Village Voice: They brought Fried chicken on buttermilk biscuit with gravy and coleslaw, Brasied shortribs on Challah, Seared pork chop on challah, Muffalata and Crispy goat cheese on flauta bread to Choice Eats!
Vince Wong: While I have yet to try Cheeky's signature Fried Chicken biscuit, their braised beef short-rib on challah bread is a great sandwich. It isn't super filling, but it'll surely whet your palate.
Dianna H.: This is one of those places where you actually have a hard time deciding what to get because you want EVERYTHING on the menu. I eventually decided on the short ribs on challah & boy, am I glad I did!

Deborah Au-Yeung: Hackle back caviar and blinis, get them. Bloody Marys - I had one with caraway and another one with fenugreek. Get the classic lox on an everything bagel. Finish with challah bread pudding. Holla!
