You’ve heard the expression “you eat with your eyes first,” right? Well, I feel like that starts with the restaurant, then the food!
Price 💲💲💲💲 out of 5
On the more pricey side, in my opinion, but it makes sense for the quality of the dishes. Sometimes it takes a few more bucks for a lovely experience!
Ambience 🧑🍳🧑🍳🧑🍳🧑🍳 out of 5
The building itself has me in awe, from the natural lighting brought in by the windows to the cute outside eating patio! Plus, I am a sucker for brick buildings, so I was a bit bummed when I missed out on Water Street Kitchen.

Animal Fries
These were cooked perfectly, not soggy or too crispy, topped with grilled onions, cheese sauce, crumbled bacon and scallions drizzled w/ 1000 island.
If you are familiar with the restaurant “N and Out,” then you’ll probably love these! My uncle said it reminded him of their animal fries, and I quote, “was here for it.”
Chicken and Waffles
Three buttermilk brined chicken fritters, Belgian waffle, & maple syrup w/ one side
My uncle opted for fresh fruit for his side, and he was very excited for this dish due to how nice and crispy the waffle looked. Personally, I am a softer waffle kind of girl, but no matter! He said, “They use a sweeter Belgian waffle, which we loved! Perfect balance of crispy and fluffy.” The poor chicken was “cooked to perfection, too.”
Did I mention they serve breakfast ALL DAY? Not too many places do that nowadays, sadly!
NY Reuben
Thin-sliced NY-style corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, thousand island dressing on toasted marble rye w/ one side
For this one, he opted for the mac and cheese as a side instead. He sadly wasn’t too impressed with the mac and cheese, but the Reuben was a “classic,” overall, a good meal. I’m curious, are you a baked or a soupy kind of mac-and-cheese lover?
Sunday Chicken
Two buttermilk fried chicken fritters, lettuce, tomato, onion & pickle on a toasted brioche bun w/ one side
Fries were his choice of side for this one. The sandwich was a mouthful for sure, due to how large the chicken cutlet was. He enjoyed this as well, but man, was he full!
Experience ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
If you are craving some Southern delicacies and that old-timey brick aesthetic, we recommend adding this to your repertoire. I know I will be swinging by for that all-day breakfast, and maybe their pescatarian options.
