Mike ChauDecember 13, 2013Try the Carbonara Flatbread - Farm egg, parmigiano, Brussels sprouts and bacon
Adriana AndújarFebruary 11, 2011Love the new menu items! Try the wild mushroom manicotti - it will not disappoint! Also, do not be fooled by it's size - surprisingly filling!
Culture ClimaxJune 11, 2013Such a great place to eat in the East Village! Shrimp & grits are a must.
Ray RahmatiFebruary 6, 2012Keep an eye out for their annual Crawfish Boil. Crawfish, andouille sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, DELICIOUS.
Tim SheyAugust 25, 2010In the wintertime, the Guinness Chocolate Car Bomb (hot melted chocolate with Guinness and a bourbon-infused housemade marshmallow) is a must.
Rita WuFebruary 22, 2012pretzels, peanut brittle, and hush puppies were all amazing appetizers. redhead fizz was a delicious cocktail.
Spencer SottoMay 10, 2012the shrimp n grits are to die for..and the buttermilk chicken comes a close second!
Ashley RudolphApril 12, 2015I now understand why they're rated #4 for grits on 4sq. They're amazing.
A bit of NOLA in NYC. Love getting an Abita Amber. The crawfish broil in the summer is a fantastic event.
- Mike ChauDecember 13, 2013Try the Housemade Soft Pretzels - With Kentucky-style beer cheese. So good.
SkeeterNYCMay 21, 2010Sit at the bar. Order a Redhead Fizz. Drink it. Order another. Then get the shrimp n'grits, followed by the duck gumbo. You'll thank me. Read more
Linnea CovingtonMarch 24, 2011Sit at the bar for the best service. Make sure to get the grits, they are kind of amazing.
Angela ZhangMarch 3, 2015I don't know what's so great about the fried chicken. Tasted like KFC. The grits were sub-par too.
AbbyJune 26, 2012Get the mushroom flatbread and buttermilk fried chicken. You won't be disappointed.
Dannis LeMay 12, 2010Great green goddess salad, fried chicken, and morels & peas ragout. Good cocktails and beer selection. Angel food cake dessert is not recommended.
Start with a cocktail and some bacon peanut brittle. And be sure to leave room for the Car Bomb Hot Chocolate, you'll be glad you did! Read more
Christine NgoNovember 23, 2010The fried chicken was good, not excellent. However, the duck gumbo was amazing. Perfect for a rainy day.
MihaeFebruary 4, 2010The buttermilk fried chix- came recommended, left only bones. The cocktails by restaurant owner Rob are delish! Great, cozy little spot.
Find. Eat. Drink.August 21, 2010The Revial cocktail is a good start to the evening. Well balanced with a bit of citrus. Free cookies with your bill.

For brunch. Try the veal grillades. Amazing. Start off with the monkey bread with a spicy bloody mary.
babene reyesFebruary 23, 2015The chickpea fries were delish!!!.... The chicken you could tell wasn't friend in fresh oil although we were there at opening time, but it wasn't horrible.
Best fried chicken in NYC. By far. The shrimp & grits won't disappoint either.
It's all about the shrimp and grits. Doesn't get any better.
Gentrifried ChickenNovember 13, 2011Order the fried chicken! Lightly seasoned and remarkably non-greasy.
