Ricky Sherrill: The fried chicken, shrimp and grits, pulled pork, & the brisket. Can't go wrong with any of them.
Erika Grijalva: The chicken 'n waffles is a delight, very juicy chicken. The biscuits with gravy is also delicious.
PureWow: 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.)

Gentrifried Chicken: ALMOST as good as Pies N Thighs. We get in fights over this one all the time. Either way, excellent fried chicken and the honey butter is a winner. Get a tiki drink with your meal. Read more.
Donny Tsang: Get the fried chicken plate and smear the honey butter all over the chicken. Hot fish is DAMN SPICY!
Village Voice: For the fried chicken lover, Chef Stephen Tanner’s kitchen serves up three crispy mammoth thighs and honey butter biscuits with the Egg and Pies ‘n’ Thighs, a dish you’re sure to love.

Nora Gomez: i've actually never bowled here. i have though, seen some great live music (worth it if there's a cover!), eaten some delicious food (please order fried chicken) and had thirst quenching libations.
Bachelor10: The food is provided by Blue Ribbon. The fried chicken is worth the trip alone, but the Rock n Roll Fries, Chicken Muffaletta and Brooklyn Brisket are not to be skipped either. Read more.
bennie sham: the fried chicken here is surprisingly delicious! great spices, crispy and not greasy at all.
Kai Brinker: Order from here when you're at Brooklyn Brewery's happy hour (it's right next door). A platter with three meats feeds two people well. Everything is excellent except the cornbread.
Tracy Qui: A bit off the beaten path but worth it. Great pulled pork,Mac n cheese and by far the best collards ever tasted. Pass on the corn bread.
Vicky O: Delicious! Get the beef brisket cooked to perfection. We had the collard greens and corn bread on the side so yum!

Lindsay: The burger, biscuits & gravy, house-made baked goods...everything on the menu was fantastic. Only glitch we found was the lack of service in the "take out" space.
vivan thi tang: without a doubt, a nyc fave.. ALWAYS! from the oysters to the tortilla de patata to the salads to the brick chicken to the pastas to the chocolate caramel tart with sea salt to the breakfast biscuit!
n g: A Williamsburg institution. Friendly staff and high quality ingredients. Brunch is fantastic. Recommend the biscuit and eggs as a primer -- the scones and spinach pie are among the best in NYC!

AmateurConcierge: One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I ever had
Alana: Solid brunch offerings, both food and drinks. Chorizo and Bean hash was a bit soupy and spicy, but yummy. Biscuit is amazing. Rustic home-y feel. Wasn't too crowded for Saturday brunch.
Jc Q: The burger and the fried chicken sandwich are the bomb! Good cocktails too!

Eva Nowakowski: The burgers are delicious. I wish they had sliders though. Mac and cheese is some of the best. Parmesan and garlic fries are also to die for. Staff is nice and friendly. Their BBQ sauce is heavenly.
Naomi Shibles: macaroni and cheese is perfection: radiatore with cubes of Irish bacon Read more.
Bravo: Hands-down the best burger in NYC. I order mine with blue cheese and caramelized onions. The mac and cheese with bacon can easily feed a family of four or one very hungry chef. -Jacqueline Lombard, To

Robert Brisita: There is definitely some sweet science coming out of the kitchen. Make sure to order the shrimps and grits; the combination of sauce and grits brings it to a culinary apex.
Jessica Imbert: Came for "black restaurant week" with a group of friends. Ambience is cool , laid back. The jalapeño grilled chicken salad was ok. First time having shrimp & grits, tasty . The wings were the best !
Silas Morrisey: The French toast🍓 together with the chicken waffles🍗, with a pint or two of beer… 🍻that's my traditional Graham Av Saturday breakfast 💯🆒💹🔙🔠🅰🆙
Rachel Martino: OMG the Buttermilk biscuit with egg and bacon on Sundays is out of this world. Best $6 I've spent in a long time.
Kate 💎 Kolenda: Good, bold cheese; nicely crisped baguettes; country biscuit with sorghum butter for the a.m. Steep chocolate mark up, but cute array of gourmet tools like marble cheese boards and wooden spreaders.
matt handler: sorghum biscuits

Claire-Louise McIntyre: Menu is an egg lovers delight. Beautiful, light and airy space. Friendly and welcoming staff. It's eggs every which way you can imagine. Can also recommend the side of fried chicken and hash browns.
Lucie Pustova: Great mix of southern breakfast food (fried chicken, waffles, biscuit) and trendy New York brunch food (kale, bowls). Recommend the sausage egg & cheese and the El Camino!
Jeff Solomon: Try something with the fried chicken. I had the Hot Chix sandwich and it was awesome
