Really nice and quiet place for lunch. Cocktails here are mind-blowingly good. The cheeseburger and chicken salad sandwich are both great - but the kicker is the fries - which are deliciously salty.

This place has been my SAVIOR many a late night!!Seriously delicious dishes, desserts, drinks and staff. I'm going to say it: probably one of the best fried chickens in NYC. Don't sleep on this place!

The thing to get is the fried chicken as everyone else says. It's juicy, delicious and they give you big portions. The service was great. Kid friendly place with booths and also a bar

Fried chicken salad sandwich is unreal. Not like regular salad with a ton of mayo. Lighter. Apple and cheese is a nice touch. Perfect thick bread too!

Don't leave before trying the Boca Negra for dessert - Bittersweet Chocolate and Bourbon Cake, perfect ending to a meal.

Phenomenal Buttermilk Fried Chicken: free range chicken with some root mash, and sautéed kale & bacon

Awesome spot with roomy booths, friendly vibe, and delicious cocktails. Great for dinner or brunch, both with an amazingly good fried chicken (and waffles at brunch!) on the menu.

For starters, order the delicious White Bean Diptopped with bacon and feta with a side of tortilla chips.

The buttermilk fried chicken was succulent and tasty through and through. And that sautéed kale was sweet and went well with the thick cut bacon. Make sure to also try the seasonal cobbler.

Friendly service . Duck is excellent and so is gumbo. Small but good beer and wine selection. Reasonable price. Would definitely go again.

Great drinks. Solid French fries. Chicken is good. But all of the other food here is a bit of a let down. We keep giving their other food another chance, but haven't had a truly great meal here yet.

I feel like this place had a hiccup a couple years ago of not so great food. But I've been back three times in 2014 and have been really happy. Gumbo is outstanding. Fried chicken is great.

Fried chicken is great, but so is the salad with feta and beets. They have a rhubarb shrub right now that's pretty great too.
Gabriel HayesAugust 9, 2015
Great cocktails here. Particularly enjoyed the Rumspringa (made with Demarara rum, housemade orgeat, and lime & mint swizzled with crushed ice and angostura bitters).

The food, especially the fried chicken, is just as good as the mixed drinks. You can’t go wrong with the Negroni.
Kimberly AginNovember 23, 2014
Probably in my top 5 NYC brunch places of all time. Love the chill gastropub-type atmosphere. Plus the French press coffee and unbelievable food.

Get the gambas for your app and fried chicken for your entree and bread pudding for dessert...trust me!!! And the service was wonderful

Their late-night menu is later than anywhere else in the hood—so if you're craving fried chicken at midnight, this is it. Pro tip: Hungover? Order the oversized BLT at brunch with a Bloody Mary.
Astrid MorescoJuly 13, 2014
Delicious cocktails, fantastic food. Sit at the back patio if it's warm out :) Highly recommend "The Jesuit" - a mix of bourbon, tonic, and grapefruit.

Order a Manhattan and throw back some oysters. I can't recommend the burger with blue cheese enough for a very enjoyable meal and overall experience.

"serving its full menu (every night til 4am)...ordered up some mussels, a burger, and a couple more beers to wash them down. Loved the open kitchen in this enormous bar...solid beer selection." Read more

Get the seared salmon. Sooooo good! I told them to make it gluten free and dairy free and they were very accommodating. Highly recommended.

This restaurant may be named after a popular cocktail, but with a wide selection of local, craft beers it's also great bar for beer geeks!

Fried chicken lives up to all the tips. Also the hangover soup is the first dish I've ever had where I didn't wish it had no kale
Deandra TanJune 19, 2014
They don't hold tables, so make sure you get there ahead of time, especially if you want one of their tables in the back. The succulent fried chicken entree made it worth the wait, though...
Jude DitoAugust 2, 2015
The gumbo is good but hot hot hot. Also don't sit near the bar. There's a regular that comes in and when he sits at bar, his plumber's crack was staring at us the whole time, blech!

Fried chicken was phenomenal and the cocktails were superb. The open kitchen proves that their chefs have nothing to hide and are proud of the work they are doing.

The sidecar club sounds simple, but it is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. Turkey, cheese, APPLES, and vidalia all layered on perfectly toasted (yet oh so soft) thick bread. Read more

The "Breakfast" shot is amazing! Great bloodies with Old Bay seasoning on the rim. Had corn beef hash with eggs. Was really good!
JulineOctober 3, 2013
Love the atmosphere. I took a stroll down to Astoria and found this gem along the way. Perfect. Great very salad too!
Ashley LouiseAugust 2, 2013
Amazing cocktails, great service, great atmosphere. Definitely a favorite spot I'm the neighborhood!

You want to get the fried chicken. Crispy and delicious. Comes with creamy mashed potatoes and kale with bacon. Kale with bacon!!
Jesse BagelsJanuary 18, 2016
They don't have unltd brunch but who cares the brunch food is still very good, esp the French press
Gabriel HayesFebruary 8, 2015

The chicken and waffles at brunch is awesome. And get the Spicy Jesus.

Rosemary’s Baby cocktail. It’s the bomb. Rosemary infused gin, combier, Orange, Lemon, seltzer.

Ehh. Let me be a voice of reason. Been here enough to be one. Cocktail game is up there with the best of them, but when I leave here after a $200 bill for 2 Im underwhelmed with the food n feel sad.

Trying the nice new additions to the cocktail menu, first up is The Elmore Leonard with rhymes Agricole lime, coco water and pear vermouth

Don’t skip over their version of a Banh Mi, the Banh – D on a ciabatta with cucumber juice. Get it spicy, with a cold beer out in their backyard.
Autumn RayneDecember 14, 2014
Must try a drink from their list bourban apple was great. Loved the slice if dried apple to go with the drink.
Nata ShaOctober 5, 2015
Proper good...yes the chicken! The sidecar club is fantastic as well! But the chicken!!!
Ric ChaudoirFebruary 21, 2016

Cheeseburger is great with sauted onions and jalepenos.
David PotashJune 2, 2017
Superb late night spot - don't miss the fried chicken or fried oysters
Nikki MJune 1, 2018
We love sidecar - but - I didn’t totally love their fried oysters. Idk if it was our timing but they were small & underwhelming. Stick to fresh!
Richard RevillaApril 3, 2017
Yep it's all about that fried chicken. It's sweet just a little different.

Sidecar club is super tasty. Stays open late! Good food but it can definitely take long so make sure you get an appetizer.

Hands down buttermilk fried chicken is a must to try for 1st timer. The occasional special Brussels sprout is delicious! Awesome services everytime I come here!
