This place was sooo good. I came for the delicious turkey tender special and it did NOT disappoint. Everything was amazing! I was able to split a tender and a combo with someone else and leave more than happy. The service was great too. Everyone was super nice and got people their food promptly. Good music too. I’ll definitely be back!

On the way to another restaurant, I stopped by Tender Crush on a whim. As soon as I walked in the door, Angel made me feel so welcome, I knew I wasn't going anywhere else. Angel lived up to the name by happily and patiently helping this awkward first-timer with the perfect drink and sauce selections, and making sure I loved it all. The chicken was so crispy AND juicy, I already want to eat here again. Tender Crush just turned into one of my go-to NYC spots. Hope you're around for a very long time!

Loved the food - lots of variations on the theme; we had 2 sandwiches, 1 tender and wonderful fries - all truly excellent. More important, Angel who was running the front, was delightful -- truly committed to giving patrons a great experience; was especially good with our two grandsons (3 and 5). Angel's hospitality alone makes this a special place.

Cold tenders plus awful service equals one star. Thought this would be a good family option but the girl up front was rude and the manager was too busy to talk to me and my wife. Food also had been sitting out for a while. We are going mommy pai’s next time. Ironically it was recommended to us by another patron who was dissatisfied with Tender Crush.

Coming from 2 chicken tender enthusiasts, these were some of the best tenders we've ever tried. And the staff, wow 5 stars. Friendly funny and most importantly great recos on the dipping sauces. They really went above and beyond for us. Thank you for your service to the community!!!! 🫡🏅🐔

This place is delicious. Juicy, flavorful, everything cooked and spiced right. Crispy chicken, flavorful fries but also great broccoli dish. So impressed and it wasn’t crowded. Feels like a gem if you enjoy spicy food and intense flavors.
Gonna give this place another try I just dont want the server tossing out my food again when I stepped outside for a few seconds

I went to TC with my family that was visiting from the UK. It was a small spot with 2 tables and some bar stools. I saw an IG post that included Ja Rule eating the I SCREAM Tenders and we wanted to try it. When we got there, I saw a wide array of food options. The chicken tenders were DELICIOUS and fresh!! My cousins got a chicken sandwich and they loved it. The fries were hot and fresh. The I SCREAM Tenders was also very delicious. Although my tender needed to be replaced, I would absolutely go back for more! Manager/Owner was very nice and attentive. Cashier was ehh. She kept awkwardly adjusting her bra while taking our cash paying order. Not enough to deter a repeat trip. It’s more of a teachable moment on what NOT to do in front of customers.

Taste: good flavor, good crunchy batter
Value: not great, $12 for 3 very skinny small tenders is not worth it. It’s like a kid’s meal.

⭐ I was deceived by all the good reviews 😒. I ordered for delivery 🚚, but it got here pretty quickly so I wouldn’t blame delivery on this at all since the food was still hot 🔥. The chicken was not crispy at all ❌🍗. The bun was soggy 🥺🍞.
Even when you ask for no mayo 🚫, they still put this sauce that looks like tartar sauce all over your chicken 🤢. It was just not good. Restaurants selling chicken sandwiches need to realize they are competing with, at the very least, Chick-fil-A 🐔🥤.
If I prefer a Chick-fil-A sandwich over yours… something ain’t right 🚨. I had to force myself to finish the meal 😬🍽️ because at that point the only justification for paying that price 💸 was that I’d at least feel full… now I’m paying the price of regret and nausea 🤮💔. I wish you the best ✨
