The Ginger Man

Overall, not bad. My burger was okay, the slice of raw onion was cut way to thick, even though I'd ordered caramelized onions, Onions should be thinly sliced so it fit nicely and not overwhelming. $2 for a tiny piece of bacon I had to look for. Fried brussels sprouts were not bad but not the best, the crispy cauliflower was good, enjoyed that. Fish n chips was delish. roasted chicken was good but the mash and asparagus were a bit salty.

We loved the soft pretzel and pesto mac and cheese. It's a nice place and the service was good. The food was good but a little expensive. It can be hard to find parking closer to the restaurant on busy days. Update: Dined here again, and the food was delicious. We got burgers, cauliflower, mashed potatoes, pesto mac and cheese, and portobello steak. Everything tastee great! The only con was our pretzel came in pieces while for another tables, it was the regulat full size. We were perplexed as to why would that be. Updating my review from 4 to 5 stars.

Had lunch at the Ginger Man with in-laws. We started with chorizo nachos. Half the table ordered corned beef sandwiches. The others ordered the Ginger Man burger (pictured). The burger patty is a blend of brisket, sirloin, and short rib. It's delicious. There's a full bar.

Food is always delicious! The service is excellent, and the team is consistently attentive, going above and beyond.

We had a really funny experience here. There were four of us. We showed up at 5:30 for some happy hour drinks and asked to be seated. The place was basically empty. The hostess told us that they are dining only, and she could not seat us if we were going to just drink. We told her we’d order apps with the drinks. She said that wouldn’t work; you have to eat a full meal. We told her no problem, we’d go somewhere else - at which point she said she’d ask her manager if she could seat us. She came back a few minutes later and said she’d ask could seat us. We sat outside and had a good time. The beer list is excellent. The shishito peppers were awesome. The chips and guac were great too (and we are from Cali so we know our guac). But the funny thing is, we literally had the whole outside area to ourselves from 5:30-6:45. Very odd experience and made us feel unwelcome.

This is definitely a go to for me! I always order their chicken sandwich and it never disappoints. Their Cesar salad is the best I've had in Greenwich.

Exceptional bar and restaurant in an area where the quality of your watch matters far more to the empty passerby than anything else. Go here if you want to feel at home in likely the worst area for actual, real people in the entire country. Amazing food, staff, and drinks - check it out!

4.4 The Ginger Man is located right in the center of downtown Greenwich in the midst of all the retail stores. It's also close to the train station which has worked for us for over a decade to have an annual Christmas meal here with a family member who lives in Manhattan and rides up for our lunch. The atmosphere is a blend of casual and upscale/pub and restaurant. There is a long wooden bar with stools, some tables and booths around the bar with views of the busy street, and some private event rooms upstairs at the top of a long winding staircase. The best room is the main dining room that has a working fireplace in the colder months. During the Christmas season, a big festive wreath hangs over the mantle. Arriving early, a table was available right next to the fire! It was a nice addition to see a few premium steak choices on the menu this time, but it was too early in the day. An order of ribs was described as okay, with little or no dry rub for seasoning and a sweet sauce. A side of Mac and Cheese comes with this dish plus coleslaw. More a half rack in size. Not a true half or full rack, but The Ginger Man is not a barbecue house, so he was just happy to be able to have the choice of ribs for his lunch. A steak and cheese wrap with green pepper, onions, arugula and garlic aioli on a wheat pita was flavorful and tender. Fish and chips were crispy. The kind of fish was the standard cod. The hand cut fries were perfect. I always get the salmon which changes from time to time in how it's prepared, but it's always delicious and light served with a risotto. This is a great spot to meet friends, coworkers or family, have a drink and something to eat while catching up on what's new. Service moves along and there is an extensive drink selection from the bar.

Was hoping to eulogize the one on 36tb Street in Midtown Manhattan, but the page has been removed ‍ I have been here once though, and it certainly has the same great menu and extensive craft beer menu...OE: Found it

I was a fan of the original NYC location and was delighted to see this pop up in Greenwich. It's a spacious pub with an old school feel. A few of outdoor tables which I'd recommend in the summer. The beer list is pretty extensive and you can't really go wrong with any of them! I was a bit disappointed with the food on my last visit though, I had the burger which was a little dry and overcooked. It comes in an English muffin which is kind of unique though! Also went for the kale salad, it was not bad but the kale leaves did not taste super fresh on that occasion.

This place is adorable. Right at the top of Greenwich Ave. We sat in the back in the fireplace room and took advantage of the Oktoberfest menu and the bratwurst. Delish! Our waitress never really checked in on us so I can't give 5 stars. But I'd definitely go back.

I went with a couple friends and we all liked our food, the seating and inside is nice! There is indoor and outdoor seating! We got the chips and guac appetizer along with 12 buffalo wings and it was delicious and came out boiling hot, which we loved. The waitress was so sweet she even brought us a few more chips when she saw we were out of chips with a little guac left. The waitress was quick with ordering and filling water which I always like to mention in reviews. I got the crispy chicken paillard sandwich and i loved it, I got caramelized onions instead of pickled onions, and my boyfriend got the Nashville, hot chicken sandwich and he loved it, it was a little smaller than he expected. French fries were delicious all around a nice place to go with a group of friends, and there was tons of seating.

Excellent ambiance, good food, and friendly service in a classic and classy setting. Conveniently located near the train and a walkable strip of bars, restaurants, and shops. Highlights of the meal were the pesto mac n cheese, and the burger. Good beer selection, and crafty cocktails. If I lived within walking distance of this place, it would be a regular spot for me. Recommend.

The ambiance embodies classic American tavern, however, the service started off very slowly. We had to wave down our waiter to take our order and the guacamole and chips, which claims to be homemade, was freezing cold as if it was taken out of the refrigerator from last night. BUT, and this is a big BUT, our entrees were very good and flavorful. We got the chicken quesadilla and the chicken paillard sandwich and they were very good to our surprise.

This is a place that you never have to wait, and the service is good. It's pub food so you have to go in with that mindset. We went for brunch on a Sunday and couldn't get into other places. Sister got lamb has eggs which she said was gross because the hash was burnt and dry. Father ate a spinach omelette and he was pleased. It wasn't stellar. I ate a Cobb salad and added salmon which was amazing. The 3 stars Consistories the price- it seems like thiết pricing went up, and for the taste/quality I'd say it's not there.

Highly recommended. I had a couple of business meetings in the area afterwards we went there for lunch and that was 20 years ago. My son and I were recently in heavy traffic on 95 so I suggested that we take a food break. I remembered the Ginger Man was close to 95. As we arrived I noticed nothing has changed the aesthetics were exactly the same. As for the food it was still top quality and the service was excellent. The Ginger Man has passed the test of time.

Came here for some apps and was highly impressed. The portions were the perfect size as an afternoon snack but also super delicious. The atmosphere also reminded me on being in a little pub in Ireland. I can't believe I have never been before. Definitely want to go back for dinner and try the entrees.

Based on how busy this spot was on a Saturday night, The Ginger Man needs no introduction to locals. Clearly an institution and rightfully so!! We were able to get a seat after a short wait, ~5 minutes. The menu is the perfect mix of classic American homestyle dishes. I orderd the fish and chips, which heavy on the batter but delish. In hindsight, I was jealous and should have gotten the burger. The ambience is super cozy, but also lively with lots of kids and parties happening in the upstairs room. Def stop in here for the fire and stay for the TVs and awesome menu.

Cute little place conveniently located near the train station , been here twice (7 years apart) so we figured we'd try again to see if the atmosphere was better but things didn't really change much, the staff in this place is really not that friendly . The food is ok their squash soup is great , everything else is pretty much standard .

I customized a burger order last night for take out. I was attending a private function. I am not happy because I asked for carmelized onions and adding mushrooms. I don't know if it's because it was towards the end of night and kitchen was closing but I paid over 20.00 for this. Today when I went to eat the burger there was one mushroom and barely any onions. The fries were horrible barely cooked and very greasy. not happy.

I sat outdoors here and the street is quiet and peaceful. The food was good. I had a steak and it was cooked perfectly. The server was very intent.

Came in recently and sat at the bar for a Martini and an appetizer. The bartenders were friendly but were a bit sloppy. For example, the bartender was wearing a crappy old t-shirt. Simple suggestion: Instruct the staff to wear a decent clean shirt.

Just a nice reliable feel-good restaurant on the ave. The food really delivers and the service is attentive and friendly. Love the Brussels, and the turkey burger. Nice spot for going out to dinner with kids - particularly if eating early.

I was a little underwhelmed by this place. When I arrive, there were a few young kids with their parents partying and made the whole dining area very noisy. I ordered lamb Reuben and the lamb was a little over cooked, and the texture was hard to chew.

Cute lil cozy place! My husband and I got seated towards the back where the fireplace is. Nice and warm! The food was good - especially the pesto Mac and cheese. That was bomb!! Get it!! My husband loves oysters so I'm sure he enjoyed that. He also got a burger and I got the turkey chili with chips. Didn't get a picture, but that was good too. The waiter wasn't super personable. Kinda just like "I'm here for a job and that's it". Felt like he could check up on us more. But other than that, all was good!

I was really impressed by my experience here. I got a salad + chicken (really generous protein portion), a side of asparagus, and a brownie sundae. The food was so good I ate every bite. The service was quick and attentive. The dining room itself was small and noisy, but cozy. Usually that would be enough to turn me off (I hate small tops packed next to one another and a noisy atmosphere), but it didn't ruin the meal and I'd definitely go back. In fact, I kind of want to go back even though I just went last night.

Food at Ginger Man is always good. Service is friendly. Nice varied options on menu. We go here often and always enjoy ourselves.

Ginger Man, on Greenwich Avenue, was a bustling lively scene on a Friday night. Its interior was a mix of cozy yet trendy, and though loud, it was still quite comfortable to sit and enjoy. For appetizers, we got their "award-winning" Pesto Mac and Cheese ($15) and the Chorizo Nachos ($13). For entrees, the Steak Frites ($45) and the Grilled Skirt Steak ($28). The Pesto Mac and cheese was the epitome of creaminess and was the highlight of the night. Deliciously salty and smooth, the ideal mac and cheese consistency without deviating from the expected earthy notes of pesto. The Chorizo Nachos were imperfect, but a nice starter nonetheless. The flavors were there and quite nice, but the chorizo was underrepresented on the plate, and it was slightly cool as if it had sat for a bit in the pass before being served. Entrees arrived. Both steaks were ordered medium rare, but the execution was mixed. The NY Strip (Steak Frites) arrived cooked perfectly and was tender, though there was too much gristle left attached to the signature fat cap, and the fries, though perfectly salted were a bit soggy in texture. The Skirt Steak arrived, totally blue. However, we got our server to refire it, with a new piece, and it was nailed perfectly on the refire. The chimichurri sauce that accompanied it, as well as the jalapeno rice, was spicy and delicious, though the steak itself was relatively bland on the outside if one took a bite without the chimichurri. Overall, Ginger Man had both hits and misses, but was an overall enjoyable evening, in a great location and with competent staff.

The place is conveniently located between New York and Connecticut on beautiful Greenwich Ave. I found the food to be just ok. Went for brunch with friends. We sat in a back room which was empty. We each ordered spinach omelettes, and some drinks. The omelette was nothing to write home about as we each received the equivalent of one egg perhaps 1/8 of a cup of spinach and a few drops of goat cheese and literally a small quartered potato. For the price we thought this was not the best choice. I would still recommend this restaurant but I would stick to something like a steak and eggs or just go for drinks. The Margarita on the rocks was excellent. Overall we walked down Greenwich Ave to grab Açaí bowls.

Consistently great food and service. Perfect for lunch or dinner with friends or colleagues. Not the best for families as it's a bit dimly lit, but plenty of fun kid-appropriate dishes/sandwiches. Can't go wrong and it's an great alternative to the restaurants that lean more toward finer dining.

If you're looking for just a beer at the bar, this is your place. If you're looking to eat...DON'T HERE...the food is terrible. We ordered the NY Strip Steak Sandwich which was full of grizzle and had a nerve running right through the middle making it impossible to eat. We also ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich which was a skinny dry chicken cutlet with some hot sauce drizzled on it, one lonely pickle, and witted cole slaw. Oh...did I mention - it was on burned sour dough bread?

The burger was spectacular. I just wish this place was a bit more like its original NYC location with a more sizable beer list. But then again, perhaps this area just isn't a fit for that.

Um, wtf? Not my usual reaction for Greenwich food establishments. Coming here on Saturday night with a couple friends, I wasn't expecting much--many mediocre restaurants always seem to have throngs of people. I don't think I've ever seen plain cauliflower or Brussels sprouts for $11. Or a pretzel for $12. Or guac for $14. Looking for the best value, a couple of us split the roasted salmon with "risotto" for $28. The salmon was perhaps the smallest piece of salmon I've seen for any upscale restaurant. And no risotto (only fake). Now, I understand the trade off between appearance, quality, and portion size. But I am disappointed to report that all three were severely lacking. Not only was the dish lacking in aesthetics, but the salmon was overcooked and nearly tasteless. 1 star-- horrible P/Q. The calamari we had was also soggy and lacked actual meat-- gross. The one redeeming feature of the restaurant was its beautiful interior. Perhaps it was designed as a club or a real pub at first, but the ornateness of its second-floor bathrooms and downstairs seating area is unmatched by other similar establishments. Staff tried to be accommodating, but messed up the bill; tried to overcharge. Another X in my book. Definitely avoiding if at all possible, and would strongly recommend others do the same.

Great atmosphere. Fun. Waiters were very good, bartenders seemed to have an attitude. Food was excellent. Portions a bit small. Quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Second visit and my opinion has changed just a bit. Staff is always friendly but my issue is with the food. This time I ordered the ribs, I very much regretted my decision. They tasted like the kind of ribs you buy at a supermarket vacuum sealed in plastic and just heat up. The ribs were not heated up enough, the slaw on the side was ehhhh just a sloppy bland glob, Mac and cheese nothing spectacular just dry elbow pasta with just enough cheese to call it Mac& cheese a bit dry. The prices are too steep for the type of food and quality. While I do understand this is Greenwich Avenue and rent must be high, I also highly recommend the chef steps up his game to justify such prices for tavern style food. I like my food hot and savory this was not. My first time the chowder was outstanding and filling, this time it was mostly broth. The actually delicious steak sandwich after the meat is grilled should be cut thinner so that it requires less hand work ripping it away from your mouth when eating. Again, burgers are always great. Will I come back? Of course.... But I will let my opinion be known to the staff in a very polite tone that is. I want to help them get better by giving feedback not trash them. See you soon, I'm not giving up on you yet.

Very good burgers. I had the turkey burger and my boyfriend had the bacon-jam burger. The service wasn't the best. Our waitress delivered the Bavarian pretzel appetizer before serving us our cocktails and also forgot to give us plates. She was very apologetic but it was obvious she was very busy. When my boyfriend received his burger, there was no bacon or jam. Just a plain cheeseburger! We had to send it back and once again the waitress apologized. The ambiance was very romantic especially if you sit in the back by the fireplace. They still have Christmas trees on top of the fireplace so it feels like December. Overall, the food, cocktails, and atmosphere was awesome, just lacking better service or maybe more staff to assist with a busy Saturday night.

When my beloved Cask in Stamford closed I thought nothing could ever fill that hole until I found out that Ginger Man existed and was owned by the same people! Many of the dishes are the same which is amazing (is. Wings, pretzel, tuna tar tar, lamb reuben) but the menus at Ginger Man is even bigger! I had the chicken paillard sandwich which was fabulous! My husband had the salmon which he said was very good as well. The restaurant was extremely accommodating with his food requests which is always a plus! I did feel like the ambiance was a little dive-bar ish which I didn't love but it wouldn't stop me from coming back. The service was pretty good and our waiter was a great listener. I do wish he would have checked on us more because we would have had a second drink but since he didn't return, we did not. Overall very happy with our evening!

Pretty good food but their servers are terrible and they typically have attitude. We only go here when there are no other options and prepare for the worst.

Overall had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was great and the food was good. The only thing that brought it down was the pretzel tasted store bought. The serving staff and hostesses are amazing.

The service here was great, we were seated promptly and our server was super friendly. The bussing staff was also on top of clearing our table immediately and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately, after really enjoying the appetizer of pulled pork nachos, neither of us cared for our entrees. I ordered the Mac and cheese, (not the pesto version) and found it to be pretty bland, as someone who eats Mac and cheese quite often, and also makes it at home occasionally from scratch, I know that there are a lot of ways to make a good Mac and cheese. My fiancé had the buffalo wings, and while he liked the sauce, he thought the wings themselves were not very good. Most likely frozen, and overcooked. This is not my first visit to The Ginger Man, and I've had better experiences in the past at brunch. I'll still come back, but I'll try different entrees, or stick with the brunch menu.

Stopped by The Ginger Man on a Sunday while visiting family in town. There was no line outside, so I figured why not grab appetizers and drinks before heading back into the city (I did not want to hit traffic). My parents, fiance, and I ordered drinks, tuna tartare, and the soft pretzel to nibble on. Drinks were delicious! I had the Downeast Pumpkin Blend cider and it was one of my all time favorite fall drinks. I love pumpkin beer, so thats probably why. I actually love pumpkin everything. The soft pretzel and cheese dip was delicious and flavorful. The tuna tartare with avocado was fresh, but way too sweet. If they could cut down on sweetness, that would be perfect. Service was great and the server was friendly and attentive. Next time, I'm around town, I'll definitely stop by to try their main dishes.

This was our first visit. The place is very authentic inside. We took a BBQ hamburger. It came fast and it tasted delicious. We will definitely come back

This place is great. The ambiance is spectacular. The Is old New England building but done perfectly. The food is great and the staff are Attentive

German beer Hall meets cozy British pub with The Ginger Man in Greenwich. This restaurant was very quaint, comfortable and felt like the perfect winter spot for a dinner out with friends. We chose to sit in the main room by the large fireplace, though sadly the fireplace wasn't operating that night. I've been told the main dining room with the central fireplace is the best spot in the house! The food was good, and we shared a starter of pesto Mac and cheese for the table. The macaroni was super creamy and the pesto flavor complemented it well. For a main entree, I chose the fish and chips, which was cooked well, served with plenty of fries. The white martini was nice, a change up from a traditional cosmo but my favorite beverage had to be the Mulled Cider with rum. A neat fact: you can pick how you want to spike your cider from multiple liquor options.

I enjoy going to Ginger Man. The food variety and quality for an Irish pub is very good (I highly recommend the grilled octopus!). The food and drink menu is fairly priced considering the location on Greenwich Ave. It feels very cozy inside with natural wood all around. The servers are average, and I've seen the bartender get a bit snippy with patrons.

Sat people walking in after me before me like 5 different bigger groups and counting it seems they pick and choose favorites

Delicious food and a great staff make this one of Greenwich Avenue's best restaurants. They take all major credit cards and keep one of the tidiest ladies room on Greenwich, Ave. I have had meals there with my family and the portions are generous. They make a great burger and have awesome desserts.

We had our wedding welcome party upstairs and could not have asked for a better location! The bartenders and staff were amazing, food was great and space was great. We definitely recommend hosting your next event at Ginger Man!

Gingerman is a local favorite. Whether it's a cold winter day or a hot summer night you can't go wrong. In the winter they have an amazing cheese fondue ! I especially love the pesto Mac and cheese, pretzel with beer cheese dip and their mussels are sublime. It's a casual place with a bar area and the back room is especially great when it's cold because their is a cozy fireplace.

The food is always excellent - the service could you a little help. If you you want a place to chill and have a great burger - this is the place to go.

Just OK. A bit pricey. Beer menu is no longer as extensive as it used to be. Hostess was quite nice.

Stopped into The Ginger Man for lunch. My friend and I ordered Bloody Mary's and requested them to be extra spicy. They were not, nor did they have the traditional olive garnish. We ordered the buffalo wings well done and they were very good. We then ordered the chicken sandwich and flatbread margarita. The menu clearly said the flatbread was made with fresh mozzarella and basil. When the bartender brought it to us, I asked where the basil was and he said it was in the sauce. That was a ridiculous answer as the menu clearly stated it came with fresh basil and the mozzarella was not fresh either. It wAs as tasty as an Ellios frozen pizza. The bartender should have checked with the kitchen, he did not. The chicken sandwich was dry and also lacking fresh mozzarella and the aioli the menu said it had. The other folks at the bar were very nice, I would not return here.

From the outside Ginger man looks like any typical bar. It has a normal bar awning and doesn't look like much. Right when you walk in that changes. This is like stepping back in time to a late 1800's bar/restaurant. It is located right in the heart of Greenwich on the avenue. There is a cool fireplace in the dining area in the back and a cozy vibr to it overall. As for the food, the Kale salad was small almost like a side so if you are hungry order something else with it. The stir fry cauliflower appetizer was solid. It had a nice sauce to it. This places takes you back in time. Greenwich has these types of places and I am glad I found it. It isn't a cheap lunch but it is delicious. I would recommend it if you looking for a unique place for lunch.

Casual place with a good menu and beer selection. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Definitely a good choice.

The staff is really friendly. My glass was never empty. They made sure we had everything we needed. The fireplace on the back room added a nice touch on a cold day. The food is another story. I had the Lamb Reuben. It should be a crime to call this a Reuben sandwich (no rye bread, no Swiss cheese, no sauerkraut, questionable Thousand Island dressing). We also ordered the clam chowder and fish and chips. These were okay, but overall, this is not a place I would come back to for the food. Almost choking on my dry "Reuben" gave me a flashback to realize that I had eaten here in pre-Covid days -- and the food wasn't good then either. The Ginger Man had a great location, good ambiance, and great staff in its favor. We want to see businesses succeed in this town! We would definitely not come back for the food.

Food was good. Service was great. Nice menu, too. Sidewalk cafe a little uncomfortable. We would return. You should try it.

Ordered some takeout food from here and it was good. You can tell they're taking all the right precautions during a pandemic. Masks, spacing people out while eating, Lysol, antibacterial gel etc We ordered the Turkey chili $14, a bit steep for a smaller portion but with that being said, it was very good. Just on the small side. A kids chix and fries. Very good. Tasty. Good quality chicken. Fish and chips- absolutely incredible. They forgot the malt vinegar I asked for it 2x. All good very good. Cozy inside.
