Fried Chicken Joint · Williamsburg · 553 tips and reviews
AskMen: Pies-n-Thighs is back to its leggy tricks with lard-fried chicken, Carolina pulled pork, fried catfish and a host of blood-flow-inhibiting sides like mac and cheese, grits, hush puppies, and biscuits.
Brad Benson: Fried chicken & catfish were excellent! Get the Super Bowl (3 sides) and split with a friend to try more! Don't pass up the cornbread, biscuits, or hush puppies!
Lisa W: 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.

Tin Dizdarevic: Sit outside if you can! Awesome hush puppies, fried chicken and pickles, but the winner is the messy "Becky" burger!

AskMen: An Old West hang complete with worn tables, swinging doors, plenty of beer & (soon) an autopiano. The menu registers similarly, with late-night service on options like burgers, wings and hush puppies. Read more.

Nora Gomez: the fried chicken is great. other tasty dishes- oysters, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. don't let the long wait scare you aware. sit by the bar, have a drink and order some hushpuppies.
Foodspotting: Try the Hush Puppies
Serious Eats: Southern-inspired and always interesting, Buttermilk Channel is worth checking out. The grilled flatbread and vegetable sides with cheddar waffles are always stand outs.

Amy Mixa: Unique chicken and waffle offerings! I also really liked the hush puppies appetizer.
Grace Barr: Mac n cheese is a must. The hush puppies were delicious. Fried chicken was hot and juicy with a crisp skin. The bacon & cheddar waffle wasn’t too strong, the texture was light with a crisp outside.
Pamela Martinetti: OMG waffles and chicken, a must!

Chris Plunkett: Legit homemade Tater Tots. The Burger & Chicken Biscuit are superb.
Gothamist: Wings run $10 for 8, the tater tots ($3) are a solid accoutrement to a $5 beer-and-whiskey shot deal, or you can opt for the white cheddar mac & cheese ($10) and shell out for an Old Fashioned ($9). Read more.
J Crowley: Here's a great game. Try to identify the portraits hanging on the wall. The bartender has a piece of paper with all the answers.

Piet Aukeman: Good vibes on tap. Food comes so fast you'll swear they're telepathic. Oh, and make sure to dip your festivals (Jamaican hushpuppies) in the goat curry.
Margaret Suh: Pulled pork hash. Rice and peas. Do it 😋
The New Yorker: “Glady’s…seems determined to do for the sandwich what Franny’s helped to do for pizza, elevating it from pedestrian fast food to something worth sitting down and waiting for.” Read more.

Linnea Covington: They have a great selection of cheap and good bottles of wine. It's a better deal than buying by the glass. Also, amazing bread and I highly recommend the tilefish, if it's on the menu.
MM: well worth the wait for brunch! the bread basket was awesome as are all the food. Outstanding!
Tamar Kornblum: I've never had a meal that was less than outstanding. Local/seasonal everything, $29 3-course market menu is a steal.
