WE SAY: Down-home, darn-tooten, finger-licken, southern fried, comfort food. Stop into this cute lunch-counter for great rotisserie chicken, wings, coleslaw, or an avocado rueben. You'll love the food, then hate yourself for all the hours you'll have to put in at the gym to work it off.

From Village Voice
"Located across from the sprawling but admittedly lackluster McCarren Park (where the world's largest outdoor pool was closed permanently in the early '80s when non-whites started using it), Union Picnic provides exemplary fried chicken, sandwiches, composed salads, banana pudding, and a fabulous fried fish sandwich."
From New York Magazine:
"Expect Southern cooking but not always Southern hospitality at this no-frills country kitchen in Williamsburg. When the phone lines are buzzing with takeout orders, the wait staff tends to get a little surly. But the in-house diners, who are used to being dissed by Williamsburg barkeeps and bouncers, don't seem to mind. They just tuck into heaping plates of buttermilk fried chicken, bounce along to the Dolly Parton ditty on the hi-fi, and clink BYOB brews with their friends. The menu sticks mostly below the Mason-Dixie, with appetizers like fried okra and sweet potato fries preceding box dinners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, sweet purple `slaw and a chunk of crumbly cornbread. And the hung-over brunch crowd can't get enough of the Elvis Toast: a French toast sandwich stuffed with peanut butter and banana. -Jon Steinberg [Recommended Dishes: Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and corn bread (8.95) chicken fried steak (10.95), fried okra ($3.75)]"
