The Commodore

I came for the fried chicken plate and it delivered. Everything else, maybe not so much. The fried chicken, as promised, is well brined and juicy, crunchy and has a ton of batter (hopefully you like that style). The plate is huge too and I ended up taking half home. The plate comes with biscuits which are ok but tastes like it was cooked a while ago, which is funny since I was there as soon as the kitchen opened at 5pm. The Mac and cheese also seemed to have been made a day ago and was lukewarm. Thankfully it reheats nicely but you don't come to the Commodore to eat food the next day. The atmosphere is that of a typical dingy bar and definitely felt like a low rent place. This feels like a late, late night place. Overall the chicken was great but everything else was eh.

We finally made the pilgrimage to the Commodore for their chicken sandwich during a mini food and drink crawl in Williamsburg. I had a Pilsner will we waited for the sandwich. The atmosphere has a welcoming, local feel. We had the sandwich mild. I'd recommend medium or hot. Lots on a sesame seed bun with shredded lettuce and cucumbers. Chicken is juicy and crispy. I believe a light application of mayo. There were two single occupancy restrooms. Bartender was very quick and our food order came out fairly quickly too.

We looked up a places for Frozen drinks & this was one of the options that came up so we decided to give it a try. we came in & sat at the bar, the place is not very big inside & there wasn't any other seating open. Drinks we started with the Frozen Mojitos they were great, nice taste good on the alcohol. also, tried the The Piña colada not bad but a bit too sweat for my taste so we Stuck with the Mojito. On the food we tried the Grilled cheese sandwich totally hit the spot after a few drinks, nice & buttery good amount of cheese & it wasn't crazy spicy.Since we were seating at the bar , service was good & quick, good music playing cool chill vibe here. Overall we definitely enjoyed our drinks, the Frozen Mojito was great.

Dive bars don't get much better. Find your own seating took a sec but wasn't terrible. Spicy chicken sando was so flavorful and the chicken was crispy/juicy! Drinks were strong

I had the fish tacos and they were fantastic! Service was super friendly. It's really dark in there (as you can see from my photos - one is lightened and one is normal), but it's definitely a place will cool vibes!

I got Doordash from The Commodore. The fried chicken is juicy and delicious. The three large pieces are much larger than what one would receive at KFC or Popeye's. But I was disappointed that the amount of fries was lower than expected. It did not fill up the box. I ordered a large, with árbol sauce and smoked mayo ($11). When I compared what I got vs. pictures of what a large fries plate looks like on premises, I felt a bit short-changed. Also the sauces I received were not accurate, as they gave me honey butter and red sauce, which were still pretty good. And they had my dasher waiting a while before the order was ready. Perhaps it's better in person and on site. The drinks on the menu look good, particularly the Pina colada with amaretto float. Perhaps I will try one day when the weather is warmer.

This spot is known well known for their fried chicken, which are super crispy and juicy. We came here after dinner for drinks, but we couldn't help but get the Fried Chicken Plate ($20) to try even though we were full already. The fried chicken plate come with 3 large pieces of chicken thigh deep fried in such a crispy batter. This is definitely one of the best fried chicken I have had. It also comes with a honey butter and two hot sauces that pair well along with the 3 mini biscuits. I definitely need to come back to try the fried chicken sandwich too. For drinks, there is a nice selection of tiki cocktails. I opted for the Old Fashioned ($16), which was extremely strong. For all service, make your order for food and drinks at the bar. This spot is half bar and half restaurant, which is quite interesting in the dark atmosphere inside. On the outside, there's also a bunch of lawn chairs and tables to enjoy as well. Definitely a busy spot, but get the fried chicken!

Stopped by to try the chicken sandwich, which was recommended to us. While the sando wasn't too spicy, it was very flavorful and paired great with the half sour pickles that came on it. The vibe here is pretty chill, like being on island time! Lots of frozen drink cocktail options, which is perfect for a hot spring / summer day in NYC. The prices were fairly reasonable (some cheap beer options) and the service was friendly too. Will be back again!

Came with a group of 4 at around 10:30 on a weeknight and the place was packed, but we managed to grab a booth (thanks to a friendly employee who was looking out for us). I got a frozen pina colada, and we shared burgers, queso and fries. Burger was absolutely fantastic, and the queso was perfect. Fried were also great. The cocktail was the only meh thing, so I'll try other drinks next time. Overall, the Commodore is a great bar with particularly awesome food!!I need to get the fried chicken next time. 4.5 stars.

Sexy as hell vibe in here! Rap, hip-hop, old school R & B, Rihanna. This place was packed...when we walked in at 11:45 PM, we looked around and like all tables were taken. This chicken bar/restaurant is so fire. Eventually people left and we got a booth! Yay!What did I like? Mild breast sandwich. Hands down. Still dreaming of it. Such a delicious meal. Yum. My friend got the adult grilled cheese which was alright. It definitely had some heat. We also had the large french fries which came with ketchup and hot sauce. We ended up getting drinks: Trailways (grapefruit, vodka) and Pina colada. Not bad. Would I go back? Yes. For the love of chicken!
