Description
Serving New York since 1990, James Beard-nominated chef Charles Gabriel’s chicken is prepared in a traditional pan-fried style. While many praise the crispy exterior, experiences can vary; late-night orders sometimes lack crispness or suffer from inconsistent seasoning. Beyond poultry, the menu features massive portions of Southern comfort foods, including Sunday and Tuesday catfish specials, savory okra, and a lightly sweet cornbread. The staff is famously warm, though service can run slow.
