Great 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.

Mac 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.

The 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.

Great 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.

Get 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.

The 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.

Oh 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.

A 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.

Amazing 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

If 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

Great 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!

Fried 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...

Laid 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)

One 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!
Derek SmithOctober 12, 2018
Everything 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!!!!!
Tavonna MillerOctober 26, 2015
I 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!
Bella SkyMay 3, 2015
had 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!!
Alissa SimmonsAugust 17, 2013
Came 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!!

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.

Chicken and waffles were phenomenal. Very well flavored chicken. Great BBQ sauce.
LDecember 28, 2016
Unique 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.
Kristi EvansApril 14, 2013
Amazing 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!
Michael G.March 11, 2019
The 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
Josephine SonSeptember 3, 2013
Absolutely 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.
samantha hankinsJuly 24, 2014
Spread 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.
Peri ErdmannOctober 19, 2014
The 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!!!
HONEYGRiPJuly 6, 2014
The food is awesome! The drinks were perfection. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits or the chicken and waffles!! LOVED it!
Nom NomJuly 11, 2016
Fried 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!
Lane RettigJanuary 9, 2016
The shrimp and grits was heavenly. Divine. A religious experience. Transcendental. Stop what you're doing and eat it. Just go.
Peter WoloszynAugust 23, 2014
Chicken 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.
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.
Jenny SorensenApril 8, 2015
Sweet 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
Annie TOctober 13, 2014
Light and sweet waffles paired with juicy flavorful chicken with a nice crust. I do like how despite their staple dish, they make good salads and vegetable dishes.
Angelique HoutveenFebruary 26, 2016
Chicken & 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.
Tiffany CarrascoJuly 4, 2014
Chicken 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
Lisa SaMay 17, 2017
Chicken and waffles were delicious but the fried chicken were a little dry for me. Order shrimp and grits. Hip atmosphere.
Eaters HeavenApril 23, 2016
House 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, 2013
Took 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!
Analee KasudiaSeptember 21, 2015
Alternate between chicken & waffles (comes with three different butters) and shrimp & grits. Wash it down with peach iced tea (vodka). And get a cookie.
Beatriz CastilloMarch 4, 2016
I got the chicken & waffle with bacon and cheddar, and loved it. The chicken was so crispy! Very fast service too.
Liz PaulinoApril 5, 2015
Waffles 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

You can't go wrong with the chicken and waffles of any variety but the classics and bacon cheddar are two standouts!
BrooklynBoyOAugust 29, 2021
Don’t sleep on the Cod Fish Sandwiches. Both regular and Nashville Hot are good-to-go with some Fries + Arnold Palmers.
Christian DickmannMay 2, 2015
Tried both real and veggie chicken & waffles and I have to say: Vegetarian chicken & waffles with hot sauce and maple syrup is a tasty alternative!
KellyDecember 15, 2014
Happiest 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.
KerrynOctober 20, 2016
I 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.
SooaDecember 24, 2014
never 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 =(
Luke WangAugust 7, 2016
Nashville hot chicken is killer with bold spice and ultra crunch coating. The waffle that with it was the perfect balance to the spicy.
Natasha MoriniMay 22, 2013
Amazing! 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.
