The Spis take
A 45-year-old family-run grill bar frozen in early-'90s amber, serving the great Danish classics — the flæskesteg, the shooting-star sandwich — in huge portions with cold, cheap beer. Utterly unhip in the hippest part of town, and all the more lovable for it.
People say
Chicky Grill is a long-running (40+ years), family-run traditional Danish grill-bar on Halmtorvet in the Meatpacking District, beloved as a nostalgic time-capsule that has barely changed since the early 1990s amid the area's trendier newcomers. Reviewers praise generous, well-seasoned classic Danish dishes — the flæskesteg (crispy-skinned roast pork) and hakkebøf (minced-beef steak with caramelized onions) are favorites — at prices considered cheap for Copenhagen. Seating is limited and fills fast, so arriving early or booking after 5pm is advised.
