Sweet Chick 32 E. 16th. St. New York, NY 10003 Chicken Sausage, Egg and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuit Classic Chicken & Waffles Located in Union Square is a southern style chain restaurant directly across the street from Union Square Park. Let's explore a couple of the brunch menu items. Chicken Sausage, Egg and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuit: This breakfast sandwich was topped with melted cheddar cheese, an egg white, and a sausage patty on a gigantic biscuit sprinkled with sea salt. The cheddar could have been melted a bit more, but this sandwich was overall decent Classic Chicken & Waffles: This signature brunch plate includes three boneless chicken tenders along with honey and berry butter. There is more than a fair share of powdered sugar. The tenders are crunchy on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside. Don't be shy with the syrup; the more the merrier. This was definitely my favorite meal of the two. On a positive note, complimentary water is provided. However, I couldn't purchase a frozen alcoholic beverage because they are always out of stock. A variety of apparel is available for purchase which includes sweatshirts, canvas bags, and kicks. Feel free to purchase apparel ranging from hats to sweatshirts. As a bonus, this chain restaurant has an enclosed indoor hallway which effectively keeps the cold air out during the chillier months. Although I couldn't get a frozen beverage, it was still a pretty decent brunch for the most part. #sweetchick #sweetchickunionsquare #unionsquare #classicchickenandwaffles #chickenandwaffles #buttermilkbiscuits #chickensausage #chickensausageeggandcheese read more

The simple fried chicken at Sweet Chick is always a solid option. It's a fast casual spot with some seats. There are a lot of take out orders so if you don't order ahead it might take 10-15 minutes for your order to arrive. Good quick option by Union Square! read more

This is at their Union Square location. It is set up like a regular fast-food joint, with order/pick up counter, and table seating. Not so big, but had enough seating. The staff at the ordering counter, Marcus, was welcoming and very helpful. Since it was my first time visiting, he gave me good advice and made sure I was happy with my order. We ordered The Original Chicken & Waffles, and Chicken & Fries, and a couple of their Daily Lemonades. I chose Peach Nectar Lemonade and Mango Nectar Lemonade, and the mango one had stronger flavor, and it tasted like made with real fruits. Chicken & Fries It comes with 2pc. bone-in or 3pc. boneless chicken. Marcus told me that 3pc is like chicken tenders, and I chose the 3pc thinking that it is easier to eat. I asked Marcus which sauce flavor is his favorite, and he said Maple Chipotle is the best. He also asked me if I wanted the sauce on the side for dipping, instead of the chicken being coated in it. He told me that is how he prefers, so I went with that recommendation. He was so helpful with my order, making sure I was taken care of and happy with what I was getting. The Maple Chipotle sauce was really delicious. Sweet with a nice kick to it. Chicken was tender and moist, juicy with nice crunchy exterior. I was happy to see the side of fries being the crinkle cut fries, reminded me of the good old days... They were soft, potato-y, and very tasty. My husband was excited for The Original Chicken & Waffles. He chose the sauce flavor and waffles, which was both available with additional cost. He went with Maple Chipotle flavor sauce and Bacon Cheddar Specialty Waffles. And we got this one with 2pc. bone-in pieces. The bone-in chicken pieces were definitely more flavorful. It had that deep, savory flavor that you can only get with the bone-in chicken. And they were super juicy delicious! I think the chicken does not need any extra flavor added, since it was tasty on its own. Same can be said for the waffles. The waffles were tasty on its own, so I don't think the sprinkles of bacon and cheese was not necessary. Their special butter, however, was amazing! It was Honey and Berry Butter, and that was super awesome! Our first trip to the Sweet Chick was a success! Thank you Marcus for making our visit easy and tasty. We enjoyed our orders, definitely bone-in chicken, and don't need additional fancy flavors... Or maybe get one side of Maple Chipotle sauce to dip in. Speaking of chicken, they offer Vegetarian Chicken too! So if you are in a mood for some fried chicken dishes that are kind of southern style for quick, try the Sweet Chick! read more

I was recommended this place and tried out the BBQ Sandwich. It had a LOT of BBQ sauce, which I wasn't a big fan of. I also had the biscuit and it was so good! It wasn't as salty as Popeyes, and came with a side of jam & butter. Definitely would go back to try another sandwich and fries. read more

Is it a trip to NY without stopping at Sweet Chick? I usually go to the locations in Brooklyn so this location was a bit more lowkey. The service was quick and honestly the food is just as phenomenal as the other locations. I got the Nashville hot chicken which pairs really well the sweetness of the waffle. Unfortunately, the frosé was WAYYY too sweet this day, I couldn't even finish it. read more

I've been to the location in Prospect Heights, but I didn't realize there was one near Union Square. My colleagues like ordering from there, so I decided to get a salad. I got their Sweet Chick salad with lemon pepper flavoring for the chicken. You can get it grilled or fried--I opted for fried. I also got their half iced tea and half lemonade (Arnold Palmer). The drink was refreshing. I really liked the salad. The avocado was really green, and the chicken was nicely fried. I also like the flavor of the crispy onions. The restaurant is small. I haven't dined in yet, but they have happy hour (one of the employees was trying to encourage us to try their HH drinks), so maybe one of these days, I'll partake in a HH drink in the restaurant. read more

I thought the chicken sandwich was good but not so good that I need to come back. There was a wait when we got there a few weeks ago but we were able to get a seat. Inside it was nice and friendly. The food came out quickly and the staff were friendly. It was a nice place but probably not worth going back again. read more

Out of all the locations I've been to, this one is probably the worst. It's more of an order, wait for your name to be called and clean up after yourself place. Menu is bit more limited at this location as well. Food is good. I had the lemon pepper chicken sandwich which was tasty but a little bit on the oily side. My wife had the vegetarian chicken tenders and she was supposed to get 4, only got 3. The "manager" saw 1 was missing and said, "I'll bring you the 4th piece." Thought it was odd but okay cool. She never brought us the 1 piece. Sat in the window for about 10 minutes before I decided to get up and get it myself. The other cashier said to her, "why didn't you get it?" The "manager" responded, "oh I don't know, I forgot..." while I'm standing there listening to her. Cool story bruh. The hush puppies are horrible. Microwaved balls of corn (menu says jalapeno cheddar, no cheddar, no jalapeno) They don't clean the tables whatsoever. I saw about 4 or 5 different parties between 2-4 people eat and leave and not 1 table was cleaned. I had to clean my own table just to sit at it because it was left dirty and disgusting. The bathroom had a sign out of order but the bathroom was functioning but they didn't have any toilet paper and there was a big fat roach in there as well. Stay away. Go to any other spot or order to go. read more

Lets start off by saying I love sweet chick. The food is amazing but abit expensive for chicken and waffles. My lunch was 32 with a lemonade which is also very tasty but crazy pricey. The vibe here is always good. The place is super clean and well lit. The music is always good sounds like they have a dj in there. This service is always on point. My lunch is always ready on time for pick up. And I never been disappointed today was my third time eating it my co workers say you got your fav again. read more

This was a late night bite that we had and for my first time, it did not meet my expectations. The carrot cake waffles (9/10) were the star of the show. My apple waffles came out very cold and slightly burned. The chicken was good (7/10). I would not come back to this location, it was extremely dirty as the tables were not being tended to as people left, the floor looked like it hadn't been swept all week, etc. We only stayed due to the high recommendation but guess we chose the wrong location to try for a first impression read more

Chicken was good, fries were nothing special. Pricey for 3 of us. My biggest complaint is $6 for a small cup of lemonade, when I asked for a refill they declined, they said refills for soda only. I asked if I could refill with sprite, lady asked did you pay for a soda. I said no I paid $6 for ice lemonade. I said ok thank you and threw my cup away. Then she said well you can get half a cup. It was just an odd experience all for refill, when you pay over $75. You would think they could spare a small refill. Just a bad customer experience left me not wanting to return read more

This was my second visit to Sweet Chick, my first visit was at the seat-down location, which has since closed, in California. My husband and I have been eager to return and recently got the chance when I purchased tickets to a Broadway play in NYC. While the food was good, this experience was definitely different than the first. This location is tiny, which is understandable since it is located in NYC. However, the restaurant being so small should make it easier to keep clean, but that isn't the case. The tables were not wiped down when patrons left. The tables are right on top of each other too, so you basically are dining with whoever is sitting next to you. Also, again with the space being so small, there were groups of young, loud kids loitering, taking seats away from paying customers. The food was good, but I could hardly enjoy it due to the conditions in the restaurant. It is also overpriced. The staff was nice, I guess, a bit distracted by nice. In the future, I will look to visit another location, bigger and cleaner! read more

Today i tried this place out and got the nashville chicken tenders. To say they were absolutely disgusting is putting it mildly. It tasted like pure salt, while the heat was fine and the inside was tender, that ridiculously salty as heck seasoning made the dish completely inedible. I had one tender, then ate the fries and threw the other tenders in the garbage, Summary: Waste of time and calories and money, food is oversalted and gross. Avoid it. read more

My friend and I came because we heard their chicken and waffles were spectacular and it did not disappoint. Everything tasted amazing. They have the best fried chicken that I've ever had to date (and trust me, I've had lots of fried chicken ). The limited edition Carrot Cake Waffles were fantastic as well. The flavors were all there without it being overly sweet. The 3 piece bucket was awesome as well, with fairly large wings that were fried and seasoned perfectly. The drinks were both PHENOMENAL. We had the Strawberry Frozen and the Whiskey Peach Can, and both were just so delicious and refreshing. The only thing we weren't a big fan of was the butter included for the biscuit. It was a bit too sweet. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't like the way it paired with the food. Portions and pricing was great, especially considering we were in the Union Square area of Manhattan. One thing to note is that this location doesn't have waiter service; you order and choose your seating, and then pick up your order when they call your name. Nothing wrong with this approach, but we had expected to have a waiter. Regardless of this, the customer service was amazing. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and worked diligently. read more

Food was okay, but very pricy. Was expecting a tad bit more on freshness and flavor. Ordered chicken biscuit, chicken sandwich, fries, mac and a lemonade. Biscuit was okay, very dense. The chicken sandwich was just okay. Mac & cheese had a good topping on it, and a lot of cheese. Different from what I was expecting, but pretty good. Lemonade was okay, very sweet. Team was nice and the place was clean. Shout out to them for that. I'll give them another try, saw some blueberry waffles that look good. read more

Sweet Chick has always been in my mind as a modern NYC staple. Where do you want chicken and waffles? Sweet Chick. This restaurant has expanded to a few locations and I saw they had one near my workplace. Now I'm a big Nashville Hot Chicken fan so I went to see if they made a mean sandwich. The chicken is superb - probably the best texture I've encountered. The bun could be more buttery, but I could gnaw on butter raw so my preferences are a bit skewed. I'm used to a flavorful pickle with a hint of sweetness and a flavor profile with more depth of spice vs the red hot packets given in addition to the sandwich. They included some fries which were absolutely top tier so I'd definitely go back, but maybe bring my own butter next time. Overall the service was good considering there were a few people in line and the space is cute. I'm still searching for the nashville hot chicken that seizes my heart but this gets pretty close. read more

The food is amazing, we had the chicken sandwich with their home made ranch dressing. The dressing alone, i can put it on everything they have on the menu. The fried chicken is tender, juicy, moist, crispy, is like i was in fried chicken heaven. The remoulade dressing, was not to my liking and while i am not a ranch dressing lover. That has now changed, thanks to Sweet Chick! The hush puppies were also well fried and when you dip them on the ranch dressing, well thats just at another level in flavor town. I am ok with the waffle, i think its just a filler, hands down the chicken is first class, all the way ! I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu, without a doubt i will be back. I feel sorry for the rest of the fried chicken places, cause Sweet Chick, is definitely going to give them a run for the money. I love popeye chicken sandwich and Chick filet but moving forward thingns wont be the same. Now my gripe, one single bathrooms. Any time you eat fried chicken, you all know you have to wash your hands, the wait and the line for the bathroom was ridiculous. Should have a sink just for hand washing available. The layout of the tables is not conducive to the space. The 1 garbage station they have is not set properly. If you have a tray full of garbage, you should have to touch your garbage to mKe it fit in the round hole at the countertop. Instead, the tray should be feed right into the bin, so just when i didnt want to touch my garbage, i had to. No other way to do it. They dont have enough staff to clean the tables, i had to clean my table. Lots of sticky stuff like maple syrup and ketchup all over the table. Dont get me wrong the staff is very nice but not enough staff to clean. Cool music and the vibes are nice, will come back for the food, but the clean up needs reworking so its less of a mess. read more

Sweet Chick - 3 piece fried chicken with waffles - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped in for an early lunch. This is a very small restaurant, with very limited seating. However, since it was just after 11AM, it was empty. I ordered Tenders & Fries. Price is a little high, but it's just a few steps off of Union Square, so bargains shouldn't be expected. The food took a bit longer than it could have, considering it was an easy order. But I did see they were also preparing a large to-go order at the same time, so that could explain the prep time. When I got my food, I was pleasantly surprised. The Tenders were huge, and hot too. They were soft and tender. Delicious. The Fries order was humongous. Delicious. Worth the money spent. The place was spotlessly clean, maybe because it was early and empty, but spotless. The bathroom was also very clean. I will return next time I'm in the area. read more

This is totally a fancy fast food joint where the staff are friendly and patient - totally kid friendly but the way!!

Sweet Chick just opened their 5th NYC location, the 1st one as a fast casual setup rather than the full service situation they have at the previous ones. It's pretty much the same great menu of fried chicken in all forms (bone-in, tenders, sandwiches), along with waffles, great fries and a number of sides. New to this location is an amazing Maple Soft Serve and mini pies that come in easy to-go containers. This is a perfect new quick lunch/dinner option in the Union Square area and hopefully the first of many more of this style of Sweet Chick. read more

It is a shame. I have to leave this terrible review because the food is actually decent. But two things have made me completely changed my mind and say that I will never go here again and no one else should either. 1. I was halfway through my side of grits when I felt something stabbed me in the mouth. I pulled out a 1 inch long piece of what I believe to be either glass or plastic that had cut the inside of my mouth. I took photos of this object and called the store immediately. The girl on the phone said that she would refund me. I just went to look and she did not refund the complete order, only that one item. This is the kind of thing where I could've been that person that sued the store for this. Customer service is a -complete- refund. And a very long talk with the staff in the back about how they are not being careful about their food prep. And I am saying this is someone who worked in food service for a lot of years. Also, I emailed the photos and got no reply. Total lack of concern. 2. When I went to purchase my food, I saw there was an additional dollar charge for a fee. When I asked what the fee was, the girl just pointed to a little tiny sticker by the register. That said there is now going to be an operational fee on every transaction. So they're not raising their prices. They're just throwing a fee at you for no reason. I'm sorry eat that cost yourself. Don't force that onto your customers. That's another reason why this place will never get my business again. They're clearly shady at this location. I will be going to every other location, but only if their management contacts me and refunds the complete amount of my order after getting the sharp object in my food. read more

I've had Sweet Chick on my list for years and when I heard they opened a Manhattan location I was thrilled. We came on a Saturday afternoon after exploring the Holiday Market. Thankfully there were seats available (there was 6 of us). I decided to order the classic chicken and waffles. The rest of the group ordered salads and chicken biscuit sandwiches. We waited about 10-15 mins for our orders. The chicken and waffles hit the spot. They even provided regular butter and berry butter! Perfect combo of sweet and salty. I also had ordered a lemonade. Probably would have just stuck with water next time in regards to beverage cause the lemonade was a bit too tart for my taste. read more

I visited this establishment to try the Carrot Cake Waffles since they are a limited time item on the menu until the end of March. The Carrot Cakes Waffles are delicious and the Fried Chicken complimented the waffles well. I enjoyed my meal and I hardly needed any syrup since the waffles are amazing. Lloyd's Carrot Cake is definitely doing their thing partnering up with Sweet Chick. The cashier was very friendly. The establishment was very busy since it was a nice day in Union Square. I also like the selection of music that plays in the restaurant. It creates a nice vibe. I enjoyed my meal and the lemonade was very tasty. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Loved the super casual, relaxed atmosphere and especially the friendly and helpful employees. That aside it was fairly dim in the restaurant and with it getting dark at like 5pm nowadays would've loved just a little more light but I suppose that might just be the vibe of the chain. The jalapeño hush puppies were the best of the menu wow. For seven dollars I really wish they were bigger or there were more but flavor wise, paired with the remoulade sauce, so good. I was worried they'd be grainy because I was told they were made of cornmeal but that was not the case at all. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Touch of jalapeño flavor, not too much not too little. Mac and cheese was okay. I can't quite place what it reminded me of but if you imagine any white shell pasta it's very similar. Fries I really did not like. They got cold instantly and felt like eating cardboard. Also just bland, could've done with some more salt. My friend on the other hand said she liked them but they were a hard no for me. Nashville hot fish looked so unassuming initially. I totally expected it to be red or something so when it looked like any ol regular fish I was like did they get my order wrong. But upon taking a bite I could taste the spice and it was definitely there. This was good for sure! The fish was thick and there was alot in it. It was very messy but thankfully there's a bathroom. About the bathroom, patrons here are gross as hell and clearly no one cleans up after themselves because the first time I went in to wash my hands there was urine all over the toilet. Second time I went in I overhear someone say "you forgot to flush the toilet" to their friend and lo and behold pee everywhere. Bro what???? Really gross lol. Monday through Friday from 4-7 they have happy hour and sell two sliders of fish or chicken for 8 bucks. There's drinks too but idk what kind so that's something to check out if you're into it. Loved that their menu was extremely vegetarian friendly and will absolutely be back to try a bunch of other things in the future! read more

Chicken & waffles are preferred but I recommend the Caesar salad they have. The mac & cheese is amazing with Brussel sprouts. Great seating.

Just flew under my radar. In this "war" of chicken sandwiches this place (and apparently a chain) definitely has the rights to brag . Excellent Nashville HOT (fair not that hot...) sandwich, well portioned and fresh. Great and very generous loaded fries . Hard to decide among the many good ones But if you around one it's a very good bet. read more

You don't often get a vegetarian fried chicken sandwich, so I so appreciate how Sweet Chick has a veggie option for nearly every menu option. I tried the vegetarian chicken biscuit and it was the perfect blend of salty and sweet. The chicken was crispy and wasn't coated in too much batter, and the biscuit was so flaky & delicious. There was also an option for impossible sausage if you're looking for other vegetarian breakfast sandwiches, but I don't think any of the options are fully vegan. The biscuit had maybe a bit too much honey butter on it making the sandwich overall feel pretty heavy; but hey, I didn't come here for a healthy meal. The interior of this location is very casual, you order and pay before you're seated. It's also right across the street from Union Sq park so it's convenient to grab food here and eat outside on a nice day! read more
