“ Solid choice for a fried chicken sandwich! Perfect walking distance for me on R street, love coming here for lunch and sitting outside. The chicken sandwich breading, crispyness and sauce were fantastic. Love the waffle fries and the beer selection. 8/10 ”

“ Bawk! has delicious chicken great place to check out with a couple friends during the spring and summer. Once heaters are added to their outdoor seating during the fall/winter, I'll become a regular customer! They were even shucking oysters! thought that was cool. Service was fast and good experience I'll bring my friends to this place again ”

“ Last minute decision / randomly stumbled upon Bawk! and I'm glad we did and got to try it out. It's located on the same strip as Ace of Spades and there's street parking and a paid parking lot across the street. We got some raw & grilled oysters and it was either what they call their chicken nuggets or chicken strips. I forgot but it was delicious - tender, flavorful, and juicy. The oysters were tasty as well. Friendly staff, yummy food, and great vibes. Would come back and check out their other items. ”

“ Bawk gives all the good vibes. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. I love the casual convenience option to order at the counter. (Great for groups! No need to do bill splitting at the table) The food is just as good as the ambiance. I ordered the chicken & waffles and it did not disappoint! My husband ordered a fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich was well seasoned and crispy; just how we like it. I also love the late hours. We will be back soon! ”

“ We had a holiday party at bawk by urban roots. When we entered the restaurant and were greeted by staff. The staff had us seated in the party area. We ordered chicken sandwiches, fries and chicken wings. The food was delicious and very fresh. I ordered a bawk cider drink. It had bourbon, ginger beer, lime aromatic bitters. The drink was phenomenal. The ambiance is customer friendly and a lot of seating. ”

“ Everything was delicious here, as usual! Last time I visited, I had to opt for the chicken and waffles, since I hadn't tried it yet. It didn't disappoint! The portion sizes were pretty generous, and I even ended up taking some chicken home. My partner ordered the chicken sandwich per his usual, and loved it Just as much the umpteenth time around. This will always be my go-to chicken spot when I'm in Midtown Sacramento; the owner and staff are always top notch, and it's busy which is always a good sign! The artwork and decor are also super inviting. Seating is fairly limited considering the crowds they draw, so get there early! ”

“ OMW This Black owned chicken spot is a Crispy, Well Seasoned, lesson in all the Fried Chicken! After an afternoon of tree hugging in the Desert Botanical Garden(Yes, it's a real thing) we stumbled upon this chicken spot located near the capital in Sacramento. Graffiti laden walls, black booths, and great music welcome you into a space that is a perfect mesh between chicken Shack and eclectic bar. Best of all, the food matches the energy! Bawk! Offers an array of chicken heavy options. From all things chicken, fried, sandwiched, salad, oysters and cauliflower bits(to break it up a little bit) peppered with classic southern side dishes. The best part, is that it is all done very well, with great service to round the experience out. Mr. Barnyard pimp ordered the party wings in Lemon pepper, with a side of collard greens and a chicken taco(He couldn't resist) The wings were a whirlwind of flavor and arrived freshly fried and pipping hot! The wings were also a surprisingly nice sized, seeing how we had arrived during their Happy Hour! This is a great way to keep business flowing during the lulling hours of 2 to 5! The collard greens were tender, juicy, and overflowing with Chunks of smoked turkey meat(seriously, we almost picked the bowl clean)! Your favorite Culled Hen, ordered the Bawk Bites. Dark meat bites tossed in a flavor of your choice. You know I live Spicy before the Lord, and got my bites tossed in their Nashville Hot sauce! When I tell you, these "bites" were more like juicy chin dripping, quartered chicken thighs! They were everything!!!! Crispy on the outside, Smothered in a sweet, spicy sauce that builds in intensity with each voluptuous bite! Served along fluffy waffle fries and a slice of white bread to suck it all up!!! Plus, the portions were so big, it didn't leave us any room to delve into there Big Back Desserts! My heart hurt If you live in the Sacramento area and have not visited this gem; shame on you! If you every have the opportunity to visit, don't cheat yourself. CHECK IT OUT! ”

“ From the service to the food everything about Bawk screams cream of the crop. I had one of the best fried chicken sandwiches today. The batter was perfect, the chicken thigh was juicy and cooked just right. The slaw and pickles were a great touch on it as well. Went with the Nashville hot flavor. It was spicy but still enjoyable. By the end of the sandwich the heat was picking up. The speakers were playing some older Kendrick Lamar which was fitting since the day before Drake was playing 'tough guy' as the Sacramento Kings and DeMar DeRozan were in Toronto. Very fitting music choice! This place is tuned in to the culture. The food here is a great representation of that and I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. ”

“ Go here for the happy hour! The happy hour menu is 10/10! What I ordered/thoughts: - Garden Party non-alcoholic drink ($10) - not exciting, skip and just do a soda instead. - Fried Chicken Sandwich - I ordered it spicy. Wished I just ordered it regular because the spicy sauce made the chicken and the bun super soggy. - Party wings, lemon pepper - This was so good and I would totally order this again. - Chicken greek salad - This was good and exceeded expectations. - Oysters - I preferred the raw ones over the grilled ones. Wish they came on a platter with ice because it was kind of warm when it got to my table. ”

“ I liked the vibes & decor but this spot is next to some tough competition with other decent eateries around it. Will be back when I'm craving a chicken sandwich & go spicier for sure. Food: 4/5 Fried chicken sandwich- 3/5 You have a choice of thigh or breast for the sandwich along with heat. I went for the maple hot which is a sweet/spicy option. Wish it were a bit spicier. Next time I'll got hotter. Emphasis on the pickles so if you don't like pickles I'd for sure get them without or on the side! Ranch- 3/5 Ordered a side to help with the heat/fries. Crisscut fries- 4/5 Well salted & crunchy. Service: 5/5 Super helpful & greeted by multiple employees when walking in. Ambiance: 4/5 Booth seating, table seating & a bar. Also a speakeasy within the place. Decent for a larger group but the music is a bit loud. ”
