50 Best Chicken Restaurants in New York

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“This was my first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and it definitely did not disappoint! I had the Dave’s #2 with medium spice, which was absolutely perfect. I’ve never had a chicken sandwich this good—huge compliments to the chefs!

As a pickle fan, I really appreciated the extra pickles—such a great touch. If Dave’s were to expand to more countries in Europe, I have no doubt it would be a huge success.

The only downside was that the location felt a bit messy and unclean, but given that it was during rush hour and it's a fast-food spot, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, a fantastic experience—highly recommended!“

“We had the Whole Chicken Combo that comes with 2 drinks and 2 sides for $29.99. Super tender and juicy chicken that falls off the bone with delicious scallion pancake and fried rice. Overall good value with quick and friendly service. Will definitely return.“

“Finally got a chance to try out this location. My 2nd time feasting on Jollibee’s.

A bite of the chicken dipped in gravy and I can understand the joy involved. YES YES & YES…

The chicken is not overly fried, the meat is juicy & succulent. The spicy 🌶️ flavor is up there. It’s chicken on another level. 👍👍

PROS:
1) great flavor & texture
2) gravy makes it better
3) the biscuit is buttery delicious
4) fast service

CONS:
1) a bit pricier than its peers, $17.41 for a 3 piece combo.
2) the mash potato side is a bit small
3) venue has limited seating“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“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“

“This chick fil A is set up for crowds very well. I ordered my food while still waiting on the line. But the time I got to the front to pay, they had my order ready to hand to me immediately. I was able to find a table and seat upstairs. The food was excellent. I don’t agree with some of their Corporate policies but the food and experience are very well tailored.“

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

“Delicious chicken and sides with recipes straight from Guatemala. You can get fried or grilled chicken. Your sides could be rice, beans, rolls, tortilla, etc. Food was quick and easy to dine with plenty of room inside the restaurant. The food will definitely get you craving for more and more.“

“I visited this bar for the 1st time. I tried the soy garlic fried chicken and scallion pancake. I also tried their lechee Sojo. I hope I spelled that correctly. The drink was delicious. The apple sojo was delicious as well. I didn't wake up with a hangover, and I drank a lot. I tried the karaoke, and that was so much fun. I would come back.“

“Suave, jugoso, buen término, piel crocante, con romero, sabor delicado.... Atención gentil, REGRESARÉ! y mis amigos seguro los visitarán. SALUDOS“

“The fried chicken tastes delicious and you actually get meat with your order. Not just fried bones with little to no meat like some places around there. You can taste the seasoning on the chicken and even the fries (I assume they cook it all in the same oil). It’s a staple in the neighborhood. They also sell other types of meats and sides like rice and beans, plantains, spaghetti, fish, you name it they have it! And it’s delicious too. Definitely going back whenever I’m around that area.“

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

“was with my boys that are picky eaters and loved it. So tasty“

“Great place with friendly staff and amazing food. Always our go to place for something authentic and reminds us of home!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken your reaper chicken sandwich was by far the hottest chicken sandwich I’ve had good taste but the aftertaste hit me hard I was crying so hard my mouth was on fireeeeeee 😬😳👀😦🥴 good thing I got extra hot sandwich was delish as well your fries wow!!! It has a BBQ taste that’s so not beatable compared to the fries in town dang! I rate you 5/5 your heat to your most hottest is 11/10 whew! 😰 definitely will come back! To munch on some more! Anyone that has one in your town or closest to you! Don’t wait worth the drive worth the meal! 😅🤤🤤🤤🙀 hollering out to the Springfield Illinois crew 👌🏻👏🙌🏻❤️🫶🏻 217 baby!!!!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Tada Korean Fried Chicken in Chinatown offers a cozy escape from the busy streets outside. The ambiance is relaxed, making it a great spot to enjoy some seriously crispy and juicy Korean fried chicken. The Soy Honey Garlic flavor was a standout – sweet, savory, and perfectly garlicky. The setup is great too, with everything you need already on the table, so no need to ask for extras.

One small suggestion: It’d be nice if they added a classic Korean side like pickled radish to complement the chicken. But overall, it’s a solid experience – delicious food, good vibes, and efficient service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

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

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“The chicken pot pie, while not an actual pot pie but more of a soup, is delicious! The chicken is very tender without being mush and the flavor is fabulous. The ratatouille and garlic green beans as well as the lentil & pork belly soup were also quite enjoyable. Although the food is not heavy, it is quite filling. We can't wait to try out the rotisserie chicken lunch special and I'm sure Rotiss will be on our regular rotation.“

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

“My go-to location, something I always crave. They recently renovated their place not so long ago, and added an elevator, so yes, it's wheelchair assessable. Other than that, customer service is good, and it's a clean environment. I LOVE YOUU CHICK-FIL-A!!!“

“Really great food! We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience dining at Tender Crush and it was exactly what we needed. A quick, inexpensive, easy & delicious bite while running around. It was cold out and we decided to dine in and even that was better than average for a fast casual restaurant! We loved our hot crush sandwich, chicken tenders, fries, honey mustard and dill ranch sauce. Looking forward to returning and trying more of the menu.“

“I am from Texas and have been eating Chick-fil-A since they were only in food courts (80's). So little with such a great taste. We were over the moon when they started the stand alone stores.“

“This place is really good! The chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spiced. The fries are crispy and delicious. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Very good if your looking for a quick eat. My favorite order is BBQ chicken thighs with sweet potato fries. I highly suggest trying their chinola pineapple drink super good. When I want my order two last me for about 2-3 days I get a whole chicken with a side of BBQ sauce which is hands down a 10/10. Chicken ranch is great, quick service, and tasty eating for an affordable reasonable price.“

“Everything we had was absolutely delicious!! Especially the potato pancakes and applesauce.“

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

“Gave me the chicken leg I asked for. Went down right came out wrong. The next day the fries and biscuit came. My toilet was devastated.

Unrelated - they keep shorting me on sauce. You think i wouldn’t notice? You’re wrong for that. Sweet tea? Weaker than your employees lifting my chicken leg. 5 star service.“

“Was in a pinch for time and just needed a rotisserie chicken to make a quick soup and I ordered a half a chicken to go. I devoured a quarter of it before I even started the soup. This was the chicken I have been looking for! And the sauce that came with, amazing! I will be ordering more often!“

“Giving Popeye's another chance after all these years , I can honestly say tha staff was ok , tha only had part I hate is wen u have alot of food they give u less sauce, but anyways I ordered tha Family Festive Box and it comes with 4 Chicken Tenders , 4 Chicken Wings , 4 Biscuits & 4 Sides and I got two Mac N' Cheese, Mash Potatoes & Fries.

Now tha Fries were well seasoned after I made it crispy in my air fryer it was 7/10 , tha Mash Potatoes was good 7/10 , tha Mac N' Cheese was 7.5/10 and tha Biscuits are always tha best 8/10 , tha chicken I got them spicy it was good 8/10 and tha Tenders were 7.5/10.

Overall I would rather go here then KFC.“

“I absolutely love it !! the place is clean! excellent selection! they have so much to offer you just don't know what you want to try first . food was absolutely delicious!... .. I was just reading some negative postings I wish I took pictures the ingredients were fresh good portions I had a very good experience“

“Food is good. I opted for two combos (because I was very hungry). The caring clerk allowed me to choose one drink to avoid unnecessary expenses (although I chose 2 in the end)I'm pretty sure I'll come back to this fast food place next time I'm passing by“

“Thursday 2/6/25 I ordered America the beautiful salad. It was a generous portion of Yum! Looked great, picked up and delivered home by my son, chicken still hot! It was the best chicken ranch dressing salad I have had in a long time.“

“Love � the chicken and coleslaw �“

“Cutlet on a roll & fries; can’t go wrong. Combo (lamb&chicken) over rice is great.
Good basic slice of pizza.
Excellent smoothies and juices.

If you order delivery from here, you’re more than likely getting the order fulfilled by the Savory Deli just up the block—FYI—your options may vary on whatever delivery app you use.

Parking: Typical NYC street parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Ramp up to front door.“

“So glad they are in the UWS. Great healthy options for either low carb, sugar free or gluten free. Amazingly flavorful rotisserie chicken with many healthy side dishes. Choice of two sides with chicken lunch or chicken dinner. Cute place to eat in or sidewalk seating. Top notch service as well. If you are craving freshly cooked, seasoned food and there's only so many SweetGreen or Chopt meals you can consume, come here.“

“Solid chicken joint. I live around the corner and eat a mostly keto diet so I come here a lot. The ¼ charboiled chicken is my go-to lunch order and for under $8 with tax (if you pay cash) you can't beat it. The steamed veggie side is tasty too, but a little pricey for the portion size.“

“I've known the owner for 11 years and he is super accommodating. I'm picky and sometimes want his food prepped or packaged in a particular way. He always has his colleagues do every thing exactly as requested by me and most other people.“

“Ate here few times in February 2024. Got the $5 Good Burger, $5 Codfather, and $5 3 chicken legs and thighs and biscuit. They were all pretty good. Codfather fish fillet is very big. And 3 chicken pcs were big too.Decent quality and portions for the price.“

“This is the best fast food chicken i ever had !!!!!“

“The best fried chicken in this area of Harlem. The chicken is crispy on the outside and moist in the inside.

Maybe some of the local restaurants that specialize in southern cooking could take some lessons?

The staff is courteous and friendly always.

My favorite chicken spot.“

“WavY ExperiencE.
