We love their food but i am going to give one star because how are they charging 3.99 for such a ridiculous short amount of rice. The amount is not even enough for a small kid 😡. I ordered the same from somewhere else and their one box is more than chickys three box.
Response from the owner
Hi Mohammad, thank you for your feedback and for supporting us. We’re glad to hear you enjoy the food. The rice shown is our standard side portion, which is intended as an add-on rather than a full serving. Our main platters come with significantly larger portions of rice.<br><br>That said, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review it with our team to ensure portions meet our standards. If you’d like, please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can make this right for you. We value your support and hope to serve you again soon.

Not sure about the hype but the food isn’t good. Got the burger and expecting it to be a burger but turns out to be a full chicken with burger buns. Hardly any taste and it was burnt from the fryer. First time here so I was expecting some good food but nope. Definitely wouldn’t go back again.

The people were nice, helpful with suggestions. Restaurant was clean but the food was ok. 3.5/5. The sandwich was huge, but the flavor wasn’t really there. And $40 for a sandwich, waffle fries and mac for 1 person is a little crazy. Especially if the food wasn’t amazing. I am glad I tried it, but unless there was something special going on I’m not sure I’d go back.

I had the wings because and the top Spice level was definitely spicy, but was superbly tasty and flavorful. Flavored fries were good and I didn't hesitate to dip them In the leftover wing sauce. First trip and Chicky's hit it out of the park. Definitely going back and you should try this spot. Feast up and thank me later!

Chicky's is… okay. The sandwiches were fine — not terrible, but not impressive either. The food lands right in the middle: decent enough, but nothing that really stands out or makes you want to rave about it.<br><br>One thing worth mentioning is the service. The guy working there was very friendly and welcoming, which definitely added a nice touch to the experience. The space itself is small, more like a mix between fast food and casual dining — not a full sit-down restaurant, but not a grab-and-go spot either. It works for what it is.<br><br>The prices were reasonable, not excessive, and in line with the type of food they offer.<br><br>Overall, Chicky's isn’t the greatest place to eat, but it’s okay. If you’re hungry and nearby, it’ll do the job.

Stopped by late one night to grab a chicken sandwich. At first, I thought it was a bit on the expensive side, but once I got my food, I realized it was worth every penny. You can choose your spice level, and the menu has a nice variety of options to pick from. It’s definitely more of a fast-food style spot rather than a healthy one, but it hit the spot—especially after a few drinks! Would recommend to pre-order as I waited almost 15 mins for my food, worth the wait,

Real Halal fried chicken, portions are HUGE and affordable and the food always tastes fresh and delicious. Best fried chicken in queens hands down. The customer service is always exceptional too.

Great place! The customer service is phenomenal!!! I ordered jerk chicken today and I didn’t want it due to the spice level, they immediately without any issue not only let me keep the jerk chicken but gave me a free replacement as well. I am honestly impressed.

Chicky's is a MUST-TRY for sandwich lovers! Their spicy sandwich is hands down the best I've ever had - the flavors are on point and the chicken is cooked to perfection. And let's talk about the sauce... it's TOP NOTCH! The food overall is great, but the ambiance could use some work. Don't let that deter you though, the food is worth it! Highly recommend Chicky's for a delicious meal!
