Pies-n-Thighs

pies n thighs is dope. you gotta save room for the banana cream pie after you’ve eaten the chicken box. all of it nom nom nom.
the chicken was really good; the skin was glorious. I told the waitress no wings, but my third piece was a weird frozen fillet that didnt have the same freshly fried skin and feel too it. Maybe play it safe with getting a wing or win the lottery of three PHAT pieces. I got the mac and cheese as my side, which was solid. The highlight was def the buttery ass biscuit. shit was fire. Tristan could barely finish his plate, but he got the iceberg salad, which he liked and he liked the chicken and biscuit!
Next, tristan opted for the bourbon pecan pie. He said it was really good, but i tried it and was not a fan. I am sure he was just lying because the bourbon in that was SO strong. Overall, fast service (no water refills tho) and good food/​ambiance.

I went to Pies & Thighs earlier and these pies will make you get thighs! Their biscuit is amazing and they have a decent chicken and waffle. But the best chicken and waffle place is still Sweet Chick, in my opinion. Our server was nice! And so was the atmosphere.

Delicious fried chicken.
The place is small but the staff is great and very attentive.
Definitely satisfied the fried chicken craving and will come again, for sure.

The food was delicious. My friend and I live in the neighborhood and we decided to have some brunch on a Saturday afternoon. We waited half an hour which is actually a pretty short wait time. People come out pretty quickly since the area has a decent amount of space inside. There is a spot outside to sit when you are waiting but Williamsburg is fun to walk around so that did not bother us.
The employees are wonderful and the food was delicious. I ordered waffles with fried chicken. The fried chicken was delicious and the waffles with the peaches made everything even better. The prices are reasonable. I will definetely be coming back here. My cousins and I are planning to come here for dinner someday.

This place is hip and trendy. Very laid back food is delicious especially the biscuits with honey. Chicken fish and grits are very good too

Meh is just about right. 2.5 stars for the food, 1 star for the service. Here’s why.
It’s a beautiful Friday night, the kind for date nights at new restaurants you’ve always wanted to try, the kind that have good food. This place has been on our list for a while and since hubby wanted some fried chicken, why not?! We got there around 8:30pm and were seated right away. The place was full but not over crowded. We ordered drinks, I had the strawberry lemonade, hubby the sweet tea. Both were good so points for that. What I didn’t like is when the waiter brought the drinks and he spilled hubby’s sweet tea all over the table and his napkin and just walked away. Strike 1.
Hubby got the chicken box and I got the chicken biscuit, with 2 sides of corn bread and a side of cole slaw to share. Dope I’ve heard good reviews for everything and we are starving. This leads me to my first point-​if you are very hungry don’t come here thinking you will get food right away. We waited for a while, I’m not sure how long to be honest, probably more than 25 mins for our orders to come. I could deal with that because it’s chicken and it needs to be cooked properly. Then this is where it gets weird. When the waiter comes to bring the food, he literally slides hubby’s plate across his face, so that the chicken and the rest of his food is touching his face. The kicker-​he laughs about it and then apologizes. You know he got told off and almost got choked out to be honest. Strike 2. It put a foul mood for the remainder of the meal. My chicken biscuit was actually pretty good though, but I didn’t care for the cole slaw which seemed to have bread crumbs or something mixed in, or the corn bread which was very dry and hard. Hubby wasn’t a fan of the chicken box, he said 1 piece of chicken was good but the rest was flavorless and dry. His cornbread was also dry and he didn’t even try the biscuit. By then it was just time to go. I know everyone raves that this place has the best chicken in the world but honestly I think it’s just an overrated hipster dive. Definitely will not be back.

My favorite restaurant right now in NYC. I’m from the south so I appreciate a good southern meal often.
I’ve visited this place multiple times and ordered the fish and grits, chicken biscuit, macaroni and cheese, banana cream pie, bourbon pecan pie, and apple pie.
I like the laid back atmosphere of the restaurant as well with the school chairs they have as seats. The service here isn’t bad for the most part. When I was there a couple days ago the waiter seemed as if he had better things to do. The food was good enough for me to ignore his attitude though. This place is better than sweet chick on my opinion.
If you’re in the mood for good please stop by!

Such a great place to drop into when visiting Williamsburg. Sure it’s a little off the beaten track, but it’s well worth wandering down to.
My friend & I ventured here after a long day out in Coney Island spent shuffling around in the cold March air. Fried chicken was just what we felt like & Pies-​n-​Thighs gave it to us in all it’s chicken’y glory. We each had the Fried Chicken Box & at $ 14.50, who could argue.
The service here is very fast & the staff are wonderfully friendly.
Next time I’m coming back for pie!

Love! Just had to come in today for the fried chicken. It’s such a cute little shop in Williamsburg off the crowded bar area by the bridge.
I had the fried chicken box ($ 14?)which includes 3 pieces, a giant biscuit and a side of your choosing. Hush puppies were great w the right mayo pickle sauce. The sweet tea is not too sweet just how I wanted for a hot summer day.
They also have a variety of southern food like fried green tomatoes which you don’t find in many shops in New York. As well as drinks.
Need to try their pies nxt time for sure!

If you don’t like fried chicken or pie then I feel so so sorry for you because you may not enjoy the wonderment of Pies-​n-​Thighs.
Service is super friendly and was very quick. Within seconds of walking in we were greeted and seated, and I noticed most everyone else who came in after me was greeted promptly. The food, especially that mac and cheese, is delicious.
The one sore spot for me was my S’mores Pie. It came covered in melted marshmallow that tasted like the lighter fluid from the torch they used. It made the otherwise good pie pretty gross and left a bad taste in my mouth literally and figuratively.

Pies over thighs.
This spot is famous, a must go, all of it. I concur. But probably for different reasons than most folks say.
If you are vegetarian or pescatarian (like me), please note, you will have a very different experience than your carnivorous friends.
I had a bunch of their cookies last year at an event and I STILL remember the ginger molasses. Amazing… I can’t wait to try one of their pies in the future… After my brunch there, the sweets still win over the savory. I would have given 3 stars, but for my cookie experience.
During this long weekend, we walked to Willyburg to make room for P-​n-​T brunch. The Renegade drink (lemon, ginger, agave) was so refreshing after that hour walk (spouse and I shared one).
I finally tried the Hippie Banjo. It was good and flavorful — not draw dropping… I wouldn’t return for it. My issue with their savory: Their hot sauce is not hot. I wish they had a sauce with real kick.
Spouse ordered the chicken and biscuit with the gravy and he was floored. He loved it and said it was the perfect quantity. He didn’t want more and he didn’t feel like he ate too much. I’m SO glad he got to engorge in his meat AND I can’t wait to come back for dinner one day to try the sides like mac n’ cheese, collards, etc… which I hear are amazeballs.
Until then, I’m a real fan of their sweets. This is a once-​twice a year type spot for 5′ foot me. I’m still struggling to fit into my current pants while Unilocaling.

World Famous!
I sure love a good pie, especially when it’s paired with some great thighs. I started obsessing over pie and thighs back when I was a teenager. Fast forward to over 30 years later and I’m still obsessing over some pies and thighs. So, guess where we decided to eat while we were in Brooklyn. That’s Pies-​n-​Thighs, of course.
So, here’s the deal. This place is easy to locate, but hard to find if that makes any sense. The store front before opening is gated/​covered with no sign, no marque, and no hint that it’s even a restaurant. I even had to check out a few Unilocal photos of the store front to make sure that we were at the right spot.
Once opened, we were immediately seated. I browsed through their menu and opted for their Chicken & Waffles and Egg Breakfast (Eggs, Biscuit, & Grits). I didn’t find anything great about their chicken, waffles, eggs, and grits. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not horrible, just nothing really special. But their biscuits. My goodness, the biscuits. The biscuits was the highlight and worth the visit. Pies-​n-​Thighs has some of the best biscuits that I have ever had. The biscuits were so good that I even forgot about the pie. Bottom line, Pies-​n-​Thighs is worth the visit just for their biscuit alone. Peace Out!!!
2016 Unilocal Review #30

Yes. Go here. Now.
We stopped in for brunch after hearing how awesome they are from just about EVERYONE. No disappointments here!
I ordered the chicken and waffles. I don’t even know where to start in describing this deliciousness. The chicken might be the best fried chicken I’ve ever experienced. The cinnamon butter was so good! I wanted a vat of it. The syrup is a real, legit, lumberjack syrup. It all made me so happy!
My friend had the burnt ends. So. Good! You can’t go wrong with the morsels of meat in beans. She also had the breakfast biscuit. Yum.
The atmosphere is nothing to write home about. It’s small and nothing fancy. But it totally fits. Who wants fancy with their meat and pies? Not I, said the duck!

GET THE BISCUIT, BABY!
We showed up before they opened on a recent Saturday morning and thought we may have been at the wrong place. There is no signage out front, but it’s where our Lyft driver dropped us off so this must be the place, right? Since we were there before everyone else, we were first in the doors: winning. And, we got sat next to some outlets: score! One thing that happens when you’re visiting NYC is that you’re paranoid about battery life on your cellphone, even if you have a Mophie. So, the b/​f and I were able to chow down and charge simultaneously.
We shared the Chicken and Waffles plus I started with that biscuit. Just get one, slather butter, pour honey, and devour with power. I should have had another one because now I dream about that damn biscuit. I really enjoyed the fried chicken, tender and juicy, but the waffles were just alright. But, again, get the biscuit.

Very good restaurant. Interesting layout with almost three parts to it.
The wine was served in a small opaque plastic glass that diners use to serve orange juice. Sigh… oh well (quietly crying inside).
Delicious chicken not overly salty nor greasy, and the collard greens are good. Not too vinegary like most soul food places tend to make it (don’t get me started). The macaroni n cheese: delicious. The catfish is lightly fried and tasty. The biscuits are the absolute best. Try them with honey, you won’t be sorry. They are perfectly flaky and not dry.
I like the fact that we were eating in the middle of an old Fire House and could people watch through the the open garage door. Nice touch.
Key lime, banana cream and pecan pie had perfect crust and delicious fillings, and the coffee was hearty and rich.
I do not usually like donuts. I prefer pies. Donuts seemed like fried cake for my taste. Their signature Butter Pecan Crunch donut is moist, fluffy with the best fresh ingredients and not oily at all! The donut was better than the pies! Everyone must try their donut!
The hipster ambiance + biscuits + donuts = 5 stars. The dinner + the fixings = 4 stars. P n T = A solid establishment whose name sets the itinerary for a delicious experience.

Un très bon donut au sucre, bonne applepie, bon bacon etc. tout bon, tout frais :)
Super petit déj avec café à volonté comme dans les diners
Cadre sympa mais serveurs un peu mous
C’est tout petit, alors le Week end, pensez à réserver.

It pains me a bit to round my experience to 3 stars, but hear me out. Food wise I’d give it a solid 4, but as for the rushed service it was a major turnoff. I’ve had this place on my radar do a while now, but finally made it in for brunch. We arrived around 11:00 am, with maybe about 1 party waiting outside. Luckily we waited only about 5 – 10 minutes for our party of 4 (with 1 baby) to be seated.
We all ordered the Fried Chicken Box: 3 pcs chicken, biscuit and side. The chicken was fried well, but not seasoned too much. It’s not dressed with Tabasco/​honey (disappointing), but those condiments are given to make your own sauce. The huge soft biscuit was the BEST part and should be the standard of how they’re done. The side of home fries was actually done and seasoned well. The sausage gravy side is nice to dip the biscuit in. The sausage patty side seems freshly made, but has a distinct flavor that seems a bit off.
Our waiter started taking away our plates, but my sister was still eating and using her husband’s sauce on his plate and just asked to leave his there. He’s shocked (as if we just just committed a party foul) and puts the plate down and walked away silently which made it really awkward. We debated getting pie (the Unilocal photos look amazing) but our waiter didn’t even bother asking if we wanted anything else and once again seemed shocked that we actually considered. They had wanted one of our tables to accommodate a large party of 8 next and seemed to want to rush us out. HUGE turnoff, so we ended up passing on it.
I’m glad I finally can check this off my bucket list, but don’t think I’ll be coming back anytime soon. I can do without the whole immature silent treatment and attempt to rush us out at the end.

My cousin and I were looking for dinner in Williamsburg and since this was bookmarked and the time was appropriate, we headed to Pies-​n-​thighs.
The place is so tiny that they use all the space available for dining. The waiting area is outside on the sidewalk and the host comes to the door. This spot is not an option on a cold day! We were skipped by the host twice as well. I don’t know if she thought we put in a name already but we were confused. The next time she came to the door we said, «we want a table too!» she sincerely apologized for overlooking us and sat us next, but it was weird and unwelcoming upon entry.
The food was pretty good. I ordered the fried chicken box with Mac n chz. 3 very healthy sized pieces of fried chicken and the biscuit was so dry but big and good when you add the honey already on the table. The mac n chz looks wack but it’s actually good. Very cheesy but I didn’t like the fact that they dump hot sauce right in the middle of it. I am not a fan of spicy things. I would have asked for it without the hot sauce if I knew. Did I overlook that in the menu? Or was it just not described. Well if it’s not, it should be because it was definitely an unwanted shocker.
The service was wack. The server took our drink order, brought the drinks, then took our food order. After that, he never came back to the table. When we needed something we just had to grab anyone’s attention who looked like they worked there because there was no type of uniform or apron. It took a while for them to realize we weren’t being tended to, but at then end they tried to show us a little attention. They were all nice but it was just not good service.
The sangria was disgusting. Pies-​N-​Thighs, the sangria needs some love. I never send drinks back but I had to. I ordered the Pinot Grigio instead.
Cute place but not the best first experience.

I love fried chicken and I love pies, so I had to come try this place on a recent trip to NYC. My bf and I got here about 5 minutes after opening, and there were already about 3 groups seated. The place looks a lot bigger than it is from the outside, but still pretty cozy. We ordered the fried chicken box that came with three pieces of chicken, a biscuit and a side. We’re fans of biscuits and gravy, so we had to go with the sausage gravy as our side.
The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. My bf even ate the skin, which he normally takes off and gives to me. I split the biscuit open and smothered it in the gravy, which had nice chunks of sausage in it. It was definitely a nice comfort meal to get us full for walking around the city. We finished off the meal with a slice of banana cream pie.
Once we finished eating about 45 minutes later, the place was packed and there were people waiting for tables outside. Definitely come early if you want to beat the wait.

Delicious fried chicken! We got the three chicken and biscuit meal and added a side of sausage gravy since we were debating between the biscuits and gravy. We also had the banana cream pie which was light and yummy.
The skin had a good salty taste, the pie was yummy and the gravy was great. The biscuit was one of the better ones I’ve had this far. We got here early on a Saturday for the brunch menu. When we were leaving there was already a wait which to me would affect my mood and star rating. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds. Still a yummy place and would def check out when in the mood for fried chicken!

Omg. Chicken biscuit was so yummy. Simple yet delicious. Fried pickles were average. Slightly under seasoned. Couldn’t taste much. Have to come back to try more!

Went Sunday for Brunch. Waited about an hour to be seated which would have been fine if the hostess hadn’t skipped us on her sheet. Finally, after 3 parties I KNOW came after us I went to ask for an update and she says «oh yeah. you can follow me». I was a bit annoyed. When we got to our seat, I was sooooo happy the music was great. They played R&B/hip hop. Only problem was, they kept skipping songs half way through them. A bit distracting. I ordered the 3piece chicken box with sausage gravy as my side. The food was great. I’ve def had better friends chicken before but that damn sausage gravy and biscuit will make you slap your momma and apologize on a full stomach… okay! Our waiter was terrribllleeeeee. For one, we still don’t know his name. It was like pinching pennies to find him! We needed napkins, spoons, forks, a damn refill, honey, hot sauce & his ass was nowhere to be found. When he finally did pop up, it was to check on the table next to us (I.E they were an older white couple & we are mid twenty African Americans with natural Afros.) We waved him down and he comes over with this boring ass, unfriendly energy and finally helped us. But why did he have another waitress bring it to us, and the crazy girl brought over two napkins. WE ARE EATING GREASY ASS FRIED CHICKEN WITH BISCUITS. YOU ALREADY DIDNT BRING US OUR UTENSILS IN THE FIRST PLACE SO CLEARLY YOU EXPECTED US TO EAT WITH OUR FINGERS LIKE THE ANIMALS YOU TREATED US LIKE THE ENTIRE SO IM JUSY BAFFLED. CLEARLY we need more than two napkins.
So, we’re finally done eating & we needed to go boxes & of course Mr Clue was nowhere to be found. I ended up having to go find him and ask him for it. He came back with the boxes but no damn bags to put it in so I had to go find Mr. Clue AGAIN! So the genius comes back with the paper bags, one already ripped. I was OVERRR HIM. But since I’m a good Saint & I know what it like to work off of tips (even though my service was never as horrendous as his), I left Mr. Clue a %15 tip. HE DIDNT DESERVE A PENNY! He still doesn’t know how our food was bc the genius didn’t bother to ask one time. As we left I told the hostess, «the food was great, tel our waiter since his sorry ass didn’t ask»
Mr Clue had on a plaid shirt & a hat. He could’ve easily been a main character in the movie «dude where’s my car» except he wasn’t funny whatsoever. May he soon and very soon find a passion in his life and pursuit it, for it is not in the service, hospitality industry.
Peace

When we arrived there was a horrible stench outside of the restaurant. It was the dumpster located on the side of the restaurant about 20 feet from the entrance. It smelled similar to the odor coming from a live poultry market. It was very nauseating. Once you get past the odor the restaurant was so welcoming, very small, but very friendly. The chicken biscuit was delish, it’s a must try. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, mixed with homemade hot sauce and honey butter. The pancakes were good and so were the grits. The donuts are a real yummy treat.

Finally, we were able to go here on a Saturday brunch. Parking around the area was surprisingly easy, and we didn’t even have to wait for a table. We went here around 1030am and was able to be seated in their roomy space at the back of the restaurant. They have 3 rooms inside the restaurant, and it’s not a surprise if the place is filled up by afternoon.
Now about the food… The Chicken and Waffles is really good. Chicken stays crispy, and the waffles are not soggy. The cinnamon butter on top of the waffles is ok, and frankly not needed. If you’re craving for chicken, this — is — the — place!
My husband ordered their Pork Chop and said it was good, although a bit on the salty side. But the biscuits and gravy is just right! We were stuffed by the time we had to leave, and was not able to taste their pies, which were equally popular. That will be for another trip. Will definitely go back.

Cool southern inspired hipsteresqe small corner store spot serving up simple but well done southern classics. There’s not much here that I can say that already hasn’t been stated or touched on. With that being said, I had the catfish plate which was actually really fresh, well seasoned and perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned and not the least bit greasy, hush puppies were tasty and light, mac and cheese was decent and cornbread was slightly sweet and properly cooked. Good spot, nice atmosphere and not overly priced.

The fried chicken is bomb! If I can give just a review on that, it’d be a hit. However, the waffles that accompany the chicken was dry and not tasteless (even with the cinnamon butter). The Rob Evans had an amazing biscuit but oh my the sausage gravy was extremely salty!!! Lastly, the fried pickles had a thick batter to a point where the pickle flavor and texture was lost.
If I can have a whole plate of the fried chicken though… that’d be heavenly!

Chicken aint have no flava son like whadddup tho
This that miley Cyrus fried chicken its light in the ass
I need to break down my grandmama recipe for you cause that shit was nasty

This place is so good I had to review it as soon as I got home. Came here on a freezing Sunday morning for brunch just when it opened. We were seated in the back by the window which was freezing we had to keep our jackets on to eat that’s how cold it was. Thankfully the food made up for the cold. We ordered the Rob Evans and Chicken and waffles with a side of homefries. The biscuits and gravy was delicious though a little heavy but thats expected with a gravy dish. The chicken was moist and perfectly fried with juices flowing out of it (reminds me of buttermilk chanel) the waffles were to crispy for my taste but my GF enjoyed it though I did like the jam on top not overly sweet. My favorite part was the dessert which was banana cream pie, it tastes like the Magnolia Bakery banana cream pie the only thing that set it apart was the crust. It was a hard yet very different crust which I loved and I prefer just eating the crust instead but all together it was amazing. Like a fat ass I took the coffee filled donut to go since I was to full to eat it there but as I’m writing this review I’m eating it and it doesn’t taste like a donut but a cake and not to sweet either.

Chicken biscuit: 3 stars.
Service: 2 stars.
Chocolate pie: 100,235,192 stars
Before my trip to NYC last weekend, I got a text from my friend Kara asking «so what are your thoughts on fried chicken?» Fast forward a few days, and this brings us to Pies –n– Thighs.
The service: not the best. Really not the best. The Addams family would have been more warm and welcoming. The host acted as though she hated her life, and us by extension. Yikes. We were seated after a half hour wait at a table for two — which would have been fine, except there were three of us. There was a bench on the wall that went around two sides of the table and a chair was thrown on the third side. It would have been tight and still worked, had there not been a ledge with several potted plants jutting out right at neck level above my side of the bench. I was basically forced to hunch over on my elbows with my chin 5 inches above the table to avoid getting whacked in the back of the neck by a porcelain rooster. We quickly decided this was not going to work, given that our table had very little surface area to begin with, and was now also covered with half of my torso. A table a bit larger opened up behind us and we asked our waiter if we could move. He disappeared for 10 minutes and returned with the host, who acted as though we had kicked her dog and not simply asked to move to a table that wouldn’t lead to a diagnosis of adult-​onset scoliosis. New Yorkers, man.
The Chicken biscuit: Melissa and I elected to split the chicken biscuit after having had a huge breakfast a few hours before. Good, but not great. In most places, any sort of «spicy chicken» that is put on a sandwich or a biscuit equates something similar to a Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich where the breading is, well, actually spicy. Apparently in New York, «spicy» means «dump honey and hot sauce on this thing until it oozes.» It wasn’t bad, but it was weird. Would I pay for it again? Probably not. Wendy’s is cheaper.
The chocolate pudding pie: Am I allowed to say it was better than sex on Unilocal?Does Unilocal allow this sort of language? I’m going to give it a shot because WOW. I wanted to cry it was so good and immediately resented my two friends for sharing it with me.
TL;DR — Go for the pie and hit up Wendy’s afterwards.

Good for brunch. Biscuits are good. I really enjoyed. There was about a 20min wait when u went on a Saturday around 1.

Oh Pies-​n-​Thighs — how do I love thee?
Ahh kiddin. I ain’t gonna go on a lovefest. I just cannot believe I never reviewed this place! I been so many times.
Well, whatever. Its a very cozy, funky spot that serves tasty foods and desserts as well as some boozy drinx. I don’t think they have full bar stuff, but thats a very good thing.
Their focus is on their southern-​based (North Carolina) chickens n fishes — breaded of course to deter the gluten-​free mofos. And they have those things like black eyed peas and greens, mashed potato… And a brisket that is like shoe leather! (Perhaps you enjoy shoe leather).
I love their catfish, chicken, cole slaw, and their various pies. THe wait is long, the prices are low, the staff is charming and attentive. Whenever people would come visit in the past, I would drag them there. And although they would enjoy it, I realized I should probably mix it up a bit! I suppose I… could bring them to the McDonalds on Broadway and Havemeyer.

It’s the best fried chicken I’ve ever encountered! Juicy full of flavor and perfectly fried. The chicken fried steak was also spectacular. Super flaky biscuits, amazing Mac and cheese…
The bourbon Pecan pie… speechless!

Nice little Southern oasis in the middle of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The name of the place speaks for itself. It serves up delicious pies and thighs. The fried chicken here is legendary. I ordered the fried chicken box, which is a plate of 3 pieces of fried chicken with your choice of side dish. The skin is nicely breaded and seasoned, while the meat underneath is still very juicy. For the side I had the sausage gravy. It was sooo rich and thick, I know I’m gonna need to do overtime at the gym to work that off LOL. I also ordered a plate of mashed potatoes as a second side dish, and they were among the creamiest and smoothest potatoes I’ve had.
Definitely plan for a hardcore workout after you visit Pies & Thighs :)

How can you go wrong with a little bit of pie and lots of thighs?! This restaurant is tiny with limited seating so it may not be good for big groups. The staff is very laid back and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Whenever I eat at locations with chicken and waffles, I automatically feel obligated to order it. For $ 13 bucks, it comes with two pieces of fried chicken and two buckwheat waffles topped with cinnamon butter & maple cranberries. The dish wasn’t bad but it did not wow me. I found the chicken to be a bit on the dry side and the maple cranberries were a bit mushy. I really enjoyed the buttermilk mashed potatoes as an extra side.
My colleague ordered the Fried Chicken Box which came with 3 pieces of chicken, a biscuit with a side of mac n cheese. It looked like a better choice because the chicken was juicy and the biscuit was a plus !
For dessert, I ordered a slice of the peanut butter pie. I highly recommend it for peanut butter lovers !

First impression walking in very intimate (aka tiny) place. We sat down and the bus boy finished cleaning the table next to us. Now for JUCIYNESS
FOOD:
The Biscuits were great. The chicken was good (just a tad dry). The mac was ok just put a couple drops of hot sauce (and it goes from a 3 to a 4). Dont come in with high expectation. Its not true southern food. Its just a place to say you tried. I love the fact that i didn’t have to pay extra for white meat (i hate dark meat). Being that its in brooklyn (and living in brooklyn all my life) the quality of food is not that great in most places. So this place was a breathe of fresh air.
Service
service was great. I just wish they would not wipe all the tables with a nasty musty rag that leaves the table smelling stink

Walked into pies and thighs after being referred by countless friends. This place is pretty neat. Southern comfort food that truly is an authentic taste local to Brooklyn New York.
To start, im being a star generous in this review. It is a true 3.5 to me. But I am seriously nitpicking certain items that most probably wouldn’t mind, but I did. I’ll explain below.
We arrive on a Saturday night at 5:20. Put our name in to the hostess and was told 15 – 20 minutes. No big deal. Well Park the car. Parked it, came back, waited another 30minutes on top of the 10. I get it, it’s small and a hit, no points docked their. What kinda irritated our group of four was the hostess and the way she assisted the waiting patrons. She wouldn’t give a direct answer for anything. It was always ‘oh they are clearing your table, should be about ten minutes’. How does clearing a table take that long? This group then proceeded to wait and she kept over explaining and justifying the wait. Like, we get it, you’re busy, just tell us ‘sorry it’s going to be a little longer’., there was two groups of four, two groups of two and a party of six waiting with us all getting frustrated on how this worker couldn’t give a straight answer, she literally just talked with no substance… Maybe I’m harsh, but it was frustrating to all of us waiting. Finally we get in, seated in the back, cool atmosphere, I actually really really liked it. We got served water and received a very simple and basic menu that capitalizes on mass production without sacrificing quality. Our table outed two chicken and waffles with two chicken boxes and a superbowl (3sides with cornbread). I will say, the chicken boxes were too expectation… The chicken and waffles surpassed my expectations. I don’t think the fried chicken is anything special compared to good southern comfort food… But where it excelled is the waffles and cranberries were so dang good. It was the perfect flavor perfect portion at a perfect price point. Everything came out quickly as they mass fry chicken… An issue could be inconsistent fresh pieces and older… One individual got a cold piece and another that was scorching hot. Not a big deal In my opinion. It’s totally forgivable.
This place is the real deal that capitizles on all of New Yorks demographics (whether you’re a yuppie, hipster, or average citizen… You’ll go to this place and recommend it).
I think the downfall to me was the way we had to wait. I’d like to think it was only us, but every party was annoyed with the hostess.
Regardless, these shortcomings are forgiven making me love this place

My Tennessee dad and I stopped into Pies-​n-​Thighs on his recent trip to visit me in NYC, and we only had the pie — so please forgive me for not being able to review «the thigh». As a lover of every piece of fried chicken God ever made, I’m sure that I will return soon. But the southern-​influenced pie was excellent, and perfectly accompanied by a nice cup of coffee. We chose the coconut pie and the pecan pie. The pecan pie was a fairly small piece and very traditional in taste and recipe. The coconut pie slice was larger and really excellent.
I’m still thinking about that chicken and biscuit, so I’ll be back soon.

I havent read through enough of these reviews, but Im going to bet there are some who came to Pies and Thighs that grew up in the south. They snidely look at a joint in Brklyn thats entire sell is fried chicken, knowing theyre going to find an unnecessary basil leaf somewhere. But I am here to tell you, as someone that grew up in Charleston, who knows southern food:
Pies and Thighs EASILY has some of the best friend chicken I have ever had. Like that Busta Rhymes song, Like WHOA!
$ 14 .50 for the chicken basket, you get 3 pieces of a mix that you can specify. I got two thighs and a leg. Along with their stacked, beautiful, delicious biscuit and a side, which ended up being the Sesame Kale Salad.
It was the best meal I had in Williamsburg. Seriously. The chicken fell off the bone and just melted in my mouth. The skin was seasoned so perfectly. I wasnt thick and bready like most fried chicken youll find in restaurants. The biscuit was thick with the exterior having this interesting little crisp to it. With honey, oh my god, it was so good. The kale salad supremely complimented the fried chicken. I didnt want anything heavy like mac and cheese, so the lightly seasoned perfect helping of the sesame kale salad was so delicious.
The server was delightful and helpful. I dined alone, and he was still so attentive to me.
Besides home cooked fried chicken, I am hard pressed to even think of a place down here in Charleston that matches the deliciousness of Pies and Thighs. In fact, before I came to NY, I had a little debate with my colleague about biscuits here in the south. I almost texted her that I found a place damn near 800 miles away that STILL has better biscuits than the place we were debating here in Charleston! Same goes for the fried chicken.
Well done Pies and Thighs – you guys got a good thing going for real!

Delicious and decently priced for brunch!
We ordered the chicken biscuit. The chicken itself (more like a well-​made chicken patty) was good, but didn’t seem nearly as good as the friend chicken that goes with the chicken and waffles or the chicken box (which is what I thought would come on the biscuit).
We also split a simple egg breakfast. The pancakes were super good and I really enjoyed the homefries.
Highly recommend this place for brunch — will order the fried chicken the next time I go and update this review!

I don’t really get Chicken & Waffles. Just don’t really appreciate the benefit of pairing these two foods. Nevertheless, that’s what I ordered. I’ve been to Roscoe’s (in LA) a few times, but never by choice. I’d say that this place is pretty comparable. The fried chicken here is great. Cooked well, not greasy, and I didn’t feel bad after eating it. I actually preferred the waffles to Roscoe’s.
I did like the donut. It’s pretty big… I’d recommend sharing.
Wait can be brutal. I wouldn’t wait more than 20min to eat here.

Ordered: Fried chicken box with mac and cheese, Super bowl, and Bourbon pecan pie a la mode
Pros – The chicken had the perfect amount of saltiness and a soft skin. The meat was juicy inside. The mac and cheese had a great texture and level of cheesiness. The mac and cheese came with hot sauce which gave it a nice kick. The pie had a nice balance between sweet and salty. The bourbon added a nice zing. The grits had a good consistency.
Cons – The cornbread was a bit dry. We were seated by the door and even with the indoor heaters, I was still cold.

You cannot go wrong with the fried chicken and pies here. The restaurant’s food certainly lives up to the name.
I split the fried chicken box which came with fried chicken, a biscuit, and a side. The chicken’s breading was salty and savory. The inside was super juicy. The biscuit was buttery and flakey. It easily pulled apart into layers. We opted for mac n cheese as our side. It was pretty balanced. It was a little gooey but not overwhelmingly so.
We also split the super bowl with included three sides and cornbread. The cornbread was soft and had that grainy texture you look for in cornbread. I felt that the biscuit was a better choice. We also had the hush puppies as well as the cheese grits. Surprisingly, the cheese grits were finished first amongst our table.
For dessert, we split the bourbon pecan pie. The incorporation of bourbon was well executed. It added a decadent woodiness as opposed to the typical overbearing smokiness bourbon usually adds when cooked with. We had the pie with a scoop of ice cream which made for a delicious contrast between the hot pie and the cold ice cream. This contrast proliferated the bourbon flavor and also expanded the texture profile.
I’d rate Pies-​n-​Thighs four and a half stars.

Came for lunch around 2pm and no wait! Service was great and the food was delicious! Food did take a little longer than expected but maybe it’s because I was starving! I shared the chicken biscuit, country fried steak, a side of Mac and cheese, and two a la carte fried chicken. It was definitely more than enough food. I love that they provide a bottle of hot sauce on the table and honey! My favorite was the chicken skin! So crispy and not oily. I recommend getting the fried chicken rather than the biscuit. The sandwich was too much for me although it was yummmy.

Unilocalers seem to love Pies-​n-​Thighs. Me, a vegetarian, in a fried-​chicken joint? I wanted to see if they had anything to offer for non-​meat eaters, so I tried it out myself when I was in Brooklyn last week.
The restaurant is a diner. It has all the décor, furniture, and feel of a diner. My server was nice and attentive. The seating is sparse, so I’d recommend coming in smaller groups to try it out first, or come at an odd hour.
I ordered the fried brussel sprouts and squash salad appetizer and a side of corn bread. The brussel sprouts were really delicious and nicely fried. However, my meal was too oily and rich. The food didn’t sit right in my stomach, and I had stomach pains for hours afterwards. I wonder if they cook their vegetarian meals on the same skillets as their meat dishes. I really hope they separate them or clean the utensils and cookware.
I’m glad I know that there are options for me, but I’m not sure I’ll be coming back here anytime soon. The food should not be eaten regularly if you care at all about your health. (!!)

I just ate some of the juiciest chicken ever… Served with a huge buttery biscuit where you can almost peel the layers like a croissant. Highly recommend the chicken box. It’s a generous portion, 3 pieces of fried chicken which was perfect to share between the 2 of us (didn’t wanna just overload on chicken). We picked a side of cheesy grits, not-​mind blowing but definitely yummy with a nice kick from the salsa. Also ordered the scramble with sour cream and Brussels sprouts, which was an interesting combo. The best part is it comes with another biscuit. Ordered a side of fruit salad (grapefruit and oranges), gives a refreshing break from the greasiness. Ended with a slice of banana cream pie as per popular Unilocal recommendation, but I thought it was a little lackluster and «normal» compared to a slice of the same pie from Petee’s pie. The crust wasn’t flaky and buttery, the custard tasted a touch artificial. Maybe we should’ve gone for one of the tempting donuts in the display case.
The restaurant probably seats around 30 people. It’s super casual, the staff and other diners were chill. Almost feels like dining at a small neighborhood joint, very charming. We waited 30 min at noon on a Saturday. Get there early and be rewarded with delicious southern comfort food.

Allright. my wife just gave this place excellent reviews and still raves about it but I’ll be real — it didn’t meet my expectations and it wasn’t worth it’s hype.
The chicken was good, the sides were delicious but I can’t say that if you hid a piece of KFC or Popeyes drumstick onto my plate, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to tell. All of this at the expense of being destroyed by mosquitoes/​bugs + minimum 1-​hour wait? I don’t think I’d come back again… maybe take out, next time?

Came here during my last visit to NY. My party of 3 came around 2ish and were shocked that the wait was still around 45 minutes! I guess the place is just that good. We got seated in the back area so don’t be deceived when you first walk in, there will be room for you and your party.
I ordered the scramble special with a side of potatoes. The biscuit is SO GOOD! I loved it. My boyfriend got the chicken box. I tried some of his fried chicken and it was really tasty too. Definitely recommend coming. You won’t be disappointed

My buddy and I stopped by this place on a Monday night. The place was pretty busy, but we were seated right away in the back. We got the chicken box and the chicken and waffles with a side of cheesy grits. The food was on point. The fried chicken was delicious (not the best I’ve had in my life, but certainly solid). Crispy skin with moist, tender chicken inside. They have a bottle of honey, ketchup, and hot sauce on every table. Don’t forget to use the condiments!
The biscuit that came in the chicken box was awesome. It was last the thing I ate because I didn’t want to fill up on biscuit before eating all the chicken, so by the time I got to it I was stuffed. But man, it was good.
The sides were good, but not amazing. Tried the french fries and cheesy grits. The fries were more fast food style (I was expecting more home made hand cut fries). The cheesy grits were tasty and cheesy, but not mind blowing. I liked the waffles, but they are definitely not a Belgium style waffle. A little dryer and less chewy.
The place was clean and service was friendly and efficient. Plus they have pint cans of Bells Two-​Hearted ale (which I love). All in all I would definitely recommend this place if you are craving some fried chicken.

I can see why this place is called pies and thighs because eating here will surely increase the size of your thighs!
The food here was extremely Southern and very comforting. I decided to go with a classic, the chicken biscuit sandwich and the mac n’ cheese as a side. The chicken biscuit is smothered in hot sauce and butter and is oh so good! The sandwich may not appear to look filling to the eyes but the biscuit is very fulfilling along with the chicken. I highly recommend this signature dish. The mac n’ cheese was also an excellent blend of cheeses and southern spices. I enjoyed every bit of this food and the term «itis» went into full effect here as I literally felt like falling asleep on the table inside of the restaurant. I never get like that but the food was so good a wave of exhaustion came over me I couldn’t believe it. I definitely received a nice dose of southern comfort here. I will definitely be returning here! Cant wait to wait to come back!

Three words: Believe the hype! Often times when ppl rave about places, I try and am unfortunately underwhelmed. That def wasn’t the case here. I ordered the chicken biscuit and a side of scrambled eggs. Both were über oralgasmic! The sauce on the chicken biscuit is amazeballs. I was slightly bummed when my server said they didn’t have strawberry jelly but he decided to go the extra mile and bring me some strawberry compote. I would give two extra stars for that if I could. Excellent service is really priceless.
I’m sure you can tell I will be back and highly suggest giving it a try. They are a pretty poppin spot so there is a chance there will be a wait. It’s well worth it though!!!

Pies N Thighs totally blew my mind. I visited this place as part of the «Williamsburg Bites» tour from Like A Local — highly recommended, by the way.
The wait at this place usually tops two hours, but our fried chicken, biscuits and grits magically appeared and we ate on the stoop of a nearby townhouse, just like true Brooklynites. (I think sitting outside made it taste better.) The fried chicken was some of the best I’ve had, and the biscuits were top-​notch. Popeye’s has NOTHING on this place.
I want to return and try some of the pies, especially the sour cherry and bourbon pecan. Hnnnng.

Brunch parfait !
Cadre très chaleureux avec des murs de briques et nourriture délicieuse !
En ce dimanche j’ai pris un orange juice, la tomato pie et pour finir la pecan pie, c’était un sans faute. C’est frais, goûteux et en quantité très satisfaisantes. Pour né rien gâcher, le service est irréprochable. excellent rapport qualité prix.
Je recommande vraiment cet endroit !

J’ai pris les fried green tomatoes et les hush puppies, les deux étaient bons, spécialement avec les sauces (tartare et je né sais plus).
Ces deux «sides» font largement un plat, j’ai fini par gourmandise.
La part de tarte bluebarb (blueberry-​rhubarbe) à emporter, très bonne!
Mauvais point: 40min d’attente alors qu’on nous en avait annoncé 20.

Le chicken & waffle de chez Pies’n Thighs (14 $ 15) est très original et est plutôt pas mal.
La gauffre est au sarrasin, ce qui lui donne un goût assez unique accompagné de la sauce de fruits rouges et de beurre à la cannelle. Je n’en mangerai pas souvent mais c’était une surprise ! Moi qui m’attendais juste à du sirop d’érable et à une gaufre simple.
Ces assaisonnements sont assez étonnant et le poulet frit est bon, ni trop fade, ni trop sec.
Pas le meilleur poulet frit de NY pour moi qui reste Buttermilk channel !
Le restaurant est tout petit et étroit mais vous pouvez très bien commander à emporter.

Très bonne southern food chez Pies n’ tighs, cela m’a rappelé mon séjour en Caroline du nord il y a quelques années.
J’ai goûté le «Cchicken and waffles» … Du poulet frit, des gaufres, du beurre à la cannelle et des fruits frais. Pas léger léger on est d’accord. Complètement régressif et comfort food, on est d’accord aussi. Mais c’était booon. Le poulet était fermier, parfaitement cuit, pas si gras qu’on pouvait le craindre, mais au contraire bien croustillant., Les gaufres sont copieuses, peut-​être un poil sèches à mon goût, mais bien parfumées… et le beurre à la cannelle… Mioum.
Ma comparse a choisi un Hippie banjo: oeuf, cheddar, avocat, tomate, pousses germées sur du pain, c’était frais et très bon.
Nous avons pris un doughnut et un cookie à emporter. J’ai ainsi goûté le doughnut old fashion: simplement saupoudré de sucre et de cannelle. J’ai été très surprise car il né ressemble en rien à un dougnut industriel, ça ressemblait plus à la consistance d’un gâteau, plus nourrissant et moins gras que ce que j’avais pu goûter ailleurs. Délicieux ! D’autres parfums encore plus décadants existent…
Bref une très bonne adresse authentique que je recommande.

Nach einer langen Anreise von Deutschland über JFK und gefühlten 35 U-​Bahn-​Stationen sind wir hier eingekehrt. Das Ambiente ist ganz nett, nichts außergewöhnlich, aber doch gemütlich. Das Essen ist Diner-​Like. Viel chicken und Burger. Letzterer war recht lecker in Medium-​rare.
Da man hier in Williamsburg ist, darf man sich dem Hisptertum voll hingeben. Man wird voll mit rockiger Mukke beschallt, man kann sich dennoch noch unterhalten. Die Bedienung ist freundlich, aber nicht die Schnellste. Gezahlt haben wir zusammen knapp 80 $ für fünf Personen. Vom Hibiskussaft war ich nicht angetan, dafür vom «OJ». Für Sonntagabend ist hier noch recht viel los. Naja, kann man sich geben.

Long temps d attente pour un brunch southern de qualite. Le poulet est crispy a souhait et vraiment yummy. A refaire.

Petite salle sympa
Service rapide
Cuisine de poulet frit plutôt pas mal mais tres sucré

Cozy, downright homey place that still manages to retain an all american diner feel. Staff was friendly and attentive and our orders came pretty fast.
The food was good overall. The fried chicken is delicious, with great seasoning. Definitely some of the best chicken I ever had. The Mac and cheese were good, but nothing special. The biscuits were a little too dry for my tastes, but it could be they were a little older.
If you’re in the area you should drop by if you’re a sucker for chicken.
