“ Wow wow wow. This place was had the best wings ever. At first I thought the price was a bit high for four wings but when they came I understood why as they are so big! The hot chicken burger was also amazing and the service was great. ”
“ Remember the old school diners in NYC where there was something for everyone? This has that but even more. It is better than diner food but plenty of classics. It is a great place for big groups and a great place to dine solo. Great grocery selection to go and huge menu of things for meat lovers and an amazing VEGAN selection. I mean amazing amazing. Great seating indoors and outdoors. Everything is homemade and delicious. The best part is the owner is there and it feels like she cares about making sure it is perfect. No bland corporate chain here. This is old school hospitality with a menu that has everything anyone could want. LOVE THIS so much. ”
“ The Pochetta sandwich was definitely worth the hype. It had a good combination of lean meat and crunchy skin in each bite. There was alos enough leftover pork for another meal! The hot chicken sandwich was great but not that spicy (and I ordered the spiciest option). I will have to come back to try other sandwiches and desserts. ”
“ This was a short trip to NY & this place was a last-minute choice. Between this and another place close by, im glad we picked this place. The food & drinks were amazing! The atmosphere was very chill & there weren't many ppl there besides the ppl at the bar. The wings & the Maryland crab dip was everything! I'm definitely going back to this place when I visit NY again. ”
“ Stumbled upon this restaurant before we went to a brewery to have brunch. The menu is expansive and has all sorts of dishes. I got the Classic along with a matzah ball soup. Their fried chicken biscuits and gravy was tasty too but just a lot to finish. My pup was able to join us which was nice. ”
