We sat outside and aside from a relentless bug that kept torturing us it was very pleasant. The biscuit French toast and fried pickles were great.

Comfortable southern and soul food restaurant with good pickles, biscuit sandwiches, and beer.

Great southern comfort food, croque madam is the winner here!
Laura MinerMarch 4, 2016
Portions are big and delicious! The biscuit sandwiches are more of an open faced fork and knife situation than a regular sandwich.

The best food I've had in NYC. Mushroom gravy chk biscuit sandwich. Amazing. Just amazing. Cheese grits. Extra amazing.
Village VoiceDecember 12, 2013
Try the Biscuits & Fixins for an indulgent treat! They come with a wide variety of spreads from organic butter to clover honey.

The Sausage Gravy Smothered Chicken and Biscuits is phenomenal. The buttermilk fried chicken at Jacob's is the best I've ever had--this coming from a southern girl.

Cheese grits are super cheesy and yum. The home fries are really fried - almost burnt. Biscuit french toast is amazing - really huge portion so best to share.

More of a scene than an excellent food experience. Still, the food and cocktails were solid. The pickles were good—try the pickled eggs.

Great food! Got the mushroom gravy smothered chicken, and it was amazing. You won't be hungry for a while when you're done.

Fun place on the UWS great for groups at the long communal tables in the back. Not heart healthy but sooo yum. The fried Oreos are a must. Yes really. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The sides and appetizers are much better than the sandwiches. Buffalo mac and cheese and fried pickles are delicious!

Low country meatloaf is really tasty!! The portions are actually too large. I can only eat 1/4 of the meal
Julius TarngSeptember 12, 2015
The pickles are super good but honestly the fried chicken is overhyped. It's solid but not the best around. But the pickles! Pickle backs here real intense cuz the cups are real big, adding delay

A one of a kind joint on the UWS - but a true gem. Solid atmosphere and a must try! Pro tip: Get yourself a growler.

I'm obsessed with the breakfast sandwiches here. And the cheese grits. And the biscuit French toast. Just, all of it.
Ashley RoseJanuary 31, 2016
The chicken and pancake dish is ENORMOUS. Definitely split with your companion. By 11am on a Sunday the wait for 4 was an hour.
Colin LeeSeptember 12, 2016
Wait here on weekends are long; expect 1-1.5 hrs. Sweet tea is sweetened with honey; honey chicken and fried green tomatoes are def worth getting
Marc SNovember 17, 2019
Try the mushroom gravy fried chicken sandwich. Delicious and very filling.
Jess ButlerSeptember 8, 2015
Honey chicken and pickles sandwich. Pretty much anything that involves a biscuit. Great beers and whiskey cocktails.

Quite enjoyed their dill pickles. Lots of potassium in those babies. Highly recommend biscuits and fixins. The salted butter was on point.
John GrahamAugust 22, 2015
Outstanding and delicious. Expect to be FULL after these portions. The fried chicken and pancakes is amazing

Smothered gravy fried chicken in mushroom sauce, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes ... everything is good
Shawn KingMay 23, 2022
The BLT “sandwich.” So quoted because I challenge you to eat it without a knife and fork. Impossible. So delicious.
TingFebruary 17, 2016
Biscuits not that best I have had, but decent overall and reasonably priced. My bacons, eggs n cheddar on biscuit was a bit dry. Hot sauce to the rescue!

Amazing fried chicken, pickles and southern-style cooking. The outdoor seating in warm weather is extremely pleasant.
KatieJanuary 26, 2012
Get everything; fried pickles, not-fried pickles, mac & cheese, cheese grits, fried chicken sandwiches are all fantastic. Good beer selection, but about $1-2 overpriced and NOT 16 oz. pours.
Zane DollaMay 1, 2017
Simply the best comfort food in nyc -- try the biscuits w gravy
Melissa MoserFebruary 3, 2016
The biscuits, the fried chicken, the everything! Honestly, I left in such a food coma it was terrible and amazing.
CailinJanuary 17, 2015
Pickle flights, solid beer list, get honey on the side for your biscuit sandwich, and save a slice for 'dessert'.
