The service staff was very welcoming, friendly, courteous, patient, and very helpful. Salmon BLT with fries. The lady says it was delicious moist and very fiilling. Spicy Salmon tartar. The lady enjoyed this very much. Original burger done medium with fries. The lady enjoy half her meal because it was so filling and tasty. She took the rest to go. Tomato soup with Grilled cheese combo. The gentleman enjoyed every drop and bite. Watermelon salad was refreshing with the toppings. Another burger well done. The lady enjoyed the burger but, couldn't finished the fries so, her sidekick enjoyed them. Two grain bowls one with chicken and one without. The chicken was shared between both bowls. The bowls were eaten clean so, I guess they were yummy. The Half Chicken and waffle was amazingly moist and delicious. And I got a side of bacon to balance off the sweetness of the syrup. Lemonade was refreshing. Coffee was fresh and hit the spot( all three cups) This place was quite busy the whole time we were here. They have outside tables as well. Where we were the wall was up so we were inside with an outside veiw and feel. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood.

Oh, the memories.. I really wanted breakfast but it was like 4pm and that menu option wasn't available but the host mentioned that they have a Happy Hour deal at the bar so I figured why not. Let me check out what they have to offer. They had some happy hour beverages but I'm not a big drinker. Besides I had to go to work. But for those who like wine, one type of IPA and margaritas, they had some special specials on those drinks. And on the food, can't remember what they really had besides the Mac and cheese dumplings, which I have never heard of, but I was ready to explore. So I ordered the dumplings with the cheese dipping sauce and they were OK. Not really my thing and I don't know if I will order them again per se but they were OK in my opinion. Next visit I'll try to get there for Breakfast/Brunch or dinner because I know those menus have some great options!

I've been a regular customer for a while. No more. Today I places a deliver order. I never got it…read more Why not? Because the driver couldn't find the building which is 20 stories tall and on a corner. According to their records ,it was delivered. I had to wait 20minutes- and couldn't speak to someone on site, but to someone in Chicago. I got 10 dollars for my trouble. Also since I was deemed the trouble maker, I had to remember a code every time I order from them. I asked- four times why the delivery man , the restaurant, or even Chicago wouldn't call. They DO have the number . Instead I got the runaround and labeled a troublemaker. You know, I can get a grilled cheese without this kind of drama. Guess you can lose a customer when you operate out of Chicago.

This was our post Brooklyn marathon brunch spot and it was a HIT. All of the cheering we did was…read morevery exhausting and this fueled us. The one runner was also very happy to be there. While a wait for a table was awhile, we were able to snag 3 bar spots right away. This was pretty ideal! The wait was expected, but there were sooo many tables both inside and outside. I'm sure if you put your name on a list, it would move fast. We got a mix of drinks and coffees, and then a hodgepodge of everything from the menu. I really loved this place. It came at the recommendation of a cafe owner in the neighborhood and I am very grateful. The vibes were cozy and cool, food was fantastic and drinks were creative. Big fan. There was a big flea market/vintage fair right outside, so of course I had the rest of the group hold down the fort while I rummaged. The bartender also mentioned that the marathon ran right past them earlier in the day, which is pretty fun. As a Jersey girl, I find that much cooler than it probably is. For me, the veggie burger stole the show. If it's still on the menu when you go, I recommend! Didn't fall apart at all.

You would think the restaurant was trying to kill us! I ordered the mussels, and there was no…read moremention of cilantro in the description. Yet, the smaller than expected plate of mussels was piled high with more cilantro than I have ever seen outside of a food prep station at a Mexican restaurant. This is during the lettuce Cyclospora outbreak, which cilantro was an item that was recommended to avoid, and so I was trying to avoid cilantro too. Once I removed the piled high cilantro into a separate dish, I got into the mussels. And I have to say that there were so many empty shells, I was wondering where all those mussels went because they certainly were not hiding in the broth or in the monstrous amount of cilantro I had removed from the top of the dish. I honestly don't think I have ever had a more disappointing dish of mussels. Probably in total there were 10 mussels I consumed. And for $28! Here is the menu description: Steamed in a saffron-coconut sauce with chilies and scallions. Accompaniment: Served with grilled sourdough bread for dipping into the broth I will NEVER return to this restaurant and honestly want to call my credit card and report fraud to get a refund. Because this meal was not right!.

Without the onions, pickles, or sauce I felt like you could really taste the flavor of the burger more. The traditional smash burger was also great it reminded me of Shake Shack with a more onion-forward bite. We also tried the kimchi and BBQ burgers, which were both good, but I preferred the more simplistic options. The accidental order was the best part of this experience. Will 100% be back

This one honestly hurt my heart…read more.. Y'all... this review hurts my heart to write because I am a Sweet Chick fan. Not a "I tried it once" fan. A real fan. I've been going to Sweet Chick since there was only one location in Brooklyn. I was literally traveling from Jersey to Brooklyn just for the food, the drinks, and the experience, and I never minded doing it because it was always worth it. So when they opened the Ludlow Street location, I was excited because now I didn't have to make the trip to Brooklyn every time I wanted my chicken and waffles. Back then, Sweet Chick was an experience. They had the big specials board with rotating waffles, desserts, and seasonal items. Their chicken and waffles never missed. I honestly can't remember ever leaving disappointed. So this review is really hard for me. Back on June 26th, after work, my mom and I decided to grab dinner. I work in the LES, and she suggested Sweet Chick. I did tell her my brother Robert had gone recently and said it had changed a lot, but we figured we'd see for ourselves. We got there around 9-ish. The first thing we noticed... It was HOT. Not warm. Hot. Like, "why does it feel like a sauna in here?" hot. We've had enough hot weather this summer, so walking into a restaurant with little to no air conditioning was honestly uncomfortable. We actually debated leaving before we even ordered, but decided to stick it out. Unfortunately... it never got better. The service also wasn't what I remembered. I'm really big on customer service, and Sweet Chick has always had amazing service whenever I've gone. This time it just felt different. The attentiveness wasn't there, and the overall vibe just felt... off. Even the menu has changed. My mom used to love their kale salad, but now it's made differently with things like dates, and she wasn't interested in it anymore. For drinks, my mom ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately she really didn't enjoy it. It was pretty bitter, and we couldn't quite figure out what was off about it. If I'm ordering an espresso martini, I have certain expectations, and this one just didn't hit for her. I ordered the Queen of New York, and I actually really enjoyed my drink. No complaints there. Now... the food. I ordered the Maple Chipotle Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffle. And this is where my heart really broke. Years ago, when they first introduced the sweet potato waffle as a special, I remember it actually tasting like sweet potato. This one... Honestly just tasted like a regular waffle. I kept looking for that sweet potato flavor, and it just wasn't there. The chicken itself was crispy and cooked well, but the maple chipotle sauce wasn't evenly coated. Some bites were really good, while other pieces were dry because they barely had any sauce on them. Another thing longtime Sweet Chick fans might notice is the butter service. I remember getting three or four different flavored butters, each in their own little container. This time we got two flavors together in one cup. It's a small thing, but it was one of those details that always made Sweet Chick feel special. My mom ordered the Carolina BBQ Chicken with the Grilled Corn Waffle. I'll be fair--her waffle absolutely tasted like a corn waffle. I tried it, and it was really good. She enjoyed her meal more than I did, although she also had a few pieces of chicken that weren't evenly coated with sauce and were a little dry. Overall, she thought it was okay. And I think that's really the word for this visit. Okay. Not terrible. But not the Sweet Chick we remembered. Maybe that's why this visit hit me so hard. When you've loved a place for years, you naturally compare it to what you know it can be. I genuinely hope this was just an off night because I have so many great memories here, and I'd honestly love to come back one day and have the Sweet Chick experience that made me fall in love with it in the first place. Because this restaurant has meant a lot to me over the years, and I'm rooting for it. I really am.

There was a line even when I went around 2pm, and for a bento + a miso soup I spent about $30 which I think is pretty steep for what it is (rice, salmon, brussel sprouts, and a small salad). The egg salad on the side of one of our bentos was also almost $5 for a pretty small portion, although the miso soup was a decent size. My husband got the chicken nanban (the slightly cheaper option) which I think was well done and seemed more filling and maybe a little more worth the price. Everything felt fresh and good quality, and the space is very clean and minimal, so I could see it being a nice spot to catch up with a friend, although I can't imagine how busy it would be during peak hours. I haven't tried the pastries or drinks which also looked pretty good, and the shop in the front is pretty fun to browse, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Of course, we did what we always do; showed up without a reservation haha... It was packed, and the hostess told us the was no way they could seat us. Defeated, we went outside ans sat on a bench trying to figure out our next move. Then the unimaginable happened. One of the people running the floor passed us outside, started chatting with us, and said, "let me double-check". A few minutes later, he came back and got us a table! He make sure we understood that we only had it for a short window bc they needed it back at a certain time -- but we got at least hour and a half to enjoy it so we were THRILLED. To us that was more than enough. He really went out of his way to make it happen, and honestly wish I remembered his name so I could give him the credit he deserves. And the service from there was outstanding. Even though we knew we had a time restriction, we never felt rushed or hurried for a second. Everything felt relaxed, attentive, and perfectly paced, which made them whole experience even better. Once we sat down, we started ordering as quickly as possible. The grilled clams were insanely good -- flavorful and with just the right little kick. The Nduja & sungold tomato toast was surprise favorite. The tomatoes were so juicy, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Simple, but SO good. The little gem salad was fresh, crunchy and exactly what we needed in between all the richer dishes. For pastas, I had the mafaldini with parmigiano, one of their signatures, and it was delicious. BUT... I have to give the win to my husband's pick, rigatoni alla diavola. I know they are completely different dishes, and Im usually a white-sauce kind of girl, but there was something about that bold, spicy flavor that just HIT THE SPOT. And dessert... The vanilla soft serve gelato and the warm rasberry tart together were the perfect combination -- creamy, warm, fruity, and just the right way to finish our lucky dinner. Lilia was absolutely worth the wait and definitely lived up to the hype. Another Brooklyn spot checked off the list -- and one I'd happily go back to.

For starters: the bread was good (hard to mess up though?) the squash was fine, and I wish the tomatoes had been heirloom or thicker cut. For mains: the sheep's milk agnolotti was not for me, it was oddly sweet, I'm honestly not sure why it's so popular. The rigatoni and gnocchi were very good - the rigatoni was perfectly al dente paired with good flavor and the texture of the gnocchi was perfect. Highly recommend ordering these. Dessert: they definitely don't skimp on the dessert, we each got our own but the gelato options were definitely shareable. They also had amaro options which I always appreciate but didn't get this time. The space was a little cramped indoors though that didn't bother me as much as the temperature. It was a really hot summer day and I don't think they had air conditioning? Or if they did it definitely was not at an ideal temperature as I didn't feel like there was much air circulation.
