Walk across the Wburg Bridge w/ your favorite girl and treat her to a chicken biscuit w/ profresh people watching on the side. If she's not into it: dump her, take me.

Keep this one simple: You go to Pies 'n' Thighs for some of the city’s best fried chicken, served in a “box” or in hot sauce and honey butter biscuit sandwich, as well as a fine selection of pies. Read more

The dense, softball-sized cake doughnuts are great, but the best is the sourdough doughnut. It’s somewhere between cake and yeasted in texture and totally unlike any other in the city. Read more

Try the three piece "box," which doesn't come in a box but does include a side (any of which are first-rate) and biscuit (upon which you should pour honey). Read more

The Bitches Say: A. The comfort food and relaxed vibe results in a finger-lickin’ good brunch, if you can stand to wait in line. The chicken biscuit puts Chik-fil-A to shame! Read more

Of all the ways you can sandwich eggs and cheese, a buttery biscuit is among the best. At Pies N Thighs, the Banjo just does that, with the option to add bacon or sausage to the mix. Read more

Very fine fried chicken and biscuits, and an even better rotating selection of pies, have kept Pies ‘N’ Thighs a neighborhood favorite for over 10 years.

Frying up the best chicken in Williamsburg, and some of the best in Brooklyn, Pies-N-Thighs represents a sort of hipsterized Southern diner, a "meat and three" place that delivers "meat and one." Read more

This is the place that got me to eat chicken thighs. My favorite is the Chicken and Waffles which comes topped with cinnamon butter and seasonal fruit. The Arnold Palmer is a nice non-alcohol drink.

We got a order of onion rings and two chicken and waffles. It came out to $35. Nice ambience. It was like a 20 min wait on a Wednesday night and the space is a little small. But the food was great!

Go with the Chicken Box. 3 pieces of hot chicken biscuit and side. Chicken is amazing. Tiny place so seating can be a wait.
Jess NaldoMay 27, 2015
Nothing more obvious than the fried chicken biscuit and the Mac & Cheese then wash that down with their classic Arnold Palmer. Smile, have a slice of pie, go home and cuddle your boo/dog/teddy.
Jacqueline HuieSeptember 26, 2016
The fried chicken, the coleslaw, the delicate fries. The huge, buttery, flakey & fluffy biscuit even better w/ a drizzle of honey. The peach sangria 😋

Once you get past the apathetic service, you’ll be blown away by their Fried Chicken Box (get the cheese grits) and finish it off with a slice of Banana Cream Pie. The doughnuts are great too!
Christina TorresJuly 9, 2014
Scrooge tip- get the Super Bowl with chicken as a side sub. Basically a make your own chicken biscuit with two sides for the price of one! Ps- try the watermelon agua fresca 👍
Vicky SunMarch 9, 2014
Get the Rob Evans for brunch. Just look at that photo. The sweet tea is also fantastic and don't forget to treat yourself to a butter pecan donut, even if it is to go.
Maria MontesanoMay 3, 2015
The biscuits are great! But on my most recent visit the fried chicken was SCARY! A thigh was still bloody in the middle. Not like a little red vein but like still raw under the skin, dripping blood.
RaulMarch 10, 2013
One doughnut is enough for two, a side of ice cold milk and you my friend just had the most amazing appetizer before you have the most amazing main course (chicken heaven)
Nader NouraeeJuly 28, 2014
Their whole menu is great but try the chicken box with hush puppies. Moist and tender pieces, perfectly seasoned and crispy hush puppies with tangy tartar sauce, and the best biscuit you'll ever have.

The Long John at Pies 'n' Thighs: Not just for fried chicken and meringue, this beloved brunch spot also rotates special, sugary treats. (Bonus: A new restaurant just opened in the Manhattan.)
Donna McJuly 1, 2013
Tourist tip: I'm sure the pies 'n' thighs are delicious, but do not leave without trying a donut... I think the one I had was called Pecan Butter Crunch? I call it amazing.
Phil BucklerAugust 9, 2014
The fried chicken here is so delicious. Make sure you get hot sauce too. Oh and Mac and Cheese. Oh and the biscuit. Ahh it's all good
Ashley ChanApril 22, 2017
The chicken biscuit is a great combo, especially because of the hot sauce- but the highlight for me were the desserts here! The chocolate cake donut was probably the best donut I've ever had.

One of my favorite casual spots in Brooklyn. Chicken and biscuit sandwich with honey and hot sauce is great. Love their sausage gravy too.

Here's a awesome tip! On Tuesdays and Thursdays head over to Williamsburg Cinema's for $8 movie day.. Then take your ticket to Pies N Thighs to get a free drink with a sit down purchase!!!! Awesome
Jake SmithOctober 19, 2013
If you're too stuffed for dessert or heading to a gathering, grab a pie to go! I highly recommend the "Candy Bar" pie if it is available on special.

"Ad-Rock, Champagne JizzleBacon in the pan, non-stop sizzle Pies and Thighs, we got Wise chips" You probably wont live long eating here everyday but who wants to live forever.

Hot damn, the chicken biscuit with hot sauce is amazing. Get a side of hush puppies too!🙌
Olivia PMay 10, 2016
The best fried chicken I've had in Brooklyn (and maybe Manhattan?). The hush puppies are out of this world. Mac and cheese is nothing special, but get the hush puppies!!
Lisa WFebruary 20, 2013
Amazing fried pickles, cheese grits, hush puppies & sour cherry pie. I had leftover chicken/biscuit in my purse all day, on a flight home to Chicago, & it was still juicy and amazing next day. Magic.
Katuria NorwoodJanuary 15, 2014
Try the Chicken Biscuit your first time and then try everything else when you come back. Fun to share the donuts and pie. My favorite hands down is the bourbon pecan pie with chocolate.

Nestled among Pies 'N' Thighs’ menu of buttery biscuits and crispy poultry is a slew of wonderful pie options to cap off your meal. Read more

Good ol' comfort food is great for the soul. Fried chicken box followed with a slice of sour cherry pie. Classic. Also I had no idea 'A la mode' meant 'with a scoop of ice cream' but hey i'm foreign.

Please try out the Chicken and Waffles while you’re here! Two pieces of fried chicken with two buckwheat waffles, topped with cinnamon butter and apples.
Argelys OriachNovember 16, 2015
I got the chicken pot pie and it was good. Could've been warmer. The fried chicken box was on point, though. Best biscuit I've ever had, and the mac was to die for!
Mike BerriosSeptember 14, 2013
Good food. The hot sauce has good flavor and compliments everything very well. Catfish, Mac and cheese, sour cherry pie, chicken biscuit were all good. Beans were the only thing I didn't like to much

Southern food at its finest. Go with anything fried. Chicken Biscuit is delicious, crispy sweet and spicy. All the sides are delicious too from Mac and cheese to baked beans.
Barton SmithJune 21, 2015
Chicken biscuit is better than the chicken box. Generally, the chicken is on the drier side and less flavorful if that's your thing. Mac n Cheese is delicious and not too heavy.
Jesse BagelsSeptember 22, 2015
Don't bother w the dark meat unless it's really your thing, the white meat is just perfect, nicely salted batter, amazing biscuit too
Stina P.June 25, 2015
so affordably delicious - get the chicken and waffles, chicken and biscuit, onion rings with horse radish, root beer, and just any of the awesome fried goodness
Luis MendozaJuly 8, 2015
The Chicken & Waffles are 👌🏼. The roasted peaches on the buckwheat waffle with cinnamon butter is perfection. Get it!
Serious EatsApril 20, 2013
Crisp fried chicken, warm, fluffy biscuits, and tender doughnuts all at reasonable prices. Good for breakfast, too.
Ajaya WilliamsJune 4, 2013
Gotta be the sea salt. Nice crispy pieces. Mac & Cheese reminds me of easy Mac. Nothing to write home about. Love that they will give you a free refill to go.

1. LOSE WEIGHT. What's in a name? All you need to know. Serving up all the bourbon pecan & apple pies, fried chicken biscuits in honey butter & hot sauce, you'll need to cushion those thighs of yours. Read more

Super cute place for brunch w the bf. Great casual ambiance and the food is amazing! I recommend the chicken biscuit!!! It's to die for! Def going back!
Kristina RudicApril 22, 2016
If you get the munchies a little late at night, this is your place! Get the chicken with mac and cheese for sure.
Erik CintronSeptember 19, 2012
Awesome fries chicken simple menu just good ol southern cooking. The place was small but had that relax laid back feeling. Friendly staff and have their pies delicious.. Good prices but no alcohol :(
Wendy QiAugust 8, 2014
Delicious! But a bit overpriced for what you get - they've since upped their prices by 20+% from what you see here on foursquare and while good, you can find comparable places with better value
Raquelle JessieJanuary 2, 2016
Best fried chicken i've ever had. The biscuits are amazing & the hot sauce is fantastic. 1 of the best meals ever.
