Want something sweet for brunch ? Get the Chicken and Waffles . Want something salty and savoury? Get the Chicken and Waffles ! The perfect brunch meal.

Tracey Churray

Maybe even a little better than the willamsburg spot. Don't miss the biscuits and jam and why are you ordering anything other than the chicken and waffles ?

Rory Parness

This is by far the crispiest fried chicken I've had, yet still manages to remain tender and juicy (nice kick too). If you ask, they'll serve you a white meat only version of chicken and waffles

Noah Weiss

Very good fried chicken , though not the best in the city . Go classic. Lather honey and hot sauce . Cornbread . Biscuits . Craft beers on tap . Surprisingly great cocktail menu .

april pongtratic

chicken and waffles are delicious (obviously). they have a great vegetarian fried chick alternative. great ambiance especially for hip hop heads. desserts are yummy, i tried a donut ice cream sandwich

Dante van der Heyden

My favorite spot in NYC! The food here is SO good. The atmosphere is very cozy and hip , and they have great music . Also great for just drinks with some snacks .

Vivienne Gucwa

Get the spicy pecan waffle with chicken . It's perfection. They supply flavored butters as well (rosemary , berry , lemon , etc) which pairs well . The portions are HUGE. The bucket is enough for two!

I really do love Sweet Chick! From the fried chicken & waffles , the vibe & ambience, the soundtrack, the service, the mac n cheese & the cocktails ! Everything is perfect. This is a definite MUST TRY!!

Anibal NuneZ

The place is a solid a good spot. The ritz cracker crusted mac and cheese was very good plus for my first time having chicken and waffles it was exactly what i needed it to be.

Yera Ha

Hands down, one of the best meals I've had in New York. Not on the menu , but you can and should order grits on the side. Don't skip the mac and cheese !

Gigi Thecoast

Eat the vegetarian chicken : amazing. I haven't had chicken in 7 years... I was completely floored!!! Bartender : Amazing! Host (Carson?): awful... The ONLY thing that put a damper on my visit. ????

Amanda Gianninoto

One word: AMAZING! Chicken and waffles are a must. The biscuit and homemade jam is incredible, too. Bloody Mary with burbon or vodka , garnished with bacon . Nuff said!

Vivienne Gucwa

They are generous with portions! Also, they serve French Press coffee which is awesome. The eggs Benedict is a mass of mouth watering chicken , poached eggs , and love on biscuits .

Katharina Schneider

Had the general chicken with waffles and it was heaven on earth. Waiter was super friendly and the place cosy and with good music . Will definitely come back!

Gabriel Hayes

Love the chicken & waffles . Have tons of styles to go with. My favorite one for dinner is the Nashville hot fried chicken with milk jam waffles .

Jason Brew

Great atmosphere, great cocktails and of course the fried chicken is top notch. The specialty chickens are great, but for your first time I think it's best to go with the original

James Marshall

There are a number of soul food places in the LES at this point and Sweet Chick is top of the heap. Chicken and Waffles is a can't miss. Great selection of butters that compliment hot sauce or syrup .

Daniel Malia

Go with the classic chicken and waffles and pour syrup over it. The Nashville hot chicken was underwhelming and not that spicy . Music was very loud , hard to talk. Chairs uncomfortable, tables too high

Leanne Z

Boozy iced tea is right up my alley! Chicken and waffles tastes like a lemony doughnut with flavored berry butter and others. Got a special, fried chicken sandwich . Adorable decor and great service!

samantha hankins

A Williamsburg favorite hits the LES. Different menu than the Williamsburg location with more chicken and waffle options. Again can substitute for the shockingly delicious vegetarian fried chicken !

Sam Jones

Very interesting! And welcomed solo travellers happily sitting by the bar , get in early or book if you want a table but it’s something not to be missed

Honghui Yu

Since this is the only place in NYC I know of that has vegetarian fried chicken , it's the perfect place to have brunch with your vegetarian friend

Ruby Anaya

Best fried chicken ???? in New York. Share the three piece bucket with a friend, coleslaw and mashed potatoes are necessary sides. Oh and the mac and cheese ???? was perfect ????????.

Christian Dickmann

Chicken and Waffels (dried cherry ) were great, really a treat. But the peanut butter cheesecake brownie (layered) was the real surprise. It's amazing. So rich, so delicious.

Sexy LF

Eat the chicken & waffles . They come with three amazing butters (honey lemon , rosemary sage and berry ). You will not regret it his sweet savory dish

Haneen ????

Great staff ! Music playlist is fun just too loud ! Makes it hard to have any conversation! Loved the food “waffle and Chicken ”

Global Highlander

The Manhattan counterpart to the original Sweet Chick in Williamsburg. Be sure to get chicken and waffles or the chicken and waffle sandwich .

Chez Ong

I want to like their chicken but just can't get into the seasoning they use. However their waffles are excellent! Like savory? Get the Parmesan . Want one sweeter? Get the fried cherry .

Kate Furman

Get the chicken and waffles regardless of time of day and smother them in honey and hot sauce . Don't miss the maple cured bacon either.

Allison C.

I always get the chicken and waffles . You must get the 3 butters that (usually) come with it. I also like their “daily” lemonade with Fords gin .

Vania S.

Great chicken and waffles here! If you're feeling indecisive about getting the boozy tea or lemonade of the day, ask for an Arnold Palmer (both mixed together).

Daniel Martin

Perfect chicken waffles with maple sirup.

Karen R

Shrimp and Grits w a side of Waffles ; Lemon , Strawberry , and Herb Butter , Vermont Maple Syrup , Freshly Squeezed OJ

Keith Harvey

Chicken and waffles are on-point, catfish and coleslaw was great too and this drink called the "taildragger" is my favorite drink there.

Varun Shetty

Fried chicken and waffle sandwich . Holy moly. Buy an extra stomach so that you can eat two of these things. They're that good.

Asli S

Shrimp & grits was filling and delicious. Got a taste of the waffles too; they were awesome ????????

Christina Nawabi

Really delicious and unique items . This space is small though, so there may be a wait. And it is fairly pricy , but in my opinion worth it.

Chop Suey Club

Very juicy fried chicken , super eggy waffles paired with blueberry & lemon & mushroom butter. Delicious.

PureWow

Bring your veggie friends--believe it or not, the vegetarian chicken and waffles is every bit as good as the real thing. Read more

Deon D

The chicken is well seasoned. Nice variety of waffles . Great mac and cheese , but the sauce is a bit loose. The lemonade may not be worth the $6. Maybe it's refillable.

Charlottes

Oh my, what's not to like! I wanted everything on the menu but settled for chicken and classic waffles - so so very good! Highly recommended!

Jennifer Haack

Get the Nashville fried chicken . On the spicier side and blends perfectly with the vanilla waffles .

Amy Williams

The chicken and waffles are life changing. Best in all of NYC, hands down. Better than your mamas. Get you some. ????

Nick Ace

A Ludlow restaurant free of pretension. Chicken and waffle mixes that even the most creative person couldn't dream up. Wonderful staff . Great drinks.

Tim Deng

Compound butters were crazy good. Brussel sprouts , shrimp and grits were my favorite sides and the fried chicken is just so crispy .

Mischa

Beware that these guys have 3 menus throughout the day, from 4 to 6 is not the best available bc you will only find less than 5 items in the menu. Try the fried chicken it's their cover letter.

Adam M

Had some great waffles and the Montego Bay , a terrific cocktail made with chocolate whiskey ! Bartender was awesome too.

Clara Eloy

Got the garlic honey ones. Waffles were great, chicken was verrrryyy garlicky. This was all a little too much for me in taste and size

Tiah

Had the chicken and waffles with the cranberry lemonade . Was really good! Dope spot!

Dave Richard

Seriously, this place was incredible... Some of the best shrimp and grits / brunch outside of the south.
