“I usually visit Dave’s Hot Chicken at 7th Ave Brooklyn.
This time we went so late that it was just 40 minutes left in closing and they had put all the tables and chairs away (means the dine in was closed already) but the girl at the counter was so nice that she not only allowed us to take the chairs and sit but also suggested us to rate them on app to get a free drink (everyone loves free stuff..right??)
The food and atmosphere is always always so good. We love to go there at least twice a month (as far from our place). Highly recommended especially if you are looking for some good halal food.“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Cauldron Chicken is a small, tucked-away spot in Greenwich Village with flavor that rivals anywhere in the city. Don’t be fooled by the tiny venue—the food carries a rich history and a punch of spice you won’t forget.

Legend has it that Dao Kou roasted chicken dates back to the 18th century, during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, giving this dish a history of over 300 years. That tradition is alive and well here. The chicken literally falls off the bone, tender and perfectly cooked. The spices are out of this world—deep, aromatic, and layered in a way that makes every bite addictive.

It was so good, I even asked for extra spice mix to take home. If you’re a fan of bold flavors and food with a story behind it, Cauldron Chicken is a must-try. Tiny place, big history, unforgettable taste.“

“Got the tenders and fries, the chicken was super juicy and tender and the seasoning on it was enough to eat in its own but the sauces brought it to another level. The fries were crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside and also seasoned to perfection. This is a must go if youre in the area“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Loved this place! Walked by it a million times and never went in, decided to try it out recently and was very pleased with this local restaurant. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries which were both delicious and very generous portions. An added bonus was the friendly and welcoming service!“

“Got the chicken lunch box which costed $10 (came out to $10.88 after tax). It came with rice on the side along with salad. Salad was a bit too vinegary and the chicken tasted too sweet. Didn’t really like how the chicken tasted and the color looks very light. Not sure how to describe it but the chicken tasted “dirty”as if it wasn’t washed well. Would’ve been better if it was fried chicken.“

“I was in the Penn Station area today and had a craving for fried chicken. Initially, I was thinking about going to a certain Filipino fried chicken chain, but after checking the ratings, Pollo Camino came out on top. They’ve recently opened a new branch near Penn Station, but I ended up visiting their 8th Ave location instead — a small, single-storefront shop with a simple interior.

I ordered the fried chicken set for $9.99, which came with two pieces of chicken, a piece of bread, one side, and a drink for an extra $1.
• Drink: I went with their Horchata, made with peanuts and vanilla ,milk, without the cinnamon and rice I’m used to. It had a nice aroma, refreshing, and a bit different — in a good way.
• Side: I chose yuca fries, served in large sticks. The inside was dense than potato, with a lightly crisp exterior. Personally, I wasn’t a fan — I’d say skip this and go for another side.
• Fried Chicken: Lightly battered with a noticeable blend of spices and herbs. The meat was tender, while the skin wasn’t the super-crispy kind you’d get from those well-known Louisiana or Kentucky-style chains. Flavor was solid, but here’s an important tip — just like with many fried chicken places, don’t let it sit too long. Once it cools, the saltiness becomes much more pronounced.

Service gets a full 5 stars in the fast-food category — no self-service pick-up here, they bring your food right to the table.

Overall, Pollo Camino is worth trying if you’re around Penn Station. The price is fair, the chicken is flavorful, but choose your side wisely and eat it while it’s hot. Next time I’ll try a competitor for comparison, but for now, my top spot still belongs to Louisiana chain.“

“Food is fire and the prices are very good. Only thing I have to say is I wish they can go back to the old recipe of the jalapeño mayo because it was so good. Chicken is always crispy and tender. All the sides are fire too u can’t go wrong with any of them.“

“This place shows what happens when everything works right. Their menu pricing challenges competitors. The kitchen works with only fresh components. The restaurant delivers total satisfaction. This establishment delivers outstanding results.“

“Food tasted great. Service was excellent and quick despite the crowd.“

“This store is the one of the best Popeyes ever. The store is very neat and clean. And employees are very professional with their job. They always try to help you for your perfect order. Also I think I would like mention that the grils Halima she is very nice girl.and super professional. And i love popeyes Fried Chicken tender 😋😋😋“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Overall I had a good experience. The Chinatown broccolini was the highlight for me — fresh, healthy ingredients with a nice kick, definitely something I’d come back for. The tenders themselves were hot and moist, made with prime cuts of chicken breast. I would have appreciated a bit more seasoning in the batter, but I can see how that might be intentional to let the sauces shine and appeal to different palates. I didn’t love the truffle mac and cheese — I personally prefer a sharper cheddar and egg-based style — but the portion sizes overall were satisfying. The staff was very friendly and polite, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting for a casual bite. Ordering at the kiosk was convenient, though I do wish there was a bathroom on-site. Not fully convinced about the value for price given a couple of these factors, but I’d still return, especially for that broccolini.“

“great location. perfect size. food is on point 💥💯🇪🇨 great portions and I jave never been disappointed! com on Come All!“

“Across the street from the Apollo and busy. 20 people can sit inside. The spice does not make you sweat but it’s a hot feeling! Medium is spicy enough even with 2 packets of honey and special sauce! You can share the slider entree with crinkle fries it’s so filling. Doesn’t come with a drink. The spice is curry-esque, even if you don’t like curry you will like this!“

“Delicious and satisfying. Expensive, but worth every dollar.“

“Some of the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in the city offering packaged deal including beer tower and an app. The place is decorated in Karaoke memorabilia with vinyls, classic turntables, mics and speakers adorning the walls. The wings are made to order crispy skin with spicy saucy. Good atmosphere, a bit loud for conversation and with private okey tables if you are inclined.“

“Great place! Delicious 😋 food“

“BEST CHICKEN I EVER HAD!!! And the fries were PERFECTLY crispy and seasoned! Nothing salty or greasy! This is worth every penny!! I can’t wait to come back and try everything else lol

Kid-friendliness: Beautiful fun atmosphere for kids“

“This place is just as advertised. Quick and simple food done very well, for a great price. I got the 1/2 chicken combo with Greek lemon potatoes. Everything was solid, the chicken was nicely cooked and juicy with a classic rotisserie flavor. The lemon flavor came though nicely on the potatoes. You also get a green sauce that comes with the meal that adds a nice acidic herbal flavor. Also, I got the grilled buffalo wings which I really enjoyed. Many places do not offer grilled, so I really appreciated this. I find especially for takeout, fried wings lose the textural component and become soggy. The grilled adds an extra depth of flavor that I personally enjoy. Overall great value.“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“I recently visited Burning Beaks in the Bronx, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience! Their chicken sandwich is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The house sauce they use is phenomenal and adds just the right amount of kick.

On top of that, the service was fantastic! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere is cozy but energetic, with a great vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. It’s clear that they put a lot of care into both their food and the customer experience. I’ll definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch meal in the Bronx!“

“I think I can honestly say, without hyperbole, that this was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. The only way I can describe the chicken sandwich is it was immaculate. The sandwich itself wasn't anything new or fancy or unique it was just the perfect example of something simple done perfectly. Good chicken with Juicy and tender the breading was crispy and well seasoned and so were the fries. 10/10 would highly recommend I'd eat this everyday if I could.“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“Place was the bomb back when I went to Brooklyn Tech. Went off to college and now employed, but still return here for the quarter chicken, two ribs, side(the most okay stuff, rice n beans, mac, potatoes & salad are decent) and extra stopsauce!“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Great place for food with family and friends. Im one of the most repeat customers of them. Everyone is welcoming there. Specially the manager Mirja. He literally can read customers minds. Food is very good. I love there wraps. Soo yumm and u can have it anywhere on the run.“

“Perfect roasted chicken for your entire family. They have family combos of whole roasted chicken, rice, beans, sweet plantains and avocado salad perfect for family of four.“

“Ordered through Uber eats so I'm not rating the service or atmosphere. Oh my goodness, the chicken empanadas when I tell you they are delicious ? they really are. Flakey outside, amazing ? chicken was seasoned very well, includes veggies in there also ????. The rice and beans dish was good, also tasty.“

“Chicken is good! Seasoned & flavorful! Fries good too! Mac & Cheese needs to go back to the basics.“
