Pecking House loudly proclaims on it's website that their "fried chicken isn't cheap" and that they're proud of that. And that's very true. A 3-piece meal runs you $27 plus tax here. Is it worth it? I'd definitely recommend trying it and judging for yourself, but for me it wasn't quite worth the price. The chicken itself is well-fried and good quality but nothing particularly outstanding, and their "unique" spices are just salted egg yolk and what's basically a Sichuan peppercorn flavor. Overall tasty but haven't felt any desire to come back and drop $30 on fried chicken again despite living quite close by. read more

In my opinion this was kind of a perfect chicken sandwich! The chicken was really crispy and juicy and quite large, the Sichuan spice is a pretty uncommon pairing but unsurprisingly very tasty. The bread was very ideal in every aspect (thin, very soft,) and there was an apt amount of pickles and sauce. My one complaint was that the chili oil made this quite oily and messy. I would definitely be interested in trying the salted duck yolk flavored chicken sometime. The cheddar cornbread was ok as it was a little bit dry/crumbly and the cheddar was just in a (slightly dry) layer on top. Not sure if I tasted any apple in the honey Was not that busy when we came in at ~12:30 on a Saturday. read more

Heard about Pecking House on social media and wanted to check out the hype. My partner and I ordered the 2 piece chicken meal (w chili chicken and charred cucumbers w ginger side) and a spicy chicken sandwich - TASTE: 4/5 - the chili chicken was great and the right amount of spicy; I'm curious to try their salted egg flavor lol. The fuqi chili sauce in the spicy chicken sandwich was initially spicy and intimidating lol, but became evenly balanced w the rest of the sandwich. Thought there could've been stronger ginger flavor in the cucumbers TEXTURE: 5/5 - the fried chicken was perfectly fried, 10/10! Crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, and super satisfying PRICE: 4/5 - our lunch came out to $42.02 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - I like having the options for the 2 vs. 3 piece chicken meals because the 2 piece was a perfect portion for me SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in when Pecking House opened at 12pm on a Monday, ordered at the counter, and got seated. Our food came out in 10min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - great use of space with modern-meets-retro decor, including the chicken mural PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot on the same block along Flatbush Ave read more

Really cute spot with a friendly service . A good menu small and to the point. Personally I think the chicken itself could have had a bit more flavor, but was very crunchy ! Also did not really care for the bun. But I am giving three start because their soy sauce pickles blew my mind and everyone so go try them so freaking good I could eat a whole jar ! read more

This place serves up chicken in a variety of ways, with an Asian twist. I appreciated how they had flavors like salted egg, which was pretty unique. The restaurant has been hyped up so much by social media and my friends so I was excited to try it. From the name, I kind of assumed they would have more Chinese dishes, but it's heavily revolved around chicken and southern cuisine. The place itself is gorgeous and nicely decorated. I've always walked past it on the outside and assumed it was a proper restaurant, but it's actually a more casual, fast food vibe. You order at the register in the front and they bring you the food to your table. You also have to get your own water and busk your table at the end. I was surprised that they heavily pushed for a tip, even having a sign next to where you pay advocating for it. I got the 2 piece chicken meal with the salted egg flavor with the cornbread side. For $18 this is pretty expensive, as the chicken pieces skewed on the smaller side. We also tried the potato salad and cauliflower sides. The chicken itself is solid, but didn't wow me. I was expecting more from the salted egg flavor, but it didn't really pop to me. The chicken was juicy, I just wished it was a big bigger. The cornbread was ok, it came with honey on the side, but still was pretty dry and crumbly. The potato salad tasted as expected. The cauliflower, however, was my favorite by far. It came cooked in cheese and topped with breadcrumbs. I loved how creamy it was and it complimented the chicken perfectly. Overall, I'm glad I tried Pecking House, but I doubt I will come back. There's far better chicken places in the area, that are also more affordable considering the casual environment. read more

Pecking House - *2 Piece Chicken Meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

At $23, you get two thighs and two sides (priced at $5 each individually), so "most expensive chicken in nyc might be an overreach" but still pricey enough to make your wallet turn its head. I'm glad the price point comes with two appetizers because "best fried chicken in nyc" should be met with the same skepticism when a high school boy tells you "I've had sex". I was actually able to sample all 3 appetizers and the bean salad surprisingly slaps. Sweet potatoes are standard and the Brussel sprouts missed the mark. They were a little too dry... BUT the juices from the thigh overflow by the touch, so I was able to salvage it by mixing them together. Now I've had both the fried chicken sandwich and the 2 piece. For $14 how is my chicken not juicy? I think a lot of the flavor is dependent on the marinated garnish and... eh. The flavors are very Asian inspired and as an Asian, the novelty is lost on me. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that it'd fit in with one of NYC's many Chinese enclaves. And for the 2 piece-- same. On the outside, disguises itself as a dry rub from first glance. But one squeeze and it's a treasure chest chili flavors. I think the spice level is comparable to Taco Bell, so I wouldn't pack any diapers. Beyond that, the chicken quality is not as outstanding as the jingoists claim. read more

***** SF Pop-Up Review ***** 4.5 STARS 2-3 month waitlist?! People proclaiming: "The BEST fried chicken ever!" "The BEST fried chicken you'll have in your life!" "The BEST fried chicken in the world!" OK, these are fighting words. *KICKS OFF FLIP FLOPS* Let's GO! So does Pecking House have the BEST fried chicken ever/in my life/world? Hmm, I don't know about that..."best" is always subjective. BUT, what I do know is, flavor-wise, this is the most unique fried chicken I've had. So...I'm jumping on the hype train and saying, you gotta try Pecking House's fried chicken for yourself to decide. Lucky for those in the SF Bay Area, there's no 2-3 month waitlist and we don't have to fly to NYC to get a hold of Pecking House's highly coveted Chili Fried Chicken. The owner-chef, Eric Huang (Eleven Madison Park and Gramercy Tavern alum) is currently doing his pandemic born, Pecking House pop-up at Lord Stanley in SF until February 26th. O R D E R I N G Pre-order and pre-pay via Tock for takeout. Link to order: https://www.exploretock.com/turntableatlordstanley/. Pick-up times: 12:30 pm - 9:15 pm; 15 minute time-slots. M E N U * 3 pc Chili Fried Chicken ($17) * Sides: Dirty Rice ($6) or Mashed Yams ($8) * Meal: 3 pc Chili Fried Chicken + both sides ($30) * Dessert: Peanut Butter Pudding ($8) F O O D * 3 pc Chili Fried Chicken ($17): https://bit.ly/3oX1LjG ***One wing, a drumstick, and a quarter breast. Steep pricing! ***No side hot sauce included that was pictured in NYC pics. Two words: FLAVOR BOMB! The fried chicken is piping hot with a thick, extra crunchy and craggy crust packed with spices. It's like a hybrid of Nashville Hot Chicken and Sichuan Chongqing Chicken with an addicting málà numbing spice. Most of the flavor is from the batter but it's so deeply complex with a kiss of sweetness. Hits ALL the right flavor notes. And, yes...there's MSG in it which will make Uncle Roger VERY happy (I was not hella thirsty afterwards). The chicken was tender and moist (even the breast), not juicy though. One bummer is when I picked up the breast piece, the batter broke apart and fell off. Whomp. Make sure to ask for plenty of napkins. I was left with chili oil all over my fingers. S E R V I C E Friendly. After you check-in, they finish your order so it will take another 5 minutes. A M B I A N C E Takeout window. There's 2 round tables outside Lord Stanley to eat your food. P A R K I N G Parking always sucks in the Russian Hill area. Try to bring another person who can grab your order while you drive around the block. Overall, I get the hype for Pecking House. I can't say, that it's the best fried chicken ever/in my life/world but it's certainly the most unique I've had. If you're in the SF Bay Area and happen to be reading this, def worth trying Pecking House while they're in SF! read more

Pecking House - Pecking House Pop-up @Lord Stanley, San Francisco: Chili Fried Chicken | 3 pc-$17 (pre-order via Tock) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here for the happy hour special, four chili wings $12 and $5 cans of beer. The chili wings have a slow building heat, similar to chili crunch, tasty. The naked fried chicken has a delicious seasoning of Chinese spices and fried to perfection. Enjoyed the dirty rice and the cornbread, which has pieces of corn. Will add Pecking House to our rotation of fried chicken. The service was great too, and the tables were clean. Free flat and sparkling water, thank you! read more

Oh cluck!! Third and final update: Why did I come here? Why have I been blinded by my Neanderthal desire for fat and salt? What is the allure of this place? Why am I updating for a third and final time? Because I have come to the conclusion that this place is overrated. Perhaps the cooking style is relatively unique to this area, or that I just really want to love this as much as the first time round? But I can't give it four stars anymore. Third time I saw through my fried fantasies of amazing chicken and feel it's just too little bang for the high price. I opted for a side sauce of Green Garlic Ranch: NOT worth the $2 they tack on. It was pleasantly green and garlicky but not worth it and I ended up resenting the extra cost. The food is already expensive and well, a $2 plastic ramekin of goop? The Gratin of cauliflower was flavorful but the consistency was pasty and mushy. Sure, that's sorta what one may expect but something about the texture was unpleasant. After my VERY expensive mistake with the chili chicken I went back to my original choice of "naked" chicken and was sadly underwhelmed. The batter wasn't as dreamy, nor was it consistent with my previous experience. It seemed like two normal pieces of fried chicken for $18. Same bones. Same flaky crust. What the doop? Lastly what ends my relationship here always the state of the bathroom. I came in at 5pm. Well before the 6:15pm rush and found the WC in a deplorable state. Couldn't bear to wash my hands in a filthy sink and the general grime seems unfit for a place with such high price points and nickel and dining me for 2 oz of sauce. So I've run my run here at Pecking House. I'm sure it's going to do just fine without my patronage. read more

I came in on a Thursday evening, the place was pretty much half empty, with plenty of tables. You place your order at the front desk and then they give you a number before you choose your own seating. I got the PH chicken sandwich which was $16 and the Orange Pepper Wet Wings for $13. For the portion size of the wings, it's 7 small wings for $13, making it really expensive. The PH chicken sandwich came with crispy chicken thigh, pickles and some caramelized onion. The first few bites were great, but the chicken didn't really have much flavor. Towards the middle and end, it really didn't feel tasty. There's not enough flavor in the chicken sandwich, making it feel dry. As for the wet wings... I truly don't know how I feel about the sauce. Besides the portion/wing size, the flavor wasn't hitting the spot for me, it was very soggy hence wet wings, I guess. But it didn't really stand out. Wouldn't pay $13 for these wings again! read more

Overall rating: 3.5 I know this was a popular place for awhile but something's missing for me. Personally, I feel like this belongs in Bushwick over Prospect Heights. The ordering process is complicated! First, it's not explained. There's a sign that says something but it wasn't entirely clear for a first timer. I kinda wish the staff was more helpful. Because when I asked questions, I just got confused looks. I wanted to sit down and eat but bc of my poor experience, I ended up taking it to go. When I did get my food afterwards, there was another person that was much nicer. I'm not sure something overall on the service just felt off to me. The sandwich itself was good. But again, $20 for a sandwich in prospect heights. No. Not for me. They should consider dimming the lights because it is way too bright in there. read more

I've wanted to try this spot for a while after seeing YouTube videos and recommendations. I got their (new?) Chicken crumb seasoned fries ($10) or something like that that the worker recommended. I also got the spicy and the regular sandwich. The fries were not worth it. They tasted very average. The seasoning tasted a bit like Cajun but it was fairly light. The spicy chicken sandwich had a lot of seasoning and sauce and it looked great from the outside but the chicken has not flavor from the inside and I would say it did not absorb the best. The regular chicken sandwich had too much mayo. For $16 a chicken sandwich, I'd say it's very much not worth it. One sandwich was not filling to me at all. read more

Truly the most amazing fried chicken I have had!! It was hard to decide between 2pc chicken and the sandwich, but I'm glad we went with the 2pc. We both got the chili chicken - the delicate, crispy perfectly-fried shell was drenched in the most delicious and spicy sauce and the meat was incredibly juicy and tender. Devoured both!! Loved the bean salad - must get. The cornbread was a bit dry, so I would pass on this one. The vibes were fantastic inside as well. We truly loved it. PH is also super close to Barclay's so it is the perfect spot before a game. Will 1000% be back! read more

Pecking House - chili fried chicken with bean salad and cornbread - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Unlike the other reviewers, I didn't come in here thinking I was supposed to be eating the best chicken ever! A friend recommended it to me after waiting a long wait list for their chicken. It was super expensive and it still is! For two pieces of chicken you pay for 20 dollars! I couldn't be able to do that for myself. So instead I spent it on other things I would find more delectable. My party ordered the chicken so we had some shares to side. A big part of why I didn't give this a 5 is mainly because the sides were not optional.. you have to have the side with your chicken meal and for some people we just want chicken. I feel like there should be at least one option for that. Since it's a pop up, everything is order at the cashier- basically the same as how the Rosalu Diner is run (the morning diner portion). The draft beer was good as I got their draft IPA and for my meal I had the duck drumettes and the chili wings and my vegetarian party ordered the only vegetarian option on the menu, the oyster mushroom sandwich (the sides are so small- it is not enough for a meal even if you combine them) Everything we got was super flavorful and delightful. The chili wings tasted really unhealthy but really comforting as it reminds me of eating spicy chips while eating chicken! It's definitely really unique and I never ate anything like that. The duck drumettes were my favorite by far- cooked really well and has amazing seasoning and whatever they put on top of it really brought all the flavors out. It came with jalapeño and I recommend eating the jalapeño with it! The oyster mushroom sandwich was actually fried and had a really unique flavor to the sandwich that's really comforting and inviting! It's actually spicy too which is a plus. My vegetarian party was happy with the meal however not full still. My other party was mixed as one loved the chicken meal and one didn't like it at all. It really depends on your taste buds for this place but I can tell you one thing- a lot of the flavor of the other main entrees beside the chicken is really flavorful and unique. I would come and get the duck drumettes again for sure. The sides were very Chinese forward in taste. The beans were more vinegary and I really enjoyed the taste of those. The Brussels sprouts were soft and steamed- it's sort of a fusion from American to Chinese (the mayo from regular crispy Brussels sprouts and the steamed veggies in Chinese culture) and my favorite side is not vegetarian- it's the mashed potatoes with duck gravy. I kept eating it - it was so good. All in all- come at your own risk since it's a high price tag and if you enjoy trying new foods I would say give it a try. But if you don't want to risk not liking it and buying the hype than I would say you can stick to the classics or bring a friend split a meal! read more

Every time we walked by this place, it was packed it a line out the door. So my husband and I finally went to see what all the rage was about. We got there a little before opening and ordered, and sat down. I got the PH chicken sandwich. My husband the 2 piece salted egg fried chicken, and a side of cornbread. I don't mean to be harsh, but Chick-Fil-A does a better job with their chicken sandwiches and they don't cost $16. My husband's fried chicken, was honestly nothing special about it. The outer coating maybe was a little creative, but frankly, I was not impressed. I'm not too sure what this place's identity is: are they going for like Southern Fried Chicken or Southern comfort-Asian fusion? Right now, they seem confused. The food was mediocre, the prices were way too high, and it's basically glorified fried chicken and bougie chicken sandwiches that you can get from Chick-Fil-A for half the price. In fact, I can get a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, fries, and nuggets for less than $16. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

After seeing them all over YouTube and the food blogs I finally had the chance to check them out. I thought the food was good although I kinda wish they didn't double fry the chicken since it made them look burnt. The flavor was pretty good but that chili chicken looked so greasy, and it sat in a pool of grease before you ate it. It tasted pretty unique, but in this case I couldn't eat too much without feeling gross. It's a good experience and worth a try if you're a fan of hot chicken and want to try something different from your normal Nashville hot chicken or Korean BBQ. I only wish they would have used dark meat instead of the breast. The breast was juicy, but you really can't beat dark meat. I loved how they offer sparkling water at the self service tap along side water. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood. I got the sloppy po tofu sandwich and my husband got the chicken pieces. Personally, the reason it gets a 4 is because the sloppy po made the bread too soggy for my liking so it changed the taste a bit and made the eating experience super messy. read more

I love fried chicken. I love fried chicken sandwiches. And the Spicy Fried Chicken Sando at Pecking House... I love it, too. This sandwich was huge! I had a hard time eating it because the fried chicken cutlet is just that big... and that's a good thing. The chicken was sooo tender, too. The spice wasn't a fiery spice like I expected. They use a ton of chili oil, which made it more of a numbing spice, but not in an overwhelming way. My one complaint is that it did feel a bit greasy because of how much oil they used, but that didn't bother me too much. Overall, I would recommend for a quick lunch or dinner! read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and really enjoyed my meal. You walk in and order at the counter, get a number and grab a table. They bring the food over to your table. It did start getting busy in the afternoon but turn over is pretty quick. Chili fried chicken - pretty good, quite spicy though. The pieces that were primarily skin were very heavy in flavor but with the chicken it was amazing. Salted egg fried chicken - my favorite item, a must try. I love salted egg and the combination with the chicken was just perfect. Obviously quite salty but with the right amount of chicken to skin ratio it was perfect. Sweet potato mash - pretty good! I liked the pumpkin seeds in it, added nice texture Dirty fried rice - I wasn't a huge fan, it was a little dry for me and the flavors are more subtle which is okay but was definitely Italy overshadowed by everything else. Tasted really good with the skin from the chili fried chicken. The restaurant itself is so cute, I loved the chicken murals along the walls. It's a very chill and easy-going vibe. read more

Had their well renowned fried chicken at a popup by EatOutpost in the UES and the spice rub is amazingly tasty - little bit of heat but not too spicy and very flavorful.

The cauliflower wings were amazing! A bit overpriced but great flavor. The traditional wings are tiny and okay, but nothing to brag about.

Yes, yes, yes. A resounding yes. The fried chicken in their chili flavor is jaw dropping-ly good. Be prepared for a bit of oil at the bottom of your tray, but my goodness this is scrumptious. That skin is chock-full of mala flavor and the crisp from the skin is absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure how Chef Huang achieves it, but I haven't had anything else like this yet. It's addictive to say the least. I had the braised red cabbage side, it wasn't really my taste profile of what I wanted to achieve. Perhaps it's for someone else, but not for me. Come here feeling like it's potentially overhyped, and it still delivers on par, if not better. Quick to deliver the food, spacious location and plenty of seating. Can't wait to come back and have a go at their chicken sandwiches or other flavors! read more

*This review is based on a pop-up in San Francisco at Lord Stanley Turntable. I was late to the game last year in pre-ordering chicken during their run here, so I was on it this year. This NY based restaurant pop-up is no joke when it comes to Fried Chicken! That CRUNCH is a game changer. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful with a thick and even more flavorful craggy crunchy crust. It's pure genius perfection and I've never had anything quite like it. I've had a lot of fried chicken growing up in the south (I've even been known to say that I need fried chicken to be my last meal on earth- I love it so much) and I can truly say this is the best I've ever had. We tried both options, the Chili and the Salted Egg. Both were phenomenal, but if I had to choose a favorite I'd say the Salted Egg just because it was so unique. We tried all of the available sides and all were great. The Heirloom Bean salad was the fave- unique, bursting with flavor and fresh. The Yams were great- nothing special. The Dirty Rice was my least favorite as it lacked any powerful flavor that one would expect in a dirty rice. The Peanut Butter Pudding dessert was nice. Super dense and not too sweet, with the brittle being a nice touch of texture. I'd definitely add this place to my NY list of restaurants and hope they make a return to SF in years to come. The ordering through Tock and pick up was pretty seamless. Not a cheap bucket of chicken meal, so be ready to pay for what you get, which is the best fried chicken you'll ever eat. read more

Saw a YouTube video about this place and heard great things from a co-worker about the chicken here. Location: close to Barclay center stadium Seating: coming on a Wednesday lunch wasn't busy and my group of 3 was seated once we ordered at the front. Others: service was great, food came within 10-15 mins, and they had sparkling water and distilled water on tap. Food: 4/5 Crispy chicken sandwich this is a their rendition of a classic chicken sandwich with their own sauce, soy pickles, and caramelized onions. This was really good and savory but the sauce was a little overwhelming in my opinion. 4/5 Spicy chicken sandwich: fried in fuqi chili sauce, pickled jalapenos, oaxaca cheese, and chipotle mayo. This was my favorite because it was my first bite and it was cheesy with a kick. The chicken was crispy and the chili brought out the flavor. 4.5/5 3 piece chili chicken - came with a leg, thigh, and a breast. I split this and unfortunately got the breast which was still very tender and delicious, but it wasn't as tender as the dark meat that has more flavor. The skin was delicious with the chili sauce fried into the skin and had lots of flavor. 2.5/5 Collared greens with bacon - side was heavy and wasn't as appetizing. 5/5 Bean salad - super refreshing compared to all the heavy sauces and chicken. It cut through the fried and spiciness of the chicken. Overall it was a great experience, pretty expensive, but definitely delicious. I honestly felt heavy the whole day after eating this so just a heads up, but would come again in the future. read more

i literally was so confused what this place was. they were like chicken place pecking house. i thought they meant PEKING so i was confused when i kept searching it up and getting chinese restaurants. anyways this was a bit of a ways away but it was pretty easy to get here. public transportation is so awesome! anyways we got there and it was raining so freaking hard. like it was sprinkling in manhattan but then when we got off the subway it was raining like i have never seen rain before. like i think that was the hardest i have ever seen it rain PERIOD. but the workers were nice. they saw us come in soaking wet and got us towels and stuff. we ordered the cornbread and then we got like three flavors of chicken to split among the six of us. and the cornbread was mid af. don't get it. i was shocked because there was real corn in there though i never had cornbread with real corn bits in it. it was pretty dry and like the honey just tasted like normal. the chicken though, the chicken was good!!! wow i slurped it all up. it was marinated well and you don't even need the sauce. it was just good on its own! i would want to come back here because chicken is awesome and honestly it was pretty worth it for six people! fire chicken! 4.5 stars! read more

I ordered via their website and pick up was quick and easy. I do recommend waiting until your actual pick up time, because you'll have to wait outside otherwise. I had the 2 piece chicken meal with a side and opted for the duck gravy mashed potatoes. I also got an extra side of the ginger cucumbers to share with my party. The chicken was really good, super moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The duck gravy mashed potatoes were killer and I would 100% order those again. It's just so savory and tasty. The cucumbers were just ok though, not really enough flavor IMO. X had their fried chicken sandwich and it was pretty damn good. I think I'd go for that next time. read more

Service was excellent -- we wandered in on Memorial day for an early dinner and there was 0 wait. We ordered at the counter and then sat in a booth, waited (perhaps, not so patiently, lol) for our meal. The ambiance is what one would call Instagram gold. Lots of spots in the space that are worth capturing. Now, for the food! TBH, I was...underwhelmed. The salted egg chicken was good, but not great. The regular fried chicken was just alright (too). The rice was exceptionally dry and we barely finished the beans dish. I was surprised, especially since I had such an incredible meal when I ordered from them during the pandemic. I'm going to chalk it up to coming on an off day, and possibly return again for a 2nd try. read more

4.5/5 I expected a little more from Pecking House. The fried chicken was amazing; however, the spices lacked a little more than I expected. Since I'm used to Schezwan, I felt like the Chili Fried Chicken tastes very familiar to regular fried chicken with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp, for those are familiar with it. The Salty Egg Chicken was an interesting take but I found it to be too salty. The sides were amazing. The Oyster Mushroom Po'boy wasn't that impressive. The sauce was very close to sriracha. I recommend getting 2 fried chicken dish of both chilli and salty egg to try. read more

The chicken: it does have crunching I will say. But the taste was very overwhelming in salt. Liquid is definitely needed when eating this. The spicy Chicken flavor, it wasn't as spicy according to another friend. Although the color on that skin was very red in spices.

* review for pop-up in SF at Turntable* I might have had too high expectations but I wasn't as impressed. I got both the salted egg and chili fried chicken which were cooked beautifully and the outside was very crunchy. However, I could see that the skin inside looked boiled, like the chicken was sous vide and then fried with batter. I enjoyed the flavors but the chicken meat itself was bland. I expected a little bit more for the price I paid, but still recognizing that this was a pop-up, I'll think of stopping by the original in the future. read more

I ordered the chili chicken sando, and it was amazing. I loved how crispy yet juicy the sandwich was, paired with soft milk bread. The chili crisps in the batter was a great idea, whoever came up with it. It was a little out of the way for me to get here, but definitely worth the trip read more

First tried Pecking House at EatsCon and thought it was one of the best fried drumsticks I'd ever had, so was excited to go to their brick and mortar location. Chicken was just as good as I remembered and the ability to add foie gras to a chicken sandwich was a nice touch (and super delicious). The seating inside felt a little cramped, but you go for the delicious fried chicken (not ambiance). Would probably order takeout next time! read more
