    Had the buffalo chicken and blue cheese waffles, and excellent. The Sweet Chick Pale Ale is also excellent.

    This restaurant is such a tease. Only two pieces of the juiciest tenderest fried chicken I ever had in the brunch entree. Can I just have ALL of the fried chicken please?

    The wait for brunch is very long. Leave your name and explore the area. Brunch is amazing here!

    Oh my god - the chicken and waffle dishes are bananas. Recommend the carbonara fried chicken.

    Great area. Got the general tso's chicken with broccoli/rice waffles. Very interesting! I do think the chicken glaze could have been a bit sweeter! Other than that, great.

    Everything is delicious. If you are not up to some waffles, go for the chicken fried sandwich. The pickled red onion in it is fantastic.

    For those who work weekends like me, weekday brunch it with Sweet Chick. Plus, I am all about home made desserts and local dranks!

    Be prepared to loosen your belt buckle with these savory fried chicken and waffle combos. Sweet Chick was listed in The Village Voice’s 10 Best Fried Chickens in NYC.

    The waffles & mac cheese were amazing! Also, the two times I went here I got a stomachache and had to go straight home both times .. So just keep that in mind

    Chicken was very good. The waffles are fantastic. Puts Pies n Thighs down a notch on the list. My only caveat: why do we need music that loud? I can't hear my friends!

    Wild Child salad (add chicken) rules it all! A balanced bowl of veggie, protein, vitamins, carbs, and flavors

    Awesome vegetarian chicken, it's surprisingly realistic and their butter flavored are really creative. Only downside is that it's pretty noisy.

    Best time to come on the weekend is from 4 to 6. You miss the brunch crowd and get in before the dinner rush. Oh and try to save room for dessert!

    Great chicken and waffles...for Brooklyn. Not as greasy or satisfying as Amy Ruth's but it'll do just fine. Also, get the Tiger Woods cocktail.

    Holy shit. The Eggs Benedict here is next level. Why have I never had it on a southern style biscuit and smoked chicken? Plus don't sleep on the chicken and waffles

    The sweet and spicy honey chicken is the best. Waffles taste like the best Sunday mornings.

    The cocktails are as great as the chicken. The pork stomach nuggets were kind of boring though.

    Chicken and waffles are to die for. Ask for more butters. They have strawberry butter which i think its a perfect combo.

    If you come here and order anything but the chicken & waffles, you're a fool. It's amazing, but you probably don't want to come here every day...

    Chicken sandwich is good. Upscale fast food. Biscuit is absolutely terrible. It is like a pillsbury crescent roll. Would never get that again.
