Pies \u2018n\u2019 Thighs debuted in the Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood of Williamsburg in 2006 and quickly garnered a reputation for serving top-notch fried chicken, biscuits, and pies. Twenty years later, the restaurant has doubled its footprint, opening a second location in Brooklyn \u2014 this time in Park Slope.<\/p>\n

Pies \u2018n\u2019 Thighs was founded and is still run by Sarah Sanneh, a New York hospitality veteran who began her career at the Biltmore Room and Milk Bar in Manhattan before serving as pastry chef at Diner and its sister restaurant, Marlow & Sons, in Williamsburg. She wanted Pies \u2018n\u2019 Thighs to strike a balance between indulgent Southern comfort food and intention, focusing on high-quality ingredients and execution. That focus still drives the concept today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve spent 20 years proving that people never get tired of really good fried chicken and hand-rolled biscuits,\u201d Sanneh said. \u201cIt\u2019s American comfort food, and the demand just keeps growing. We\u2019ve created something that works across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, dine-in and delivery, and we got to a place where we knew we could bring that same experience to a new neighborhood without losing what makes Pies \u2018n\u2019 Thighs special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Park Slope store is about 1,600 square feet and situated in a landmarked 1880s building. It was designed by Marc McQuade of Architecture Background Office and preserves some of the structure\u2019s original elements, like exposed brick. There\u2019s a visible kitchen, wraparound banquettes, green cushioned booths, and a mix of white enamel-top and checkerboard tables. All of the ceramic elements inside, including pie-inspired lighting fixtures, were made by Sanneh\u2019s parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The restaurant serves fried chicken, roast chicken, sandwiches, sides, and pies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Park Slope space is a bit more open, which lets us take care of more people, but it still has that warmth,\u201d Sanneh said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re set up for delivery, because we know that\u2019s how a lot of families eat with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Park Slope is a very family-heavy neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The menu in the new space follows the same format as the original. The popular fried chicken box pairs three pieces of chicken with a buttermilk biscuit and a side, like mac & cheese, smoked pork collards, or coleslaw. There\u2019s a chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, and the California-inspired green goddess roast chicken.<\/p>\n

Diners can also skip chicken entirely and opt for catfish with the fried catfish box or catfish sandwich. And there are breakfast items, like eggs, pancakes, and bacon.<\/p>\n

Pies include a classic apple, banana cream, and bourbon pecan, and the restaurant also makes fresh doughnuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat people love about us is that you sit down, you get table service, and you get a generous plate of scratch-made food without thinking twice about the check,\u201d Sanneh said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It took 20 years for a second location, so this isn\u2019t the start of a rapid expansion spree.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we’re focused on making Park Slope feel like home,\u201d Sanneh said. \u201cA focused menu, great hospitality, [and] food that everybody loves at a price point that works. We\u2019ve shown that in Williamsburg for 20 years. We\u2019re excited to see where it goes from here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pies \u2018n\u2019 Thighs debuted in the Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood of Williamsburg in 2006 and quickly garnered a reputation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":188651,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-188650","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-nyc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
