Wooooooo when I say their chicken sandwich is good, it was GOOOOOOOD! It was so good that I had to get it the next day again. Back to back chicken sandwich for lunch lol idk what kind of sauce they put in there but it was what made the whole chicken sandwich diff from other spots. Also to add that their chicken was tender and crispiness was on point. I just loved it so much!!

I stopped in here for a quick bite for dinner and was really impressed by this new chicken shop. It was pretty empty during the weekday so I ordered and waited at a table for my food, it took about 10-15 mins to come out and everything was delicious. The thigh burger was super juicy, fries were really crispy and I upgraded the drink in my meal to a mango slush drink (forgot what it was called exactly)... it was a little too sweet for my taste but still refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is also super cute[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was one of the few dining in but it looks like a lot of people have discovered this spot and order via takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area and would highly recommend!

Took my teenage son to "This Chicken Is Back" on Northern Blvd in Queens. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a chill spot with friendly vibes and tasty food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They serve Korean-style dishes with a bunch of different sauces to pair with their crispy chicken, shrimp, and sandwiches. My son loved the frozen lemonade, and I was really into the corn slaw, super refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is chill and cozy, with a few tables and benches for seating, plus some screens and even a few games to keep you entertained while you wait or eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were super friendly, gave great recommendations, and kept the vibe relaxed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a fun little spot to grab a bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will try again with others. Meter parking outside.

The chicken is perfectly fried and we thoroughly enjoyed the honey garlic sauce. They have a couple of family set options which are great so you can try a variety of the items on their menu. We came to celebrate our friends' birthdays and the owner(?) gave us a pitcher of beer as service. Our group left happy and full.

Inexpensive combos and meals! The boneless chicken was very juicy and the fries were hot and crispy. I thought the honey soy sauce on the chicken was just a tad too sweet. It left me feeling a little thirsty afterwards. My husband liked the lighter version of the grilled chicken sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a pretty casual establishment and the menu is very similar or identical to Mom's Touch a few years back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a big group and they were very accommodating!

The crispiest, most delicious chicken!! My friend loves Chicken Is Back, so she brought me here and I was SO impressed that I already went back again on my own. If you like chicken (wings, bites, tenders, sandwich, etc.), trust me--this is THE spot! I don't think I've EVER had a better chicken sandwich than the one here, and my friend has said the same. For the wings, my favorites are the plain crispy wings and the honey soy crispy wings. Seriously amazing flavors! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Aside from the delicious food, the service is also excellent and I love the vibe/ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting and art here are super creative and fun, definitely making it a great hangout spot for a group dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend this spot and can't wait to keep coming back!

I came here back when it was Mom's Touch. Definitely sad to see it go but they still serve up a mean fried chicken. Their boneless wings are very juicy and crispy. The honey flavor was a bit too sweet to my liking so I would've liked a little more savory sauce to balance it out. Overall, still a pretty enjoyable dish.

Yummy spicy chicken thigh sandwich
Kammy F.

Excellent sandwich and the chicken is juicy, tender but crispy all at the same time. Service is fast and friendly. Their fries are excellent. It's doubt fried. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a lot of space to sit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't wait to come back to try more items.

I finally got around to trying, chicken is back. I ordered a bunch of things on the menu so I could taste a plethora of items. I really enjoyed everything that I ordered. The portion size were excellent and the taste was also excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although I did not eat in the restaurant, there is lots of space to sit or lounge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The young man who took our order was helpful and got to work right away on our order. I will definitely be going back to try more food.

Honey Soy Crispy Wings (top), Plain Crispy Wings (bottom left), Red Pepper Crispy Wings (bottom right) We got the Chicken Platter Combo A for 4 people and this could have easily fed 5 or 6 people. A really great deal for really crispy and flavorful 10/10!!!! Come by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is spacious and really well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is also really nice, patient, and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have board games[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Came here last night for a quick bite to eat with my hubby and son. We got a premium thigh chicken sandwich. It was delicious. We added honey soy sauce for it. My son loved the french fries. The service was great. Friendly and fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the seating areas. There was a couch with a table then your regular table and chair set up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will def be going back

Premium Thigh Burger.

My nephew and I chose to eat here because Dave's Hot Chicken was packed and we weren't going to stay out in the freezing cold. Glad it worked out that way! This has to be one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. The Premium Thigh Burger was on point. It was so tender and tasted great. Probably the juiciest chicken sandwich I've ever had and I've had many. The burger buns could be better, but it did not take away from the sandwich. The chicken might look bland, but it was well-seasoned. Also, their Organic Lemonade, which was more like a slushy was great as well. Highly recommend this spot.

It's been six years since I last came here. The food is still pretty good and the service was…read morefriendly, but overall I found the sandwiches a bit overpriced. The menu has very detailed, almost elevated descriptions that make everything sound spectacular, but in practice the flavors don't quite come through, especially the sauces, which are barely noticeable. Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.

Food: 5/5 We had the #45 ($20.21 +$5.05 side fries) and #46…read more($19.08 +$5.05 side fries). These were some of the best sandwiches in the area. They perfectly combine tender and flavorful meats with hot pressed bread. Service: 5/5 The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. They checked in at all the right times without being overbearing, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything came out smoothly. Ambiance: 5/5 Press 195 has a cozy, laid-back neighborhood vibe. The space feels warm and inviting, with exposed brick, wood accents, and a casual bar area that makes it feel like a local pub without feeling too loud. The atmosphere feels comfortable, like a go-to spot you can visit any night of the week.
