up with the Naval Trader, made with bourbon, sherry, pear, maple, turmeric, and cardamom bitters. A smoky, spicy sipper. The first time I rated Freeman's poorly because the service was awful. The second time, the service was much better. This time, my server, Gurman S (not sure if Gurman is his first or last name) was knowledgeable, on top of everything, and served me a glass of complimentary glass of champagne at the end of my meal. Little things like this over time is what brought my rating up from three, to four, and now to five.
