I just are the red chilli pork stew and I am going to feel satisfied for the next 24 hours and sleep so well tonight.

Get the fried chicken plate and smear the honey butter all over the chicken. Hot fish is DAMN SPICY!
Natalie YoungSeptember 21, 2016
Be prepared to not be able to find a seat and receive extra shitty service. After you've come to terms with that, order the chicken sandwich or the burger. They will make up for everything else.

Best queso ever. Get it with the kale salad to balance out.

Rum punch, nachos, burgers. All day. Everyday.
Jessica KimSeptember 17, 2013
Two words...honey butter. Fried chicken was good - burning hot, but good. That honey butter was something else though.
Kevin RickertJanuary 10, 2015
Sandwiches are awesome, nice low key cocktail skewed bar.

the Cadillac Nachos are a delicious pile of amazing - get them & share them with the world.
Ryan ScannuraAugust 26, 2013
Was a total zoo on a Wednesday night. Barely room to move. We were lucky to find a table. Amazing frozen margs, $10 each.
Mauricio GAugust 16, 2012
The "Adult Cheese" is possibly the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Nothing fancy but boy is it good!
Eitan LidergotAugust 23, 2014
Good fried chicken and chicken sandwiches... Nachos are pretty good as well.
Village VoiceJanuary 20, 2011
I like: the beet and corn salad, the fried chicken, the staff, and the back bar- if Milton is working, ask for a buttermaker.

Ideal Meal: Fried chicken with biscuits and “Saltie” potato salad or “adult cheese” sandwich and green-chile hominy. Read more

It takes a whiskey drink, it takes a vodka drink. It takes a lager drink, it takes a cider drink.

Fried Chicken platter (comes w/ 3 pieces of chix and 3 biscuits), mac & cheese, and kale. Delicious!
Alexandria VaradyJune 1, 2013
$3 whiskey shots. $3 beers. Up North-Michigan-cottage-basement vibe. Basically the best.
Alex RobertsonDecember 3, 2018
“Williamsbrau” beer for $3/pint seems eminently reasonable for a place like this though
Erica DaoSeptember 26, 2013
If you ever end up here, treat yourself to a cheeseburger. It's pure bliss. You're welcome.

The fried chicken and the burger are to die for.
Luyba ZeylikmanOctober 19, 2016
Nachos and wings and drinks oh my! Great place, great atmosphere!
Carolyn TAugust 16, 2011
The fried chicken plate and the 7 layer dip are crazy good. Split it all though since portions are big.
Robert PirainoFebruary 22, 2013
Very dimly lit bar, great food! Try the Adult Cheese. It's epic!

Frozen mojito!! Consider yourself very lucky if you find a table.
Tiffany SerraMarch 2, 2014
4pm is the best time to get here. Order anything and everything.

Fried chicken and pina cola! Strange combination, I know- but totally worked !
Sam RoosDecember 10, 2013
The Fried Chicken Plate is a life changing experience and is totally shareable.

While the planters punch may look a bit silly, it is very potent. 2 of those and you'll feel no pain. And all the chicken dishes are incredible.
EvaAugust 7, 2011
Ask for a grapefruit/vodka/mint cocktails from Miles. Sit at bat or on patio. Order chicken. Done and done.
