“it's incredibly delicious 😍🔥“

“I can’t even believe I’m saying this, but this place has the absolute best fried chicken I’ve had in ages.

For many years we were huge KFC fans. Then… slowly they started going downhill. The chicken became ultra soggy and “blah”. The sides are the sides and towards the end the coleslaw was the only good thing.

We then moved on to Popeyes. Loved it for a while then the same thing. Chicken didn’t hold up well getting it home and it is only about 5-10 minute ride to the house. The sides and choices were good but after a while it just wasn’t cutting it anymore.

Fast forward to last night. My husband has been saying “You guys HAVE to try this place!!!!” To me and my son. So that’s what we did. He came come with some Classic Chicken Sandwiches and an 8 piece of fried chicken with two sides and some biscuits. The chicken sandwiches were huge perfectly fried pieces of white meat chicken on a bun with Mayo and pickles. That’s it. It was amazing and juicy and tender. The fried chicken absolutely made the 15 minute ride home staying CRISPY with not one ounce of condensation. It was flavorful and juicy and just delicious. (Note: the sides were good). The biscuits were soft and delicious as well.

Also need to add that the staff was fantastic. Very friendly and personable. Excellent experience and happy new customer!!!!

Oh yeah and it’s just as flavorful and delicious at room temp or from fridge. I can’t wait to go back!!!!

10/10 Highly recommend!!!!!“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

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

“Absolutely loved everything I ordered. Quick and tasty!“

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“best poke bowl I have ever tasted, nice service is totally plus :), luv the presentation as well“

“Food was good .cooks were friendly and answered all our questions since it was our 1st time there and there menue was kind of big for a take out place . The wait was long but the good thing about it the food was cooked to order and fresh . Was worth the wait . Only big take away I can think of is parking which is not there fault .“

“darbar have very great service and prices, we always cater fried chicken from their for big events and even their other dishes such as fried rice. low mein and chicken sandwiches, lamb burgers are very great, their food is well flavored and fresh..“

“This is my fav halal cart in the city, best time to go is later in the day. I showed up twice during the listed opening hours and they were not still ready.

However the flavors, value, and cost is good. Good quality, onions, cilantro. Good chicken and lamb. Hands down best in queens by far“

“I have been eating here since it was a cart, now it is a food truck. Personally my opinion might be biased but if you want a Colombian style fast food for a fair price. Come and enjoy. Just know it might be a bit pricey for one but I believe if you go to other places you might be paying more.“

“recently visited Halal Boyz and decided to try their chicken tikka for the first time. I have to say, it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. I also took the cashier's recommendation to try the extra crispy pita bread, and it was a fantastic choice. The pita was perfectly crispy and added a wonderful texture that paired beautifully with the chicken.
The service was really friendly, and the staff was eager to help with recommendations. I left feeling satisfied and excited to return. If you're looking for a great halal spot, I highly recommend trying the chicken tikka with crispy pita bread. Can't wait to go back“

“I stopped by Dos Toros and ordered a carnitas burrito bowl, and it was definitely the best value on the menu. The portion was generous, and the staff didn’t skimp on any of the ingredients, which I really appreciated. The carnitas had great flavor—well-seasoned, tender, and not dry at all. The rice was also really good, cooked well and not just filler like some places tend to do.

My friends each ordered a taco, and while they enjoyed them, the portion size difference was pretty noticeable compared to my bowl. If you’re hungry, I’d definitely recommend going for something bigger.

The food overall was delicious, and I was especially impressed that the spicy sauce actually had heat to it. It wasn’t just labeled “spicy” with no kick—it delivered. If I ever find myself in this terminal again, Dos Toros will be my first stop.“

“LOVE HILLSIDE TEXAS! I’ve been coming here for years and the food has always been impeccable and the service has always been amazing! Saqib Is always so helpful and goes out of this way to make sure our experience is good! LOVE LOVE hillside Texas!“

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“I was visiting New York City. This was my first ever visit to a White Castle and I had a coupon. I got 10 sliders, krinkke fries and a medium vanilla shake. It was fantastic! The burgers were flavorful, the shake was great. I'll definitely eat at White Castle and next time I will try the fried clams (yes, fried clams) because I love those too!“

“Been eating here since I was a kid. Their fried chicken has been the best for 30+ years. This is thee “chicken spot”, I have urge I faithfully come here. Food is great, price is better, service is the best. Thank you for many years and many nights.“

“Good Chicken Not Salty! I tried a few pieces of chicken, Some Tenders, Mac & cheese and Coleslaw. Everything was decent not like the other overly salty chicken places. I look forward to trying thier chicken sandwiches, Gyro & Burgers! Nice Spot Thanks for the quick service!“

“I love their pizzas. They have a brick oven that they make their pizzas in and it really brings out the authenticity of the pizza. Their pizzas are sized just for you to eat. You have a choice of ordering a bigger/“regular” sized pizza that you’d often see at other pizza places but their pizza size makes it so easy for you to just eat that by yourself and go. One recommendation for when you go is definitely the bbq chicken pizza! I love the bbq chicken pizza. I get it all the time but it may be a little too sweet for some as said by others that have tried the pizza but i dont think you can go wrong with bbq chicken pizza even if you do find it a bit sweet.“

“I love smash burger I'm an Exterminator and i've been coming here 3 years I've always been served by Kandace And she's made every lunch break.I have worth working the rest of my day.I appreciate Smashburger for having her as an employee.
And I will forever be a customer“

“Great authentic shawarma djej. Love that they crisp the saj after rolling it. The guys are friendly, and their sauces and pickles are excellent. Also a big fan of whatever seasoning they use on those crispy fries. One small recommendation, just because of where they’re situated: would love to see some quality hot sauce or shatta on offer. Overall, 10/10—would definitely recommend when you’re looking for a break from the typical halal cart fare.“

“**The Empanada Spot – A Hidden Gem That Just Became My Obsession ★★★★★**

I’ve driven past The Empanada Spot a hundred times and always told myself “one day.” Well, that “one day” finally happened last week when a late-night craving hit. Let me tell you: I walked in curious and left absolutely mind-blown.

These are not your average empanadas. I ordered the classic beef, and when they handed me the bag I could already hear the faint sizzle through the paper. One bite and I legitimately stopped in the middle of the parking lot — the dough is perfection. Golden, flaky on the outside, soft and slightly chewy within, with that ideal crisp edge that shatters just right. The filling? Juicy, perfectly seasoned ground beef with a depth of flavor that makes you wonder how something so simple can taste this good. It was still piping hot, the kind of hot that forces you to do the little “blow-on-it” dance, and I’m not even mad about it.

What elevated the whole experience was the vibe inside. Even late at night, the staff greeted me like I was a regular they’d been waiting for all day. Smiles everywhere, genuine enthusiasm when I asked what their favorite was, and zero rush even though they were clearly winding down. It felt like walking into a friend’s kitchen who just happens to make world-class empanadas.

I’m already plotting my return — the chicken, the cheese pull on the queso ones, maybe the spicy pork if I’m feeling bold. The Empanada Spot didn’t just satisfy a late-night craving; it created a new addiction.

If you’ve been sleeping on this place like I was, do yourself a favor and go. Your taste buds will thank you, and you’ll probably end up writing a review just as obnoxiously enthusiastic as this one. 11/10, no notes. See you in line.“

“I've witnessed these guys get pricier and pricier but that still doesn't stop me from coming. At this point I've tried everything on their menu but I honestly just keep coming back for the tostadas and the tacos. They're probably the best to go spot in the area. Just try to avoid coming here when the Roosevelt ave bar scene is alive and poppin' cus otherwise it's not really Taco Veloz“

“If you’re craving some seriously good fried chicken, you have to check out Tex Chicken and Burgers. Their spicy fried chicken is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had: crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite hits just right, and the spice level is perfect, not too overwhelming but definitely brings the heat. (I love spicy food :))

What really makes this place stand out, though, is the customer service. Deep and his team are absolutely incredible. Deep is always so kind, professional, and genuinely sweet — you can tell he really cares about making sure every customer leaves happy. He goes above and beyond, every time. It’s rare to find service like that these days.

Super clean, fast service, and food that always hits the spot. Highly recommend this place. IMO better than Popeyes!“

“I’m a regular customer at this Texas Chicken location, and they never disappoint. The place is always clean, the food comes out fast, and everything tastes fresh. What really makes the difference is the night manager—he’s amazing! Super friendly, hardworking, and always makes sure customers are taken care of. Honestly, this is the best Texas Chicken I’ve been to. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Good food they guys very friendly Texas lone star..never disappoints! I had ordered. The mozzarella sticks were crispy on the outside and perfectly gooey inside. Everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. Great food at a great price—definitely coming back for more!“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“This place is the best !! I been going here for years. Love the food, it always done right. The chicken, the burger, the sandwichs, the fries are the best in the area. The place is always clean. The service is always wonderful. Number 1 place to eat at!!

Kid-friendliness: The kids love going here.“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“I love this place. One of my favorite sandwiches is the club sub, extra bacon.
Remarkably delectable. I only had one other sandwich besides that. And its on the secret menu. Y'all gotta look that up. Can't wait to go back.“

“I love this pizzeria, they're prices i would say is fair, it's somewhat near the train station but mostly near a local church, they so have a kids menu if your child is with you. I personally love their fries along with their pizza, I always try to come here whenever I can! The owner (or I think is the owner) is very kind and nice. I would say where the pizzeria is located is a nice area because you can sort of leave you're teenager there while you go the store or grocery which is littlerly nearby, and there's usually people there from the times I went it was half full to full!“

“Świetne zapiekanki, polecam, a na jedzeniu sie znam ;) dodtakowa bardzo miła pani ekspedientka osłodziła nam wieczor racuchami ktore notabene tez sa świetne. napewno wrócę.“

“Today I tried a 2 piece combo(2 fried fillets of Whiting, fries and a coke). The fillets weren't dry and not oily!
For $12.97 I thought it was reasonable. Menu options are considerable. Staff are friendly. Being near a major transportation hub it draws a large crowd at certain times of the day! Definitely want to come back and try 3 more items- especially when you've been drinking!!!😄“

“As the title says… they make great boba and fries. One thing I don’t like though is how sugary their drinks are but you can modify that. The coconut milk tea and spicy fries are so good. The staff is really sweet and it’s a nice place to hang out since it’s never too busy.“

“i'm a local for this spot and have been going here for years. i can tell you all if you are looking for some good quality food and quick this deli is THE place. hands down the freshest and most tasteful food from a deli i have ever had. apart frm the quality of the deli, after hours on late nights i often see clerks giving the homeless food and drinks. we need more delis like this in new york to restore what nyc was once meant to be!!!!“

“It was amazing! I especially loved their Bacon Double Cheeseburger, with lettuce only; no tomatoes, no onions and no pickles! And their fries was delicious! And when I got back on line, I ordered the Reese's Peanut Butter Blast, to go! And I saved it until I got on the 4 and it started to melt!“

“I’m eating their falafel wrap over 3hrs later and it is still yummy. They pack it with flavorful fillings and sauces. My favorite is the eggplant spread. Plenty of seating there and throughout the bldg. It’s a bit out of the way for me, but it’s great for the LaGuardia community.

They do get slammed during peak lunch hours, but I’ve always received courteous service despite the wait.

Wheelchair accessibility: The bldg has a mini-lift in the lobby.“

“GOD. I love going here.. whenever I crave corn dogs I think of this place specifically. In fact, I come here so much that I believe the owner (?), a really sweet granny started to recognize me and my exact same order every time😭 I often come here after school and because it’s currently summer i haven’t been going, and when she did see me she asked how I was! I literally love this place and her😭😭❤️ (The day that this place closes down, is the day of my funeral.)“

“I haven't tried anything other than their pizza and I really have no complaints. The pizza is delicious, very affordable, and halal as a bonus. I definitely recommend this place if you want something quick and on-the-go.If you don't eat pork for one reason or another, I suggest you try their pepperoni pizza. A little greasy, but soooo good.“

“Hello my name is Anton Gold. I’m a Taco Bell addict. To be exact a Diablo sauce / ex/fire sauce , ex/hot sauce addict, and I could give two @&$! about the quotes on the packs… anyways in other words don’t listen to another word I say about TB. 🙏🏽
I’m currently at 3 packs per soft-taco-supreme, 4/5 for a Burrito Supreme and if they ever brought back Cool Ranch Hard Tacos again, well, game over for me. Just being honest.“

“The best place to eat! 👌👌👌 Excellent service 💥💥 Really delicious 🌮🍟😋“

“real good burgers, first time here and I really recommend this place.“

“great prices, good food. very local hole in the wall spot. items comprise of mostly noodles with intestines/offal, homemade fuzhou fish balls, and veggies.prices are super darn great. no tax needed. there is siracha and soy sauce/vinegar stuff in the handoff section if you need just a little extra thing.ive come here a couple of times now and enjoy the food as this reminds me of what my parents made me when i was young!great portions, pricing and must try if you want some non oily soothing stuff!“

“I like it when people smile and serve customers with enthusiasm. The place was very clean and the food was good, hot, fresh and cheap. Thanks to the person who served me, he gave me a chicken thigh. God bless this business and its employees.“

“Hi! So I order from them on uber eats at least twice a month and I’m obsessed! I used to live closer to this amazing establishment in 2019 and would go all the time. BUT now I just do take out—I get the honey lemon pepper and hot wings it’s the 10 piece wings fries combo! Thank you wings and Seafood you’re my comfort food!!!!“

“It's relatively clean.small. not a big dining area. In fact the countertop is against the window. Not too busy the 2 times I went to lunch on the weekend. I ordered online. Food was ready. No major issues. Food is the same across the board. Being nitpicky, they didn't have mozzarella cheese. It's not a deal breaker though. Online subway deals make it worth it as well.“

“One of my favorite spots of this chain in the city — Shake Shack! I come here often and love trying different burgers or my all-time favorite milkshakes. The Cookies flavor is absolutely the best (sorry, Oreo fans!). I’ve already made all my friends fall in love with it too. Everything here is always clean, quick, and delicious. The team is super friendly — if you don’t understand something or feel like you’ve been waiting too long, they’ll always explain and help with a smile. Thank you, guys! You’re amazing — I’ll definitely be back! 🍪🍔🥤“

“The food is delicious and the chicken is great. Everyone is really friendly and happy to help you out with your meals. Just love them“
