    Chicken Sandwiches with vanilla glaze
    Shamahd L.

    The food was amazing, chicken was flavorful, and tender. My waffles were made to perfection and with the added vanilla glaze I didn't even need syrup! The music brought a good vibe to the atmosphere. All the staff was very kind and welcoming. The manager even turned off the heat because we were right by the kitchen and it was burning up. But that just showed how accommodating they were and it was very appreciated. I definitely recommend the chicken and waffles with the vanilla glaze if you ever try!

    What a delicious meal! My partner took me here as I've never had Sweet Chick and now I can't get enough of it! The environment and the staff were so friendly and welcome. Although I didn't get the name of the server who helped us, he had really great energy and was very warm to all the customers there. My favorite dish that night was actually their crispy Brussels sprouts. I didn't know they could taste that good and I kept eating them. The chicken was perfect - no comments. The butters were fun! I really liked their berry butter. I got my waffles with the apple cinnamon and while it was good, I don't think it showed up as much and maybe wasn't really needed. All in all this was a great meal and now if I want chicken and waffles, I know where to go.

    I had never been to a Sweet Chick before but had heard great things about their other locations. I realized there was one nearby and decided to give it a try. The space was open, inviting, and super cute. The food -- especially the chicken -- was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the waffles had that perfect crunch. I also ordered a cocktail I believe Queen of NY, which was strong and delicious, though I wish it had been a little less sweet. My partner and I came here for brunch, and the only downside was that they didn't offer coffee -- a bit surprising for a brunch spot. That said, the service was fast and attentive, which made for an overall great experience.

    Jalapeño cheddar hush puppies delicious.
    Sherene N.

    No matter which location I visit, sweet chick absolutely never ever fails. The last time I went , I ordered the jalapeno cheddar hush puppies. Which were nice crispy savory and spicy. Very flavorful , with the cheddar contrasting the jalapeño. For my aunt ray I decided to have the apple cinnamon waffles with the chipotle chicken. This meal was not only filling but also mesmerizing and wonderfully done. The contrast between the apple cinnamon waffle and the chipotle chicken gave a very sweet vs. heat competition that I absolutely love. I love sweet chick happy and absolutely full as per usual and I will always support some sweet chick.

    I've been wanting to come here for soooooooo long and I'm so happy I finally did!!! The chicken and waffles were so good. Chicken was crispy, waffles were crispy. Even better with the maple syrup on top Loaded fries are also always a good idea and I loved the bacon and jalapeño on it Will deff be back!!

    OG Chicken Sandwich

    Chicken was unseasoned and raw. The service was okay. I swear she tipped herself 20% but it was whatever because we were the last ones there but now that we're getting home and seeing this raw poultry it's honestly disgusting and disappointing. The ambiance was nice tho ig.

    Have you ever gone been the one to suggest a place, and then it falls through? That's what happened here. We had the option to go here or to a different restaurant and because I've been here a few times before (but not enough to be considered a regular) I suggested we come here. I checked to see if there was a way to make resys, and that wasn't an option that I noticed, so we just went as walk-ins. It was a Wednesday and about 6pm. When we walked in, I noticed there were people sitting to the side waiting to be seated, but they had a larger party they were waiting for. The back area was empty, and a few tables were empty up front, but the bar was pretty full. We walked in and waited a few minutes , and eventually, we were acknowledged by the bartender who said our table would be ready shortly. While waiting, some regulars walked in and seated themselves in the back and at the bar, notifying the bartender of where they were going. Maybe their party was there so I was minding my business. Although a few tables were already cleaned and set up, we we told to wait for one being cleaned from guests who just left, but no problem. We were told to go sit in the table just wiped down, and I was given some menus and informed water would be brought over. Guests for two other tables came in and were seated pretty quickly, and the person tending the bar came over to bring them water and take their orders as well. Now, with it being allergy season, and although I carry around a bottle of water in case I get choked up, I ran out. So I felt a coughing fit coming on, and since we still hadn't received any water or service at all at this point, I got up and went to the bar to ask for some water. The bartender who stated we were going to get water 2 tables and 15-20 mins ago stops me on my way up there and basically reprimands me saying "sit 'sweetie' I got you! " I'm trying to explain to him how I actually needed water then, and he's telling me that he's coming as if it was just my not being patient. I could have said something more or ignored him and got water anyway but I wanted to see how this played out so I went back to the table and sat and waited and started coughing as I knew would happen and he eventually came over after chatting with some friends or locals that came in and another table. Finally, he comes over to bring our table a bottle of water. At that point, he then he took our order. We informed him that at this juncture the dessert (slice of cake) that we were ordering we wanted packed up to go, because we knew our timing and he proceeded to tell us we can take our time and chill and have it afterwards.... Fast forward, we get our food after a while. And we have no utensils. Yes, we have chicken for a portion of the meal, but we also had food that needed forks... At no point did our server come to check on us to find out if we were good or if anything was needed when our food was delivered. He did enjoy the camaraderie of the regulars who stopped by and those who seemed to be friends. In no way would I ever say or suggest to ignore those who are your regulars because that's how you keep them, but also don't ignore those who you think are new or you just don't notice because that prevents them from returning. We were able to get another servers attention and asked for to go boxes and then adked for the check. We basically were seated to get our food to go. One star is for the other server who came up to assist, (female, pretty brown- skin, pony tail, average height and nice demeanor) and another star for the person bringing out dishes and running back and forth seemingly bringing dishes from storage (male, latino, braids, about 5'3, -5'5 very polite). This really took away from my previous experiences there, and I doubt I'd plan to return anytime in the near future.

    A bit disappointed in this place as it was actually on my list of food spots to try when coming to New York. It's in a pretty busy area at night with bustling nightlife and lots of other food options. The interior is cute and intimate, and the music was on point. My husband and I ordered two salads, a 10 piece wings and a three-piece, tender, and fry to go. After ordering, we went and walked around the area a bit, then came back and sat and waited for our food while waiting we noticed that the restaurant really started to pick up at the bar and table seating after 30 minutes. I asked the bartender about our food, but she said he would check When he came back. He had our food. I'm thinking it was sitting there for a while since we only had two salads, some wings, and a few tenders. I do feel the service could've been better, especially seeing as I actually tipped for that to go, which was something new I'm trying out that doesn't seem to be going well when getting back to our hotel and trying it, we were not fans at all of the maple chipotle wings. They were bland and really just not that good. My sesame ginger salad could have been better if it had more dressing that came with it. My husband's Caesar salad was good. My sister's tenders and fries were okay. She said she liked the tenders, but not so much the fries. I would not return to this restaurant.

    Ate here on the night of the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson fight and it was a vibe (as always though). I've had sweet chick a few times and it never disappoints no matter what I try. On this occasion I tried the vanilla glaze chicken & waffles with plain chicken tenders. Absolutely tasty combo. I also have had the OG chicken sandwich & chicken & waffles with honey soy garlic tenders and that was also so tasty. I highly recommend trying ALL of those things on ALL the many times you (should) go to Sweet Chick. It's also a great vibe in there, just like a classic NY vibe with great service and kind workers all around. Definitely a must try if you're visiting NYC or even if you've lived there and never had it!

    OG Chicken Sandwich

    Ordered OG Chicken Sandwich with Fries. I think it was worth it! Good Chicken Sandwich and with thin cut fries which were about the right size. If you are carving one this does the job

    Excellent spot in NYC lower east side...especially if you love chicken! Got some wings and a side of hush puppies (melts in your mouth). Drink menu has a good variety and reasonably priced for the city. Good music; hip-hop - R&B vibe. I saw a fair amount of take out too, which tells you the kitchen is cookin' up something right. Good amount of seating...looks like it goes into the back. I suggested they get a live DJ some nights, lol. Chicken lovers check this place out...cause I'll be back!

    3 pc boneless chicken tender (Honey Lemon Pepper Flavor) with waffles (chocolate chip) and Side of Mac and cheese with orange juice
    Hazel B.

    WOW... like WOW. This place is so. Good. My bf and I are visiting from California. As soon as you walk in the staff are friendly, they made the whole vibe of the restaurant feel like you're a local going to your favorite breakfast spot in the city. For food, I got the 3 pc boneless chicken tenders in the Honey Lemon Pepper flavor with chocolate chip waffles, a side of Mac and cheese and orange juice to drink. My boyfriend got the sweet chili chicken sandwich and it came with a side of hash brown made in the waffle griddle, with an Arnold Palmer to drink. It was delicious!! The chicken had so much flavor, the waffles were wonderfully made and the Mac and cheese was the perfect side! We can't wait to come back when we visit again.

    Can I bring my dog?

    Not sanitary to bring your pet dog into a food establishment. No.

    Does the waitlist app not work?

    Haven't used it but will if necessary

    Can I order egg & cheese on a biscuit during the week here?

    I'm not sure, if you online you should find the answer. I.don't see why not. Enjoy!

    Sooo guessing this location is back open?

    I would check out their Instagram before you go. When I went they were having issue with the gas. They stated that on their IG though but I missed it.

    Is Sweet Chick back to normal now or is it still the pop-up?

    Normal

    What is the best day and time to enjoy a relaxed and unrushed meal?

    I went around 1:30 on a Weekday and while it was a nice crowd we didn't have to wait to be seated.

    Is there a bottomless brunch option?

    No dear - but the drinks are strong, you don't need it to be bottomless LOL!

    Do they do bottomless brunch?

    No . I wish they did !!

    What time does brunch end on the weeekend?

    Hello my friend. Brunch ends at 4pm on the weekend here at Sweet Chick. Thank you.

    Is it necessary to have reservations on a Saturday afternoon for a party of 9? I am unable to make…

    I would call them directly for parties larger than 8. That's probably why the website is not letting you RSVP.

    Is there good enough room for a group?

    Depends on how big your group is, there will most likely be a wait but I'm sure they'll try to accommodate.

    If you haven't been to Pecking House yet, consider this your sign to go. The restaurant has become…read morea favorite among the Gen Z crowd, and after one bite of its signature chili-fried chicken, it's easy to understand why. The chicken is crunchy, intensely flavorful, and carries just the right amount of heat. Each piece is buttermilk-brined, country-fried, and dusted with Sichuan peppercorns, Tianjin chilis, and five-spice, creating a combination that's spicy, numbing, savory, and deeply addictive all at once. But the menu goes beyond the famous fried chicken. Seasonal dishes rotate regularly, alongside standout chicken sandwiches and wings that deserve just as much attention. There's an energy to the food that feels modern without losing sight of technique or tradition. That balance comes directly from chef and founder Eric Huang. Huang grew up working in his family's Chinese restaurant while training as a cellist at Juilliard School before eventually abandoning music. After a detour studying history at Northwestern University, he committed fully to cooking and spent more than a decade training in some of NYC's most prominent kitchens, including Cafe Boulud, Gramercy Tavern, and Eleven Madison Park. As a sous chef at Eleven Madison Park, he was part of the team that helped the restaurant earn the title of "Best Restaurant in the World" in 2017. Like many chefs, Huang's plans changed dramatically in 2020 when the pandemic interrupted his ambitions of opening a Michelin-starred restaurant. Instead, he returned home to help save his family's struggling business. Out of that difficult moment came the dish that would define Pecking House: the now-famous Sichuan chili country fried chicken, reportedly perfected on the very first attempt. Pecking House succeeds because it combines serious culinary pedigree with food that's delicious, craveable, and unpretentious. The fried chicken alone is worth the trip and the long line.

I ordered the Claude the Claw ($18.99) with medium spicy sauce on the side. The sandwich is pretty huge. I like how they wrapped the sandwich around the claw sticking out from the bottom. I did take it out of the wrapper for the picture, but suggest you keep the wrapper on as it gets messy to eat. The spices and flavor is delicious and the chicken is crispy and tender. It's a great Nashville hot chicken sandwich overall. While the claw is insta-worthy, it's not quite worth the extra $4 (plus you can't really even eat it, so it's all for show). I'd suggest getting the claw for your first time, but I'd get the regular sandwich in the future for the lower price.

You will need to decide for yourself if it lives up to the hype. A heads up, the place can be tricky to find. It's tucked inside a building behind the coffee shop that Google Maps directs you to, and seating is very limited.

One flavor I ordered was supposed to be a bit spicy but I couldn't tell it had any heat at all -but then I'm from TX. They've obviously adjusted to a New Yorkers spice tolerance. I also ordered white rice which was very sticky and easy to eat with chopsticks. It comes with a small side salad with a dressing so good I asked what it was. I tried the rolled egg. It was like an omelette but rolled and drizzled with ketchup and another sauce. Also delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the service was friendly and attentive.

The staff stayed on top of everything, constantly clearing tables and wiping things down even though the place was completely packed. The only downside was how hard it was to find seating since it was so busy, but that definitely wasn't a deal breaker. The energy, service, and efficiency made it worth it. 10/10. We don't have a raising canes back home so this was a great stop in Times Square!

    So, I understand this is a tourist trap, but we need to have some organization and logistics in…read moreplace if this location is going to be a thing. Why was the food unseasoned and nasty? The Raising Cane's in downtown Brooklyn is flavorfully and not salty. The food needs to taste similar at all the locations. The drinks and the food need to come out together. Someone needs to be at the door directing people that they can either go to register line or order at the kiosk. The merchandise bookshelves are in the way and too close to the door. People in wheelchairs and people with strollers need to be able to get in the door and maneuver safely. DJ Intern needs to go back to school. The music was a mess and wasn't a positive value add to the overall experience. Please get it together.

    This KFC, or rather Korean Fried Chicken place, opened up back in April on 1st Avenue, with a new…read moreone having very recently opened on 2nd Ave and 73rd. I went here a while back to order lunch for takeout, and it was pretty good. After they opened, they added some specials ranging from $15 to $17, combining chicken with fries or dumplings, and I went with the sweet and spicy boneless chicken with standard fries, as you can also update the fries to the "spicy snow" version for an extra $1. The cashier was friendly. The sweet and spicy chicken is their version of Yangnyeom/양념치킨, and the combo came with a few moderately sized pieces. The breading was crispy, and the chicken inside was pretty tender. There was some sweetness, and it had a mild kick, though it wasn't as spicy as I prefer. The fries inside were OK. They had a good crisp to them and a good crunch, but needed a tad more salt. The fry portion was also much larger, so next time, I would just stick with the chicken. The free kimchi was standard and decent. This was a perfectly decent Korean chicken spot. If it were any closer to a Korean neighborhood, I doubt it would be doing well, but there is a distinct lack of Korean places nearby outside of the primarily takeout spot, which doesn't specialize at all in chicken. It fills a niche, and I would likely at some point stop in again to try their Korean chicken sandwich or their plain chicken to try more of their sauces.

    I've ordered 3 times, and enjoyed all 3 meals at home. I go in person, place my order, and go…read morehome to enjoy. It's not as messy as you might think. Things were rather neat actually. My first ever order of Boong's wings, since wings are hands-on, was a bit messy, but oh sooo good, and worth it. LOL But, as I write this, I realize that the boneless chicken pieces I have ordered twice, are not messy, even tho I'm hands-on with that meal, too. LOL. so, I could eat those in the shop, and not feel like my hands are a total mess. SERVICE is friendly and helpful. ASK if you have questions. :) I've had the chicken wings, and the boneless fried chicken. I like the sauce choices, and the complimentary small container of kimchi . You need to ask for it if you want it. And, right there!! Boom!! That's a BENEFIT OF READING YELP REVIEWS. Right?!! :) That part of my take-out container that is open, is open for a reason--to keep the crunchiness of the chicken. If closed, the heat from the food would make it less crunchy. As if steaming it. So, the restaurant gives you your takeout container with one part open. Make sure it stays open. I still have to try the ramen, because I'm curious about the machine -see my photos--the machine helps you prepare your ramen sold in the colorful packaged ramen available in the shop. There is a MILD-SPICY-EXTRA SPICY. SELECTION. See my photos of the COLORFUL RAMEN WALL. There is seating available inside-about 6 tables. I'll update when I try the ramen, and I'll enjoy it inside the shop.
