Walked in and was greated immediately by a nice young attendant. The place was pretty well kept and proper. I didnt know what I wanted at first and the young attendant was very helpful in aiding me with that. After my order was placed I might have waited something like 7-8 minutes until my food was ready. It was made fresh and tasted pretty good. All in all this is definitley a place I will be coming back too. read more

Amazing chicken and very nice people, feels southern inside with the pictures on the wall and old signs.

their potato salad is old and their cole slaw is fermenting. it seems they are niot throwing out the old stuff and preparing newc fresh stuff read more

ZERO STARS! I repeat ZERO STARS! Zero zero zero! If I could, NEGATIVE 5 on a 5 star rating. Went to order in person since their website does not actually say what Southern style fried chicken is. Went in, man behind the counter looked up then looked back down. I moved over to the girl behind the counter. Waited my turn then asked about the Southern style. She whispered "I really don't know." I figured she's new so no biggie, she can ask someone else, right? I asked if I could have all thighs. She said I could, if I am ordering white meat. I corrected her and said it's all dark meat. She said yes I can have all thighs. Phone rang. Without saying anything to me, she ran to the phone on the other side of the counter and picked up the phone. No one else acknowledged me. I asked the person next to me if she knew what Southern style was. She was an Uber driver. She has never tried the chicken. (Ugh!). I tried to get the man's attention, who seems to be the Manager. I was ignored. I raised my voice in a respectful tone. Nothing. I raised my voice louder. Finally he said "it's spicy." I had to ask for clarification. They had a sign that says "new spicy chicken!" (Paraphrased this.) I asked what the difference was. One is spicy and one is really spicy. I asked if I could mix & match and if I could get all thighs. He said no. The Uber driver asked for me if I could have different styles. I guess my voice is too mild to be heard because he answered her. But he said I couldn't have all thighs. (But the girl earlier said yes, I could have all thighs, if I am choosing dark meat.) Manager said I can have legs & thighs. I said okay, I would like to order. "No, you have to order with her." She is still on the phone. I asked if I ordered online, would it be easier? He said that I should wait for the girl. She's almost done. So I waited and placed my order. I had to repeat myself 5x without exaggeration. I eventually had to write it down. 8 piece bucket $17.71 (3 originals, 3 Southern & 2 spicy.) I also wrote "mostly thighs please." Manager came to me. "No." Huh? " I will give you 4 originals (2 thighs, 2 legs) 2 Southern (1 thigh, 1 leg) & 2 spicy, (1 thigh, 1 leg.) I told him I wanted 3/3/2. He said no. He's not going to give me that. If I wanted breast, he can. I told him I only liked thighs but I will take the drumstick but could he accommodate mostly thighs because it is what my family likes. He said I would have to wait and I didn't want to wait. What? I never said I didn't want to wait. I told him I was fine with waiting. I would just like the order the way I ordered, to which the girl said I could. He said she's new. I asked if he could honor it this time since I am a new customer. He asked me if I wanted my money back. I said yes. Clearly. WTH?!?! He clearly makes too much money as he didn't want to gain a new customer. Must be nice to turn away new business. Oh the life. This place sucks. This place is a ZERO. NEGATIVE ZERO! read more

Chicken Delight - Ugh. A zero in my book. New customers aren't welcomed . I hope repeat customers do better. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Westbury, New York

Stay away unless you like your chicken with a side of racism. My family has been ordering from this business for over 40 years but tonight will be the last time. The food has already gone downhill in recent years but we kept supporting since it was a local business. We were waiting for our food tonight when the owner decided to make a vile joke about immigrants and deportation. Ironic since his family immigrated here and he employs and serves mostly immigrants. Almost like his business wouldn't exist if it weren't for immigrants... read more

We've been coming to this establishment for the past 3 years on occasion and had never been disappointed. Most recently, we came here on New Year's Eve. The girl at the register is clueless and doesn't know how to work the register. (She's NOT new. The last time we were here, which was at least 9 months ago, she was the one who took our order, and it was the same thing back then.) We wanted to order the 16 piece chicken. We asked if we could do 8 pieces original and 8 pieces spicy. She couldn't, for the life of her, figure out how to do that on the register. She called over the manager/owner. He didn't know how to do it either. (We were very surprised that this request isn't made enough by customers for them to not know how to do this.) Then he said, "Oh, do it this way. Put it in separately, 8 pieces original and 8 pieces spicy." We immediately questioned if there would be a price difference because 8 pieces cost $16.30 (x2 = $32.60) and 16 pieces cost $29.25. Now, $3.35 isn't really a lot, but again, it kind of is... And most importantly, it's the principal. The manager/owner immediately said, "No, there won't be. I'll take care of that." He punches in the chicken portion of our order and goes away. We place the rest of our order with the girl, which took a VERY long time to do, because she just simply doesn't know their menu and how to use their register. We had to correct her and repeat our order at least 3 times for her to get it right. We paid and stepped to the side to wait for our food. While waiting, we decided to look at our receipt. Lo and behold, we were charged 2 8-pieces at $16.30 each! (Not sure why simply putting in one order of 16 pieces in the register and if you can't specify what kind of flavor/style, then just write it on the receipt so the person putting the order together will know!) We were going to mention it to the manager/owner to see if he would make the situation right, but he was busy in the back and the place was so unorganized. The counter that appeared to be the pick up area was not being used at all. Instead, they were using the small counter where the register is, to give people their order and everyone crammed there. GrubHub/Uber pickups were also confused where to go and it just made the whole place chaotic. While the food itself is edible and even enjoyable, the service and the straight up lying to customers are what could make them lose (my) future business. read more

Chicken Delight - Proof of the way they charged us, when they said we'd be charged for the 16 piece at $29.25. Not the way to do business! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Westbury, New York

We've gotten take out from chicken delight a couple times. The first time we were impressed with the decent amount of food for a somewhat cheap price. This time I'm left wanting. I was so excited for some tasty cheesy, bacon covered potato skins and instead we got plain crispy potato skins...with no toppings. When hubby called to ask if there should be toppings on the skins, the guy who answered the phone responded "of course" and said they couldn't deliver them but offered no refund, coupon for future purchase...nada and then ended up hanging up on my husband. Decent food but do better with checking your dishes before they get sealed up and customer service. read more

pro: -chicken was fresh! and they cooked it right in front of you -spicy wing seasoned well -good sauce to wing ratio cons: -they gave away our food to someone else but the second order came out pretty quickly -the plain fried chicken was a bit under seasoned would come back! read more

Best fried chicken joint on Long Island. Juicy and crispy served chicken. nice and hot. Always my go to place when in Westbury. I also like their macaroni salad and bbq sauce. I wish they had one in Suffolk county. We need a great chicken place out here. "Don't cook tonight, call chicken Delight" read more

This place has been putting out good fried chicken for nearly sixty years. The meat is juicy and the skin is crisp-what more could I ask for? My last visit here was in September of 2024. read more

This is a neighborhood icon. The menu has solid offerings - the fried chicken is of course the star of the show. YES it is greasy, as fried chicken is FRIED (don't understand some of the reviews complaining about the grease). They also have Buffalo Wings that are tastier and cheaper than the chain restaurants. I have always loved getting the fried clams and shrimp. DELICIOUS! The interior is a tiny bit dated, but I find it homely, and quite honestly I would rather that they keep their prices low instead of hiking them up to pay for a cosmetic change. I have been eating Chicken Delight since I was a child, and now my own children are fans as well! read more

I hate giving out bad reviews but I had a pretty horrible experience when I came to Chicken Delight in October. I had been here once prior to this and had ordered the chicken sandwich lunch special combo. I thought it was pretty good, so I stopped by again in October. The interior of the place is a bit dated but it is adequate; there are enough seats and it's not completely dirty or anything. They don't take credit card for orders under $10, so that was kind of a bummer. So I ordered the chicken sandwich combo again ($6.52 with tax included). Kudos for having a cheap lunch special, but when I tasted the sandwich I felt like they changed the chicken cutlet they used from my previous visit. The chicken in the sandwich was the cheapest, most processed piece of garbage I've ever tasted. I felt like it was one of those processed chicken patties that come in packages of 20 that you can buy for $1 at a no name dollar store somewhere. After I took one bite I immediately threw out my meal. The fries were fairly decent and I noticed that the ketchup and barbeque sauce I got here were both pretty low quality. Even the bun on the chicken sandwich was pretty bad. I left after throwing out my meal and went to Taco Bell. I acknowledge that my experience was for the chicken sandwich lunch special combo only. Maybe the other items here are good, but I'm never stepping foot in here again after my last experience. read more

The service is lousy. I entered the establishment which was unwelcoming. . A young girl and a guy behind the counter both looked dirty. i proceeded to place my order the guy was mean mugging in appearance no gloves or apron yet he proceed to prep my food . They need better people behind the counter who appear to care will not return. Nasty food. read more

Chicken? Maybe , Delight ? Definitely not. The wing was dry, macaroni and cheese was cold and so was the biscuit, keep in mind this was an order to stay . The inside is very old and the menu itself is outdated in every aspect, the quality is definitely not good the chicken has zero flavor and I believe even KFC has better fried chicken than this place I'm giving it two stars because of nostalgia value, years ago this place was very good read more

Best cornbread I ever had, BUT they never seem to have it. The food here is mid, though. Nothing amazing, just serviceable. The fried chicken is ok. read more

This is a staple in the Westbury neighborhood because of the infamous RIBS and Chicken. This place has been around forever. This is a great stop to make before you hit the movies and get tempted to purchase concession stand junk. The ribs and chicken here are very flavorful and they serve lots of other grill favorites for the win. Definitely a great place to grab a family meal when you don't feel like cooking. The ribs are my favorite. Succulent and saucy. Give them a try ! They'll delight you read more

They sell burn chicken no taste at all there food has no taste French fries, taste like oil mashed potato gravy from a can, and the people are not nice read more

Chicken Delight is a staple in the area. The menu really doesn't change, the owner remembers you, and the food is consistently good. Small parking lot, small restaurant with less than stellar AC (it's more a grab & go type place, anyway). Staff is always friendly. Menu is pretty basic with offerings of buckets of chicken (white & dark meat available) along with sides. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful and the clam snacks are addicting. And yes, the chicken is greasy but what fried chicken isn't? Okay, maybe the one I make in my air fryer isn't but this is the place you go when you want fried chicken and you want it now. read more

Chicken Delight in the 1960s used to have many locations in Long Island . So recently visit this location that's one of the original ones . Its the seasoning that has all these years made this my one and only Chicken stop. Forget KFC . If you want great Fried Chicken . When on the Island visit Chicken Delight. read more

Ordered the wings and the chicken delight combo. The chicken is quite good, well seasoned and very salty which is how I like it. The corn bread and biscuits were mediocre. Definitely will get wings again - they are the lightly battered seasoned and fried type. read more

Chicken Delight is definitely my favorite fried chicken (when I'm not at Harolds in Chicago.) Not that I'm comparing since nothing is like Harold's Fried Chicken. I really like the team that Jim (the owner) has assembled here. You walk in and get a hello, how may I help you without standing around for five minutes. Even when their busy, you're immediately acknowledged. They move so much chicken that's it's always freshly cooked, perfectly... Golden brown and not greasy, crispy (very important) and well cooked tender meat. Fries are also cooked well and are tasty. The restaurant is definitely set up for a good amount of people to dine in and there is also enough room to wait (not that I have ever had to wait more than a couple of minutes) for take-out. I remember when there was a Chicken Delight on every corner, but alias they have all turned into Sushi or Starbucks. The pricing is extremely fair and I definitely recommend this location if your looking for an easy lunch or dinner and don't feel like cooking and are looking for "the crunch." For this of you who remember... "Don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight." read more

PROS and CONS for our first ever visit. PRO: VERY nice friendly service . PRO: good portions (half chicken w/ fries = $14.00 ish) PRO: ample parking. PRO: VINTAGE signs and statues inside (along with modern collected stuff). CON: The bar-b-que sauce from the dispenser was DISGUSTING . CON: The ketchup dispenser was at a low angle and configuration that - when you filled one of them tiny paper cups - the tip of the squirt nozzle dipped INTO your cup - UNSANITARY! CON: Area looks horrible - but is only mildly sketchy . Nothing really terrible. \ CON: The chicken was pretty drippy with excess grease. Yeah- we know- old school fried chicken . But they really needed to pat down the chicken before they served it . The chicken felt like it was either cooked TOO FAST or for TOO LONG . It almost felt boiled , then fried. The technique here - needs a bit of modification. PRO: fried coating was delicious . CON: Fries were a bit soggy , a bit flavorless . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So in summery - we might give them one more shot . We were in there late for lunch - not crowded . I have a feeling 90% of the customers get it "to go". Decent amount of seats for a small place . If you are a chubby person - you will NOT FIT IN THE BOOTHS - they are too snug ! But they have some regular round tables so that was not a PRO or a CON. Might give them one more try because POPEYES has been expensive and obnoxious lately. Might come back for the SHRIMP only. EDIT: CON: the little TINY dinner roll looked grey and hard. I did not touch it. They need those old school KFC rolls. CON: the buttons on the soda machine felt very grimy -- as if they never get cleaned. read more

Ordered a clam snack, with collard greens, and 2 fried wings on the side. Wasn't charged the right price, because the young lady charged me for something different. The clams were excellent, but the collards and wings were awful! The collards were wet, so wet that after I attempted to drain water from them, they were still swimming in water, and I couldn't eat them. The wings weren't fried with a solid batter. They were soft, closer to baked chicken, and blah. I will not be returning here! read more

I went last week with my buddy and what a joke this place is! They serve you garbage chicken pieces, 2 small tiny pieces lithe they are serving little children. This is definitely not the place to go. CHEAP PLACE AND BEAT UP 2 CHICKEN PIECES read more

The Chicken is juicy and crispy and the barbecue is a must and its very delicious and I recommend the bread is soft and fluffy.

Chicken wings are the best in the neighborhood. Specifically the Buffalo wings, spicy chili wings and the Barbecue wings. The sides are on point so if you need a meal especially if a big game is on and no one is cooking Chicken Delight in Westbury is the place to order. read more

Chicken Delight- I'm in love whenever I hear someone say chicken Delight. Where do I began. Take out- Take out food is so amazing. BBQ pulled pork, Spanish rice, cornbread, half rack of ribs, chicken box, are some of the things I order off the menu. You can literally see them making the food in front of you well for the most part. Dine- Not really that type of restaurant where you want to have a fancy meal served to you. Yes they have table and chairs but nothing to go crazy about. The few times that I did dine in. It was cold winter months and I honestly didn't feel enough heat pumping out for me. Food quality still remains the same. Catering- Yes I have used CD many many many time to cater to a function or event that I'm having. I think my biggest event was my baby shower and yes they catered to over 200 people and not one person was disappointed. I literally had people texting me the next day. Who made the chicken and cornbread and Spanish rice ect...... Once I told them it was catered and I got it from CD they was like oh we picking you up and we taking a trip there now. They needed that Chicken in their life. So every time my friends want chicken they know where to go. The catering process was amazing. Everything is fresh and hot when you pick it up and always ready for the time you need it be ready. And yes reasonable priced. read more

Located on the cusp of Westbury and White Castle, Chicken Delight sends out the fragrance of delicious fried chicken to all who pass by. Today was my day to get a fix and visited CD...my first time there..Passed a million times but never took the time to stop. Although the area could be construed as sketchy, the place has been there 50 + years and is a worthwhile stop if in the area. I ordered lunch and got a bucket of 8 dark meat pieces and a small mashed potatoes with gravy and a soda. The chicken is prepared fresh, never frozen and its deep fried not broasted under pressure like the Colonel. Chicken was juicy, crisp and delightful...I knocked off all 8 pieces!! Even if I dont bring the family here to eat, I will defenitly take out and bring these good fixins home for us to enjoy. read more

Looking for good fried chicken on Long Island? Well look no further cause you found the absolute best fried chicken around. I've been coming here for years for take out and my wife's family has been coming here even longer. It doesn't look like much from the outside, hell, even from the inside, but don't let that sway your decision to eat here or grab some takeout. The chicken is fried perfectly, crisp and delicious. All of the sides are amazing - fries are yummy, cole slaw (home made by the way) is great and the corn bread (also home made) is heavenly. This is a family business that has been passed down from farther to his two children. You will almost always see one of them there and they are always super nice. Don't let the few negative reviews here influence you, if you want good fried chicken, don't cook tonight, call chicken delight! read more

This is definitely the spot to get some fried chicken and fries if you're in the area. Their bbq sauce is my ultimate favorite!!!

Management is good, food is ok. But I do feel they have racist employees and are very slow and unprofessional. I'm not spending money in there again. I advise you not to either. Don't waste your money or time. read more

I first went to Chicken Delight when it opened in Manhattan on Second Avenue between 73-72 Street in the 1960's. It was a great place and the jingle on TV was so much fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pHEZArDa4s I went to this Chicken Delight and it did not disappoint, brought right back to my childhood and it was a wonderful memory, great fried chicken, tasty fries, friendly service and had a great chat with the owner! DON'T COOK TONIGHT CALL CHICKEN DELIGHT ! ! ! read more

Had a terrible experience. Worst food in the garden city area. Food was greasy, soggy and poorly prepared....the quality stinks. Tried to speak with Manager and was told verbatim "we can't help you". I was calm and kept Dave the entire time. Manager l on duty was rude and condescending and said "if you don't like it, don't come back". I won't. read more

Perfect spot if you just want some chicken and a nice environment to hang out. The workers here are extremely friendly and helpful. It obviously wont be top tier chicken but its not supposed to be. I'd rather eat here than any fast food chain any day of the week. Appreciate this place for what it is, a classic place to have chicken read more

I grew up eating at chicken delight since the 80's today I lost all respect for this place Wow omg $13 of garbage.... I can already foresee this chicken delight is not going to last much longer... I know that this place is ran buy a Lady & her Brother it's not your fault but your employees are driving it straight to the the ground the food is bad not the same the level of respect terrible. If I was the owners I would fire the employees. Wow what happened to you guys today 01/05/2022 is the last time i step foot into this place I could go on and on but it just break my heart to see this place drown. I remember walking from westbury middle school to this place. I feel real bad for the owners. Find better employees because the one's you have now are driving it straight to the ground. In 1-2 year it's going to be called Underground Chicken Delight!!!!!!!! read more

As my wonderful Anderson family is from Westbury, I've been eating Chicken Delight ever since I was a small child. On our birthdays, we got to choose whatever we wanted for dinner.

I haven't been to a chicken delight since they closed the store on hillside ave in Williston Park . Went to CD in Westbury just on a fluke. I have to say in using a pun - it was a delight. The chicken was good the ribs even better - the meat feel off the bone. The potato and cole slaw were delicious. And to top it off two days later I had the leftovers and both were still very tasty. I will be back read more

Food here is amazing ! came out fresh. me and my boyfriend enjoyed it ! i didn't give it a 5 star rating because the way I heard the manager (or team member I'm not really sure ) talk to her other team member . they need to show professionalism when it comes to working . arguing in front of guests isn't the proper thing to do . read more

This place is horrible. Ordered 1/2 fried chicken, they gave me 4 piece dark. Ordered a biscuit, hard as a rock. Noodle salad taste old and chicken flavoring was inconsistent. One piece one very salty and the other 3 were bland, no quality control whatseover. Last but not least I ordered and paid for a sweet potatoe pie they never put in the bag. Complete incompetence. Don't walk...run! read more
