I used to come to Mom's Kitchen & Bar pretty often when I lived in NYC, so coming back to New York…read moreand making this one of my stops was a must. Thankfully, the food was still really good! I got the buffalo mac & cheese balls, veggie burger and a passion fruit margarita with a coronita during happy hour. The margarita was GOOD lol and definitely did its job . The buffalo mac & cheese balls were probably my favorite, especially with the Sriracha ranch. My boyfriend loved them too and ended up getting the burger as well, but swapped the veggie patty for beef because he liked all the toppings and condiments. Our server was really friendly and service was good overall. My only complaint was cleanliness. The table we sat at was sticky and I noticed quite a few other tables that looked like they needed a more thorough wipe down. The restrooms could've been cleaner too. Still glad I came back though. The food definitely didn't disappoint!

With about a million places to get breakfast in NYC, the best compliment I can give is that I would absolutely come back here again.

We got to have our dinner in the dining room which was so much nicer and peaceful than the bar area, which I also wouldn't have minded but it was too noisy for a relaxed evening. Service was wonderful and very accommodating! I also loved all the monkey decor, it really tickled me every time we spotted a different monkey haha. We started with the truffle monkey bread! It was so good! For my entree, I got the miso cod, buttery mashed potatoes and a coconut margarita which were all amazing! We even got a complimentary dessert for our anniversary which was a salted caramel ice cream with a candle! We also ordered a banana split for fun and we loved it. I would definitely come back even in the bar dining area because I want to try everyone else's food recommendations! 10/10!

Maison Pickle AGAIN?! YEEEEAAAAAA WE BACK!!…read more First time was for pleasure. This time we came for business... which somehow turned out to be even more pleasure than the first time. For those who don't know, I film a food show on Instagram called #YummiesOnGummies, where I take a bunch of edibles and go enjoy some serious culinary delights. And let me tell you, Maison Pickle understood the assignment. Second time at the big MP, and we started with the pull-apart bread -- the herb & butter edition. OHHHHH MY GOD. It's actually better than the honey butter one, and that's saying A LOT because the honey butter had me moist. And I gotta shout out the manager Aaron and our incredible server Sarah. When I tell you they made me feel like my name was on the front of the restaurant, THEY SHOWED THE FUCK OUT. Hospitality at its finest. Made us feel right at home. Now... BACK TO THE FOOD. That MAC & CHEESE?! I need that shit again RIGHT NOW. So creamy. So much flavor. So silky. So cheesy. Please bless the chef's hands because somebody in that kitchen is doing God's work. Then came the Double Patty Melt, which is EASILY one of the best burgers I've ever had. That burger was so fire I raw-dogged it. No ketchup. No au jus. No distractions. Just meat, cheese, bun and BLISS. Then we got into the Chick Toast and that fried chicken was SO DAMN GOOD. I wish I could travel back in time, find the first slave who ever fried that bird and tell him, "Look what you've sparked!! Your suffering was not unnoticed." The brioche French toast, crispy bacon and house-made syrup had me questioning my entire life. Like... what the fuck took me so long to try this?! WHY DID I WAIT?! Then came this banging-ass French onion dip sandwich that just hugged my tongue the second I bit into it. And because apparently we hadn't done enough damage, we finished the day with a 24-layer Pumpkin Spice Latte Carrot Cake that had me feeling like a blonde-haired white woman named Lisa on a crisp autumn morning. I shall be back to Maison Pickle. And yes, I shall post yet ANOTHER review Because I LOVE that place

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.

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.

Customer traffic has been particularly heavy in the basement of Grand Central this summer and all the food establishments have been equally busy. I've been to Melba's several times and I still rec the chicken sandwich without sauce and chipotle mayo, but please caution them not to put too much sauce on the sandwich. They can become a bit heavy handed with the sauces. I tried the catfish sandwich too and it was good, but not as filling. I had it with the same sauces. I could eat the catfish sandwich easily for breakfast. The size of the sandwiches seems to vary at times, but they are holding serve at Melba's. 4 stars!
