Charleston’s fortunate to have such a variety of Greek eateries scattered across the city. Manny’s in upper West Ashley is definitely one of the more lively spots, with a sports bar vibe and copious TV screens. The secret weapon at Manny’s isn’t the cluster of ball games and highlight shows across the room, or the meaty burgers and hand-tossed pizzas — it’s their well-prepared Greek specialties. Order the sizeable Manny’s Platter … and split it with someone you like. Juicy gyro slices and Greek-seasoned chicken strips are surrounded by stacks of pita bread, tzaziki, brine-y stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita, salty Greek olives, freshly crumbled feta, tomatoes, a few big pepperoncinis, and sliced cucumbers. For $13.99, it’s an overwhelming feast for cheap.
