Sonia GrobmanMarch 8, 2016Order the fried chicken with a side of waffles instead of the pre made chicken and waffles
Em DeeMay 10, 2015The fried chicken is fantastic. Very crispy and not greasy at all. Their waffles and biscuits were also amazing.
AleiaMarch 15, 2015Fried chicken and grits filled with cornbread crumbles...true southern sweet tea #heavenly
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
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.
Jonathan SanDecember 5, 2017Awesome food. Makes you feel all warm inside. The family supper is worth the price.
Justine GAugust 8, 2015Amazing! Get the chicken & waffle + grandma's angel biscuits + strawberry shortcake (pictured). Do NOT get the deviled eggs...
Jacey WrightMarch 26, 2015The chicken definitely lives up to the hype. And the grits are EVERYTHING!
- Herve LarrenFebruary 28, 2017Small space but BIG taste, the menu is an assortment of everything I want to eat and when I did bite into my meal, it was heaven.
Brant McQuittyApril 16, 2016A solid southern brunch a buckwheat cheddar waffles and crisp fried chicken.
Eli ShowalterApril 8, 2015The fried chicken waffle sandwich and rhubarb pie is excellent. Great for brunch too with minimal wait even at 11
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
Lydia YJanuary 2, 2019Excellent waffles and fried chicken. It gets crowded, but worth the wait for a table.
Carrie Van EsAugust 10, 2014Absolutely must get the fried chicken. The BLT, deviled eggs and mac and cheese are also amazing.
riley starshipMay 15, 2015When we walked in, my partner commented that it smelled like his meme's kitchen -- there is no higher praise. This is the only place I've had real Southern food since moving up north.
ShinaSeptember 24, 2014Everything is so good! Get the chicken & waffles with the biscuits. Also, make reservations to avoid a long wait.
Chelle 🗽December 13, 2014They deliver orders via Caviar app (all the way across to the West Village! )
Steven ChangJune 21, 2015Amazing biscuits, chicken (HOT SAUCE HONEY!), and waffles. Really warm vibe as well. 💯
wilfredo penaAugust 16, 2014Local tip: grab your order to go and eat in the garden next door if the wait is too long.
Sunita ShahAugust 9, 2014Fried chicken with Tabasco honey and short rob meatloaf. Will definitely be back.

Leah HammerschlagJuly 5, 2014Fried chicken basket. Side of waffles. Both AMAZING Do that, rather than the chicken and waffles sandwich, I promise.- Ian WestcottSeptember 21, 2014A full bucket of bird is a lot of fried chicken (8 pieces!). But cold fried chicken makes for delicious leftovers.
Christopher FredaJuly 29, 2016This place has wonderful biscuits & phenomenal sweet tea brined fried chicken, highly recommended.
