VivianDecember 10, 2017Chicken is moist and the flavoured butters complement the many waffle flavours! Inject some alcohol into your system with an iced tea with bourbon :)
Clara EloyJanuary 2, 2022Got the garlic honey ones. Waffles were great, chicken was verrrryyy garlicky. This was all a little too much for me in taste and size
Gabriel HayesMarch 21, 2016Great cocktails. Particularly enjoy the Lonesome God: Tequila, Habanero Honey, Lime Juice and Bitters shaken, served up a Campari rinse.
The best fried chicken I have ever had and the same goes for the waffles - the sweet waffles are great too!
Ahmed BMarch 13, 2016Chilled during the day, good fun and good music at night esp. on weekends. Classic chicken and waffle is ace.
Marlon BJune 28, 2015Chicken and waffles are amazing. Get there early because the wait time, but with food that good you can see why. 😋
Samantha 💃 LopezFebruary 20, 2017The buttermilk chicken sandwich was light crispy and delicious, def worth the hype.
Jacob ForsterJuly 26, 2015The Eggs Benedict is absolutely fantastic and the portions here are great! One of the best brunch spots in Lower East Side!
Kimmie OhhMay 10, 2020You obviously come for the chicken & waffle sandwich! To try something different, get the smoked white chicken chili.
Christopher SaloniaAugust 11, 2018Fairly pricey for chicken and waffles but overall it’s worth it! I wanted the Nashville hot chicken one but unfortunately they don’t serve it in the morning
Kyle FowlerSeptember 24, 2016The original waffles and fried chicken were awesome. Great music and a lively atmosphere.
The Eggs Benny are definitely one of my favorite brunch dishes in the city.
Vinaya VishwanathSeptember 23, 2014Sweet chick waffle is amazing! When i visited, they had granola stuffed waffles. Yum.
Robb LJune 24, 2018Service & drinks are great - but the new chef needs some time to get things right. They clearly made a batch of chicken and waffles ahead of time - and it sat under a heat lamp. So disappointed.
MelAugust 6, 2014Pulled pork sandwich was delicious. Free beer with any sandwich at bruch time weekdays
Emily YuJanuary 15, 2015I got the special of the day: fried chicken with beer gravy and Rosemary mushroom waffles. I still dream about it.
Abdulelah Al-GosaibiAugust 25, 2017Buffalo chicken is like the best I've ever had!!! And the service is amazing 10/10
Angela N.March 31, 2015The Shrimp & Grits are devine. Make reservations in weekend or best to come early/late with parties less than 4.
Jessica FerronAugust 4, 2018The chicken and waffles were to die for - the rosemary butter put it over the top!
Jessica ChuNovember 24, 2014The fried chicken sandwich is infinitely better than the fried chicken and waffles.
Highly recommend the Vegetarian Mike's Hot Honey Chicken and Waffles. I'm very passionate about this dish. VERY.
Juliet GreenblattSeptember 22, 2014Chicken and waffles was great. Light and fluffy waffle, crispy chicken. Quick service as well.- The chicken & waffles beats chicken & waffles in South. Seriously. It's also open until 2AM 7 days a week?!
Julia LuJune 30, 2018They have really good tofu fried chicken and waffles! The Brussels sprouts are good too.
Andrea BomoOctober 18, 2014Love this place. Great music, food and cocktails. Try the honey chicken and waffles... Amazing!
Alex CasariegoOctober 18, 2014Great chicken and waffles. Brunch is just okay, go for dinner if you want a specially waffle, only plain is available during brunch
Lauren BastianNovember 22, 2015The chicken and waffles are some of the best. The hot honey is out of this world!

Yami AlonsoMay 31, 2016Many options of chicken+waffles, try at least two. Must do: hush puppies. Drinks are watery
Mia AJanuary 28, 2019they have vegetarian chicken you can substitute for any dish! and it’s pretty good.
AUSTINSeptember 15, 2020All vegetarians beware, I ordered the fake chicken and waffles and they gave me the real version. I showed the guy and he convinced me it was fake and I took several bites and brought it back.
