I like: the beet and corn salad, the fried chicken, the staff, and the back bar- if Milton is working, ask for a buttermaker.

Best queso ever. Get it with the kale salad to balance out.

The "Adult Cheese" is possibly the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Nothing fancy but boy is it good!
Leigh QuindaraJune 15, 2012
The food is alright - but the drinks are the best! Frozen mixed drinks - perfect for the summer heat!

$3 whiskey shots. $3 beers. Up North-Michigan-cottage-basement vibe. Basically the best.

after 10 minutes go by and you still haven't placed your drink order, cut your losses and head to any other neighborhood option - you'll be glad you did!

Chicken sando is to die for. So perfect before a night of drinking.
Alex RobertsonDecember 3, 2018
“Williamsbrau” beer for $3/pint seems eminently reasonable for a place like this though

Best fried chicken plate and fried chicken Sammy in nyc hands down
Carolyn TAugust 16, 2011
The fried chicken plate and the 7 layer dip are crazy good. Split it all though since portions are big.

While the planters punch may look a bit silly, it is very potent. 2 of those and you'll feel no pain. And all the chicken dishes are incredible.
Claire J SongJune 1, 2015
Cheeseburger, $7 The sort of saucy, fully dressed two-hander that expresses a commitment to condiments and a reliance on napkins.
Percy HolmesJanuary 11, 2019
The chicken plate was everything!!!!

It takes a whiskey drink, it takes a vodka drink. It takes a lager drink, it takes a cider drink.
Melissa RosenthalMarch 1, 2015
Fun for groups - nachos are to die for.
Sam RoosDecember 10, 2013
The Fried Chicken Plate is a life changing experience and is totally shareable.
Michael AnthonyJuly 10, 2021
Fried chicken and pina coladas!

Great food and a playable pinball machine on free play.
EvaAugust 7, 2011
Ask for a grapefruit/vodka/mint cocktails from Miles. Sit at bat or on patio. Order chicken. Done and done.

The adult grilled cheese is simply excellent.
Jacqueline LombardJuly 17, 2010
Order the hot fish sandwich with extra napkins--it's juicy! Make sure to get extra honey on the side with the fried chicken.
Ryan ScannuraAugust 26, 2013
Was a total zoo on a Wednesday night. Barely room to move. We were lucky to find a table. Amazing frozen margs, $10 each.
Jess PengSeptember 9, 2012
The nachos are good and unique. I've never had any quite like em before.
Ida ParasApril 16, 2017

Perfect for "cheap eats" Southern -- Fried Chicken, Cadillac nachos, hot breast sandwich

Looks and acts like a dive bar, with cheap, strong drinks. However, don’t over look the food, especially their Fried Chicken.
