Tiki Chick's brunch draws a crowd big enough to overwhelm its footprint: The Infatuation's Upper West Side brunch guide reports that 'every single seat in the small, tropical-themed bar fills up, and the party even spills onto the sidewalk patio out front.'
That overflow-to-the-sidewalk pattern points to a walk-in, first-come scene rather than a reservation system, per the same Infatuation guide, with the small interior footprint being the main driver of the crowding.
