Pies ‘N’ Thighs on South 4th Street in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood has been one of New York City’s most celebrated Southern comfort food restaurants since it opened, combining a serious fried chicken program with scratch-made Southern biscuits, pies, and the comfort food that earns a Brooklyn restaurant its national food media reputation in a borough that takes its food culture seriously. It appeared in Season 16, Episode 8 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Decadent Dishes,” which aired February 18, 2013. Guy Fieri found a Williamsburg kitchen doing Southern food with the quality and scratch commitment that makes people cross borough lines specifically for the fried chicken and the pie.

What to Eat
The Fried Chicken — brined, seasoned, and fried to the crisp that earns a Brooklyn restaurant its Southern reputation — is the centerpiece and the reason the name says “thighs.” The Biscuits made from scratch and served warm with butter and honey are the morning item that earns Pies ‘N’ Thighs its brunch crowd alongside the fried chicken lunch and dinner following. The House-Made Pies rotating daily — fruit, cream, and custard — are the dessert that gives the restaurant the first half of its name and that closes every proper visit. The Chicken Biscuit Sandwich with fried chicken on a house-made biscuit with hot sauce and honey is the crossover item that brings both signature elements together on one plate.
