    Chopped Cheese & Chicken Eggrolls
    Alex F.

    I came here with my father for lunch in midtown. The restaurant is convenient for professionals in the area. We ordered through a kiosk and the food came out pretty quickly. The dining area was fairly clean for a midtown restaurant and the service was friendly and accommodating. The eggrolls and sandwich were fried well; however, they were a little salty. Something that is probably common for a fast food joint. The fries were crispy and paired well with the chicken sandwich. I would definitely come back here and treat myself to lunch during the weekdays.

    Entrance area

    Located on 42nd St between Times Sq and Bryant Park so very accessible via public transportation. Order at Kiosks by the entrance or in-person at the counter (but 0-1 employee there that time so kiosk was better). There is an app but didn't work for me- after making our choices, it said error during checkout. Anyway, app menu and prices were different from the kiosk menu even when we picked the NYC location. Not sure why. As far as the food, I found it not to be anything special in terms of seasoning; not flavorful so needed the sauces that came with (avocado sauce for me). Large pieces of chicken though. Self-serve for fountain drinks. Ample seating in the middle to rear of the place. Restroom code on the receipt is not the correct one so had to ask an employee anyway.

    I have heard good things about Guy Fieri's chicken food chain so I had to try it as soon as they opened one by my job. I walked over during lunch one day, took a menu from Mr. Chicken at the entrance and proceeded to order chicken nuggets with bourbon brown sugar bbq sauces. I'm so glad I got two sauces because I slathered it all over my nuggets and it made the tasting experience so much more delightful. I hope they start selling the sauce separately because I would buy a whole bottle. I can't wait to come back and try their sandwiches next.

    You hear about Flavatown all the time, so when they finally opened an accessible Guy Fieri location that I could try, ya know I had to stop by. I got the Loaded Mac and Cheese with chopped chicken tenders,bacon, and green scallions on top. It was just okay though. The chicken tenders were decently flavored and the bacon and scallions were nice too but the mac and cheese itself was really bland and watery. I understand that you can't have super creamy or thicker mac and cheese in establishments like this because they dry out really easily so they have to go with a more watery consistency but there's not really any flavor to the "cheese" part at all. The service was alright, no complaints there and my meal came out quick, just kind of disappointing that I did not arrive at flavortown. I don't think I reached the halfway point even.

    Nothing special. Dirty bathrooms. Kitchen service had an attitude when I was missing part of my order.

    I stopped in cause I knew it was Guy's place and I was hungry during the photo walking tour I was giving. I wanted to try it out. Rookie move for sure. The chicken on the sandwich was good, but it stops there. The fries had a sugary seasoning thrown in top and the chocolate shake was not one of my favorites. Service was okay. I love Guy, but was not a huge fan of this place.

    I came here for the Grand Opening of Chicken Guy! and it was cool to see him in person and see the ribbon cutting and all. Once inside it was a madhouse. I know grand openings can always be crazy but this one seemed like a bit more than usual. I got the 3 piece chicken tender deluxe meal which comes with fries and soda of your choice.'The sauces I got were BBQ and Honey Mustard. Since it was the grand opening they gave you two extra sauces if you wanted. So I opted for the ranch and the special sauce. All I will say is that this chicken is not for me. I don't know what spices they use in the breading but it's deff not for my taste buds. Their fries were nothing to write home about either. The sauces were nothing special. Tasted like regular BBQ and honey mustard. I think if I am not wrong they make the sauces in house... But I could be wrong. They are also known for their crazy good looking shakes. I did not indulge in one this time. But the samples they were handing out to us in line they looked like fun and delicious flavors. There are better chicken fingers options out there in NYC to go to.

    My family and I were on a trip to New York, and we had a rather aggravating morning and were famished. We were back at our hotel and wanted a quick bite to eat. Next door was Chicken Guy! and so we decided to give it a shot. My brother and I going in got a lot of deja-vu/nostaglia vibes when we walked in. It took us a while to put our finger on why, but eventually we realized it kinda reminded us of the spoof fast food joint in the videogame set in NY called GTAIV. Specifically, it reminded us of Cluckin Bell. Sure, in the game, it was a spoof of Taco Bell and KFC combined... but the colors, how the restaurant was shaped, the chicken, even the mascot... it felt like we were in a Cluckin' Bell. We both laughed out loud hard when we realized this! Outside of this humorous realization, my family did enjoy eating here. The portion size is hearty, hell it almost feels like too much. The chicken is well seasoned, hot and delicious. The fries are perfectly crunchy. The service is way better than what you expect from fast food. We had some laughs, got some grub... it was a great result.

    1 piece of chicken tender...huge chunk of meat.  I was already full from eating this.

    Wow...except for 1 good review, all the others were really bad. This is one of those places, you should go decide for yourself. I met my friends here for a quick dinner. The employees were welcoming once I walked right through the door. The self serve kiosks were next to the door entrance though you wouldn't know unless you turn around. There is a brief hallway before your reached the counter with actual employees. I went to look for my friends before I decided what to order. Since I shared my friend's chicken tender (3) with fries (thank you to my friend!), I decided to get a milkshake (treating myself) and fried pickles (another treat). The employee gave me an order number so when my food is ready, another employee brought it to my table. The wait wasn't too long. The chicken tender was a huge chunk of meat. It wasn't so moist or juicy that your fingers get greasy nor dry that you need a beverage to wash down the food. Eating 1 tender was enough for me since it was thick.I wasn't crazy about the fries. The fried pickles were perfect though it much for me to finish (yes, it's good for sharing). When the employee said their milkshake was good. I was skeptical since milkshakes can be thick or liquidity. I decided to the apple cinnamon cereal milkshake. It sounds a bit strange but since this is a treat, I'm going all out. Theirs was thick so it was perfect for me. There are a lot of pictures in the back seating area. If you need the restroom, follow the chicken feet prints. Make sure you get a receipt to get the bathroom code. Go try for yourself and decide.

    Chicken Strips and Fries
    Alicia M.

    Chicken strip portions are generous. Instead of chunky breading, these pieces have an eating coating along a slab of chicken. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. I wasn't a fan of the sauces I got but there were so many to choose from, so there may be better sauces than what I ordered. Food came out within a minute or two of ordering. The restaurant was a little grimy but had plenty of seating.

    Chicken tenders
    Maram A.

    The chicken is very tasty. It's crispy in a unique way. It was very flavourful and didn't need a sauce. However I did get the donkey sauce and that was good too. The fries were very bad. They were chewy and limp. They had little potato in them and were not fresh. The restaurant is clean and is a fast food decor. They're are seats in the back. Workers were friendly. The chicken tenders came out quickly but the sandwich took a long time. One thing to note is the workers spend a long time in the bathroom. I think yhe bathroom is the escape and break room. Both my friend and I waited over ten minutes to wash our hands and it was the workers in the bathrooms. I recommend a separate hand-wash area or a breakroom for the workers. The workers were fine but since the restaurant is an open concept and customers can see how the workers work there should be an awareness of what they talk about and handle the front station. Would come back here but bring your own handwipes.

    My family and I came here for the first time on vacation. I would give the children nuggets a 4 star, but I was ok with the rolls. Overall, a 3.5 stars would be the correct rating.

    Three Tenders Combo (~$13) & The O.G. Sandwich (~$8) & 4 Sauces
    Aya E.

    Ordered: The O.G. Sandwich (~$8): with pickles & Special Sauce Three Tenders Combo (~$13): with fries, fountain drink (Diet Coke), and 2 sauces (Special Sauce & Donkey Sauce) 2 Additional Sauces: Chipotle Ranch & Nashville Hot Honey (complimentary on grand opening day) Aya's take: Chicken Guy officially had their grand opening on February 26 where Guy Fieri himself came for the ribbon cutting! I wasn't there then but still had a chance to see Guy Fieri at the Kelly Clarkson Show (airing on February 28). After the show, we decided to check out the Chicken Guy to see if it was any good. These tenders are unlike most other chains; they're flatter, crispier, and heavily seasoned. Despite being heavily seasoned, the sauces add so much more flavor and depth to every bite. Of the 4 sauces we tried, the Special Sauce and Chipotle Ranch were my favorite! The Special Sauce is a mix of ketchup, mayo, mustard, and pickle juice. The Donkey Sauce is similar to a garlic aioli but had a bit too much mayo for my liking. The Nashville Hot Honey was pretty forgettable. There's 10 sauces to choose from so grab a few to complement your meal! The O.G. Sandwich was actually so satisfying because they butter the bun so well and the special sauce seeps into the bun and chicken tenders. The Three Tenders Combo is a solid option but you definitely need the sauces for that added flavor profile. The fries are nicely crisp and fully coated with seasonings. I'm actually surprised to see so many bad reviews; it's decent and filling but it was a good one time try for me.

Here's the rundown: - naan: recommend this, though maybe overhyped myself based on previous reviews. The yogurt sauce was delish, but the bread itself was very good but not mind blowing. - BLT salad: dark horse fav! Tons of flavor and I kept going back for more. Recommend as an app - Union Square bento: honestly, wish this came in a real bento box. Seems like a miss, but I suppose separate plates give you more volume. Good to add as a side to whatever else you get. Cabbage was the best of the trio. - rice bowl: squash and rice were solid, but the shrimp was the standout here! Very flavorful shrimp. Not sure how they packed so much flavor into the little bites of them - fried chicken thighs: I mean, yes. They're juicy. They're fried excellently. The side sauces are creative and great for vinegar-lovers like me I also got the carrot cocktail which was ultra smooth and had the right amount of dill flavor. We got two cookies to go which were divine. I'd get them to stay to try it with the oolong milk next time, but we had to run. The service was friendly, courteous. Ambiance was trendy but not uptight. Would recommend for a nicer night out

    My cousin recommended this spot, saying it was a great choice if I was looking for something…read morehealthy, and it definitely delivered. The concept is similar to Chipotle, where you build your own meal by choosing a protein, grain, sauce, and toppings. I created a bowl with white rice, caramelized steak, broccoli, and pesto, and paired it with a strawberry mint lemonade. The portion size was enormous--I easily could have stretched it into three meals. Even better, the food tasted just as good as it looked. The pesto added a ton of flavor, and while I usually pair pesto with chicken, it worked surprisingly well with the caramelized steak. The strawberry mint lemonade was also refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly. My only criticism is the lack of seating. There are only a handful of stools and one small table, and every seat was occupied when we visited, so we had to take our food elsewhere to eat. If they had a bit more seating, the experience would have been even better. Overall, this was a delicious, healthy meal with generous portions, and I'd gladly stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

And it doesn't have that dead space on the 2nd floor where though there may have been a place for you to sit, didn't mean that you'd necessarily enjoyed yourself there: Chances were that'd you'd have to hear someone's conversation in person or on the phone, as if you were on the subway. None of that here now with 4, albeit generous, seats facing the window: The expectation now is that during the lunch rush, you're going straight back to your desk or, if it's nice outside, sit outside (so a great use of the car-free section of Broadway). I had the Hot Chicken Plate: It was the special for folks with the SG app so I thought, why not. I picked double quinoa, blackened chicken, sweet potato and everything else you can see in my photo. The warm quinoa and the chicken were fantastic: You know SG is making a play for Chipotle's customers by offering what's basically a rice base with a chicken and salad topping. I was not a fan of the spicy broccoli which I found too salty. If you overload your plate with toppings it will easily go over the Chipotle price point: You'll know what's happening now that you have to enter it all in yourself on one of 3 tablets at the counter that divides the public from the kitchen. Can't wait to see the lunch crowd at the new spot!
