The chicken sandwich is a must try. The beignets are also fantastic (only 3 for $1). The people there are friendly and joy to conversate with. It's New Orleans in NYC!

Andrew Shum

Staff is superbly friendly . They give away free beignets from time to time to their customers. The beignets are amazing and cheap , chicory coffee is great, and their sandwiches even better.

Elyse Estrada

The fried chicken is to die for! Ask for it with the honey jam and your mouth will never be happier! Def get a beignet after - they are perfectly warm and small enough to not be overwhelming.

emily chen

this place is SO underrated and how it has flown under the radar for so long blows my mind. this was the OG fried chicken sandwich in nyc -- w biscuit/gravy/grits!

Kino

It's very easy to miss this New Orleans style sandwich shop . It has a more Williamsburg vibe than a Chinatown vibe. The chicken biscuit sandwich here is a must try for NYC locals and tourists alike!

Christina C.

Fried chicken on a buttermilk biscuit is the way to go here. The place is tiny & you might miss it. It's to the right of the listed address with tiny doors. Ppl are super friendly .

Thrillist

The chicken biscuit , topped with gravy , is unmatched, the oyster (or shrimp ) po’ boy is an excellent and classic option, and don’t skip the horseradish-spiked beef sandwich , either. Read more

Mike Friedlich

Fried chicken sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Although the chicken itself isnt great but the sandwich as a whole with the biscuit , gravy and slaw is amazing.

Wendy Sung

Get the classic chicken biscuit sandwich . Juicy chicken filet nestled between two warm, perfectly baked biscuits and dressed in gravy and slaw . You can literally taste the love

Alex Robertson

black-owned business in NYC, owned by one Din Yates. Scarr's right across the way is also black-owned (Scarr Pimentel). Cheeky is doing delivery and takeout during COVID-19 times

Zac Zellers

the oyster po' boy made me wanna cry; it was so good i felt moved. and whatever biscuit they use for the fried chicken sandwich is, like, heavenly. cool spot, rarely a wait compared to other LES bites

Chris Cookson

This place has a great vibe and even nicer food! the chicken and biscuit sandwich is absolutely irresistible. The bread on the Po Boys is actually shipped in from New Orleans. Try the Crawfish chips !

Village Voice

Po'boys filled with either fried shrimp or fried oysters , veggie muffalettas and braised short ribs stuffed inside of challah bread are all available with a bag of Louisiana Zapp's Potato Chips . Read more

Rachel Donley

If you don't eat meat, the grass sandwich is great! Tough to beat (pun originally not unintended) the goat cheese/beet combo.

Oliver Delgado

Their chicken sandwich is heavenly — biscuit , gravy , fried chicken . How they make it without it being overly heavy or greasy I don't know. Sublime.

Jeffrey

Fried Chicken and Biscuit : Jeremiah Stone, co-owner of Contra, delights in the way fried chicken , buttermilk biscuits , slaw , and gravy come together in this messy, New Orleans-style pile.

Steven Rosenblatt

Hidden gem of hidden gems . Shrimp Po Boy + Biscuits + Banyay = fantastic meal

Zach Carlile

The chicken biscuit hits the spot every time. Everyone who works here is incredibly nice as well .

Gregory Fisher

Pick your own adventure—beef sandwich (on challah ) is the delicious, neat choice, the chicken sandwich (on a biscuit with gravy ) is the delicious, messy choice!

Jeffrey

Braised short rib with horseradish on toasted challah . Fried chicken on a buttermilk biscuit with coleslaw and gravy . A veggie muffuletta . This is not your average Boar’s Head–on–rye deli counter.

Bryant Balatbat

Shrimp and oyster po' boy and fried chicken on biscuits . These guys make some of the best sandwiches around. Don't miss the place; the sign's on the pavement.

Rich C

the fried chicken sandwich is perfect comfort food fare: buttermilk biscuit , southern style chicken , coleslaw and gravy . also got the sea half shrimp + half oyster po'boy, which hit the spot. do it.

Dianna H.

This is one of those places where you actually have a hard time deciding what to get because you want EVERYTHING on the menu. I eventually decided on the short ribs on challah & boy, am I glad I did!

Ryan Ambs

One of the best places on earth. The vibe is the definition of cool but without any pretentiousness . The charm is simplicity, offering 4-5 sandwiches that they absolutely knock out of the park .

Cheeky Sandwiches x Ramiro Davaro-Comas | Ramiro Davaro Comas came up with a creation in his signature style for New Orleans-style po' boys sandwich shop , Cheeky's. Read more

Danny Martin

What a great addition to the neighborhood that we needed! New favorite lunch place. Fantastic casual atmosphere and southern ambience. The Veggie was amazing!

KristiaMarie Pastor Balatbat

BEST Oyster and shrimp Po'boy. Their excellent beignets pair well with the Cafe du Monde coffee that they serve. Don't leave without having beignets !

DoubleDeuce

Most genuinely helpful service I've had in Manhattan and hands down, the best biscuits . Weirdly, the bathroom has a rustic , mountain outhouse feel to it (minus a water pump).

Halstead Property

Don’t overlook this small restaurant because you don’t want to miss their chicken sandwich . The crunchy fried chicken topped with savory gravy is perfect in the right-out-of-the-oven, buttery biscuit .

Dianna H.

Also, the ben-yays & coffee are a delicious, post-sandwich snack & the guys working there are super cool. After we ordered 2 sandwiches & coffees , our ben-yays were on the house! Thanks, Cheeky :)

Kate Furman

Get the chicken sandwich ! The service is great and they give you free beignets . All credit cards accepted.

Vincent

The white gravy on the chicken sandwich is so good. The biscuit is also crumbly goodness. They also give you a beignet with your order.

Liz K

If you're looking for a change-up--try the veggie sandwich ! The only place I'd actually recommend a veggie sandwich from.

Vince Wong

While I have yet to try Cheeky's signature Fried Chicken biscuit , their braised beef short-rib on challah bread is a great sandwich . It isn't super filling, but it'll surely whet your palate.

David Zhang

Probably the best fried chicken sandwich in nyc. There's something undeniably delicious in that gravy .

Ellie

Simply amazing sandwiches , matched by friendly , cheerful service. Standout beef-horseradish and po'boy

For the Makers

Insanely good sandwiches in this tiny + super friendly New Orleans style spot. If you are nice they might hook you up with fresh beignets .

Chop Suey Club

For a whole 2 week, we came here everyday for either the fried chicken sandwich ($7) or the breakfast sandwich . Both served on perfectly baked biscuits .

Bruce

The food was really good had a half and half po boy shrimp and clam and a chicken biscuit all so amazingly good ill be back for sure so dope

Clay Nielsen

You can't go wrong with the fried chicken on buttermilk biscuit . The gravy is hot as lava but so delicious. Save room for beignets !

Quinton Ma

Chicken and Beef are to die for. I wish I loved the Po' Boys here (bread flown in weekly from New Orleans), but it really wasn't that filling.

Kat Lim

Chicken sandwich is amazing. The coleslaw gives it a nice crunch. It's the size of your palm so it runs a bit small.

Amber

Fried chicken with mashed potatoes on a biscuit . Do I need to say anything else?

Goodstuff Hally

Amazing chicken biscuit sandwich . Low key store, cheep,quick and nice. Done

Village Voice

They brought Fried chicken on buttermilk biscuit with gravy and coleslaw , Brasied shortribs on Challah , Seared pork chop on challah , Muffalata and Crispy goat cheese on flauta bread to Choice Eats!

E.J. Mablekos

Don't be afraid to get two sandwiches if your first time. I recommend a pork and a beef . Best sandwich place in nyc.

Jena

Chicken sandwich , savory biscuit , fried chicken , gravy and red cabbage coleslaw . Just right.

Thavy Uch

Get the shrimp po boy , has a nice kick to it. Definitely enjoyed it more than the chicken biscuit . Super friendly staff !

Melanie W.

The chicken biscuit is so good I had it two weekends in a row. Best biscuit in nyc.

Christina Troitino

Get voodoo chips and a chicken sandwich . Tell all your friends and tip well ! It's a tiny kitchen. Then grab a pint at Top Hops nearby
