    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.

    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.

    I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.

The menu inside breaks down all of the sandwhiches, you roll up to the deli counter when they say next, spill out your order (add/remove stuff to your order) and you're done.

Be PREPARED this Sammie has some chili honey liquid /oil sauce they put on it and it's tasty but it's a lot. The staff are friendly - just focused on getting your order and getting it to you so you can enjoy. The wall is pretty interested they have made their own decor out of door panel fixtures.

They had 3 staff, 1 preparing not pickup orders and managing the register, one making orders with a stack of prepared orders whose names they weren't calling?!?
