Inspired by the diners of the northeast, whose menu had a little bit of everything and was heavily influenced by Greek cuisine—because, let’s face it, the majority were owned by Greek immigrants—the menu’s attractiveness was the diversity in its offerings. From Italian specialties to delicatessen classics, there were no rules or borders regarding types of cuisine, just a variety of options that have left many transplants and generations longing for just a glimpse of what once was.

An eclectic revolving menu of home-style specials, comfort food, fun spins on classics with beer and future spirit pairings, and an extensive wine list make The Food Republic a foodie’s paradise where comfort and a feeling of belonging are our mission.

Warm wood tones, deep, comfortable benches, and an array of worldly and whimsical art welcome you while our oversized tables encourage sharing and enjoying the moment and the company as much as our menu offerings.

We welcome you to The Food Republic.

    Lovely meal, beef empanadas were the best we’ve ever eaten. Chicken and waffles was quite good, chicken was crispy and flavorful, waffles fluffy and fresh. Chicken salad croissant was also delicious. Space was quite busy and crowded but to be expected on a Friday night. Our table was right in the center of the walkway so there was a fair amount of bumping and interruptions but just a minor annoyance. Service was friendly fast and just the right amount of attentiveness. Will certainly return.

    One of our favorite places. Wanted to try their brunch menu. Absolutely delicious!!! Started with Prosecco & hubby had Sangria. I especially enjoyed the Shakshuka with crusty bread for dipping!!! He saw a new addition to the menu- La Torta-pulled pork, black beans, cheddar egg on a brioche bun. Looked mouthwatering!!! I was very impressed & booked the restaurant for my ladies group. Just so you know- you must make a reservation in advance- definitely someplace to look forward to dining at!!! Service is always gracious. Chef Nikol makes the best comfort food ever.

    Overall such a disappointment. The food was awful. The fish and chips had inedible fish that was overly coated in batter. My steak frites had tough, tasteless meat with delicious French fries. French fries were the highlight of the evening! If you like French fries in an awkward dining room this is your spot. I will not be back here.
