    Greek potatoes
    Quin T.

    We finally had the chance to try The Greek Bar, and we absolutely loved it! We were regulars at Tarbouch for years, so we were sad to see it close. When we learned this restaurant would still offer the same style of fresh Mediterranean cuisine, we couldn't wait to give it a try. The décor is subtle, tasteful, and fits the atmosphere perfectly. We sat at the bar, enjoyed chatting with the staff, and were lucky enough to meet the owner, Daphne, during our visit. Everything we ordered was fantastic! We especially loved the Pikilia, the Greek-style fried chicken, the Greek potatoes, and the chicken skewer. To top it all off, we finished with the baklava, which was fresh, perfectly moist, and absolutely delicious. The food was outstanding, and Daphne and her team made us feel so welcome. If you haven't been to The Greek Bar yet, what are you waiting for?

    Grilled Octopus

    Better late than never! I came here for Easter Sunday and it turned out to be a wonderful dining experience. I'm a sucker for Greek food, but I also know the difference between good Greek cuisine and the mediocre versions you sometimes find. Thankfully, this was firmly in the first category. We started with the Skordalia, a whipped potato dip that I had never tried before. It was as creamy as hummus but as comforting and savory as mashed potatoes and the warm grilled pita took it to the next level. Next came the grilled octopus, which was cooked perfectly. It was incredibly tender with none of the chewiness that can often ruin an octopus dish. The accompanying sauce tied everything together beautifully without overpowering the seafood. For our entrées I ordered the lamb special, while my partner chose the lamb skewer. Both were outstanding and easily some of the best lamb dishes we've had at any restaurant in Austin. The meat was flavorful, tender and expertly prepared. To round out the experience, the service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive and the restaurant itself strikes a great balance between cozy and stylish, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Overall, this was an excellent meal from start to finish. I'll definitely be back, perhaps to check out happy hour or brunch next time.

    Super cute spot that I had been wanting to try for a while! Lovely decor inside for a date night and large patio outside good for group dinners. They even have merch here! Service was helpful and attentive. All of the food and ingredients looked and tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. I tried the whipped potato dip which was good, mostly just tasted like a thicker mashed potato served cold. The pita was warm and perfect. Loved all of their pickled veggies. The avgolemono soup was like a warm hug for my insides. So so yum, would definitely come back for this. Was perfect on the rainy day we came in. I also tried the chicken skewer with rice. The chicken was cooked so perfectly, although a little too much of a smokey taste for my liking, but was still good. The tzatziki was great, but didn't love the orange sauce it came with. The rice was awesome! There's a good amount of parking next to the building. Will be coming back to try more!

    I really enjoyed dining at The Greek Bar and was surprised I hadn't discovered it sooner. My boyfriend and I decided to check it out while looking for an early dinner spot on a Saturday evening, and we were pleasantly impressed from the start. The waitstaff were extremely attentive and welcoming--two men and one woman--and made us feel comfortable right away. One of the male servers took the time to walk us through much of the menu, thoughtfully explaining the different dishes, which we really appreciated. We started with a shareable appetizer: the pick-three dips with pita. The portion came with plenty of pita, and we chose the eggplant dip, a split pea-based dip, and a whipped potato dip. While all were good, the whipped potato dip was my favorite--it was unique and especially delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the vegetable skewer. The presentation was beautiful, and the dish was very flavorful. It also came with pickled vegetables, which added a nice balance. My boyfriend ordered a shrimp dish that was more stew-like; he mentioned the tomatoes tasted very fresh and really enjoyed it. Overall, the meal was filling, well-portioned, and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be coming back.

    Met a friend for brunch around 11:00 AM on a beautiful Saturday morning. Sun shining and loving the warmish mornings. Small place easy to access, get there early! Or better yet make a reservation from their website. We were able to seat outside half way under the covered patio, I'm giving a 4 because of the pesky flies/bees which I know they have no control over but maybe a few bug zappers wouldn't hurt. Started off with a Mimosa, then added the Melitzana, roasted eggplant like a course dip with fresh pita bites & pickled vegetables, so yummy. I ordered the Avgolemono Soup, extra creamy with egg and delicious. It was really good. My friend ordered the Aegean Omelette, wow that was a plate full of deliciousness. Our server was very attentive, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had extra pita for our dip. Highly recommend, will be returning for dinner service.

    I was here for a group dinner and had a nice time. We shared the skordalia dip. If you like garlic, you'll love this dip! I ordered the Greek Style Fried Chicken and it was great. It was crispy on the outside and tender and juicey on the inside. The veggies underneath were really good as well. Another guest ordered the chicken skewers and they really enjoyed it. I had the Greek Isles mocktail and it was really refreshing and tasty. The other drinks looked very pretty as well. We sat inside but I think it would be nice to sit outside next time during the fall months. If you're nearby, hop in for a bite! Service was top notch also!

    Fantastic food, cocktails, and service. You can park here, they're attentive, and the food is absolutely perfect. Beyond food I loved the decor, vibe, and how happy everyone that works here obviously was.

    Greek fried chicken with vegetables
    Kimberley R.

    A great neighborhood spot for awesome Greek food! I'll start with service, courses came out with perfect timing. Servers were very friendly and eager to please. Service was a 10/10! For food, we had the "pick 3" spreads and all were outstanding. The split pee spread was a nice surprise and the pita was warm and delicious. The stand out dish for me was the sea bass, topped with spinach and served with chimichurri sauce. The fried chicken was also good, a little salty for me, but the vegetables served below the chicken were outstanding. I absolutely loved the baklava! It's my fav treat, I served it at my wedding. This baklava was up there with that. I cannot wait to come back for brunch!

    I live really close to Greek Bar and was excited to try it. I want to say: The service was decent, the place is cute and the vibe is really nice. However, the food was just a miss. We ordered the feta dip, Kalamari, chicken skewer & spanakopita. The feta dip is the only thing that didn't come out cold to the touch :(. The kalamari was bad, tasted rubbery and the fried outer layer was soft, the chicken skewer and rice was lacking flavor but also just freezing. We waited 45 minutes for the chicken to come out and there were only 3 other tables in the building, and again when it came out it was freezing. It was all genuinely so bad. I'm not sure why our experience was so off compared to others that have reviewed but it was disappointing to say the least.

    My #workwife and I had a late Sunday supper at The Greek Bar, and it was the perfect spot for a girl dinner fueled with cheese, dips, wine... and a little protein. The Greek Bar is a caaayuuuute little cafe-style restaurant with a covered patio, quaint interior, sexy bar... great for said GNO, date, or solo dinner. We started with a pick-three spread: We got the eggplant, tirokafteri (whipped feta, roasted peppers​), and skordalia (garlic, whipped potato, almond). The skordalia was a lovely surprise! With a big bottle of red, we needed to pair it with some cheese, so we ordered the saganaki (pan seared kefalotyri cheese dressed with a grilled lemon, oregano, and metaxa). And for some added protein, lavraki-a whole grilled mediterranean sea bass, with wild greens, a healthy dressing of lemon and EVOO. Would def go back.

    3 spread (tirokafteri, eggplant, favosalata)
    Mourad F.

    We had this restaurant on our radar as we have seen many posts on social media about it. The vibe is pretty good, more casual in real life than how it seems on social media but still excellent. The service is pretty prompt and our waiter was pretty attentive. The drinks are pretty strong. I ordered the mayan muse and was happy with it. We ordered 3 spreads for starters and the tirokafteri was the best. We had the chicken skewer and the moussaka for entrees and they were equally delicious and we ended up sharing. Baklava was so crisp and nice for dessert. We met the owners and had a little chat with them. Super nice people

    The nasty chicken skewer
    Jorge G.

    Tried a new Greek restaurant in Austin, hoping it would become a great neighborhood go-to since it's so close to home--but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. We ordered takeout, which turned out to be a mistake. The portion sizes were shockingly small, and one of the sides that was supposed to be included was missing entirely. We called to share our concerns, and while the manager did offer a 50% refund, it didn't quite make up for the disappointing experience--our dinner plans were pretty much ruined. Wont me coming back

    Nice patio, tables inside, and decent size bar. There is parking but when we left at 7 there was no parking and a guy was asking for our spot. They do have happy hour til 6 but skip the alcohol on it, their regular priced drinks were way better. Food overall is decent must like feta because everything has feta on it. We started off with the happy hour trio, happy hour lamb kefta and the salad. Salad was light and had a great vinaigrette on it. The split pea dip was actually my favorite and I ordered the eggplant one. The trio does not give enough pita so a second round was ordered. Lamb kofta was actually really good and I'm not even a lamb eater. My table mate said she could have eaten like 6 of those. Octopus was my favorite of the meal. The mousska gave me shepards pie vibes and the feta brined chicken had a mild taste of feta. You could taste it but it didn't overpower it and it was fried so you really can't go wrong. The sides are definitely not something to skip, the wild greens are so simple with lemon and olive oil but so tasty and makes you feel healthy, our server told us the Lima beans are an underrated side and she was right, they were so good and those crispy potato's were perfect blend of crisp and garlic. For dessert the doughnuts were a surprisingly good with honey and nuts. We all said they were a favorite. I love baklava so also very good just wish they were bigger. I'm not a Greek yogurt fan but it was a crowd pleaser. They loved the currants and dates and were even dipping the doughnuts in it.

Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine.

There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.
