TastyPals Editorial Pick
JW
James Whitfield
Restaurant Critic
“Barley Swine's fried chicken is the honest test of any american restaurant kitchen: brined overnight, dredged once in seasoned flour, and fried in a cast iron — the crust doesn't fall off and the flesh is still moist. Worth a second visit to work through the full menu. Reservations are worth making for weekends; weeknights you can usually walk in.”
