Handmade comfort food, born in Brooklyn
Just a couple of chefs who love fried chicken and feeding people
Pies ‘n’ Thighs was born in a concrete yard surrounded by barbed wire, in the back of a Williamsburg dive bar.
It definitely wasn’t fancy but it brought friends and neighbors together to eat and connect — and that’s what it was all about.
And somehow, it worked.

A neighborhood staple, 20 years on
Things are different now: we have two real dining rooms, professional servers, a broad menu of comfort classics, and proper ventilation.
What hasn’t changed? Our love for our community, making food from scratch, and having lots of fun along the way.
