“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this Popeyes deserves it! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor—exactly what you expect when you’re craving Popeyes. The staff here is consistently friendly and quick, even when it gets busy, and you can tell they actually care about their customers. The restaurant is kept clean, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s my go-to spot whenever I want a great meal done right. Highly recommend this location!“

“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“

“Reservations weren’t easy to snag, but the food was absolutely worth it, and surprisingly affordable. I ordered the Bucket List and tried one of each of the caviar nuggets, and everything was amazing. Perfect spot for a night out. Service was a 10/10. The staff at the front acknowledged us right away and had us seated quickly. Nothing felt rushed, and the servers were consistently attentive throughout the meal.“

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

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

“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.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“Very nice Popeye's“

“I’ll start by saying the food was absolutely outstanding. Everything from the chicken, all the sides, and even the salad was incredibly delicious.

However I don’t know that I would recommend this place for large groups. The biggest problem was that it was incredibly loud and hard to hear in there. Like actual shouting to hear the person next to you, it’s really difficult to talk to anybody not immediately next to you (and even then it’s not easy to hear).

Our service also wasn’t great, they set down our food and didn’t come back to the table for like 30 minutes and they only refilled our water when asked. All this is frustrating when you’re getting hit with the mandatory 20% gratuity for groups (which is fine but at the very least keep the waters filled and ask us if we want more drink orders).“

“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.“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“Love this place! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious! 10/10 taste and customer service every single time!“

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

“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!“

“the waffles 🧇 were delicious and the toppings were a added pleasure service was friendly and the place was clean I suggest everyone to add it to their bucket list You will be hooked !!!!“

“Nice place my daughter finally convinced me to dine at will return didn’t disappoint“

“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!“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Mmmm 🤪Good..............🤨“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“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.“

“El mejor lugar para comer es este al 100x1000“

“I ordered right before closing and they still went above and beyond! My food was packed and ready the moment I arrived, fresh and hot. I really appreciate the great service and how accommodating they were even at the end of the night. Definitely recommend!“

“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 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“

“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!“

“Best chicken over rice I've ever had, and the grilled meats and seafood in general are all extremely well marinated, grilled, and of high quality freshness. Desserts are excellent as well. Definitely slightly pricier than a food truck, but worth it for the space, service, and food quality.“

“It was our first time eating at Dave’s Hot Chicken. We ate at the Florence KY location. The food was good and the service was good!“

“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!“

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

“Just got Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was fire fr. The chicken was super crispy and juicy, and the spice actually had flavor not just heat. The sauce went crazy with the fries too — everything was fresh and still hot when it got here. The portion’s solid for the price, and the toast on the side hit too. Overall it’s mad good if you’re craving something spicy and filling, definitely worth it.“

“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.“

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

“Great welcome from Joy (the girl with blonde and blue hair)! She was super nice and recommended the best menu, so I highly recommend this place.

Don’t hesitate to stop by and see Joy if you want great service ! Thanks again“

“We found the Commodore while searching for a place to eat with my partner, after a late arrival into JFK. At first we were thrown by the well patinaed circa 1980 LES dive bar decor, not that there's anything wrong with that, just not what we expected. Service is no frills, order at the bar, they bring the food to your table. Drinks were strong and served lighting fast. The food was awesome, some of the best Fried Chicken I ever had, crispy, juicy and nicely seasoned. My partner had the Mexican Chicken Soup, she loved it and let me get a taste, I agreed, it was amazing. We will return for sure!“

“This location store is the best texs I have ever been to. The lady in the front “her name is Nalini” she gave me the best customer service and the boys in the back they make the food best way possible. Their name is Alamin, Foysal and Shafiq. Food is fresh and hot. Overall totally satisfied with the food and service“

“This place is out of this world good!! Don’t like rice? Take a look and lean in and see the basil leaves and onion, I’ve worked in a lot of Restaurants, this is truly real hard working people comfort food done to its best possible ! Now this people is what good done right looks like, five stars just isn’t enough! Wanna feel good ? Come get some real home cooked food from here , and it will feed your soul! Great job guys.

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“
