    Chicken and The Chicken & Waffles Package: Bone-In Chicken
    Dameer K.

    Chicken and waffles. It's kind of funny that this combination doesn't sound like it goes together, but mannn, you need to try for yourself!! Never judge a book by us cover. /

    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!

    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.

    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.

    The food at the establishment was 10/10! I love the vibes and the atmosphere. The staff was also kind and welcoming. They even helped with finding nice places to go in the area. I got the chicken and waffles and it was amazing fast and fresh.

    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!!

    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.

    OG Chicken Sandwich
    Joanna R.

    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.

    I went here with my friend a few weeks ago and we absolutely loved the food! The service was great & ambiance was laid back.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Sweet Chick

    Can I order chicken and waffles for dinner?

    Yes.

    Which location is the best or are they all similar?

    They are similar.

    What are the dairy free options?

    Yes! They do have vegan options.

    Is the vegetarian chicken also vegan?

    I believe the chicken is vegan but the waffles aren't. I have a vegan friend who ate the chicken and wanted to eat the waffles, but didn't bc they aren't vegan. I don't want to steer you wrong through, please call the specific Sweet Chick you're… 

    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.

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.

She also had the Arnold Palmer, which was great. Comes with fries which were good. I had the oxtail, with a side of garlic mash and Mac n cheese. Yes!

The space and volume seemed to overwhelm the staff at times. Service was friendly and welcoming but also frazzled and disorganized. We never received our appetizer until we reminded them, and our drinks (sweet tea and lemonade) also had to be requested again after a very long wait. To their credit, they did pack up the crab cake appetizer to go and removed it from the bill, which we appreciated. The fried chicken, mac and cheese, and yams were all served on top of each other. If you dont like for your food to touch, this place will be a nightmare for you. I ordered fried catfish, collard greens and potato salad. The fried catfish was served swimming in collard green juice (there's a picture of it). It was also surprising that you only get one piece of catfish, which felt underwhelming for the price, especially since it was soggy. The potato salad was served in a small separate bowl, which is typical in many Southern restaurants for ALL side dishes. The mac and cheese had good flavor but the cheese wasn't fully melted. The yams were dry and not very sweet despite the menu description. The collard greens were on the sweeter side, which may work for some but wasn't my preference. The potato salad the only thing that was solid. Overall, it felt overpriced for the portion sizes and execution. The bartender seemed very skilled, and the drinks we saw being made looked great, though we didn't order any. After the long wait and missing appetizer, we skipped dessert and went elsewhere. The bathroom also needed attention and was not well maintained AT ALL! Ew The restaurant is very loud which didn't bother me at all but an FYI. It is also handicapped accessible and kid friendly. I really wanted to love the experience, but it fell below expectations in terms of service, cleanliness, and value. I might give them another try but no time soon.
