In addition to fried chicken, you should try their huge Poutine too!

Get the rosemary vodka lemonade and if you order an entree you're best off sharing as they are enormous! Honey chicken biscuit sandwich gets my vote

Fried chicken with everything. I did it with pancakes and felt like Elvis.

I don't know why everyone freaks out about the fried pickles--they somehow managed to be both watery and oily. But the Sausage Gravy Smothered Chicken on a buttermilk biscuit is rib-sticking yum.

I have a wholly ambivalent relationship to the chicken proferred by this BUMPIN' UWS spot, but the pickles themselves are great.

Some of the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Beware of overloading on apps because entree portions are huge

Fried chicken with the sausage gravy is classic. Hot chicken is bomb too. BLT bloody!!

Been here a few times. I love the chicken and pancakes. It's very frustrating that they have such a large bathroom and no baby changing station. Had to change Logan on the floor once. Never fun.

Cheese grits are great. Fried Chicken is good. Be sure to bring a jacket if it's cold as the doors may be open!

The mac and cheese is delicious. It can be very busy though, so go off peak!

Amazing food but even better customer service. Jacob is awesome. Our food took a bit long to come out so he gave a us a growler worth of beer on the house!

One of the best mac n cheese with bacon. The fried chicken on a biscuit also beats most

Brooklyn comes to the Upper West Side, via a detour through the American South. So hip it hurts, but there is a pickle for whatever ails you.

For the indulgent types, treat yourself to their sausage gravy smothered buttermilk fried chicken. It's amazingly flavorful and never disappoints! –Dara

Split the biscuit French toast. It is neither French nor toast, but it is both delicious and massive.

Order the Biscuits and Fixins as soon as you sit down, then decide what else to order while you enjoy them, as they arrive quickly.

Everything is glorious. Be prepared to wait. It is totally worth it for biscuits and bacon and beer.

I've never been a huge fan of macaroni and cheese. But the Mac and cheese here far exceeded my expectations.

Chicken and pancakes with a Bloody Mary is heavenly
Macarena HmMarch 5, 2015
My favorite mac & cheese in the world. Order the BBQ ribs special!

The food is delish and the portions are massive. Savvas is the best server on the UWS!

Amazing food! Have the chicken honey, devil eggs and pickles off course!

Oatmeal with cherries, almonds & hemp seed = bliss (perhaps the only healthy menu item, too)
Kyle ByeMay 31, 2015
Stick to the chicken biscuit sandwiches (like the Chicken BLT). They're amazing and served with cheese grits!

I tried the fried pickles after seeing so many tips to get them but I wouldn't get them again. I guess I'm just not a fan. The chicken sandwiches, root beer floats, and caesar salad are all yummy!

Fair warning: the portions are HUGE. Everything is good. Get the Bloody BLT at brunch.

Free beer flight sample from Jacob, himself. What a quality dude, knows his beer inside and out

Serious winter time comfort food. A stout draft and fried chicken, egg, & cheddar cheese on a biscuit was dumb good.
