Chicken Shops in New York, NY

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“We had the chicken fingers combo and a soda. The fingers were actually biscuit-sized chunks of succulent boneless chicken with thick breading lol 'Glad we had the crispy medium dry rub with the roasted garlic dip so that the chicken didn't get soggy. I was hoping the spice would be something unique. It was basically Lawry's seasoning which I do like, however, the fries were heavily doused in this spice and mixed with the chicken batter. Due to how overwhelming it was, that one meal was enough for two ppl (and my husband has a big appetite) which came with a side of coleslaw that was ok. Great music, vibes and restaurant name. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I bet it's amazing if you stopped in here while you were rolling ;)“

“Món nào cũng ngon , sẽ quay lại tiệm .“

“Foods and drinks are delish😋 Great ambiance and service!“

“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.“

“I never eat chicken breast because they are too dry, but I can say this is the best fried chicken I’ve eaten from a restaurant. Juicy not greasy I wasn’t tired after I ate the meal absolutely delicious!“

“TLDR: fried chicken here is awesome, I prefer the salted egg yolk but all of it is good

I got the two legs of chicken with salted egg yolk and I got to enjoy the salted egg yolk flavor on fried chicken with very crispy skin and juicy meat. I do miss the size of the brooklyn location but the food still hit the spot“

“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.“

“Really delicious food! I came here to try the Polo Better known as Plov or بخاري as they call it in the Middle East.

Ended up trying the Noodles, Manta (better known as Mantu) Lamb Skewers. The manta was the best I ever had in the states! Everything was really delicious!

Since they didn’t have what I came for the chef came out with red tea, which is also really good. This is my go to restaurant whenever I am in the FIDI. I cannot recommend enough! This is one of my all time favorite restaurants in NYC.“

“Whats there not to love about Raising Cane's. The chicken was great and bread was amazing. Everything was fresh. Food came quickly and the service was good. Just wish they had bbq sauce but their sauce is good. The area was nice and the restaurant was clean“

“My partner and I just ate here today it's reeeally heckin' good. The chicken cutlets are huge and the Original spice is just the right amount of sweet, and even the standard fries have delicious seasoning. The sweet potato fries are divine. Their boba is also top tier, with my favorite consistency of boba pearls (super soft). The s'mores mochi donut was really good, too!“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“Peppa’s never misses! The jerk chicken is always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and has that real smoky flavor I grew up on. I’ve also had the curry goat and oxtail both are fire 🔥. The rice & peas, cabbage, and festivals always hit, and the portions are more than worth the price“

“Tried it for the first time. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was actually pretty good. I just don’t understand why it’s eaten with gravy. The fries were quite disappointing. They were too dried and not crispy enough.“

“Nice chill atmosphere serving Khao Mun Gai, steamed or fried. Classic style with soup on the side. Super nice staff who know the cuisine. Fast service.“

“I’ve been to many Thai restaurants around the world 🌍 , in New York 🗽and also in Bangkok 🇹🇭 and the KHAO MAN GAI , the classic poached chicken is a very much a THAI dish as Singaporean 🇸🇬 dish as it comes from the East. There are many street food places in Bangkok 🇹🇭that specialize in KHAO MAN GAI and its considered a traditional Thai 🇹🇭 food. To find an excellent poached chicken in Bangkok 🇹🇭it’s a mission so to find one , in the east village is a beautiful and tasty surprise. I had the KHAO MAN GAI - poached chicken 🍗 and the Gai Yang- grilled chicken 🍗. The chicken was tender and juicy , was cooked perfectly and it’s the same for the grilled and the poached, the sauce was spicy 🌶️ and reminded me the streets of Bangkok 🇹🇭the rice and the soup as well were rich, perfect balanced and delicious. The restaurant stands tall on delivering the promise of her name. Authentic Thai 🇹🇭 food. The place is small and warm , simple , the staff is welcoming and friendly, and the reasonable price ( 18$ for the set ) makes it A MUST in New York today. Come as you are and fast 🇹🇭🇹🇭“

“Dropped in for just a snack and got the Crab Rangoons which for some reason I feel are so hard to come by in nyc. These were great! The filling was smooth and had nice flavor, and the dough was very very crispy which is what makes or breaks a rangoon for me so I was happy about that. My only gripe was that the amount of sauce was sooo small and definitely not enough!

Also had a Thai Tea which was not too dense and rich, it was more of a refreshing and lighter, yet still creamy thai tea which was exactly what I needed in the moment so it hit so well.“

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

“Amazing meals at reasonable prices.“

“During our trip to NY, we stopped here and grabbed lunch. The line met us at the door but we got our food in under 3 mins due to our orders being taken in line and when we were at the cashier our food got handed to us while we were paying. We sat on the 2nd floor to dine and the restaurant was clean even though it was full during lunch time. The staff got our orders exact and the food was great. The restrooms are located on the second floor.

They have 3 floors at this location:
(First Floor)- Where you make your order and pay/Pick up orders online.
(Second Floor)- This is where you have the first option of dining and restrooms (No code needed).
(Third Floor)- Additional seating for dining.

Also, please note this restaurant is about a 8 min walk from the 9/11 memorial pools/museum, One World Observatory and the Oculus. So if you wanted to grab something before or after visiting this part of the city, this Chick-fi-la would hit the spot!“

“Definitely one of the best roasted meat in I ate. Their beef with noodles are amazing. A must try if your in Chinatown NY.“

“Peppa is open for takeout, clean food awesome“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious 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.“

“If you’ve ever wondered what pure chicken tender happiness tastes like—Raising Cane’s Harlem is the answer! From the moment I walked in, the energy was contagious: friendly smiles, music playing, and that signature Cane’s vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of something crispy and special.

Let’s talk about the food—because wow. The tenders were golden perfection: hot, juicy, and seasoned just right. The Cane’s Sauce? Addictive. I could honestly drink it (don’t judge). The crinkle-cut fries were crisp and fresh, the Texas toast buttery heaven, and even the coleslaw hit just right—fresh, cool, and balanced.

Service-wise, the team here deserves all the credit. Thank you Brianna for the perfect order, and perfect experience!

My order came out fast, accurate, and served with genuine Harlem hospitality. The restaurant was spotless, which says a lot for a spot that stays busy.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or late-night comfort meal, this Raising Cane’s delivers every single time. Harlem didn’t just get a chicken spot—it got a whole vibe.

🔥 Must-try combo: Box Combo, extra Cane’s Sauce. Trust me.“

“What a welcome addition to the culinary Epcot Center that is East Village. No longer do we have to trek to Elmhurst for the best chicken in New York City. Staff is exceptional, food is phenomenal, I liked this place so much I’m writing my first google review!“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“Last year, I wanted to visit this place for my birthday, but it was not open. This year, I finally got to visit and I absolutely love it. It's delicious, just like people say.“

“I went to Dave’s hot chicken I ordered my food didn’t look at it until I got home and got someone else order but I wouldn’t go back because it was a 30 minute drive was upset bout not getting what I paid for.“

“Healthy and delicious! Lots of good options“

“**Super crispy chicken and great Dominican vibes!**

John’s Fried Chicken never misses. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and full of flavor — you can tell it’s made to order every time. The place has that real Dominican feel, with great music, friendly people, and food that reminds you of home.

Only downside is the small seating area — it can fill up quick. But honestly, the food makes up for it. Definitely one of those neighborhood spots you just keep coming back to!“

“Love Bessou Even in difficult times they continue to provide excellence.“

“Lovely !! I really enjoyed the food !!“

“The food is wonderful and I will talk well with my friends, I congratulate them the food is very friendly and attentive and I cook everything perfectly my first experience was wonderful and I will go all the time and talk well about the place with my friends I congratulate them the food is spectacular 👌“

“Halal Chicks is hands down one of the best spots around! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite hits the spot — from the juicy chicken to the perfectly seasoned rice and sauces that bring everything together.

The employees make the experience even better. They’re always friendly, respectful, and go out of their way to make sure your order is exactly how you want it. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work.

The service is fast, the portions are generous, and the whole place has a positive, welcoming vibe. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or stopping by late at night, Halal Chicks never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“Halal Chicks never disappoints — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced every time.
The portions are generous, and the chicken and lamb are always on point.
Their sauces take everything to the next level — especially the white and spicy ones.
Fast service, good prices, great owner— easily my go-to spot for takeout, specially after the gym!!!💪“

“Good pit stop to have while venturing around nyc.. plus it’s hormone and antibiotic free!“

“One of the best places to get delicious Puerto Rican food!“

“The atmosphere and music at this location is awesome! The workers were really chill and nice too and gave me recommendations of what to get. Their sandwiches were delicious, I got the Nashville Hot and it was spicy and well cooked. Also their hush puppies are so good with their remoulade sauce. My friend got the wings and said they were tough though, so I would be cautious about ordering those.“

“so far we've only used delivery option Whole chicken is amazing, perfectly roasted, juicy while being cooked through, seasoned excellently.
99.9% consistent quality, and quick to correct when it rarely fell short.
Highly recommend!“

“I've been on a mission to try every Peruvian pollo a la brasa in NYC, hoping to find the ones that have the same taste as the ones back in Lima. Chrip is nearly spot on. Amazing tasting chicken that actually tastes like Peruvian pollo a la brasa instead of the 5 spices some other places do. Chicken was so succulent. The green sauce was so good.

The other star of the show here is the Pork confit sandwich which is a nod to the traditional Peruvian pan con chicharrón. It was SOO GOOD. Pork was so tender and the flavours were incredible. I've been back a few times and gotten it every time.

Probably my fave Peruvian pollo spot in Manhattan at the moment. Highly recommend!“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“realmente es, bueno es el verdadero pica Pollo de la republica Dominicana“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Tried this new Korean fried chicken spot through Uber Eats, and it did not disappoint! The fried chicken with Korean spicy sauce was amazing—crispy, flavorful, and addictive. The tteokbokki was on another level too; it’s been a long time since I’ve had one this delicious. The only downside was the donkatsu, which was a bit too thin and dry for my taste. Still, overall a great experience, and I’m definitely looking forward to trying more dishes from their menu.“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“This is a great booth at Bryant park with some really cool play on Chicken and waffles and other “carnival” foods “on a stick”. The waffle was good, but a little colder than I prefer. The chicken however was warm and very very well prepared. It was juicy and flavorful and felt good to eat outside on a chilly day!

Over all a very good snack while you shop and take in the sights of the city!“
