I should have known when I walked into this restaurant on 1st street. There's this lingering smell of burnt popcorn. The chicken was ok after I pulled off the burnt/popcorn overly breaded mess.
Been coming here for years, very solid casual spot for fried chicken. I’ve done the sandwiches and last night I did a leg & thigh combo. The chicken is crispy and the sauces make a nice companion. One last thing… the FRIES! They are crispy, thin and perfectly salted. I’ve had a bunch of mediocre fries with my meals recently, and these were so tasty, I devoured them. I’m always down for popping into BRFC when I’m in need of some casual food before a night of getting drinks with friends.

Tenders were completely unseasoned. Not sure if there was a mistake or what. They just tasted like hot, old oil. Coleslaw is sour. Fries are decent but again, unseasoned. This place is expensive as hell and not good.

Finger licking good. I've never had it like this. The in-the-works fries were so good and their new chicken cutlet sandwich with mash and stuffing was so good. The new sides on the menu also look very tasty. Maybe I'll order again tonight. Good job. Keep it up. I was very satisfied and surprised. 10 out of 10.
Updated: Sometime around Dec 10. 24, reevaluated: downgraded, 4 stars.
Ordered the same sandwich but it tasted different and was very sloppy.
This restaurant is a bit unpredictable. If it's busy, the quality of the food drops.
The best time to order is when there's no rush.
Oh, and please, even if you're busy, always seal those delivery bags properly.

This place is nice. I give it a 3 out of 5 stars because the pricing was a little high. The fries could’ve been bigger for $6.50. The buffalo sandwich could’ve had lettuce and tomatoes. I also got the vanilla milkshake with oreos on the top, (extra $1.00 charge) they should’ve crushed the oreos up. Overall this place is pretty good, just a few tweaks needed. I would recommend.

Chicken is trash. I mean it’s great quality, it just tastes MILD ASF! No herbs, no spices, just caveman chicken. Never coming back, I’m good this was the second time this has happened. Fries are trash too.

I ordered food here, then decided to go to the toilet, but threw away the receipt. I asked this woman in the photo to tell me the code, she refused me, although I made an order 15 minutes ago and spent 50 dollars. In the end, I had to spend more than 10 minutes to finally find the code
It’s not good service

What a disappointment! The chicken is not tender and has no flavor. Sad to have wasted my money here
The chicken is out standing ,I tried the Buffalo chicken sandwich and to my surprise is was good but not the best buffalo chicken in the city but I must say all the food is worth your dollar if your ever in New York City Come to this establishment 🎖️

So disappointed. A lot of hype around this place but has to be the driest, underseasoned chicken I have tried. The heat from the spicy chicken sandwich just comes from the pickled peppers on top, the meat itself doesn’t add anything. Can’t believe I spent so much for this.
