This time the thighs, next time we will be back for the pies. On a scorching July 4th day, our family came here to celebrate America's 250th birthday with some good classic American comfort food. It's been years since I visited their original Williamsburg location. I was glad that this new location opened up near our neighborhood and couldn't wait to try it out. We wanted lots of their fried chicken, so we ordered both the fried chicken box and the chicken and waffles. We also ordered the catfish and grits. Let's start with the glorious fried chicken. A quick bite through its golden and crispy skin led to the juicy, but still hot, meat inside. As I gingerly took my bite, I was wondering how the crispy skin didn't leave a greasy taste in my mouth at all. Then, I noticed that the waffles here were on the softer side, which made sense given how crispy the chicken skin was. The catfish also provided a great contrast in texture with its cornmeal coated exterior and cheesy, creamy grits underneath. Finally, the biscuit that came with the fried chicken box also left an impression given how the exterior had a similar texture to the crispy chicken skin, with a buttery and moist goodness inside. The heat definitely affected our appetite negatively as we didn't have any room for pies this time. Overall, the service was nice and attentive. The decor was simple but I liked how spread out the seats and tables were. read more

My second visit to this location. First time was fine but this time there were a lot of unforced errors. I used to love the Williamsburg location way back when it first opened. Ordered a painkiller frozen cocktail and piece of pie while waiting for takeaway. Frozen cocktail machine was not yet cold/slushy enough so I had to order something else. Got the bloody mary instead and it was honestly pretty lousy. Got the check and noticed I was charged for the painkiller and not the slightly less expensive bloody mary I got instead. They had to do a void and adjustment to the check. When I got home I noticed that one of the three pieces of chicken was laughably anemic and small. The other two were only acceptably medium-small. Tasted good, though. Coleslaw was a weird joke of a grey porridge. And the kicker? They forgot one of my sides so I had to go back out again and get it. It was okay. And the cost for all of this? Almost 80 bucks! (Though I did and do always tip 20%) I want this place to succeed! Here are some tips: - Fire up that frozen drinks machine before opening so your cocktails are ready to go when you open on a hot day. - Take care when creating the check - Take care not to forget items for takeaway - Ditch the tiny wings and provide larger chicken pieces at such a price - Fix the disappointing bloody mary and coleslaw They're new and I'll probably be back eventually to see if things change. read more

The one star is for the super friendly staff and the collard greens. I don't know how the former tastes, but the latter were delicious! Chicken: Not dry, but lacked flavor Catfish: Fresh, but lacked flavor Coleslaw: They need to consider preparing differently, so that it doesn't have the texture of mush; stir for flavor. Mac & Cheese: So runny we needed to eat it with a spoon Cornbread: Tasty but way too crumbly We will not return. We visited the Williamsburg location YEARS AGO, but didn't remember being this disappointed. Honey, Ms. Sweet Chicks should be rejoicing that this ish is so terrible. read more

No complaints in the food at all! Everything was delicious. The biscuit had a great outer layer, stayed fluffy and held its own when the chicken was added. The catfish was seasoned well and solid portions were given. The cheese grits were a bit bland but everyone likes their grits different, I doctored mine up with some salt and pepper. This is where I took away a star, the salt shaker was sticky and trying to get my waiters (he was also the only bar tender) was tough. Lastly, the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, the floor was sticky like a club not even 2 hours of the establishment being open. Overall things were okay, just wish it was a bit cleaner. read more

I came in around 9:15pm on a weeknight, and the staff were very accommodating and didn't rush me despite their closing time of 10pm. I ordered a chicken sandwich, which was filled with lots of toppings (they didn't skimp on the bacon), and found it satisfying though a bit awkward to handle, since the bun was considerably smaller than the rest of the sandwich. I do wish the sandwich had a more interesting sauce than just mayo, but perhaps I can fix that myself next time by bringing a lil something. With a sandwich, you have the option to choose a side, and I picked the mac 'n' cheese, which was rich and creamy and hit the spot. I also grabbed a slice of the sour cherry and pear pie to-go, a pleasant dessert to accompany my rewatching Twin Peaks. Overall, the food was decent, the staff were very polite, and the restaurant itself was tidy. The pricing seemed a bit steep from my first glance at the menu, but I suppose it's standard for a sit-down spot in the neighborhood, and they do offer good-sized portions. I would like to return to try the chicken on its own for the full effect. read more

I walked in without a reservation before heading to a Liberty game. I was seated promptly and I appreciate being asked if I preferred a table or the bar even though I was dining solo. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles as well as a Sweet Tea. The food came out quickly which was nice since I was headed to Barclays. The chicken was good. Not the best I've ever had but it was good. I did really enjoy the sweet tea because it wasn't overly sweet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

We came the week of opening and it was packed and busy the entire time we there. Kitchen definitely felt slammed because our food took a long time. The servers kept coming by to apologize but they were probably not expecting quite the crowd. Overall good chicken not the very best I ever had but good. We enjoyed the fried chicken box, fried catfish box, and the apple pie. The biscuits were nice and service was friendly. I'd come back to revisit once it's not so busy. read more

I order 3 pieces meal with a side and a biscuit. I had to send it back as it was pink and cold at the bottom. The beans was u see cooked and hard as they were under cooked and hard.I sent my chicken back only to get back to work and it was still pink and under cooked. They also had the nerve not give the pieces I asked for. Food was horrible. Horrible experience............ Hard pass They would have to find a cook that knows how to fry chicken. I wanted to like this place but it's a hard NO . This was the Flatbush location read more

I was excited to visit this new location but unfortunately the food was underwhelming and disappointing. Don't get me wrong the service was great, friendly staff but the food missed everything. It was so bland no salt nothing. I asked for scrambled eggs with cheese and the eggs weren't even fresh and had no cheese which I was charged extra for the cheese no biggie. The catfish tasted so fishy and bland I had to drown it in Tabasco sauce. The grits were also a no I was confused by the color the cheese they sprinkled on top didn't even melt I was concerned about that. The side of bacon stale and old probably from the day prior. I was the first customer of the day as soon as they opened so it was empty. The mimosa came in a small cup I was surprised. But honestly the food was a no go. They need to change the recipe. read more

One of the most delicious chocolate chip cookies! Whoever made these, thank you . I also picked up a delicious looking cinnamon roll for my daughter. Oh and yeah, next time I'll actually try a piece of cherry pie. read more

Great comfort food. The fried chicken box comes with thigh, drumstick and wing. choice of side dish and biscuit. Biscuit was the best I have ever had! You can order as many (or as few) pieces of fried chicken à la carte too. Great, quick option before heading to an event at Barclays Center. read more

This location is so incredibly disappointing. I tried the original location first and fell in love with the fried chicken. I ended up ordering delivery from this location and the chicken was fried PERFECTLY but had no seasoning whatsoever. Whatever theyre a new location, it happens. So i go in person, order to go. I get home, same thing: super crunchy , beautiful color but ZERO seasoning. I guess I was determined to give them a chsnce because today was my 3rd order. Well once again, NO FLAVOR. The reason im giving 2 stars is the baked goods. The biscuit is fantastic, the cinnamon roll is the best I had and the pies are all good. I wanted to love them so much but 3 times and Im done. Ill visit the Williamsburg location when im in that part of town for a better experience. read more

Excellent service! Food is delicious and the ambiance is pleasing to the eye. Jonathan is the best server! Thank you read more

I think I died and went to heaven. Chicken biscuit with honey butter just brought me to actual tears on a Saturday morning. If they don't start opening early so that I can get this on my way to work I'm going to chain myself to the front of the building in protest. Also jeremy was so nice and the service was phenomenal. I'm giddy with joy. the other reviewer that left a 1 star is out of their gourd and needs therapy. If you don't try this place your summer is gonna suck. read more

Pies 'n' Thighs - Chicken biscuit with honey butter. I'm fucking floored. This is certified BUSSIN - Southern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I walked into the Flatbush location, anticipating a great service. But that wasn't the case, I was greeted warmly and seated but that was the extent of the pleasantries . After I was seated( table for 1), the hostess (Taylor) proceeded to ask the server to move me to the counter, while there were many open and available. I stated, I didn't want to seat at the counter, no other options were made available, they simply didn't care whether I stayed or left, I chose the latter. read more

I came here the week it opened, I had never heard of it.. then found out the original was in Williamsburg. The manager was very welcoming and even asked my opinion on the music selection.. you could tell he valued the opinion of the patrons. I had the catfish meal, the grits were a bit grainy but the flavor was there, I enjoyed the fish and cornbread. I don't eat cold slaw so no review there. It was def worth the money. read more

I was disappointed with my meal. The chicken tastes unseasoned. The crunch is great but where is the flavor. The baked beans had a good flavor but the beans themselves were not cooked enough. They were harder than I like. The biscuit was the saving grace. I really liked the flavor and texture. The honey butter only elevated the overall biscuit experience. read more

Been 2 times. First was within the first week of opening. And it was packed. Think the staff did a great job. Second time this week. Had the catfish, it was delicious. Really enjoyed the baked beans and a side of collards. They were the perfect texture and saltiness. I must come back for some more. I enjoyed the music and even better was the toffee pecan donut!!! SO GOOD. Love the bar seating for me to just jump in for a quick lunch. Planning to come back with some friends soon read more

First time visiting the location, greeting was good. After that you have to ask for everything you needed. On top of that the food was nothing to write home about. The hottest item on my plate was the French fries. The biscuit was rock hard and the chicken was dry and over cooked. Needless to say that was my last visit. read more

Just went to the new location and it was amazing ! The food is just as good as the Williamsburg location. The service was great. And the design for the new space was incredible!! Highly recommend! read more
