Feeling the hanger coming on, I got on the trusty Yelp app to see what was around. Haberdish has been popping up on my socials for a while now so it piqued my interest. I saw that you could put yourself on the wait list via Yelp (!)... done and done. Parking can be a pain, but if you know the secret spots around NoDa you'll be fine. After checking in with the hostess, I made my way to the beautiful bar to order a cocktail. I decided on the Manhattan, which was deliciously crafted. The interior area was a little crazy and cramped but people were very polite and courteous. I grabbed my drink and made my way out to the front patio area. When my table was ready, they sent a text to my phone.
In terms of food, I ordered the smoked deviled eggs, biscuits with bacon jam, chicken tenders, fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, brocollini with pancetta, and okra with bacon jam. The fried chicken was jammin'. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The chicken tenders were nicely breaded and the ranch was delicious. I was pretty happy with everything. I honestly don't know what would make this place 5-stars for me, but it just wasn't. Maybe a second trip will get that 5th star.
