The Scene

Owner Andrew Silverman (City Crab, Steak Frites) has developed a reputation for theme- and decor-driven restaurants that manage to exceed expectations for food and service. An avid collector of Americana, Silverman designed the Chat'n' Chew space in a way that recalls a slightly bumpkinish country diner.

The Food

The menu continues the down-home theme, with solid versions of cream of sweet potato soup, chicken potpie and macaroni and cheese. Those who crave a year-round tryptophan fix will find much to love in the Thanksgiving on a Roll, a turkey sandwich loaded with stuffing and cranberry sauce. To drink, splurge on a $5 milkshake, or opt for the bottomless cups of soda avidly and infinitely refilled by cheery waitresses.
