Went for Chicken Pickin' Wednesday shortly after they opened. Got a made hightop table in front of the bar. Service was good and very attentive. Having never been to SoHo, I was intrigued when they brought out homemade biscuits with some awesome homemade butter and jelly...nice touch.
My order consisted of 2 drumsticks- 1 regular 1 spicy, Mac and Cheese, and mash with gravy. Heard good things about the eggs so we got a snack portion.
Deviled eggs were on point. Great flavor. If I decide to come back, might try the fancier ones.
As far as the chicken goes the meat was cooked and good. Skin was nice and crispy. But, the spicy chicken doesn't fuck around AT ALL. It was a bit ridiculous after one bite and I kind of regretted getting it. Once I got that shit settled I moved on to the rest of the plate and wasn't really blown away.
While the outside skin was for the most part crispy, it seemed as if the chicken could be cooked longer to penetrate whatever they use to coat it with. Both pieces had that kind of raw batter layer underneath still that made the skin seem clumpy.
Mac and cheese was ok. Could have used some salt and pepper. Really did not care for the sweet gravy used on the mashed potatoes either. No beuno for me.
Service was good, food was meh and didn't seem to justify my high bill at the end. In no rush to return any time soon.
