"If you aren’t into the fried chicken at Amy Ruth’s, you need to get your tastebuds checked. The massive Harlem spot (just down the street from Sylvia’s) is full of murals of famous patrons, like Whoopie Goldberg and President Obama. But back to their fried chicken, which you can either get on waffles (our choice), or with sides. It’s near-perfect—thin skin that doesn’t get bogged down with too thick of a flour coating, seasoned down to the bone, and salty on the outside. But don’t sleep on their smothered pork chop, which is breaded, fried, and covered in brown gravy. Get it with cheesy grits and black eyed peas.
