Janice ChowSeptember 13, 2017Amazing southern American flavours. Definitely order the shrimp & grits!
AleiaMarch 15, 2015Fried chicken and grits filled with cornbread crumbles...true southern sweet tea #heavenly
ShinaSeptember 24, 2014Everything is so good! Get the chicken & waffles with the biscuits. Also, make reservations to avoid a long wait.
Eli ShowalterApril 8, 2015The fried chicken waffle sandwich and rhubarb pie is excellent. Great for brunch too with minimal wait even at 11
Jacey WrightMarch 26, 2015The chicken definitely lives up to the hype. And the grits are EVERYTHING!
Yoni ZloczewskiSeptember 6, 2015I wanted to love this place but the food just misses the mark. The chicken is missing spice, specifically it lacks heat to liven it up and balance the sweetness from the tea brine and citrus powder.
wilfredo penaAugust 16, 2014Local tip: grab your order to go and eat in the garden next door if the wait is too long.
Staff PicksAugust 8, 2014Craving chicken & waffles? Head to Root & Bone for chicken brined in sweet tea. We recommend the chicken & waffle sandwich or the shrimp & grits! Read more
Em DeeMay 10, 2015The fried chicken is fantastic. Very crispy and not greasy at all. Their waffles and biscuits were also amazing.- Ian WestcottSeptember 21, 2014A full bucket of bird is a lot of fried chicken (8 pieces!). But cold fried chicken makes for delicious leftovers.
- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The fried chicken and waffle sandwich is the best sandwich in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition." Read more
Chelle 🗽December 13, 2014They deliver orders via Caviar app (all the way across to the West Village! )
Sunita ShahAugust 9, 2014Fried chicken with Tabasco honey and short rob meatloaf. Will definitely be back.
Ralph BautistaMay 17, 2016Seems like there aren't a shortage of fried chicken spots on the east side of lower Manhattan. and this spot is totally on my top five rotation
Christopher FredaJuly 29, 2016This place has wonderful biscuits & phenomenal sweet tea brined fried chicken, highly recommended.
Leah HammerschlagJuly 5, 2014Fried chicken basket. Side of waffles. Both AMAZING Do that, rather than the chicken and waffles sandwich, I promise.
Lisa O'BrienMarch 18, 2019Tons of food and some of the vest cocktails we’ve ever had. Warm and cosy.
Carrie Van EsAugust 10, 2014Absolutely must get the fried chicken. The BLT, deviled eggs and mac and cheese are also amazing.
Julius TarngAugust 8, 2015The biscuits are really damn good. Half bird is a huge portion, love the honey tabasco
RingoMarch 21, 2015Amazing Food! Come early on weekend, before 10:30, or make reservation a month in advance.
Lydia YJanuary 2, 2019Excellent waffles and fried chicken. It gets crowded, but worth the wait for a table.
Honghui YuJuly 14, 2014Hands down best fried chicken and grits I've ever eaten, and there are $6 glasses of wine!!
Steven ChangJune 21, 2015Amazing biscuits, chicken (HOT SAUCE HONEY!), and waffles. Really warm vibe as well. 💯
Monique SmithJuly 25, 2015The fried chicken is great! There was a 2hr wait, so just go to the take-out area ... It takes 10min
Ryan AmbsJuly 31, 2015Great mac and cheese and cocktails. Deviled eggs were good but only 3 of them. Skip the shrimp and grits they were too soggy and too many onions.
Bradley KayFebruary 19, 2017Best fried chicken in NYC, far as I can tell, thanks to the sweet tea brining. Learn just how much pimento cheese can do for all foods.
Ben RighthandJanuary 5, 2015Steak & Eggs with white truffle shavings and cheddar grits on special. Get some
Vikash RughaniNovember 17, 2014Great fried chicken a biscuits, but leave space for their seasonal dishes and a cocktail
Don Lichterman Sunset RecordingsJune 26, 2017The best food you will ever experience, ever! Fried Chicken on a waffle, Mac & Cheese...
Ashley MeadApril 30, 2016Not great brunch. Maybe dinner is better. Chicken & waffles are pre-made, get reheated upon ordering. Biscuits are good, but go to Sweet Chick or Pies n Thighs for significantly better fried chicken.
Amy MixaAugust 11, 2015Skip the entrees and just get the deviled eggs, peach salad, and mac n cheese!
Scott MarsdenJuly 13, 2014Amazing fried chicken. Amazing sides. Everything we ordered was just delicious.
