The fried chicken-loving masses of Williamsburg and beyond waited two long years for this ramshackle restaurant to reopen. Their patience was rewarded with a cozier space, just a few blocks away from the original, decorated with flowers and country-style curios--the perfect setting for Sarah Buck, Carolyn Bane and Erika Geldzahler?s stick-to-your-ribs Southern comfort food. Fried chicken, among the juiciest in New York, is served along with hearty dishes like the pulled pork sandwich and the chicken biscuit (a fried chicken breast tucked between two buttery biscuits), all available with sides like mac ?n? cheese, collard greens and black-eyed peas. For dessert, try the--you guessed it--pie, served by the slice in flavors such as banana cream and chocolate pudding.
