I've eaten here before, but this is my first time really reviewing it. It is located across from Google headquarters and near the Apple Store. You feel comfortable at this spot, and it feels safe since police officers often stop in to eat as well. This is one of the few places where you can spend about $13 on a chicken sandwich and not feel guilty about it. There also reward points. My purchase came down to $6. The chicken is well cooked and nicely spicy without being overpowering, so you can enjoy both the flavor and the seasoning. Mine came with radish, which added a nice touch. The New York style burger is also very good. Customer service was friendly, ordering through the kiosk is easy, and the space is very clean. The minimalist design gives the place a nice atmosphere. read more

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 I am a huge fan of this fast casual healthy eatery. Their concept is to provide various forms of delicious chicken paired with quality sides made with healthier ingredients. I have been here many times and always left feeling good about what I ate. My usual order is their Signature Thigh 1/4 with Charred Broccoli and Marinated Tomato & Hearts of Palm Salad. For about $15, it is a wonderful meal that allows you to feel good about your food choices. Other delicious sides include White Balsamic Farro, Roasted Beets w/ Goat Cheese, Grilled Coleslaw, and Grilled Sweet Potato. I have also done the Half Chicken, but prefer the option above. As for the Buttermilk Tenders, they are extremely juicy, though I do not love the batter or the fact that it's deep fried. Therefore, I have stuck to the grilled chicken options mostly. If you are looking for a quick meal that will not make you hate yourself later for eating bad, then give Brine a chance to become your healthy choice. read more

Juicy chicken! I actually enjoy this infinitely more than Raising Cane's bc the chicken is juicier and actually has a layer of crisp breading. Fries were also perfectly crisp and seasoned. Docking stars because the Greek salad was unbelievably salty even though I only used the tiniest bit of dressing -- the feta cheese really just overwhelmed so much. I ended up picking out the tomatoes and cucumbers and tossing the rest of the salad. read more

3.75 Was looking for a quick bite in the area and found Brine on the map. In the 14th St Highline/Chelsea Market area. Close to the E train station. Fast casual place. Ordered at one of the kiosks, can see options like different chicken preparations, sides etc and if any addtl charge. Seating available. FYI - Happy hour daily for salads and bowls everyday 2-5pm. I got the Spicy Chicken salad - with their signature pulled chicken, greens, coleslaw, spQicy onion strings. Good portion. The chicken flavor though is not for me. My sons got tenders and fries (generous amount) and chicken salad sandwich. They liked what they got. For just $1, added a drink to our meals. But, the fountain drinks didn't taste good like the lemonade and the soda was flat. There is a Restroom. read more

I'm here to talk about sides. Vegetarians might not be drawn here; there's no chicken version of tofurky. But the sides outclass the fast-casual paradigm to a degree where I could see a non-meat person possibly appreciating Brine. The tomato/heart of a palm salad is a long-standing favorite but the rice is worth a try. Per Brine, it consists of "Long grain rice and sweet peas, simmered with coconut milk, thyme, and onion." You don't find these kind of sides at KFC. I previously raved about the blackened-chili garlic sauce. The charred jalapeno is another must-have. read more

When my dinner plans were canceled I took advantage of the opportunity to eat a quiet meal alone and chose to procure said meal at Brine. One of my favorite dinners has always been chicken accompanied by tasty sides. On this front, Brine delivered. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy and the broccoli was delicious. Sadly, the sweet potato was a letdown. For a quick service, fuss-free meal with plenty of protein, fiber, and taste, Brine is hard to beat. read more

Looking for food around the area, and decided to try this place out. The space was good, and had plenty of seats for small groups. I ordered the Chicken Salad sandwich, which came with plenty of fries, and you can add a fountain drink to it for only $1. The sandwich was tasty, and I enjoyed the crunchy lettuce and other toppings on it as well. The fries were crunchy, had a good amount of salt, and it came with plenty of them, enough that 2 people could reasonably split them. The food came out rather quickly, and the staff was nice. The only complaint that I have was that the fountain drinks came out from the dispenser warm, and it had a bit of a funky taste to it. Overall, I had a good time here, and would definitely come back again. read more

We had been walking around NYC all morning and decided it was time to stop for lunch. We could all agree on chicken and Brine fit the bill! The grilled chicken breast was juicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy. The charred broccoli had great flavor. This was a great spur of the moment pick! You put in your order on a kiosk, which is great because it gives you time to review the options and you can customize your order. The staff calls your number when your food is ready. There was plenty of indoor seating. They also had a soda fountain where you could get free refills which is a plus. It was very clean and comfortable inside the restaurant. read more

I don't spend a lot of time in Manhattan these days, but when I have to head in for whatever reason, I find an abundance of excellent fast casual options. Brine may be the best of the breed. This is good food for a good price, served quickly. For lunch in NYC, you really can't ask for more than that. It should be noted that Brine's "Signature Thigh" is actually a leg. It's a big one, and it's juicy as hell. The skin isn't exactly crisp, but the fat is rendered and it's saucy and flavorful. I personally preferred the jalapeño sauce to the red buttermilk option, but because this chicken has been brined properly, it honestly didn't need either. The sides are also well-conceived, and well-executed too. I opted for the charred broccoli and grilled sweet potato, both delicious, especially with a little cheese dumped on top. There was actual spice and flavor involved in all the food served here, and I was grateful enough that I didn't stop to wonder why all kitchens can't make this happen. Although, now I'm wondering. In any case, Brine is a great spot to pick up a very tasty chicken lunch. If it matters to you, you should know you're going to order it via touch screen, where you can pick and choose from all the different options, and tip as well. This is now a world where we tip before we receive our meals. Why? I'm not going to litigate that here. I just like the chicken. read more

I came here for lunch one day. I ordered a head of time and went to pick up my order. The restaurant was bright and spacious. It had two kiosks to order and a large font menu on the wall with the kiosks. I waited a few minutes before the clerk was alerted to my presence. They checked and my order wasn't ready. It took a few minutes before my order was ready. I ordered three pieces of the buttermilk tenders and crinkle cut french fries. I wasn't sure about the sauces so I waited until I got there to ask for a suggestion. The food came out after 10 minutes or so. I was surprised on how hefty and heavy the container was. I asked for some suggestions and I got honey mustard and a smoky chili sauce. When I got to my office, I was surprised on how big the tenders were! They were definitely one of the biggest I ever had. The tenders were crispy and juicy. The only thing I didn't like is that I ate a bit of gristle or cartilage in two of the tenders. The other tender I was saving for another meal. The fries were tasty but I wish they had a bit more of seasoning to it. I was surprised to find a small triangle of toast that was okay. I wasn't sure what it was there but I love toast so I ate it. I thought the chili sauce was okay. But I was surprised on how much I loved the honey mustard. It was so delicious! I wish the container was bigger because even though I got two, it wasn't enough. read more

I ordered this on ClassPass, and it was prepared really quickly. I also ordered the brine tart (not pictured) and it was similar to a brown sugar pop tart, but way better. The pastry was really nice, and they were not stingy with the filling. My husband got mad because I accidentally ate the whole thing without sharing. Would I go out of my way for this tart? No. But it was delicious on an empty-ish stomach. The MSG burger was flavorful with a sizeable chicken breast in the center. read more

Come here on an empty stomach!! My boyfriend and I came here to try some of their chicken tenders and another plate. I don't recall the name of what I had but it was a shredded chicken and coleslaw kind of sandwich. It was massive and less than a half was more than enough to eat. My boo ordered the blackened chicken and spiced french fries. They were so good too, but the blackened chicken was a letdown if you are someone who loves spicy! We first discovered this place when they were hosting the spiciest chicken sandwich competition - and we nailed it, but later the sandwich nailed us! It was so spicy but in a good way. We will never do that again, but we are so glad we got to experience it at Brine. The reason for my starting point is that once you are satiated or beyond full, you will not crave any food for the entire day. I'm dead serious. Their chicken is so fresh and filling. It's a one stop shop, which is great if you're on a budget or just want to stuff your face with some tasty protein. Insanely enough - I was still full the next morning (so was my boo). Felt incredible. And didn't feel the need to eat anything till about 4pm. Definitely plan on returning for some more chicken tenders in the near future! The bathroom is basic and large enough for H.C. persons. They have a code - it's for customers only. The kitchen is within view of the dining area. I would recommend they get some cushions for the seating. The hard wood hurt my back after a short while of sitting. They have two long bar height tables good for groups of 6+/-. I don't believe that any of the furnishings are movable. I'm pretty sure they're "glued" in place, but there is plenty of seating around the double bar height tables and some window seating as well. Happy eats! read more

If you like big bold flavors, Brine is where it's at. Order on screens or at the counter. Char grilled chicken - so good. Sauces and sides equally delicious. They have chicken sandwiches and also chicken with sides. The sauces are the icing on the cake here too. The chimichurri and garlic chili are my 2 favorites. The chicken is juice and I'm a sucker for that deep charred flavor. One thing I've noticed when I sat there is the workers constantly cleaning, wiping tables ,walking around wiping and asking if everyone is ok. Interacting with customers in a non-intrusive way. I appreciate the attentiveness. The restaurant is always clean. I usually go around 1 to 2 pm, it's not crowded I always find a table to sit at and enjoy my meal. I can't speak of other times regarding crowds. I often order chicken sandwiches to take home and they travel well. The food here is really fresh and consistently good. read more

Excellent chicken and I'd give it 3 stars just for that . Crispy skin , almost falls of bone , tender and juicy the whole 9 yards. All of that however is then complimented with some dried out coconut rice , a soggy slice of bread hidden beneath the chicken , and some of the worst sauces to accompany a chicken I've ever had . I threw out both sauces and scrambled mixing some of my own to salvage the meal. I don't like to have to work to fix a meal after purchasing . As such ,I can't warrant anything higher than 3 stars. read more

Simplistic menu of chicken that tastes extremely delicious. I got a 3 piece chicken tender mean with fries; initially I had deemed it a little pricey, but once I was eating, I realized how much chicken they really include. I ended up saving half of it and ate it for another whole meal! While the chicken itself is amazing, the sauces are what really makes it shine. Pretty much every sauce on the menu brings a unique flavor, and really added to the whole meal. I'd definitely recommend everyone stop in here when they can. read more

From the Business

Specialties

This is a unique, fine-casual American restaurant specializing in 24 hour brined, fire grilled chicken, with salads and sides that are original, fresh and totally made to order! Our signature sauce grilled on the chicken coupled with our secret brine recipe makes it a dish that evolves the standard of chicken.

History

Established in 2018.

Our owner created Brine because he was tired of dry, bland chicken. He wanted a place where consistent, juicy, flavorful chicken was served each and every time - not to mention beautiful side dishes and salads that always had FLAVOR.

Meet the Business Owner: Dan M.

Just a guy who loves chicken done the right way - never dry and full of flavor.

It's an absolute unit of a sandwich. Replacing pickles and mayo with red onion and mint chutney? Mental. Chef is a straight-up genius for that one. Grabbed the mini samosas on the side and washed the fire down with a Thums Up. That soda hits way harder than a Coke--sharp, spicy, and high voltage. Shoutout to Eric for holding it down and helping me navigate the spice. The art is sick and the vibes are high. If you're tired of the same old bird, come get punched in the face with some actual flavor. This isn't just lunch; it's a heavyweight bout.

At first I was impressed with all the flavors of the sandwich; however about halfway through, it became very soggy from all the sauces. I ended up ditching the bread by the very end and eating the chicken with my hands. I also wasn't a fan of the fries. They were overdone. The texture and taste was almost like they had been cooked previously, then refried again to make my order. The meal was just 3 stars for me. That being said, it's a unique concept and quite a few of their menu options looked good! Maybe I just ate there on an off day...

Located inside Penn Station across from the LIRR, they are not in the Moynihan station food court area. This location hits the spot, and is a total lifesaver when your starving, not in the mood to go to Times Square or other far out locations. The Penn station location is perfect! No crowds, if there is a small line, it moves incredibly fast. Ordered the Box Combo, and the chicken was piping hot, crispy, and perfectly breaded. And obviously, the Cane's Sauce is always a bonus. The Texas toast was buttery and thick, just the way it should be. The staff here deserves a raise; they manage the Midtown chaos with total grace and keep the seating area surprisingly clean for how high-volume it is. This is the perfect grab-and-go spot that actually tastes like quality food. If you're passing through Penn,definitely check them out. Tip: If there's a sports game at the garden, get your food before the event ends. It gets crowded when a hockey game is ending.

I ordered the three finger combo. What came out was just plain sad looking. Tiny chicken fingers, barely cooked fries. The Raising Cane's sauce was good but the vessels to that sauce were so lacking. The breading on these chicken fingers was nothing special and again, so so small. Service was fast at least, but the place itself was dirty and virtually every table needed a wipe down. I know, I know, it's Penn Station, it's supposed to be a little grimy. Honestly, if these chicken fingers weren't so tiny and my fries were properly cooked I could deal with a little grime. But come on.

I was surprised to find that it's a ghost kitchen. You walk behind the coffee shop and order from a kiosk with many other restaurants to order from as well. My order took 15 minutes and within the estimated time frame that they gave you. Once my order was ready, I clicked to open via text and the locker popped open with my bag --viola! I ordered the Claude the Claw ($18.99) with medium spicy sauce on the side. The sandwich is pretty huge. I like how they wrapped the sandwich around the claw sticking out from the bottom. I did take it out of the wrapper for the picture, but suggest you keep the wrapper on as it gets messy to eat. The spices and flavor is delicious and the chicken is crispy and tender. It's a great Nashville hot chicken sandwich overall. While the claw is insta-worthy, it's not quite worth the extra $4 (plus you can't really even eat it, so it's all for show). I'd suggest getting the claw for your first time, but I'd get the regular sandwich in the future for the lower price.

That said, the sandwich itself is great. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, and the spicy, smoky sauce complements it beautifully. It's a solid, flavorful sandwich that's definitely worth trying. You will need to decide for yourself if it lives up to the hype. A heads up, the place can be tricky to find. It's tucked inside a building behind the coffee shop that Google Maps directs you to, and seating is very limited.

And let's just say... the house won. I ordered a Chicken Sandwich, Spicy Wings, Fries, and the 3-sauce flight. The sandwich? Dry, old, and looking like it clocked out an hour before I arrived. The chicken itself was hard on the edges and somehow soggy in the center -- a combination I didn't even know was possible. The mayo situation looked like someone whispered the word "sauce" over the bun and walked away. The Spicy Wings were no better -- overcooked, dark, and tasted like they'd been sitting in the warmer since lunchtime. Not spicy. Not fresh. Just... tired. The fries? Burnt, cold, and absolutely done with life. They didn't even pretend to try. The only thing that saved this meal from being a total loss was the 3-sauce flight. Credit where it's due -- the sauces were actually solid. They added enough flavor and moisture to make the rest at least edible. Without them, this review would've ended a lot sooner. I get it -- it's Penn Station, it's late, everyone's hustling, and the crowd is nonstop. But even with that, freshness shouldn't be optional. Overall: If you're starving and desperate, grab the sauces and hope for the best. Otherwise? Keep walking. There are better options within the same block, even during off-hours. Go to Gardenia. Gov's Take: 2 stars One star for the sauces, one star for being open. That's the fairest I can be.
