I recently tried Brine for the 1st time. I had chicken, coleslaw, Grilled sweet potatoes, broccoli & salad & it was all amazing!

Great option if you want roasted chicken for dinner. The portion size is HUGE. Ordered the 1/4 chicken thigh with beets and tzatziki and coleslaw. The only thing they could do better is package the food. A piece of bread was under the chicken and soaked it beet/coleslaw juice. Have enough chicken for lunch tomorrow. Will order again and maybe try different sides! read more

The food and the service are amazing. There was an issue with the kiosk, and the manager made our order anyway. We took care of everything once the system came back online. They just wanted to ensure we got to enjoy their amazing food! read more

I ordered the chicken sandwich with a side of farro a few nights ago. It was all good, but the farro they have me was the tiniest scoop. Other than that, the sandwich was great. read more

The food is good, the price is good, the portion is HUGE, the staff is so friendly and they make your food super quick. I go here all the time on my lunch break. The atmosphere is so chill. I really like this place and recommend everyone check it out. Keep in mind tho they do not take cash, only card :) read more

Brine is located in the Chelsea, right across from Google headquarters! Its hard to miss with its large sign, bright lights and minimalistic interior that will attract any bypassers. You can order everything on the kiosk or get takeout, very similar to places like sweetgreen and honeygrow. You can order chicken entrees such as the signature thigh 1/4 and spatchcock grilled chicken 1/2. There are other options including salads and sandwiches for those who do not prefer just chicken. Each chicken entree also comes with 2 sides. I ordered the spatchcock grilled chicken 1/2 along with the sides of charred broccoli and grilled sweet potatoes. The food was gorgeous when brought out on a nice tray, and looked exactly like it did on the kiosk pictures. The chili and garlic sauce on the chicken was so delicious with a hint of spiciness to it. The chicken itself was so juicy and tender. I've never tasted chicken like this, as the meat was so tender and slipped right off the bone. You don't have to worry about finding dry chicken here! The portion was deinitely very large for the half chicken. The broccoli had some nice cheese melted on top as well which added a layer of creaminess to them. And the sweet potatoes were very nicely grilled with a nice sauce on it. They also put a piece of bread under the chicken as well, but I didn't eat it. There was so much food, that I ended up taking the rest to-go for lunch tomorrow! Overall, definitely a solid restaurant with a selection of delicious comfort (but healthy) food. The price is fair for the portion size of the food! I will definitely be back if I am ever in this area of Chelsea again! read more

I ate Brine before Pride on Sunday. Upon walking in, my friends and I were greeted by an employee who said "Happy Pride" and showed us right to the ordering stations. She was very friendly. I ordered the chicken sandwich. The chicken and coke slaw on it were delicious. However, the bread was a little over cooked and too crunchy and black. I loved the fries though. The restaurant also has spicy and non-spicy versions of their sauces. I would definitely go back but maybe order another dish. read more

How did I not know about this place? It's delicious! I was walking from Chelsea area up to Midtown and found this place on Yelp the night before, so it was the perfect time to try it. Was greeted by a really friendly employee who explained the menu. This is a chicken place and, as the name implies, all their chicken is brined for 24 hours prior to grilling over an open fire. I went with the half chicken meal as I wanted to try both the dark meat and the white meat. The plate looked beautiful coming out and smelled amazing. I started with the thigh part of the chicken and it was so tender and juicy. The brining process really paid off here. The sauce on the chicken was the best part of the whole thing. Be aware though, that the sauce packs a punch and is much spicier than I would have expected as the default sauce to use on their chicken. My dining companion isn't as good at handling spicy food and she was struggling a bit, but loved the chicken so much she powered through the heat. The sides they have all seemed interesting and mostly healthy. I really enjoyed the marinated tomato and hearts of palm salad as it was a nice cool acidic bite to offset the rich spiciness of the chicken. The farro salad was also tasty. I sampled the roasted beets with goat cheese tzatziki as well as the brown sugar and lemon carrots and both were winners too. They're all nice accompaniments to the chicken. The only thing I didn't like (and why this is a four-star review instead of five) is that the white meat parts of my half chicken were pretty dry. For a place that brines chicken and has a slogan that states "we are the revolution against dry chicken", it was sort of ironic that the white meat was so dry. It was still tasty because they could put that sauce on anything and it'd be delicious, but I definitely preferred the dark meat. So come here for the quarter chicken and all their sides. If you need more chicken, just order another quarter chicken by itself instead of going for the half chicken. I'm definitely coming back here. This is the perfect office lunch sort of place. read more

As a food blogger on IG, I'm always looking for trendy restaurants in both NJ and NY. As I was browsing one night, I came across Brine on another bloggers feed and made a mental note to try them out myself. Luckily, the other night I was in the city for a food tasting and since I had extra time I made a visit to Brine. Parking is a pain in a butt but thankfully I did find a parking close to the restaurant. Once I walked in, I was immediately welcomed by a young lady and she gave me a brief introduction of the ordering process. They have a kiosk close to the door where you make your selections and pay either with cash or card. After paying, you can grab your drink (if you ordered it) and wait for one of the staff members to bring you your order. I waited about 15 minutes for my order and since I was dining in, the young lady brought my order to my table. I had their half chicken with beet salad and french fries. The chicken itself was delicious, tender, juicy, flavorful, and the sauce they used was perfect! They also have additional sauces at the counter and the one I chose to drown my chicken in was a jalapeño, cilantro, and buttermilk sauce which I enjoyed. The sauce was creamy and had a nice kick to it. On a side note, the beet salad was probably my least favorite side and didn't really eat more than one bite. I loved their french fries it was crinkle, crispy, and just flat out amazing. Although the food was delicious, the price wasn't and cost me $20 for a meal. Honestly, I didn't expect to pay that much for a meal that should've been less than that but then again it is NYC so everything is pricey here. read more

Let us use the bathroom and the cashier was super nice! The place is super clean and so was the bathroom!

#I'm amazed at how nice and accommodating the people are here. I placed on order for pickup, but was going to eat it there because I wanted to try every one of their #sauces from the sauce bar. They offered to put it on a real plate and give me silverware. I declined. But then I noticed they gave me the wrong side. They were very apologetic and then offered to replate everything on a real plate, which looked fancy. All the #sauces were really good. The staff came to greet and talk to a really old lady that came in. I'm not even sure she was there to eat. #Really nice people. read more

Brine - Quarter chicken with broccoli and beets - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

There are number of fast casual places popping up many of which do chicken with two sides. This places gimmick or differentiators is they brine there chicken. Any kosher chicken comes brined and also common in southern cooking. Though do not state style the sides and sauces have a med feel to them with a little southern and Latin thrown in for sort of a global fusion thing. Chicken comes with a sauce but have option to add one of five provides sauces yourself. Other chicken places can order chicken prepared in the sauce which means flavors are atleast somewhat basted in. The chicken was moist and tasty as advertised. Likely could do without any added sauce especially if eating some of the skin. Chicken was meaty without seeming like one of those steroid chicken. There were plenty of sides with everything from French fries to salads to things in between like charred broccoli with cheese. The two sides I had were good tasting and a decent portion. Though fast casual got served food in real bowl/plate and got metal utensils. Cup for fountain drink was plastic . Have a few beers but no tv so not place to come to watch a game. They also do not have wings which likely would be good especially paired with French fries as a cheaper combo option. read more

Brine - 1/4 Signature Chicken Thigh with broccoli and tomato salad - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

A friend and I ordered in from here for dinner on a Sunday night. The food came pretty quickly and was a decent amount. We ordered two half chicken dishes with three sides: french fries, one of their side salads with beets, and broccoli. The sides were all great--though I have to say my favorite was probably the beet salad. The chicken was also excellent and was so tender and flavorful. With the sauce added--one was the smoky pepper garlic sauce and the other was their pepper and cilantro sauce--it elevated the meal even higher. Overall, this place serves up some great-tasting, healthy food and is reasonably well-priced for the area. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a casual bite in the area. read more

Some of the best fast casual chicken you will ever have. The amount of flavor that's packed into their chicken is ridiculous! It has this smoky and tangy flavor. I've tried the coconut rice with peas and carrots side as well as the farro salad and both were really good! Don't even get me started on their sauces. They have a bunch of great options for sauce on the side. Anything from a jalapeño cilantro, honey mustard, buttermilk based sauce, a spicy one, etc. they're all so good! Service is always great here as well. They create a very welcoming environment. It's dangerous that I live so close to this place since I'll want to go all the time! read more

Came here for lunch. Can smell the taste of chicken in the store. There is a machine to order the meal or talk to cashier at the counter. Then, the chicken brought out fast. It was grilled and taste healthy. Brown rice and cole slaw taste natural and different from fast food place. Taste delicious and not too oily. Employees were nice for asking if we need anything. Before we eat, they provide wet napkin to clean our hands. Such a great customer service. Will come back soon read more

Brine - 1/2 Spatchcock Grilled Chicken Combo with 2 Sides - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

If you like chicken this is the place to go. There are so many places to get chicken, but they make it just right at Brine. It's juicy and delicious. Also, the sauces are superb. The honey mustard is my favorite. I asked if they sold it in bottles -- they sent me home with a big take-out container. I'm rarely in Manhattan, but I can't wait to get back and go to Brine again. The staff is super friendly and cool and hospitable. It all makes for a great casual dining experience. read more

Guys, I don't say this lightly but I just MIGHT have found the best chicken spot in the city (minus fried chicken, of course, since that's a completely different category). But I came to Brine a few weeks ago to check out what they had to offer and their chicken was P H E N O M E N A L! Even after taking photos for a good 20-25 minutes, the chicken was still incredibly warm, tender and extremely flavorful. What really stood out to me was the fact that even the "naked" chicken with the sauce on the side was seasoned so well . My friend actually preferred this one because this way, he had the ability to make it even more flavorful with the sauce if he chose to do so or try one of the many other sauces Brine had to offer. Psst: they have SO many! My personal favorite was their Signature Thigh Quarter that is smothered with their signature chili and honey-garlic sauce. Seriously, that sauce is amazing. I tried a number of their sauces but I think their signature is the best (I mean, that's why it's their signature, right?!) I also love the fact that you can customize it with all of the various sides and salads that they have available. They have so many choices so you can really mix and match to find the perfect combo! Our favorite salad out of the three options is definitely the Honey Roasted Garlic Caesar. It's a nice twist to the traditional Caesar salad with some honey roasted garlic confit mixed in. Honestly, that roasted garlic is fantastic. Overall, this place is such a great spot for some amazing chicken. My friend and I thought that this would be the perfect lunch spot since it's located in a busy NYC area plus the prices are incredibly reasonable (especially for NYC). The service is also top-notch! read more

The yummiest brine chicken!! I've been coming here for 2 years and I kept telling people that this place is a GEM the chicken is very well seasoned and the meat is moist. Portion is big and the side dishes are not yo basic side dishes. Lowkey wants to keep this place a secret but please support them cause they deserved all the love. read more

Delightful self serve in Chelsea. I like how the menu is simple and to the point. The brine chicken thigh was great but a bit too salty for my taste. The sauce was great though - just enough kick! The sides stole this meal's show- the charred broccoli and tomato with hearts of Palm were great! Perhaps this isn't an everyday restaurant but definitely a place off W14 to get a reasonably priced protein based meal. read more

I came to Brine because I was looking to try something new, and I'm really happy I did! The sauce on the chicken was insanely good, fries were crispy and fresh, and the Caesar salad was a welcome bit of green on my plate. Everyone was super fast, attentive, and helpful! Only giving 4 stars because the skin on my chicken wasn't crispy, which would've made this over the top delicious! I am wondering if it may have been just because I was the only person in the restaurant at the time. Would definitely recommend! read more

Brine - Quarter 1/4 Signature Chicken Thigh, Honey Roasted Garlic Caesar Mini Salad, French Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

If you're advertising "fire-grilled chicken", you're pretty much guaranteeing I'm gonna be in the building. I got the half-chicken meal with coconut rice w/ peas. The chicken was nicely cooked, moist, and not dry at all. I almost wanna say I was surprised because most restaurants, even ones that specialize in chicken, tend to over cook and leave me with a dry breast. Wait, that sounds weird. I assure you I'm talking about chicken. My goodies are perfectly succulent. The price point ($17) was a lil high but the meal is a large portion. It was high enough, however, that I would probably explore other options if I was in the area again before returning. But the fact that they have IPA on tap might be enough to lure me back. read more

Brine - 1/2 Spatchcock Grilled Chicken with Coconut Rice and Peas - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

I've been walking by this place for a while and decided to finally give it a chance! I loved the ordering experience, really streamlined and low-contact, which is useful in the pandemic era but also nice for people (like me) who don't like social interaction much. The person behind the counter was really nice, offering to help me with the menu because I couldn't see very well with my glasses fogged up. The menu was pretty expansive, so I may update if I do back and try some of the more interesting sounding sides. This time, I got the hot tenders with fries, and. I really wanted to like it, but I was pretty disappointed. The tenders themselves were tiny and it felt like so few--if I hadn't gotten the fries as well it would have felt like nowhere near enough food. The tenders themselves were fine, though I found the breading itself a little dry and the spice blend a little overpowering. I think the best of the dipping sauces ended up being the one it came with, but I really liked the other two I ordered as well. I wish one of them meshed well with the fries as well, but none of the sauces felt fry-appropriate in taste or consistency. And then I passed on the bread entirely, it would have been cool to be able to switch that for a vegetable of some sort or cole slaw. The employee there was really really nice not just to me, but to the rest of the customers who came in while I was there. His energy makes me consider giving Brine another try! read more

saw the place while walking by. Clean place, food is AWESOME, and the crew working here is super friendly. Very excited to have it in the neighborhood! The salad looked so good and fresh I took a pic to show off to my friend. read more

Brine - Greek Village Salad + Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

Awful experience here the other night. I'd like to start by saying the young woman who helped me was really nice, the problem is more with management. Firstly, I got the sandwich. It was nothing special at all. I don't understand the hype. What the real problem was, though, were several big bones in the pulled chicken itself. When I bit into the first bone, it was disgusting, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and continued. Not long after, I bit a second and accidentally swallowed it. I mentioned this to the nearest employee and she didn't really react, which I thought strange. Normally someone would offer a replacement. Nope. I decided to continue because I was hungry. Then a third, larger bone. At this point I was nearly done, and I told who I thought was a manager. He was indignant, saying that this is what happens when you pull chicken in-house. Well, that's odd, because I've eaten pulled chicken at hundreds of better barbecue joints and never bit a single bone. You must be doing it wrong. To follow up, he said he couldn't do anything because I had already eaten. He offered half off my next visit, which is pointless because I'm never coming back. To not offer a refund was pretty surprising, but it's clear that these people don't really know how to run a business or make chicken. If you want to eat chicken bones, there are cheaper options in the neighborhood. Avoid this place. read more

Great food, friendly service. Great spot for a quick bite as you're making your way through your day

I recently placed an order for catering a birthday party. With a crowd of mixed diets, Brine was very amenable to alter some dished to be vegan, except for their delicious chicken of course. Some dishes were already vegan. While placing the order I was assisted with choosing the dishes that were already vegan and those dishes that could easily be made vegan. The delivery was just as scheduled also. The guests all enjoyed the food. I would order from them again. I have already visited their storefront on 8th Avenue. Very clean and good service. Thank you, Joe, for your advice. read more

So nice to have healthy, protein based options that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Very friendly and helpful staff too. Will be back!

A very solid meal for lunch or dinner. It's quick, efficient, yummy and decently healthy (that is, if you don't douse your meal in sauce like I do). Also, there is something really nice about ordering from Brine. It's local, the food tastes great, it's reliable and you know you're directly supporting the community. If you're like me - a die-hard Chipotle fan (don't @ me) - and you are always looking for a good meat and rice dish, then consider adding Brine to your rotation. You won't regret it, and you'll certainly feel a lot better buying from them than a huge national chain. read more

On 07-June 2019, I received their sandwich combo via delivery, *see attached photo. It was my second time ordering delivery, and the sandwiches are delicious and always fresh and warm! I decided to try the combo with fries this time and what a disappointment on the actual delivery and presentation! It looked like my fries were not only eaten along the way, but that they were dumped at the bottom of the delivery bag. When I called to complain, the employee apologized and offered to credit me for the fries however didn't ask for any of my details to verify my order. I guess that would be fine if I actually saw a credit back to my account. Overall, disappointed with the delivery service and customer service. --------- I guess I'll have to call him Dan the man at this point! :) The owner reached out to me and extended his apologies for the last delivery presentation experience I had. I came to the restaurant and his team kindly welcomed me. I was walked through the menu and was also given a side of each sauce to take home. My meal (the pulled chicken sandwich and crinkle cut fries), were fresh and delicious! It was also great to try their chicken with rice and peas. The whole experience confirmed that there is still true Customer Service out here, folks! Thank you to Dan and the Brine Team :) read more

Damn. Does are fire, chicken is delicious. Keto dream come true. Only wish they separated out the food when it's being delivered so it doesn't turn into a mixed soup after it gets here read more

I've only tried their chicken sandwich, but I'm absolutely hooked. The chicken is flavorful, and I love the combination with the slaw. They have a kiosk that you can order from, but there are also a number of order options to choose from to make it an easy pick up for lunch. The employees have always been very friendly and helpful. They have a number of sauces you can choose from, and they have all the sauces ready to take out so you can try them all and pick your favorite. My personal favorite is their honey mustard. I'd definitely like to try additional items from their menu, but it's quite tough going there and not getting a sandwich. It's just that good. I'm a little sad that I discovered them during my last few weeks of working in Chelsea. I'd definitely go back when I'm back around the area. read more

The first time I went, I ate inside and it was amazing! I got the signature chicken thigh combo with beets and fries. The fries are better than any place I've had in sometime. Now for the bad news. The second time I went, I ordered the same thing but take out and the portions were half the size, almost comical. Food is great but quality control is unpredictable. The chicken also didn't taste as good doing take out. My advice: order dine in. read more

After an afternoon of shopping we were looking to get an early lunch dinner. We found a gem in "Brine", an unexpectedly great experience. The restaurant it self was clean and simple with no pretence at all and a chicken menu to match. We ordered the original Chicken tenders meal and the boneless breast meal. The chicken tenders were properly cooked; succulent and came with crisp steak fries and a triangle if Texas style toast - with honey mustard on the side. My friend had the breast meal, (prepared with Chili Garlic sauce)with 2 sides and toast. The chicken was soft, very juicy with wonderful flavor. Sides were pleasing as well. Both meals were freshly prepared, hot, tasty and delicious. Very satisfying food, very reasonable price. The fantastic eating was complimented by an eager attentive staff; courteous and enthused. As we are in Covid, we ate alfresco on 8th Ave and our meals were brought to us, again very courteous. The restaurant itself was super immaculate, following complete Covid health guidelines - very reassuring; right down to the automated kiosks to place the orders. Hand sanitizer, wiping down of surfaces and a clean restroom added to the comfort of the experience. Our meals with sides and sodas was less than $40 with tips - super value in NYC for the quality of the food alone. We were taken in by the great food, service and valur. A hidden treasure to be sought out for dining with no fuss or pretense. 10 stars here! I offer my highest recommendation! read more
