Best $11 I've spent this week. Dinner at Pies 'n' Thighs with Shann, Robyn, Greg, and Karen. It's the "Fried Chicken Box" you want. Three pieces of fried chicken (breast, wing, drumstick), a biscuit, and side of your choice.
Side options include: mac n cheese, potato salad, hush puppie, spicy black eye peas, creamed spinach, baked beas, collards, grits, clow slaw, french fries, iceberg, and specials of the day...a clean and crisp Watermelon-Cucumber Salad on our visit.
It's a ton of food for $11, and while this just might be an ok deal in other states, it's a BARGAIN here in NYC. The fried chicken (brined), with it's super crisp crust and tender interior, is excellent, the biscuit - huge, golden and flaky. Sides are a mixed bag. Loved the potato salad, mac n cheese was forgettable, and the watermelon salad proved perfect for a warm summer night. Between the six of us, we split three orders of the Fried Chicken Box, and...
...three pies for dessert. One. Two. Three.
Banana Cream Pie...
...Rhubarb Pie...
...and an Apple Pie with Cheddar (isn't the cheese supposed to go ON TOP of the pie??)All three pies were simply passable, and nothing more. On my next visit, we'll skip the pies and use the stomach space for EXTRA fried chicken!!!
