Don't sleep on Chicken-n-Smash. I ended up there one late night after getting off the L train, not expecting much--everyone's doing chicken sandwiches these days, and most of them are just fine. But this spot actually delivers.
The chicken sandwich is straight-up good. Juicy, flavorful, no gimmicks--just solid. And the fries? Crispy, well-seasoned, exactly what you want when you get that craving. I haven't tried the smash burgers yet, but if they're anything like the rest of the menu, I'm sure they're worth it.
They used to have BOGO deals on Uber Eats after 9 PM--not sure if that's still on, but it was a killer deal if you're craving a late-night bite.
Solid addition to the East Village--support the indie spots that actually bring it. read more
