Harumi UMarch 5, 2015Fried chicken was really salty (salt covered entire chicken surface) and my order was placed wrong. I had to ask for water and my main course came out only 5min after my appetizer arrived. Off day?
Joseph FisherJanuary 10, 2015Food is pretty good but extremely over-rated and a little overboard on the unnecessary hipster ingredients. Cocktails are good but not great. Service is good. I give it a 6.
Noah WeissJuly 27, 2014The fried chicken and waffle sandwich is brilliant. The Mac and cheese is perfectly gooey and crunchy on top. Skip the two hour waits and do takeout; it takes ten minutes.
Stephen MilbankNovember 10, 2015Chicken was great. Desserts were too reliant on marzipan ice cream -- which was not good.
Rachel W.September 4, 2014I like it here, but the fried chicken is WAY too salty (never a complaint of mine). Head over to Bob White instead.
Mike FriedmanDecember 13, 2014Not your average meatloaf. Deviled eggs. Drown everything in honey tabasco.
Patrick NgDecember 24, 2016Honestly we came here because of the reviews but I think it's highly overrated. The chicken was dry and the sides were only decent. Better to go to Bobwhite Counter.
Rock RainesSeptember 24, 2017Would have eaten here but I just saw a busser wipe down two tables with a towel that was so dirty I almost puked in my mouth. Maybe next time!
- Sabih RahmanAugust 18, 2017Upscale vibe. Upscale pricing. Average food. Don't bother fighting the basic Instagram crowd for a table here. Walk a couple of blocks to Bobwhite or Sweet Chick.
TomSeptember 15, 2014The fried chicken is indeed awesome but not worth the two hour wait. Our biscuits were stale and chewy.
Jess LauOctober 4, 2015It's good...not amazing but good enough for Ave B. The service is even less desirable.
