What People Are Saying About Snack

The tiny dining room--with just five tables--is pleasingly like eating in a rustic kitchen: Greek packaged foods decorate the shiny white walls, and customers bustle to and fro. The waitstaff can be brusque when it's busy, but the atmosphere is generally comfortable. These are simple, hearty Greek dishes with minimal frills. The appetizers, hot and cold, are especially delicious. Hot, flaky spinach pies and cheese pies burst with comforting buttery flavor, while stuffed grape leaves rouse the palate with brine. A host of dips--chickpea, carp roe, garlic--are complex, pleasing and filling.…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Due to the diminutive size of the dining room, there's definitely a wait at peak times. Be prepared to cool your heels, show up early, or take your food to-go.
The Extras:
In the West Village? Check out Snack's sister restaurant, Snack Taverna.

GREAT FIND!

by dineh at Citysearch

I have been meaning to write this and am finally doing so! We ordered every recommendation from out server--from the lush red wine through the homemade pastry of baklavah, and it was delicious. This is rustic greek cooking in a very casual but cool setting. We ate every drop of the Greek salads, the cheese triangle, and the tzatzikik w/the delicious homemade pita...mmmm. To satisfy the vegetarian in our group, we ate the cheese pie next, and it did not disappoint. Going back for more!!

  • Pros: The fooooood, service, reasonable prices!
  • Cons: Small place, go at off hours
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

delicious greek, quaint atmosphere,

by amihaly at Citysearch

I love coming here. their pastisio is warm and delicious on a cold winter's night. their greek salad is always fresh and the feta is mild. there are only 6 tables in this place, so the best time to go is not on the weekend when it's overcrowded. but on a cold monday night with hunger pains in my tummy i love coming here. also, the beat salad is perfect for something lighter.

great greek wine list too.

Avoid this

by foodforaardvarks at Citysearch

Over the top pretentiousness at this dump. We had the rudest waitress and the food was over priced and it is so small inside that you're touching elbows with the next table.

  • Pros: location
  • Cons: everything else

The Worst

by Oldearlgrey at Citysearch

Reading some of these reviews - are the reviewers reviewing the right place? it is not even on Bleecker street?? The tables are so crammed together, it is hard to enjoy yourself... and it is so dark and dingy, and damp and dirty.... you cant even see your food.... probably better not to see it!

  • Pros: n/a
  • Cons: expensive, pretentious

No Respect For Customers!

by thompsonfoodie at Citysearch

Tried to go for a 'snack' on a late Sunday afternoon, it was dead empty [this should have been a sign to keep away], the waitress gave us a weird look when we came in and then told us there was a $15 minimum per customer - ?! Is that even legal? we left. Not worth it. Never going back. Will never recommend this place either.

  • Pros: Location
  • Cons: Staff, Food, Decor, Cost
