Bobwhite Counter
“The fried chicken sandwich was minimally dressed, just a big ol' filet with pickles and sandwiched between a buttered toasted bun, but oh man, it was sooo good!”
“We sat at the bar and ordered the supper for four (because I'm dating a human garbage disposal who eats for three).”
“Quaint, hip, curiously-named, classic southern fried chicken joint in Alphabet City.”

On the second stop of the weekend, we went for lunch at BobWhites. It is a very very small setting, with high tops for only about 16 people, and a small bar. It is cozy, with a clean/crisp feel.
It is classic southern food. I got a biscuit and a mac n cheese, and both were delicious. Everyone loved the fried chicken. Truly classic good souther food, you really can't go wrong. While I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way in NYC to come by here, if you are in the area, it is definitely worth getting some good frieeeeeeed food.
Omg drooool. I'm nervous to write about how great this place is for fear of jinxing it!
Came here on a Friday night around 9pm. Lucked out and didn't have to wait as a spot had just opened up. But after us came a few parties that had to wait 10-15 minutes. It's a relatively small place that looks like it seats 15-20 people max. But food comes out quick and is well worth the wait.
We shared the friend chicken supper (3 pieces with biscuit and cole slaw), mac n cheese (thick and creamy), and onion rings (which was a ginormous plate). Everything was SO TASTY. Like my mouth is watering as I'm writing this a remembering it. The best part? All of that food only cost us $23!
Service was fine. Atmosphere was nice – dim candle lights, good for a date night. I saw that they deliver too!.. if only I lived closer, sigh!
I really like this place. Good, solid fried chicken and biscuits. The cole slaw tastes really fresh. The pieces of chicken are big and juicy – generous portions. But having lived in the South, still not the BEST chicken and biscuits I've ever had. I really like the ambience of the restaurant and the employees and music choices are really cool. It's not the kind of setting you expect from a fried chicken place. I've never had fried chicken in candlelight! They also say they close at 10PM, but they take customers up until then because I arrived at 9:30 and did not leave until after they closed as did a few other tables, so I liked that I wasn't rushed. The only thing is that it's so out-of-the-way on Ave C. I'm so happy they've opened a West Village location!
Had catfish sandwich and fries today. Haven't had catfish in a while so this was a good choice! It hit the spot!
The catfish is cooked to perfection. It has good taste and is juicy. The fries are steak fries, but good and crispy too.
They have Founders IPA. Anyone who has Founders should get an extra star, but yelp only allows 6!
Delicious fried chicken way out in alphabet city. Aspect I like most about the chicken here is that their chicken tastes really fresh. The thin breading definitely contributes to the added flavor. Lastly would recommend asking for lots of hot sauce because that's the only way fried chicken should be eaten
I have been hearing and reading that you had to look no further than Bobwhite for the city's best fried chicken, and while that is always a difficult claim to substantiate, it may very well be true in this case. I ordered the 3 piece supper and my friend and I split a mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was sharp, ooey-gooey, and perfect in every way. And the chicken was on another level. Crispy, crackly skin and the juiciest meat you could ask for in each bite. Not to mention the crisp cole slaw and flaky, buttery biscuit that came along with it. I will be back here as often as I can while still keeping my arteries in proper working order.
This place is really small with very uncomfortable seating but the food really makes up for it. Got the chicken sandwich and some Mac and cheese. The chicken was really yummy, very juicy. The Mac and cheese was good but I could do without it. I will definitely be back for that chicken sandwich.
I love this place. From the service to the decor and lastly, to the food.
It is not stressed enough how damn good their fried chicken is. It's so good, I'm practically drooling right now just thinking about it. And the last time I had this was in February.
For a party of three people, we all decided to get the Fried for 4, best decision of the night. It came with 3 sides, slaw, 4 biscuits, and 12 pieces of heavenly fried chicken.
The skin was crunchy and seasoned, the meat itself is juicy and flavorful, all in all, amazing fried chicken. Add some of that honey tabasco and it's even better.
Their biscuits are also worth mentioning, it was the favorite part of the meal for my friend actually.
Must go try, despite the trek, it's well worth it, I assure you.
