Satisfied my fried chicken craving. Heard positive reviews for this spot so was on my list to try. Food and service was good. Plenty of seating if you're dining in and food was served quick. sweet chick bucket 4.5/5 - got it with soy honey garlic and it was tasty. Don't really recommend the mashed potatoes because the texture was a little off for me. nashville hot chicken sandwich 4/5 - good sandwich and perfect amount of spice. read more

Been here plenty of time because who can say no to chicken and waffles!! I managed to catch the brunch special which was $10 and had some grits which was also tasty. Servers were nice and space is big so bring your posse. Prices in general are decent for the food you are eating so dont wait and go get your chicken and waffles!! read more

I went here a 2nd time at a normal time and totally lived up to my memory. Amazing sandwiches. Get the wings tossed in sauce! Service is still very friendly. They don't rush you to get out the door which is appreciated. Although ambiance is fast food it's definitely a little more upscale. read more

Came here for a somewhat quick brunch by myself. If you were craving some good Chicken & Waffles, this is the spot to go to. What makes it great is that they don't just give you ordinary butter, it appears to be raspberry flavored. You don't think it goes with the waffles and then the maple syrup on top of it, but give it a try and it's a game changer. It's a seat yourself type of restaurant and you will get table service, but you may need to get someone to wipe the table down. You also need to pay at the cashier rather than the waitress/waiter taking care of it. Note that there's a 3.0% Operating Surcharge. read more

I was so surprised when I walked in and the restaurant was entirely empty! I ordered to-go classic chicken and waffles and it came with the syrup, a mixed berry butter, and some hot sauce which really tied it altogether. The food was delicious -- chicken tenders were cooked perfectly and the waffle was soft with powdered sugar. Delicious!! read more

I've passed by Sweet Chick enough that I knew I wanted to try it, and finally, on a random Monday night, I did! I admit, I took a sneak peek of the the reviews, and some of what was described proved to be true with my experience. Throughout the evening there were literally 2 staff members to be found, both of them literally doing everything. There were more take out orders than sit down, so they were mainly dealing with delivery drivers and people ordering pick-up. I'd say the food came out in a pretty normal amount of time. If I were dining in a bigger group, and if we had places to be I can see how this isn't the best spot for you. This did not bother me, since I was dining with a friend and we were in no rush, so take that as you will. I ordered the Honey Lemon Pepper Chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was pretty good. Can't complain that my chicken was (much) longer than the bun it sat in between, but it was an awkward sandwich because of it (see picture). My friend and I ordered sides of brussel sprouts and mac and cheese: each of the sides were $8, which I felt were a little hefty for the small-ish portions. The brussel sprouts had a nice sauce, but I've had much better mac and cheese... for cheaper too. Best way to describe it was that it tasted more like eating a pasta with a creamy sauce rather than mac and cheese. My meal for a chicken sandwich + side was $30. Note that I did get the more pricey side (fries can be $5, rather than $8 for the more premium sides). read more

They do a really good job with chicken and waffles. Ordered the classic bone-in chicken and waffles for takeout, and by the time I ate it (30-40 min after ordering) the chicken was still super crispy and the waffles had a good amount of fluffiness. In terms of flavor, the chicken was seasoned well and I enjoyed the signature butters that came with the waffles. Would come back! read more

I was disappointed in my experience here. The place is very cute and has a fun vibe with a full bar and nice decor. I was able to find parking right in front. Our server was friendly and took our orders quickly. I ordered a mimosa, honey garlic chicken tenders and waffles. The waffles were fluffy and tasty; what I did not enjoy was the chicken tenders. I thought the chicken lacked flavor and the sauce tasted like it was something out of a box. I tried a bite of my boyfriend's bone in chicken and it did taste better. Not sure if I will be returning. read more

I come to this location because it's never crowded and there always seem to be only one or two people working the front of house, yet they're very attentive. Since it's usually quiet, the service feels personal and unhurried. The food is always spot on and tastes exactly how I expect it to every time. This is definitely my go to spot for chicken and waffles. read more

Honestly, I've been here in the past and have been very happy with the experience, but this most recent time was pretty disappointing. The food was still good. The problem was everything else... There was only one person waiting tables, it took forever to get our order taken, all the food portions were reduced, there were fewer sauce flavor options, and the chicken tenders were even a bit smaller than they were at past visits. If you're looking for some fun flavors of chicken and waffles, it's a decent spot still. They just aren't quite up to the standard of what I have come to expect from them. Edit: Oh! And they switched up their tipping at the end of your meal to options starting at 20%, and going all the way up to 30%. Something that rubs me the wrong way is when a restaurant clearly cuts a bunch of corners, and then pressures you for even more gratuity. read more

Food was good. Service was slow. We used the reservation system and booked for 1130 and then found out the establishment didn't open till noon. The staff were ready for us even while we waited for them to open up. The special sauce for the hashbrowns was honey mustard. I thought it was going to be an exciting different flavor until I realized it was just honey mustard. Music was great! read more

Came for an early brunch, which was a laid back affair. We were able to be seated right away even though we didn't have a res. My friend and I split the carrot cake pancake special (delicious) and balanced it with a savor breakfast sandwich. Overall the service was ok but the I would return for the pancakes when they have them again. read more

My family and I came here on MLK day for lunch. It was not very busy but we weren't acknowledged when we first came in despite the people walking in and out of the counter area. When we were finally greeted, we mentioned a reservation and they didnt even ask what the name was. They sat us at a table that was without utensils or drink menus. I ordered a coffee and asked for milk. The coffee arrived with a little sugar caddy but no milk. When he came back, I asked for the milk. He said no problem, then went to take orders. I asked for third time and he brought the milk. The coffee was cold. It was freezing outside so every time someone opened the door, we got a gust of cold wind. This made our food cold very quickly. The food was the saving grace. We ordered the 3 piece chicken and waffles as well as a side of tenders and mac and cheese for my daughter. The chicken was well seasoned and fried nicely. The waffles were light and crisp and not overly sweet. They also serve real maple syrup which was a nice touch - tastes great on the chicken too. I have been to the Williamsburg location and much prefer it over this one. The food is pretty standard, however, the service left more to be desired. We felt ignored and the restaurant wasn't even busy. read more

We ordered via Uber Eats for pickup. Our food was ready for pickup according to the time. We got a grilled OG chicken sandwich, fried OG chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and fries. The fries were cold and the mac & cheese was lacking flavor. Portions are on the smaller side. My boyfriend said the fried chicken wasn't bad but wasn't exactly great either. My grilled chicken was very small, overcooked, and really dry. There were some burnt pieces of the chicken on the sandwich as well. I don't think it was worth it for $12. I had to pull out my mayo bottle from the fridge to add to my chicken because it was so dry. I think I may have just gotten the wrong item since I believe they are known for the fried chicken but I was disappointed by the small burnt grilled chicken sandwich. Yumpling (down the street) also has a fried chicken sandwich and it is a much larger piece at a similar price point. Overall I just think there is a mismatch between portion and price. I am not sure if it would be different if we had dined in. read more

My friends and I stopped in early on Sunday for brunch. The place was full, but no one else was waiting, thankfully! We were seated in about 20 mins. First of all, their wrench door handle is so cute! We took our seats and grabbed the menus that were readily available on the side. To eat, we ordered a mix of chicken and waffles and egg biscuit sandwiches. We also ordered a side of wings and hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were delicious! They come in a waffle style and are nice and crispy and well-seasoned. I ordered the honey lemon pepper fried chicken and apple cinnamon waffles. The chicken was juicy and flavorful! The waffles were just a touch sweet, and a perfect complement to the chicken. My friends enjoyed their egg sandwiches and wings. I thought about removing 2 stars, but generously only took away 1, because there was literally ONE GUY working in the whole restaurant which caused the service to be super slow. He was the bartender, host, to-go order guy, and server. Kudos to him for managing it all, but why would they schedule one person to work on a Sunday?? 3.5 rounded to a 4. Great food, but it shouldn't have been a 3 hour dining process. read more

Contactless ordering via the QR code on the table- you scan the QR code and it brings up the menu where you can order and pay via the webpage. The only time of contact is when the waiters bring out the food. My friends and I ordered the Honey Garlic Chicken and Waffles (1 with tenders, and 1 with bone-in), and the Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles. The tenders were a bit hard, but the bone-in chicken was fried to perfection. Their waffles were pretty solid! Also, their flavored butters were great (not sure the flavors, but I think one of them tasted like lemons). PS. Their sweet tea is not very sweet. read more

Update Father's Day 2023 I was highly disappointed with the food and the service. Second time I went in 3months and the chicken size seemed to be getting smaller and over cooked! I had ordered two breast for my chicken and it was so dry and over fried! The chicken is supposed to be juicy & come right off. It was hard and you can immediately tell the chicken was over cooked! I had asked the waiter why did that happen, and he came out with some mumbo jumbo how sometimes the chicken size can come out small. He didn't even bother to get me a fresh batch. So i don't know when will be the next time I go here because of the last few times of being disappointed. I love their food but not that much to waste money on overcooked food & poor service. read more

Management needs to seriously step it up with this place. I came here for my mom's birthday yesterday and it was honestly a disaster. The service is terrible. The staff isn't attentive and I had to flag down someone 5 different times for things that should have just been done to begin with. Instead of enjoying ourselves, it was stressful and irritating to have to try to get someone's attention for every little thing that wasn't done. And it's hard to get someone's attention because they walk by without looking at you. 1. We weren't given any utensils to eat with 2. We weren't given any napkins 3. The mac and cheese we ordered was WAY overcooked and was a gross mushy mess (I remember ordering this from a different location a couple of years ago and it being so good. Not the same at all anymore. Even after they fixed it, it was still gross and I didn't eat it.) 4. The birthday girl's waffles were served visibly burnt to a crisp and hard as a rock (WHY was this even served to begin with when you can see it's not good? It shouldn't have even left the kitchen). Then it took FOREVER to get her fixed waffles, to the point that everyone else was done eating before she got her food. 5. No one bringing more water when ours was empty The waiter tried to make it up at the end by taking my mom's order off the bill since it was her birthday and everyone else finished by the time she could even eat and gave her a free birthday shot. But there is still no chance I would ever come back again. I haven't had a dining experience this bad in a really long time.... read more

Giving them 5 stars because 1) 10 or so of us were seated right away on a weekend morning without a reservation 2) the chicken and waffle dishes came out quickly - especially great because I was starving and on the verge of hanger!! 3) the butters deserve praise - I wonder if they sell them! 4) the price is great especially given the area 5) it wasn't too nosy or crowded when we got there - we could actually hear each other talk! I'll definitely be back whenever I'm craving some soul food! read more

Pretty interesting that everything is ordered through your phone so that makes things easy. What I love is that they have so many vegetarian options that everyone can indulge-which is what it really is- an indulgence. I got the bbq vegetarian and my friend got chicken and waffles. The portions are filling and pricing is good too for the amount. There really isn't much to say on service since there's no one to take your order but the ambiance can be super casual to a great place for a crew or happy hour. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a chill place to hang out and satisfy everyone's prefer read more

Post 20.1 bike ride. My friends and I ended up at this location. You have to scan a code to send your food order. The staff will bring the order. Only thing that was forgotten was the utsensils and tissues and the maple syrup for the waffles. We weren'r sure if we were supposed to get it as we weren't notified. My friend ended up just going in and took some utensils outside. Waiting was not too bad. We did ordered alot. As you see we all ordered the chicken and waffles variety. Everyone liked it and it was filling. Would come back. read more

This Sweet Chick location is more chill than the other ones. Seems like less of a bar hang, and more of a casual spot for lunch/brunch.

Everything was delicious, and that ranch sauce is sooo good. read more

So, I haven't been to Sweet Chick in actual years. I've been to one in Brooklyn, and one on the LES, I believe?...Anyway, I remember them being ok. They were pretty good, but nothing to run through a blizzard for, you know? So, I was at a bar in Long Island City for a friend's bday gathering. The only food available was this quesadilla stand outside the bar. I saw the guy sell a few of them, and from what I saw, they weren't giving what they needed to give. So I told my friend that I needed to go find food because I was famished lol. I leave the bar and walk around LIC for a few minutes, and saw Sweet Chick. I think to myself, "eh, subpar chicken will do". So I head over. I arrive, and look at the sandwich menu. The woman who was working the register was super sweet (a sweet chick, if you will?....no? Ok, sorry lol) and helpful. I asked her if she has a favorite sandwich from the menu, and she said that the BBQ sandwich was really good. I told her I trust her and I'd take one! I then ordered a side of Mac n cheese, but then asked her if she recommended it. She said that the Mac n cheese is great, but with the BBQ chicken sandwich, she highly recommends the potato salad. She was a sista, so I REALLY trusted her because black people don't eat just any potato salad. She assured me that I'd like it, and that it's served with crispy onions. I was sold. I get my food and go outside to eat it. I'm not sure if the menu changed, or if the chicken is just built differently in Queens, but this BBQ chicken sandwich SLAPPED! I mean, it was GOODT, ok? The BBQ sauce was this and rich. The chicken breast was crispy and perfectly cooked. I was thoroughly impressed. The potato salad was also very good. It was well seasoned, creamy, but not too creamy, and the crispy onions were a wonderful touch! I mean, Sweet Chick did that! I will definitely come back for more.....to LIC lol! read more

So good I order it once a week - their bone-in chicken is moist, flavorful, and waffles are crispy but soft. Comes with a flavored butter and maple syrup! Their Nashville chicken is spicy and pairs perfectly! Loaded waffle fries were also amazing.

I was in town and have been wanting to try out this restaurant since it opened. I have been a Nas fan my whole life so of course I had to try his restaurant. I had the chicken and waffles with the honey lemon pepper tenders and regular waffle. The honey lemon pepper tenders were amazing! I wish I would have packed a cooler to ship some home with me! The restaurant is small but has a cool vibe and good music playing. It is a pretty low key spot. Nothing fancy, but good food and drinks for a reasonable price. I would definitely return. read more

Increase the amount of food you serve or just charge less. No one really minds paying $20 for lunch anymore, but with the amount I was served, it should be closer to the $10 range. Overall, food was decent at best, it was on the saltier side. Service was good. There's a lot more competitive and delicious foods in the area that's worth your time and money. read more

3.5 stars. Definitely a spot to check out for your own judgement. Every time I pass by this spot, there's always customers sitting both indoors and outdoors and it's always been a spot that I wanted to try. I ordered the sweet chick bucket for take out along with some extra biscuits that came with blueberry jam. The chicken reminds me of KFC batter and was actually pretty small. It was also dry and didn't seem worth it. It came with power slaw and a biscuit as well, which were both okay. The biscuits were pretty fluffy, not too buttery, and pretty good with the jam but overall just decent biscuits. They're pretty popular for their chicken and waffles so maybe try that out instead or their fried chicken sandwiches, which is also next on my list to try from here. They have a breakfast menu on the weekends which they are very diligent about and will not serve anything outside of that until after 12PM. read more

I don't understand the hype for this place. I got the Classic Chicken & Waffles, assuming it would be good. The chicken was really crispy but way too salty and pretty dry. The waffles were a little burnt but otherwise great- crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I had to go up and ask for the specialty butters for my waffles because the server forgot them. The flavored butters are delicious so definitely don't let them forget!

Lil Sweet Chick Review - I was definitely here in the pre-covid times, and had a great meal - loved the assortment of chicken preparation and waffle styles. And I'm very glad that they've opened back up, albeit as 'lil sweet chick,' now more of a fast causal joint (understandable in these times) - they offer a variety of chicken sandwiches, chicken and waffles (just classic of nashville hot), some salads and sides. I opted for the BLT Chicken Sandwich, served with jack cheese, bacon, and avocado-garlic aioli on a Martin's potato roll for $10. The highlight of the sandwich is the aioli for sure, very zesty and yum. I was a little underwhelmed with the size of the chicken/overall sandwich. The flavor was there, especially with the aioli, but just feel a little unsatisfied at the end of the day. But, will probably give them another shot one of these days, perhaps with a traditional chicken & waffles order. read more

Sweet chick is a great fast casual American food spot to grab lunch with friends! I'd come back for the casual vibe and crunchy waffles Their waffles are definitely worth trying; they're airy and crunchy on the outside, but soft and moist on the inside. The chicken is slightly salty when eaten separately but pairs well with the waffle and caramel sauce. The hash browns looked like waffles and were similarly tasty (crunchy but light), but I probably wouldn't order them again as I was expecting McDonald's hash browns. Service is casual but prompt, you can choose where to sit and there aren't specific waiters assigned to your table. You order from QR codes on your table, and food takes about 10-15 minutes to get to your table. The ambiance is fast / casual, it's the sort of lunch spot that serves drinks in clear plastic cups and you and spend an afternoon chilling at with friends. It's a bit dim inside but there's plenty of seating and an outdoor bench area. read more
