The chicken sandwich (breast) was not what I expected. definitely a bit dry.

The restaurant is pretty dark and loud, you go and order up front. The frozen drinks were pretty frozen that it was hard to drink.

Late night find on a Sunday that was amazing. Birthday day night out, and food was the last thing on our minds, but I am so happy that this was the spot. Nice crowd, ambiance, and the staff was amazing and accommodating. From the bouncer , bartender, food runner, and compliments to the chef. I love fried chicken, and that's what got me to the establishment. The reviews don't lie. Healthy serving, crispy moist,and biscuits with honey butter. Finger licking good.  My daughter, with her high standards on burgers, went for the bacon cheeseburger, and it was a hit. The chicken club ordered by my mom, who is definitely the picky eater, was a 2 thumbs up. Let me not forget that the drinks were really good as well. Frozen mojitos, Pina coladas, and  the Rum Punch hit the spot on all fronts. If you're in the area, this is a definite must try spot. Now, on my list of faves to hit when in the area. Thanks for helping my birthday be tasty!!!

My favorite burger in NYC. Fried chicken, grilled cheese, and biscuits w honey 🍯 butter are also bomb. STI-ridden hipsters loitering in the vicinity of broader Williamsburg can be easily avoided by saying no

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.
