"As its onomatopoeic name suggests, Bawk! by Urban Roots is known for its hot chicken and should be the primary choice to satisfy any cravings, whether that means crispy wings piled atop a cornmeal waffle or served alongside whipped yams, red beans and rice, or mac and cheese. But Bawk! also delivers a grown-and-sexy ambiance that makes it just as appropriate for date night as it is for a gossipy Sunday brunch with the crew. Both occasions benefit from a revolving drink menu (the American River “bawktail” is a heady mix of rye, cacao, amaro, and peach bitters) and vibrating jams. If you can, stop by when Bawk! invites a DJ to spin sultry tunes and elevate the dining experience." - Tamerra Griffin
