    Probably one of the best quesos in NYC. Fries are not to be missed: they're plentiful and deeply golden brown and giving hand cut vibes. The spicy chicken sandwich is just as delightfully crispy, hot and tender as the one in Williamsburg. The honey butter that comes with the biscuits is fantastic. Everything came out quickly on a busy Friday night. In a city with incredible bar food this is top tier.

    It was quiet on a Friday night in here, which was kinda nice compared to the original Williamsburg spot....but I think the energy was lacking because of that. The food was fine, I don't know why I don't think it was as good as the Williamsburg one, but just didn't seem to be. The chips with queso were nice!

    This cute little corner bar was giving Miami Vice vibes in the LES like you're back in the 70s - 80s! The bartenders were attentive, the food came quick the nachos were a little blah not to our liking (and the server was glad to take it off) however the pozole was delicious very tasty. The happy hour was decent and I only had one drink with a good pour.

    I'm so happy the Commodore opened a location in the East Village! Now I don't have to go to Brooklyn for amazing fried chicken. Luckily the vibe and food at this location is the same as the original. The fried chicken plate and the Commodore (piña colors) is a must. The plate includes three perfectly cooked thighs and biscuits with addicting honey butter. Happy hour on weekdays and brunch on weekends makes Commodore II a good spot any day of the week.

    You get your moneys worth!

    Hidden Gem in the LES. If you like cheap drinks and great fried chicken + a DJ spinning kewl tunes in a retro looking old school NY place this is the ticket. From outside looks kinda Cyber Punk. Inside a bit of Miami Beach Fried Chicken platter is HUGE! Door to kitchen is wide open so you can see them slapping the orders together. In my experience every place that has an open kitchen (nothing to hide) always has good food and this is no exception! My buddy said it was the BEST fried chicken he ever had! Real NYC vibe here from the staff. Place was packed, two clean unisex bathrooms

    bar is cute, staff is friendly. food is good. not sure what state they are representing but it's a pretty southern selection. only reason why I mentioned that is because the mac and cheese. it came out like a brick and wasn't creamy at all. other than that the food was good. We tried the biscuits, kale salad, mexican shrimp cocktail, mac and cheese and fried chicken sandwich. The fried chicken sandwich is huge and is really tasty. this was really really good and filling. it was a friend chicken breast that wasn't dry and had cole slaw and pickles on top. I didn't try the bread but it looked soft. The kale salad was good and the croutons were really buttery and added an element of flavor. They didn't offer protein add ons which I wish they did as to why I ordered the shrimp cocktail. The biscuits-so good with a side of honey butter. I also ordered the commodore drink which was okay. Others liked it, in just not a fan of sweet drinks, and the tequila shooter is good. The only reason why I gave 4 stars was because I didn't love the mac and cheese or the mexican shrimp cocktail. I already commented on the mac and cheese, but the shrimp cocktail was a large class of cocktail sauce and the shrimp were floating inside. it was way too saucy for me. I wanted shrimp on the rim just plain with the sauce to dip to my liking. it was a little overwhelming.

    The place is colorful inside. The servers very nice. And my burger was delicious. I'll definitely be back...

    Commodore II has a sleek ambiance. It's like being in a Michael Mann movie. The fish tank in the wall is a great detail. The place seems to be inspired by a Miami Tiki bar. I highly recommend the cocktails and fried chicken. I'm a fan and It'll be on my list of favorites.

    Had SUCH an amazing experience at Bird Dog the other weekend - some of the best food and service…read moreI've had in the Village in a while! Our server (I think Brian?) was super attentive and charismatic, and walked us through the menu right away. The server had the whole floor and the place is VERY tiny, but I never felt like the service was fake. Wine and beer only (to alert my cocktail lovers), but luckily for us we were in the middle of dry January so although I very much appreciate a cocktail it wasn't too much of a problem. What really shines is the food - just WOW! We were a table of three so we each did the Three-Course meal and shared: Biscuits to start: AMAZING! First Course: Burrata, Pimento Cheese, and Collard Greens Second Course: Ravioli, Gnocchi, and Tagliatelle. Special shoutout to the Reuben-flavored ravioli and Chicken & Dumpling flavored Gnocchi Third Course: Nashville Fried Chicken, and Catfish Everything tasted so so so good and original - I've quite literally never had anything like any of the pastas we tried. The one tiny critique I have is that I don't think a slice of white bread under the fried chicken was necessary. I know it's tradition but I didn't need it with all of the other amazing amazing food we had. All of the desserts sounded absolutely amazing but unfortunately we were all so full and had a show to run to, but I will 100% be back hopefully multiple times and will know for the next time to save some room. Overall 10/10. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as the entire space is maybe 15 seats total!

    Been wanting to try this southern pasta spot in WV for a while and finally had the chance to stop…read moreby for dinner. It's an interesting spot, split seating into two locations but single kitchen. Both seating spots are pretty small/intimate, so expect to get to know your neighbors! We did the pre fixe, so started with the sweet potatoes and hush puppies. The honey butter that comes with the hush puppies was the highlight, so delish but rich. Next the pastas: star of the night! We got the Miso Carbonara Tagliatelle and the Lamb Ragu Orecchiette. Miso carbonara was rich and scrumptious, umami bomb. I'm normally a cream sauce girlie over red, but the lamb ragu stole the show. Super tender chunks of lamb and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Incredible pastas! The mains were okay, pork chop was a bit too salty and the fried catfish was really underwhelming. Service is good, very friendly and efficient. Decor inside is cute too. I think I misordered, if i came back would def stick to the pastas and maybe try the fried chicken. They apparently have a pasta happy hour with half-off pastas, would come back for that.

I was warmly greeted right away,…read moreand the staff took the time to actually chat while my table was being prepared, which made the whole experience feel genuine and welcoming. The food is the real spotlight. The smothered chicken with collard greens and mac and cheese is a must. The yams were perfectly done but definitely on the sweeter side, so just something to keep in mind. I already know I need to come back to try the fried chicken next time. If you are looking for a traditional Southern brunch at a true neighborhood staple, this is the place. I only wish I lived closer.

    My friend and I visited Melba's for her birthday and it was amazing!…read more Melba's menu serves up Southern comfort food classics like fried chicken and waffles, catfish, short ribs, collard greens, mac and cheese, candied yams and sauteed spinach. The restaurant's website says "dining at Melba's is like coming home for dinner, whenever you're away from home." We ordered 2 "comfortizers:" Melba's Hand Cut Sweet Potato Wedges and Country Catfish Strips. My friend ordered Melba's Signature Chicken & Eggnog Waffle for her main dish and I got the Signature Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich. We also ordered a side of Creamy Tres Mac & Cheese and Homemade Lemonade. The food was delicious. The chicken was tender, succulent, and juicy. I really really loved the chicken sandwich. I wish I had more to eat when I was done. Our waitress, Tatiana was friendly, helpful and answered all our questions. She even brought my friend a free piece of red velvet cake for her birthday, which was extra sweet. Melba's atmosphere is unassuming as one feels welcomed and at home. We can't wait to go back!
