Sweet Chick

Sweet Chick is my new favorite spot for southern food. I had a serious food coma and slept for 4 hours afterward so I can’t come as often as I would like but that just shows how good the food is, am I right?
You walk in to a lively atmosphere with hip-​hop blasting and so much character. We started with the boozy vodka lemonade which I had to stop myself from chugging bc it was SO fresh and delicious.
The chicken and waffles are absolutely perfect. Both waffles & chicken were crispy/​crunchy on the outside and so soft on the inside. I often find fried chicken is dry but Sweet Chick chicken is so moist (I hate that word but I need to give you a full visual) and juicy. I added syrup and hot sauce to mine but I could eat it plain and die happy. Obviously had to get the shrimp and grits as well as a side of mac and cheese (now do you understand the food coma?) I licked the shrimp and grits plate clean. Thick grits, jumbo shrimp and perfectly balanced sauce with peppers and tomatoes topped with a poached egg. The mac and cheese is very heavy and so addicting. The crumbled ritz crackers on top is such a nice touch.
Prices are reasonable, service is great and the food is phenom. I’ll be back soon!

Sweet Chick is awesome! I was so excited to try this place and the day I finally did I was not disappointed. My boyfriend and I went about 6 months ago. I got the macaroni and cheese and he got the chicken and waffles. The Mac and cheese was a big, filling portion. Super creamy and cheese with big shell pasta. I really enjoyed it and I’m veryyyyy critical of my mac and cheese lol my boyfriends chicken and waffles was also really good. The waffle had good flavor and the chicken was juicy and seasoned really well.
I definitely want to come back here and try the pulled pork sandwich. Only negative thing about this place is that I think it’s kind of expensive… for the Brooklyn location, you could get chicken and waffles at another place nearby for like ten bucks less! Still-​would def go back.
Good job Sweet Chick!

It’s a loud bar atmosphere with hip-​hop continually blaring overhead.
The focus of the menu was chicken and waffles. The sweet chick chicken and waffles were pretty good though a more ordinary taste. The chicken was crisp on the outside and the meat inside was moist. I liked eating it with hot sauce. The waffles (I chose apple cinnamon) were good as well. They were accompanied by syrup and three kinds of flavored butter (rosemary, blueberry, and regular.)
The parmigiana chicken was covered with a layer of mozzarella and placed in a small dish with tomato sauce. It came with basil waffles. The waffles were mild and not that different from regular waffles but the parmigiana chicken was much more flavorful with the sauce. I would recommend this dish.
The collard greens were braised simply and studded with craisins. I didn’t taste any meat juices in it. In fact, it was on the drier side for collards, though still good.
I thought the donut ice cream needed work, the red bean gelato sandwiched inbetween was pretty good, but the whole dessert itself was too sweet. The donut had the texture of a dense shortbread, not like a donut at all. There was some sort of sweet drizzle on top and milk jam drizzled around the plate. (I would choose a different dessert than this.)
Otherwise, good meal.

That was my 2 time here. Today I try chicken with Parmesan but I think original is 100% better. I was feeling very full
Also I like Mac and cheese here.

This place is my new found comfort food love!
I’ve seen Nas talk about this place on IG so I finally got myself to go and I was soooo happy I did!
Came in on Memorial Day evening, I recently gave up meat so going in, I was kinda bummed that I was going to miss out on the chicken and waffles but! Wait! These Guys had Vegetarian Chicken and waffles! My eyes nearly fell out my head. I ordered that of course with General tso’s sauce on them over a apple cinnamon waffle… Holy shyt! Was the best meal I had in a while. Our drinks were good too but man, I still can’t stop thinking about those flavors from the main dish. So good! Music and vibe was perfect! Our host and server were dope! Will def be back again.

Really great chicken and waffles. Full of flavor without having loads of grease. Yummy add-​ons for waffles like infused butters.
I had the hush puppies app and they gave you just the right amount to share. Also had the chance to try other apps like the Mac and cheese — delicious but rich, the pulled pork sliders — nice sweetness, and the kimchi pork — tasty.
Small joint but you don’t notice it. I want to return ASAP.

Beautiful space on Orchard St. Their classic chicken and waffles are great. I ordered their granola and I know it’s just granola, but that granola was BOMB. It was so good that I asked for the recipe. Anyways, enough to about the granola.
They have a weekday brunch menu which is always a plus in my book!

I wasted to visited a Southern restaurant in Brooklyn, but we were not far from the Lower East Side, so we decided to come here because of the reviews.
It is a cute little restaurant with very friendly staff! My favorite thing was the ginger beer in a bottle and the waffle! If it were not for the waffle and 3 sides of rosemary, lemon and berry butter, it would have been 2 stars. I could seriously eat the waffles and ginger beer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great waffles!
I ordered the shrimp and grits. They give a hefty portion, but I can make way better shrimp and grits than this restaurant. When I order shrimp and grits, it seriously needs to be way better than mine, or I’m upset. The first thing is, they DROWN the shrimp in a red bell pepper sauce with huge chunks of veggies in it. I took a large spoon and scooped out just about all the sauce out of the bowl I placed it in a saucer cup. The saucer cup was almost full of sauce. I also still had a ton of red bell pepper sauce all over my plate. It sometimes drives me nuts when the sauce is so heavy and then the chef adds a ton of heavy cream to the grits. The grits no longer taste like grits. It taste like overlooked cream of wheat with a ton of milk and heavy cream. Make a decision on which part of the entrée should be very heavy, but don’t do both. The dish was also luke-​warm.
My husband had the fried chickens and waffles. I already raved about the waffles! Order them, they are GREAT! The fried chicken, not so much. I mean, where was the salt? It had the best crispy batter in the world, but definitely lacked salt. Nothing like eating bland chicken.
We enjoyed being there and the service, but definitely not worth going back, except of I order a plate of waffles!!! And ginger beer!

Pretty disappointing overall.
The macaroni and cheese starter was delicious, I’d go back just to order that. The fried chicken was bland though, I really don’t think they seasoned the chicken at all. It was cooked well but didn’t taste good. When we ordered, the waitress recommended the Nashville hot chicken sauce which all of us ended up ordering, but it wasn’t hot, it was just an oily sauce that we were unknowingly charged $ 2 per person for (got that reversed on the bill). The chicken bucket came with a dry biscuit and some mashed potatoes that tasted like air. They also serve small overpriced drinks that are just okay.

This food is bomb! A friend recommended this spot to me for weekday brunch as I was craving it! She recommended he chicken and waffles which is exactly what I got, after getting started with a coffee. They also have three different flavor of butter which were all delicious and hot sauce for the wings. The wings were cooked very well and the seasoning was on point! I love white meat chicken. The waffles were the apple flavored.
While there their credit card system wasn’t working which was unfortunate because I didn’t have cash. I did have to go to the nearest bank which was on Delancey (chase) to get cash but they did give me a friends and family discount which was generous and they did apologize for the inconvenience which I appreciated and understood it was not their fault! Also, didn’t want to take it out on them because the service was commendable as well.
I can’t wait to go back for some more chicken and waffles!

we came here after we found out the wait for Clinton St Bakery was going to be an hour and 30 minutes… i guess basic bitches really do love brunch. Thank goodness the wait for sweet chick was only 20 minutes or i would have lost my damn mind.
the interior of the restaurant is cute, nice homey décor and cramped seating. i wanted to order the eggs benedict, but since it was my first time, i had to go for the chicken and waffles. i was told this chicken was better than root & bone, so i wanted to be the judge of that myself.
the service was prompt. we were greeted by a really tall server with legs i only dream of having. the order came out pretty fast, and included 3 types of butter. i only ate the berry butter since it was the one closest to me (pretty good).
the chicken was moist and tender and very crispy. i think it’s on par with root & bone, but i still like root & bone better. the waffles though were very good. i’m generally not a huge fan of waffles, but these were crispy and light. the whole meal came to about 20 dollars a person, not too bad in my opinion.

The first time I ate at Sweet Chick, it was at the Brooklyn location. I think I started humming during my meal, because I was so joyful from how good the food was.
Since this first time in BK, I’ve been to the LES side location numerous times. I’m so proud to say that it’s just as good
Food/​Drinks: Mac And Cheese — is very good. I typically don’t order an appetizer b/​c I want to make sure that I enjoy the main event. When I do allow myself to over eat, then I get the Mac n Cheese.
Classic Waffle and Fried Chicken — AMAZING!!! The waffle comes out hot and not hard (which is always a risk with waffles). The chicken is perfectly fried and seasoned. It’s so good! It really does make you want to hug or slap someone! When people come here and don’t get the fried chicken; I’m really confused. Once someone told me that «Sweet Chick was ok». I asked did you get the Classic Waffle and Fried Chicken? No response. Exactly! You can’t really review this place if you haven’t tasted this dish. I can’t imagine ordering anything other than this. I might start ordering an extra leg or wing, b/​c I typically have more room for chicken (when I don’t get an appetizer).
Spiked Sweet Tea — is very good, strong but good.
Tiger, Tiger Woods, Y’all — I accidentally order this drink, thinking it was the Spiked Sweet Tea. I didn’t enjoy this one.
Atmosphere: The music is so good. It’s a mix of new and old school hip hop.
Service: Slow at times. It’s typically packed and not staff appropriately. The servers are really nice and doing their best to give the best service given the number of tables they are covering.

A good meal isn’t hard to find in the city, but when you’re expecting ok and get an upgrade, you want to tell someone about it.
I’m familiar with but haven’t been to Sweet Chick in Williamsburg, but a friend suggested we meet at this location on a Friday after work. She made a reservation but we showed up half an hour early and were seated right away. The vibe is fun and loud – don’t come for a quiet romantic night. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful, offering drink recommendations and answering questions about the menu. To drink I had The Lonesome God which was equal parts sweet and spicy. My friend and I split the Sweet Chick Bucket with mashed potatoes as our side, as well as a side of mac and cheese and hush puppies. It was a lot of food but it was worth it. You must get the mac and cheese, I repeat, you must get the mac and cheese. Creamy, chewy, yum. The fried chicken was a success as well. I didn’t finish my entire meal but tired my best without hurting myself.
I highly recommend Sweet Chick – in a deep fried city it manages to stand out, both food wise and service wise.

When chicken meets waffle, something magical happens! At Sweet Chicks, the chicken and waffle brunch, was simply magic! One of the best I have every had, and I will probably be back time and time again to get my chicken and waffle fix!
For $ 16, you get to indulge in your choice of waffle and 2 pc of fried chicken. I highly recommend the spiced pecan waffle, which was so light, and had the perfect crunch of walnuts. The fried chicken was seasoned well, substantial in size, meat was very moist and skin was fried just enough to give you a heart attack. However, after the 1 piece, I wished I had some hot sauce for the 2^nd piece, just to add some pop to the flavor.
Sweet Chicks knows how to butter me up! Because the coolest part of the brunch was the butter! 3 types of butter (lemon, berry and herb) was presented prior to main course. Whatever happened to just regular butter haha I liked the berry butter the best!
Highly recommend Sweet Chicks, especially for weekday brunch when the wait is significantly shorter.

A late night out with my friend brought us to the other side of Varick to hopefully grab a bite to eat at Li-li’s but unfortunately, I believe they shut down. Luckily, Sweet Chick was nearby so we rerouted and landed on the welcoming steps of this bustling eatery. We were seated immediately which was great, considering they were super packed.
The southern fare that is offered on the menu can easily cause your eyes to override your belly. We decided to eat family style and ordered the Mac & Cheese, Crawfish Hush Puppies, Classic Chicken & Waffles and Shrimp & Grits.
The Mac & Cheese is creamy and seasoned well. I wished we ordered two. The Hush Puppies were fluffy and sweet, served with two sauces, a Remoulade and a Jalapeño Jam, both of which enhanced the flavor of the puppies but they could definitely stand on their own, TBH.
The Chicken & Waffles were so good! They were served with a trio of flavored butters, Herbed, Berry and Sweetened. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with crispy skin and juicy meat and the waffles were fluffy and soaked up the syrup provided on the table.
The Shrimp & Grits definitely don’t disappoint. They give you more shrimp than I’ve ever seen in a S&G entrée. We shared every item order but couldn’t finish the Shrimp and Grits so, despite the entrée pricing (servings are large), I believe the appetizers are adequately priced for their size and you could definitely order a couple and share one entrée between two people.
The staff was very accommodating, the ambience lively and the people-​watching is especially interesting during late week nights. As per usual, I ordered some extras to take home amd ordered another set of puppies and mac as well as an order of Cordon Bleu Chicken and Waffles for my boys back home. So far hubby loved his share. We re-​heated in the toaster over, microwaving would be too destructive to both texture and taste. This is NOT your momma’s chicken, it’s your cougar Auntie’s and it’s bomb. Go get you some.

What a great spot! I’ve heard there is a sister join in Billy Burg, so if you’re Brooklyn bound I would definitely check it out. I came here before hitting up a show at Mercury Lounge last night, and couldn’t have been a better choice. I’m on a February Fast, so no fancy cocktails for me, but they have a really diverse list and I can’t wait to come by again in March.
My companion in crime ordered the shrimp and gritz, while I dove into chicken and waffles buffalo style. The waffles had carrot and celery inside to pair with the bbq chicken … just brilliant. The chicken fry was. how can I say this … BRILLIANT! Crispy and crunchy while locking in all the juices for sweet tender meat.
Great atmosphere, like an ol’ mom and pop diner, which is a great vibe in the LES. The restaurant is tucked away on Ludlow street so a bit off the beat and path and that’s the way I like it. Next show I’m down in LES for, Sweet Chick is my spot.

Those waffles? Yeah, there’s crack in them. How did they make ‘em so fluffay?! I think these are legitly the best waffles I’ve had by far. They don’t even need thr powdered sugar, maple syrup or hot sauce (but they do make awesome condiments). Crisped lightly on the outside yet perfectly soft, light & warm on the inside. Yum! And the fried chicken… Oh man, don’t even get me started on how moist the meat is. And the fried batter?! Holy cow, crunchy goodness ya’ll!
Loved the coconut rice pudding. Coconut cream sorting on top of perfect rice pudding & sprinkled w/​toasted coconut flakes & 3 black sesame encrusted shortbread cookies? Oh heyyy, you made my day!
Sweet Chick, you’re exactly what I was looking for. And thanks for offering weekday brunch!

From multi course tastings to fried chicken and waffles, my husband and I had come a long way in how we celebrate Valentine’s Day. If I had known how good the fried chicken and waffles were at Sweet Chick, I would never had wasted money in all the tastings we had gone to! Fried chicken and waffles for every special occasion!
We were joined by two of our closest friends — vday double date.
Crawfish hush puppies — loved the pairing with sweet pepper jam! The order was perfect to be shared among the 4 of us. Served hot and steamy, it was the perfect starter!
Fried chicken with crawfish gravy and kings cake waffles — special of the day in celebration of last week’s Mardi Gras. Savory and sweet on one plate! My husband couldn’t stop raving his dish.
Fried chicken parm with basil, Parmesan waffles — I went back and forth trying to decide if I should go with a sweet option. Ultimately I decided to go down the savory route (I could steal a waffle or two from my husband right?). The tomato sauce had the perfect level of tart and sweetness. The crispy waffles along with the house made lemon honey butter — so so good. Definitely no regret on my choice!
Fried chicken cordon bleu — I had a bite and I definitely look forward to returning to order my own! The sauce was creamy and chicken was so moist!
Donut ice cream sandwich — the flavors change each day. Ours happened to be a chocolate donut with vanilla ice cream and strawberry heart sprinkles. It was okay. But $ 9 for one, I would recommend walking down the block to melt bakery for 2 (they are $ 4.50 each) of their unique ice cream sandwiches instead.
Overall — Try every combo, try the specials. So many varieties, so many choices! But def stick to the chicken and waffles — guaranteed a happy meal!

Give me some more of that waffle please because that was heaven! I came here with some friends on a Saturday for brunch and was thankful that I only had to wait 20 minutes for a table of three. That is almost a miracle with brunch places in the city!
We started off with two bloody Mary’s, one with vodka and one with bourbon. Although I myself am a bourbon fan, I like my Mary’s all vodkaed up! The Bloody Mary came with a spicy punch so highly recommended if you like that kind of kick. It also came with a piece of bacon, celery and a banana pepper. Very good!
As for the food, we got the shrimp and grits which was delicious. It had a good subtle flavor of green peppers and there was a mountain of grits. The stew with the grits perfectly complemented each other. The shrimp was well cooked, soft and tender to the bite. We also got the chicken and waffles and the sweet chick waffles. Both waffles were super soft with a slight hot crisp on the outside. The both had a good amount of sweetness and the fruit on top of the sweet chick waffles were superb. The ricotta that came with the sweet chick waffles was also super interesting, full of the ricotta flavor countered by honey. As for the fried chicken, mmmmmmm so good. Super crisp on the outside, super moist on the inside!
Overall, place served delicious food! It had a great atmosphere and service was attentive. A great pick!

CHICK-​CHICK-​CHICKEN! Yaaasss Please and Thank You. Now THIS is what I’m talkin about! Friends, the fried chicken here is crispy juicy goodness. Waffles perfectly made with an airy interior and perfectly crisp exterior. The shrimp and grits (oh those wonderful grits)… a thing of beauty, licked my damn plate clean. Bloody Mary is top notch — spicy, savory, depth of flavor — not watered down crap. The bourbon bloody mary. truly amazeballs. Don’t bother with the vodka mary. the bourbon mary has changed my life. ;-) lolz.
Been in a bunch of times and wait times can be seriously annoying, but the staff is really great and accomodating and the host Rodney is a doll ;-) (love him!). Go super early for brunch or late and wait won’t be so bad. Weekdays early or late lunch also a good time. Otherwise I’d say make a reservation, especially parties larger than 2.

Nous sommes tombés par hasard après avoir tourné en rond pendant 1 heure à la recherché d’un resto super touristique et conseillé dans les guides. Finalement le destin fait bien les choses car cet endroit à un charme fou avec une cuisine atypique qui change par rapport au dizaines de sandwich mangés depuis 4 jours.
L’accueil est chaleureux, l’ambiance est tamisée et cosy. Leur spécialité est le poulet fris et les gauffres salées. J’ai pris le chiken frie parmesan, mozzarella et gauffres au basilic, c’est juste une tuerie, produits frais, originale (feuilles entières de basilic dans les gauffres.) certes un peu gras avec le fromage mais c’est pas grave à NY la marche nous permet de compenser.
Le prix n’est pas excessif par rapport à ailleurs et je trouve que les tarifs sont bien plus honnêtes car les produits sont frais.
Je met par contre en point négatif aux toilettes, pas extrêmement propre mais je pense que c’est la taré des américain la propreté et je vous déconseille d’y aller avec des enfants la musique y est assez forte.
Franchement endroit incontournable à faire si vous êtes gastronome!!!
PS: les gauffres sont accompagnées de beurre aux myrtilles, beurre salé et banane il me semble, assez originale de manger des gaufres avec du beurre fruité.
