Chef Sarah is a fried chicken visionary. The Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, Shrimp & Grits, and the Crunchy Potato Salad are the must haves IMHO. ps. I want to eat here again like right now.

Finally, a fried chicken restaurant in NYC that also specializes in Champagne. Check out the below-street-level crispy birds and bubbly hideaway that opens up into a massive back yard. Read more

This is a newly opened restaurant dedicated wholly to crisp fried chicken and champagne. Sarah Simmons, the chef behind Soho culinary saloon City Grit, pairs the two at this Lower East Side project. Read more

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner is a solid fried chicken meal for 4 people, plenty of food. Come late in the evening and enjoy samples of the nearly finished bottles as they clear them out for the night.

Not up for the champagne and whole chicken? Try the Runner Up - Half Chicken, 3 sides, and a bread basket. The Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts are a must. Great for birthdays!

Whole chicken gets you a basket of bread/biscuits & 3 sides (Potato salad, coleslaw, vidalia sides all A+). BANANA PUDDING, a must. Pickled shrimp changes the gazpacho game. Did I mention the patio?

Fried chicken for sure, every part, even the white meat was moist. The crispy potatoes and Brussels sprouts are excellent sides to go with it.

sit in the backyard on a beautiful summer night. order the crunchy potato salad, half chicken, seasonal slaw, and crawfish étouffée. top it off with an old smoke

Brunch is to die for! The prices are a little high, but the food is delicious. Can't wait to go back for dinner
Ben K.May 16, 2015
Excellent southern cooking from Chef Sarah Simmons. Get the sriracha deviled eggs, shrimp & grits, fried chicken, crispy potato salad, and pineapple casserole.
Kailee CrawfordJune 24, 2016
The best fried chicken I've ever had. The potato salad is phenomenal, uniquely made with crispy potatoes. I've never had anything so flavorful before
Bin YangSeptember 29, 2014
Fried chicken of course!! The tomato pie is fantastic and you should definitely chat with your server about the champagne, they're all very knowledgable

An all-bets-are-off date spot from the woman behind City Grit. And what you’re going to find, in no particular order, is a lot of Southern delicacy. Also, a pretty delightful patio.

Solid fried chicken at a reasonable price. Yes, the potato salad is bomb and more like a home fry salad than the creamy stuff you'd expect

Great traditional southern cuisine paired with a choice of bubbly from a vastly curated in-house selection. Read more
VincentSeptember 11, 2014
The fried chicken is a must. The shrimp and grits were also very flavorful. I don't know if their dessert is a set menu, but if it is, get the banana pudding.
Amber LockwoodOctober 10, 2014
Love, love, love the crawfish étouffée and the brown butter with the bread basket. Sarah is super friendly too so make sure to sit on the porch and say hi!
Joanna FlammOctober 25, 2015
The half chicken was perfect for two, along with a few sides of course. Get the flight of champagne and compare; you really CAN taste the difference!
Cole KennedyJuly 7, 2015
The fried chicken is super fresh; they pull it through batter and it goes straight in a cast iron skillet full of canola oil. Delicious.
Eric TsaiAugust 7, 2016
If you come at 11am you will miss the typical brunch crowd. Fried chicken and biscuit is pretty legit though the salad is a bit sour for most people
Brittany JamesSeptember 3, 2014
You seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Sarah's cooking is out of this world! Though I have a soft spot southern cooking. 😉

At Southern-inspired Birds & Bubbles in NYC, creamy shrimp rillette is served alongside paper thin, black pepper crackers. Read more

If it's just two of you, ask about the Runner Up chicken dinner! The crispy potato salad and the Vidalia onion soufflé are great sides

the old smoke. the shrimp rillette. the deviled eggs. the crispy potatoes. the crawfish étouffée.
Daniel McDonoughFebruary 8, 2015
The Winner Winner Chicken Dinner is a perfect split for 4 people. Def get the crispy potatoes. Everything is so good.
Ryan BrightSeptember 3, 2015
Had the bird without the bubbles, but it was just as enjoyable. Split a bucket of chicken with a group and throw in any of the starters.
Emily CharltonFebruary 26, 2016
Really great dinner. We got the $55/person meal and everything that came out was delicious. Really great value.
Jorge UrrutiaApril 6, 2015
Deviled eggs, shrimp and grits, jalapeño cornbread and of course, fried chicken and a bottle of Raventos Cava!
Dan HolmMay 2, 2015
Amazing patio and great staff, biscuits are out of this world
Sara 🌈⚔🍾January 22, 2016
Fantastic brunch with fried chicken, champagne cocktails and bloody Mary's. Great biscuits too.
David RosenbergMarch 25, 2015
Get the Runner Up. It's not on the menu but includes the biscuit basket, 3 sides and a bucket of 🐥. You cannot argue with those numbers.
Lisa LNovember 3, 2014
Everything was scrumptious! The waiter steered us toward the perfect bottle of champagne!
kibbeMay 14, 2015
There's a 1/2 chicken special not on the menu where you can get 3 sides and a breadbasket. Ask about it! :)

The fried chicken, potato salad, biscuits, and birthday cake make the perfect meal. Plenty to share.
Ramez KFebruary 21, 2015
Pretty much everything is good here. Boudin balls and chicken are delicious. Sides are great.
Patricia SireraAugust 18, 2015
You would not expect southern food could be that AMAZING! specially when it comes to greasy things. Definitely go for the Chicken Dinner!!!
harryhSeptember 17, 2014
Make sure to get the crispy potato salad, the pimento croquettes, and of course the fried chicken.
PAMALAFebruary 27, 2016
Love this place! The food and atmosphere can't be beat.
Zack SheppardSeptember 13, 2014
Fried chicken, great. Champagne selection, impressive. But you MUST get the crispy potato salad!
MaximilianJanuary 6, 2015
Champagne & Fried Chicken. What more could one ask for? Be sure to order the jalapeño cornbread. Great date spot!

The shrimp rilette is awesome. And don't sleep in the Vidalia onion soufflé- it's wonderful!
Dara-Ann BaumanJanuary 26, 2015
Can't say enough great things about this place - owner Sarah Simmons is brilliant!
Adam SJune 29, 2015
The shrimp and grits were stellar. The biscuits and butter were fantastic as well.
Kate FurmanApril 6, 2015
Get the fried chicken obviously champagne. Pass on the Kimchi brisket... There was no Kimchi in the dish.
Sandra RubinchikAugust 9, 2015
There's a $65 option that includes a half-chicken and three sides. Perfect for two.
CarmsFebruary 19, 2017
And if you have the room for it, the risotto grits are also amazing.
Leroy TellezSeptember 25, 2014
The fried chicken is great. So is the Mac n' Cheese, Tomato Pie is a must!!!
