Roberto BuaMarch 24, 2015Great place doing a modern take on Southern classics. Had the fried chicken and waffle, mac & cheese (to die for) and the chicken gravy + biscuits topped with poached eggs. They also play great music.
Grace BarrMarch 21, 2018Mac n cheese is a must. The hush puppies were delicious. Fried chicken was hot and juicy with a crisp skin. The bacon & cheddar waffle wasn’t too strong, the texture was light with a crisp outside.
Cooper SmithMarch 16, 2013The fried chicken + bacon and cheddar waffles, with their 3 choices of butter, are incredible. Pies N Thighs, you're still my main squeeze. But this place is my chicken on the side.
Michelle CJune 4, 2017Great brunch spot! Short wait with text/app notifications re: spot in line. Accommodated my request for seat w/back support. Vegetarian fried "chicken" and waffles were AWESOME! Service was great too.
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 3, 2016The best chicken and waffle I've ever eaten in NYC so far. The fried chicken is perfectly crispy and the waffle is melting in mouth. Also the salad with bacon is so great.
Built FrenchiéNovember 9, 2014If you looking for the best chicken and waffles spot, you must visit this location. In addition if you have Michael as your host, then you get hit with double whammy with excellent customer service
Anna OhareDecember 13, 2014Get the cornbread, mac & cheese with breadcrumbs, fried chicken & waffles with cheddar and bacon. Try their housemade butters too. You mightn't be able to walk afterwards but it's well worth it.
Rich GApril 21, 2015A very hip joint and laid back fun atmosphere. The quality and variety of the waffles and the variations of chicken go unmatched. Mix that with great drinks and you can't go wrong.
Andrew CApril 22, 2018Amazing fried chicken and all food spot... came for brunch - had so many food choices, plus great drinks (lemonade with ANY LIQUOR). Mac n Cheese was not as melted cheesy as expected, but still great
Derek SmithOctober 12, 2018Everything is good here, even the music, my wife and I like coming near closing time, and the vibe was still great there, towards the end they played a banging Marvin Gaye playlist...JUST AMAZING!!!!!
Julie VApril 16, 2015Oh my GAD! When I die, this is where I wanna go. The butter was so good I took some home. Yes, I took butter home. Chicken and dried cherry waffles and hip hop too - Whaaaat?!?! Go here. Right away.
Cali ZimmermanOctober 21, 2014Great big portions. The service was also impeccable - even sitting in a community table you get attentive service. Go for brunch. Sample the butters! Chix and waffles for the win!
__TR3VSeptember 20, 2013Laid back spot. Had chicken and waffles. Enjoyable...but the mac-n-cheese was off the hook!!! Wouldn't make a trip to go back, but check it out if in the neighborhood. (avoid the Tiger Woods cocktail)
Tavonna MillerOctober 26, 2015I had an amazing time here for the first time with a friend! I've always wanted to go and was not let down by the menu selection service or liquor! Soundtrack was awesome and my experience was GREAT!
Ru ChungApril 1, 2015One of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had in NYC! I'd say it almost as good as brown sugar in Oakland!? The chicken is crispy yet tender and juicy, the waffle is a soft waffle. Enjoy!
Angelique HoutveenFebruary 26, 2016Chicken & waffles are delicious! The Christopher Wallace cocktail knocked me out, very nice but strong. Try not to go between 4pm-6pm: the 'in between' menu doesn't have as many options as the rest.
Weekday brunch M-F 11am-4pm, free beer or soda w/ chicken & waffle or sandwich order. I got the chicken sandwich w/ slaw on it and a heap of arugula salad and Arnold Palmer soda $12. Good deal.
Liz PaulinoApril 5, 2015Waffles are delicious! Really good quality food overall. Worth the wait because they jot down your number and call you when there's a table. Just hit up the dive bar next door while you wait
Chelsea BalkanJanuary 19, 2014#FabuLIST #DubiDO duck slides to start and of course the chicken and bacon/cheddar waffles. Also comes with an amazing syrup and 3 butters. Yum!! Great music and vibe but expect a loud atmosphere.
Vash'Ti WalkerMarch 12, 2019I had the ricotta pancakes with fresh fruits and macadamia butter !!!!!! It was delicious !! The staff was great ! Space was cute !! Easy to locate !
Alissa SimmonsAugust 17, 2013Came at 4pm on Saturday. Got a table for 4. No crowd. Only served Chicken and Waffles at that time. Waffles: Fluffy and Crispy. Chicken: Moist and flavored crunchy crust. A MUST ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
Kristi EvansApril 14, 2013Amazing food and service. Best kale salad I've ever had! If you want to stray from the yummy chicken & waffles, try the Arctic char or the pork tenderloin. I love the "Purple Drank" cocktail!
Bella SkyMay 3, 2015had breakfast here as well as Chicken nd Waffles. totally convinced me that sweet and spicy stuff goes along very well! The interior is super cosy and the homemade icetea is really good!!
samantha hankinsJuly 24, 2014Spread love it's the Brooklyn way! Delicious chicken and waffles, relaxed/fun atmosphere. Great for brunch! *** Vegetarian Fried Chicken available as a substitution and is shockingly delicious.
Michael G.March 11, 2019The Sweet Chick fried chicken and waffles was outstanding. Good portion size. Get some starters for the table. Also, the Tiger Tiger Woods Y’all (cocktail) was delicious
Peri ErdmannOctober 19, 2014The shrimp & cheese grits are out of this world! My taste buds dances from the first to the last bite. The presentation was wonderful! Food should always taste like a flavor explosion!!!
nora walkerFebruary 27, 2013Fried chicken & bacon cheddar waffles? Yes please. Crack jar for dessert? Oh my. And don't even get me started on the purple drank cocktail. Service was tops. Look out Pies & Thighs...
HONEYGRiPJuly 6, 2014The food is awesome! The drinks were perfection. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits or the chicken and waffles!! LOVED it!
LDecember 28, 2016Unique menu, my favourite meal in new york. Perfect waffles, crunchy fried chicken and loads of other brunch options. Must visit! Try the dried cherry waffle.
Victoria BrownJuly 6, 2015I got the bacon and cheddar chicken and waffles... It was EVERYTHING! I had to get it to go because I was in a rush don't food was like warm by time I ate it. But it was still sooooooo good!
Natasha MoriniMay 22, 2013Amazing! My friend told our waiter I thought he was cute didn't know he did that until after we left but the food is amazing especially the vegetarian chicken.
Nom NomJuly 11, 2016Fried chicken and waffles are incredible. You can order all-white meat. Mac n cheese is slamming. Staff is good. No reservations and probably a wait, but they text you!
MiguelJuly 25, 2016Chicken and waffles were phenomenal. Very well flavored chicken. Great BBQ sauce.
Josephine SonSeptember 3, 2013Absolutely in love with this place! Great fried chicken & waffles, but my favorite are the duck sloppy joe sliders! Small bar but really solid drinks, especially the chocolate old fashioned.- Peter WoloszynAugust 23, 2014Chicken and waffles (of the bacon and cheddar variety) are amazing. Pulled pork sliders are also delicious. In fact, I've never had anything here that WASN'T delicious.
Eaters HeavenApril 23, 2016House brine pork chops with green peppercorns and young cauliflower. Moist and melts in your mouth. Skip the donut ice cream sandwich. Interesting flavor combo, in a bad way. No hot coffee? Strange.
Yucca FritaJuly 5, 2013Took some time for food to get there. Love the shoe string fries with the pulled pork sandwich. Plus, any chicken&waffle or sandwich comes with free beer! Charged 20% tip, warn you!
Beatriz CastilloMarch 4, 2016I got the chicken & waffle with bacon and cheddar, and loved it. The chicken was so crispy! Very fast service too.
Jenny SorensenApril 8, 2015Sweet Chick offers traditional southern food like chicken & waffles, ribs & grits, with vege meat options too. Sweet Chick’s late hours are perfect for that after party snack. Read more
KerrynOctober 20, 2016I had some serious doubts about the fried chicken and waffle combo, but it is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! I had the pecan waffles and hot honey added on.
Analee KasudiaSeptember 21, 2015Alternate between chicken & waffles (comes with three different butters) and shrimp & grits. Wash it down with peach iced tea (vodka). And get a cookie.
Lisa SaMay 17, 2017Chicken and waffles were delicious but the fried chicken were a little dry for me. Order shrimp and grits. Hip atmosphere.
Christian DickmannMay 2, 2015Tried both real and veggie chicken & waffles and I have to say: Vegetarian chicken & waffles with hot sauce and maple syrup is a tasty alternative!
Tiffany CarrascoJuly 4, 2014Chicken and waffles is a must. Cheddar bacon waffle. Also order a side of mac and cheese. I'm not a fan of their drinks tho
SooaDecember 24, 2014never imagined that waffles and chicken would make such a great combo. unique experience. Shared one plate with two.. Try the mac'n cheese. sad they didn't serve string fries for dinner =(
KellyDecember 15, 2014Happiest belly in a long time after eating the chicken + waffles along with a terrific turkey leg special. Perfect mac 'n cheese, going to be hard to beat.
Juliet ObodoNovember 10, 2013Best time to come on the weekend is from 4 to 6. You miss the brunch crowd and get in before the dinner rush. Oh and try to save room for dessert!
BrooklynBoyOAugust 29, 2021Don’t sleep on the Cod Fish Sandwiches. Both regular and Nashville Hot are good-to-go with some Fries + Arnold Palmers.
Dean McBrydeApril 6, 2019Had the buffalo chicken and blue cheese waffles, and excellent. The Sweet Chick Pale Ale is also excellent.
Mary ChanDecember 23, 2013The waffles & mac cheese were amazing! Also, the two times I went here I got a stomachache and had to go straight home both times .. So just keep that in mind
