Dennis HansenJuly 15, 2016The fried chicken sandwich is really good! Don't forget to drizzle honey and hot sauce all over it!
Natalie VJanuary 24, 2016Everything is good here, especially love the sandwich with pimento cheese and Mac and cheese.
Joe OJune 15, 2015So good. You can't go wrong. It was nice and quiet on a Sunday evening. Great service, too
These biscuits are about as close to the real southern deal as you can get in yankee country. Chicken and tomato bread pudding are great too
Adrianna GrężakAugust 18, 2013Cheap eats without the cheap decor. Great fried chicken and I was happy to see sandwich options. Try the potato salad
Jack GashiOctober 29, 2014Fried chicken was divine, grits were hot and delicious, biscuit warmed my soul like a winter lover. Go here.
The best fried chicken in town. Always moist and perfect with honey and hot sauce
Emily KaneJanuary 5, 2016Incredible happy hour! ALL DAY Monday-Wednesday with $4 (good) draft beers and $6 wine. 4-7pm on Thursday and Friday.
John HeardMarch 5, 2017You have to get the mac and cheese. Bite down on everything here though. Literally each bite was better than the one before.
Nikki W.April 26, 2014Catfish sandwich is delicious and the collards are some of the best I've ever had.
Stan TranFebruary 4, 2018Used to be even better when they had the family meal, but this is still the best fried chicken in the East Village
Obviously the chicken is amazing but seriously the roasted Brussels sprouts are worth the trip alone. Perfection. Thank you
Mike FraiettaNovember 11, 2014Since you can't consciously support Chick-fil-A, get and exceed your fried chicken sandwich (extra pickles) fix here.
James CubbonFebruary 16, 2013Best fried chicken I've ever had. And best biscuits. And lovely service. And its in Alphabet City, which is nice.
Ruby AnayaOctober 5, 2014Go as a group of four. Get the supper - 12 pieces of chicken and 3 sides. Perfect dinner.
GavinOctober 19, 2014Open up a pack of honey and hot sauce in the porkchop sandwich if you're not in the mood for the fried chicken.
Alex RobertsonFebruary 6, 2019best place to hang out, but definitely opt for the sandwiches over the other menu items imo
emeFebruary 4, 2015Excellent fried chicken supper and great chicken sandwiches. Staff is always friendly.
Nick JohnsonAugust 2, 2015Awesome, awesome fried chicken and really good beer. Plus: bar staff who know their beer.

Sarah FrazierFebruary 17, 2013The fried chicken dinner for 4 is the easiest, no-brainer dinner idea for grabbing a bite with friends!
- Peter CrysdaleSeptember 30, 2015The buffalo chicken sandwich is stellar! Get it with sweet tea for the ultimate combo :)
JillianOctober 12, 2016Sometimes BBQ mac n cheese falls short. Not the case...fried chicky AND the mac really hit the spot.
