Jamie DumbillDecember 30, 2014Big portions, crispy chicken and good value for money. Expect a queue and to have to wait outside so don't go on a rainy day
Sir DouglasJanuary 20, 2015Get the chicken fried steak. The gravy alone is worthy of being put in a bowl by itself and served alone. Thank me later!
Morgan ThomasFebruary 3, 2015Get the fried chicken box. The biscuits are tasty but avoid that mac and cheese (tastes like the stuff from the box). Any pie you choose will be good.
TheGreatone MillsMay 25, 2015The best chicken joint that I ever had and for the others that are hating do not be mad because your chicken joint is not doing as good as them they can't help that yeah I said it
Mike JacobsonSeptember 6, 2013Besides the chicken, get the collard greens. Best I've ever had. This was place was so good I literally bought the shirt.
LesleannJanuary 29, 2012"Pies 'n' Thighs makes Cinnamon-Sugar doughnuts in both yeast and cake form, but it's the cake doughnut, dusted in the perfect ratio of cinnamon to sugar, which stands out." - Serious Eats
Apart from having top-notch fried chicken, the insane burger here is actually my favorite burger in NYC. And all of the sides are great. Cash only!
Ricky SherrillSeptember 20, 2014The fried chicken, shrimp and grits, pulled pork, & the brisket. Can't go wrong with any of them.
Manda ShettletonJanuary 24, 2015The burnt end black beans and chicken biscuit are what my dreams are made of (and also my hangover meals). I don't think the waiters give a shit but oh well. You're here for the food.
Emily KaneSeptember 20, 2015Fried chicken done right. Come hungry and make sure to out the hot sauce on any morsel of food that you can.
Micah LatterJanuary 7, 2012Great chicken biscuit, but got without all the sauce. Also, pies are not great. My table tried four and none were fantastic. Still a cute spot with good food.
JeffreyAugust 31, 2014No matter how fancy or far-flung the food world gets, there will always be room for cheese grits, cake doughnuts, and the full roster of sides.
Casey SchoonoverOctober 24, 2014Of course the fried chicken is awesome but the catfish!! Don't sleep on the catfish!! And get some collards.- Sabrina DukesNovember 7, 2015The donuts! I'm not much of a donut fan, but the donuts here are delish. U might need to share though, they're huge!
- Ike RuffinSeptember 2, 2012They have the best fish n' grits in New York. Chicken and waffles with strawberries and cinnamon butter are a great choice.
Rahul GuptaJanuary 8, 2018The fried chicken sandwich is possibly the best food when you're drunk. It sobered me up, and tasted amazing.
Anthony RSeptember 23, 2013Order a chicken biscuit and be amazed at how your brain will suddenly begin chanting "I will be back here again..." over and over and over again.- Rahul GuptaJanuary 8, 2018The fried chicken sandwich is possibly the best food when you're drunk, it sobered me up and was super tasty!
Erika GrijalvaOctober 15, 2014The chicken 'n waffles is a delight, very juicy chicken. The biscuits with gravy is also delicious.
Sarah SolovelyAugust 2, 2019The three piece fried chicken is delicious!! I loved the homemade biscuit with the whipped honey butter!!!
ReALTOAugust 20, 2012"I had never tasted fried chicken that had the perfect balance of crispiness, seasonings, and juiciness until now" http://gorealto.com/blog/?p=733
the chicken sandwich - kind of like a BLAT with fried chicken & ranch dressing - is as messy as it is delicious. ask for extra napkins in advance.

Courtney R.August 3, 2014Hard to get a table but WELL WORTH THE WAIT! The Chicken & Waffles will change your life.
Amina HussainMay 13, 2014Chicken biscuit is great. Good desserts too. Come here expecting to leave feeling very full. Food is very heavy.
Cynthia Trogisch-TeixeiraApril 18, 2017As a fried chicken aficionado, I searched for fried chicken & this one came up as #2. I would have to disagree. Everything LOOKED good but was sadly lacking in taste and seasoning.Donuts were decent.
Mary LeeAugust 11, 2014For brunch - go sharesies with the hash, chicken biscuit and chicken n waffles for a hearty meal for 4.
chris brownSeptember 8, 2012chicken, chicken, chicken! ... literally chant worthy. don't forget a side of their signature mac + cheese with hot sauce, yuuuum.
Canada O'DayMarch 5, 2012The fried chicken was on point and this is coming from someone who grew up regularly on it. Love that the waffles are buckwheat, too.
Steve LiverpoolNovember 11, 2013Chicken and Waffle spot with a twist of desserts. It's another must try in Williamsburg Brooklyn.
Breakfast is great here. I had sunny side up eggs with home made bread, will come back many times.
Erin SheaApril 12, 2011This place is awesome. On a sunny day, head to the bak patio and start with the fish tacos! (and from there, you'll want to order...basically everything on the menu).
Janet LinJuly 11, 2018Fried green tomato sandwich - blfgt. Bourbon pecan pie is heavy on the bourbon, as it should be
New York HabitatOctober 21, 2011Tucked away in Williamsburg is this scrumptious soul food haven. Keep things simple and go for the chicken and waffles with a biscuit.- Joseph EylesApril 11, 2018The Cuban Sandwich is incredible, fried chick is top notch and great pale ale on tap too
Ruby AnayaJune 21, 2015Quality ingredients at this price *and* cooked to a chicken 'n biscuit perfection? Oh yea and get the mac 'n cheese.
Christopher BOctober 4, 2015I know this is heresy but it was just ok. Chicken was cooked perfectly but crust was not special. Waffles are buckwheat and don't pair well with chicken. Why be healthy on the waffles?!
WyngspanJanuary 27, 2014Chicken biscuit or a donut for breakfast? That is a tough decision for anyone to make. Pies 'n' Thighs gives you both options. http://bit.ly/LfvP4J- Kathryn YuDecember 21, 2011Avoid the fried chicken and waffles. Their twist on this dish is buckwheat waffles with fresh fruit. Unnecessary and does not constitute true chicken and waffles!
Can't go wrong with the Fried Chicken Box, so much food! However, they do taken an awful amount of time brining it out.
Chicken Biscuit + side + donut / pie slice. No need to overthink it.
Freka SexyFebruary 2, 2015This place has delicious fried chicken, pancakes, pies, biscuits with gravy, etc. It's a death trap though lol
Sarah TierneyDecember 14, 2014Amazing chicken biscuits with honey and hot sauce. Also, their donuts are pretty fantastic.
Katie PJanuary 28, 2012Love love love the chicken sammie. Also chili cheese fries? ALWAYS YES. Wish the service was slightly more on par with the incredible food though

Pies ’n’ Thighs started in 2006, in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge. We took over a beer storage closet and transformed it into a tiny kitchen with six stools, serving huge donuts, two-napkin smoked pork sandwiches and salty, crispy fried chicken.
