  • Reserve Ahead for Peak Times

    The Elizabeth Street dining room fills up fast during peak lunch and dinner hours, occasionally leading to queues outside. Book your table in advance to skip the sidewalk wait and guarantee a booth.

  • Check Combo Rules Before Ordering

    The popular 'All the good stuff' combo packs generous wings, sandwiches, and sides at great value, but kitchen policy permits strictly no substitutions. Assemble your order à la carte if diners in your group require custom burger builds.

  • Calibrate Your Heat Tolerance

    Heat levels span a wide spectrum from non-spicy salted chicken for zero-heat tolerances up to Actually Hot and off-menu challenges. Gauge your comfort zone before locking in wings or sandwich orders.
