    Chili Honey Chicken Sandwich
    Oscar L.

    Honestly pretty good fried chicken sandwich. You can order from the kiosk once inside. There's not much seating, but most people finish quickly so the wait isn't too bad.

    The food is good, service is quick and friendly. Ambience isn't really a thing. It's a place one goes for a quick bite or take out. There is about 5 tables but foods good and it's on the way to my bus. Definitely check it out, it's a spicy place so keep that in mind when choosing your spice level!!!!

    Yummy Chicken Spot, decent bit of seating! Gets crowded during peak hours. I got the plain chicken with mac and fries! Even the plain has a tad bit of the spice (could've been the sauce) but I'm pretty heat sensitive and thought it wasn't too much. Really yummy

    PROs- quantity and taste CONs- no space to sit , hard to find Tried fluffies for the first time.. pretty close to Park Avenue and a good location.. there was construction outside and was pretty messy outside.. It is very difficult to locate this place because of this . Inside was good but a little cramped... seating arrangements could be better as we had no seats for dining.. There are only a few seats which were all occupied... Was surprised to see tandoori chicken rice bowl but could not try it this time.. I tried the Nashville hot chicken with rice and it was OK.. It was a bit oily, but the flavor was good.. quantity was a lot.. couldn't finish the whole thing.. I like their sauce.. went well with the chicken.. I will try tandoori chicken next.. service was a bit slow and the ordering process was also slow.. liked it overall, but could've been better.. 3 Stars .

    This spot is lit. Nothing but teenagers swarming this place. But I have to say. They spicy chicken sandwich was well worth the wait. Definitely have to come back here and try the wings. Must try if you have the opportunity. Live, love and laugh - Sha

    ​I finally checked out Fluffies Hot Chicken near work, and it definitely has a specific vibe. It was packed with teenagers and the music gave it that trendy, high-energy Atlanta feel. ​I ordered the Fluffies Filled Mac at a medium spice level. To be honest, the mac and cheese was pretty standard--creamy and non-baked, but the flavor profile was a bit basic. The chicken itself was solid, though it didn't necessarily blow me away or redefine Nashville hot chicken for me. That said, the portion was huge for $14, and the service was impressively fast; I was out the door in under five minutes. Good for a quick, filling lunch, but maybe more about the scene than the seasoning.

    Solid spot for halal fast food in the city. Ordered the nashville chicken burger and 5 piece mango habanero chicken wings. The burger was much larger than the average burger spot and we ended up receiving an extra wing also, happy surprises haha. The wings packed a punch in terms of spice, but it wasn't unbearable. Ordered the 2nd highest spice level for the burger but it was less spicy than the mango habanero. The chicken for both the wings and burger was really spicy which I appreciated. I do wish the wings were coated a bit more completely in the mango sauce. The real star of the show was the Fluffies sauce, it was a game changer for the taste of both items. All in all great value for the amount you pay

    Ok. I looked for good lunch spots on Yelp and didn't see this one. However, a YouTube short caught my attention with super gooey mac and cheese. Often, videos are hype pieces but not this time! The building is near Grand Central and is quite small inside. Music is playing and you can either walk up or use a kiosk to order. The menu is straightforward but you should definitely choose the loaded mac. I ordered the Hot, which was not very hot, but was tasty. My kids loved the gooey, cheesey Mac!

    My nephew had been begging to try this place after seeing it all over social media -- but sadly, it didn't live up to the hype. The portion size was decent for $14. The chicken tasted fresh, but the spice rub was way too heavy on his order. We had to brush a lot of it off just to make it edible. The mac and cheese was a letdown, not really edible -- mushy, bland, and honestly pretty gross. At least it was only $5. My favorite part was the Fluffies secret sauce. I would buy it if they sold it in the market. Overall, not a great experience. The place is tiny and clearly geared toward take-out. There's very limited seating inside, but they do have a few high-top tables outside where you can stand and eat. The food looks much better in my posted photo than it tasted. The girl at the counter was very sweet.

    When I first saw Fluffies, I thought it was a copycat of the popular Dave's Hot Chicken chain. Fluffies was started by two brothers, Raad and Saad, who were inspired by their upbringing and claimed to have added some South Asian flavor to their chicken. Honestly, I didn't really notice it in the flavor and it tasted like any other spicy chicken place. What I will praise is that their portion sizes are big. For example, their signature Chicken Sandwich is bigger than Popeye's. However, their prices are too high for a fast food place. Their combo deal is a sandwich, fries, and one tender for about $20. You can get a similarly sized combo at Dave's that tastes just as good for $14. The place is also very small with almost no seating. Fluffies has been getting a lot of business due to social media hype, but it was just average.

    Fried chicken was overall a good texture but not a fan of the flavor. The Mac and cheese was too Al dente for my taste. Ordering and the wait was quick.

    I tried this place out after seeing it everywhere on TikTok. I wish I could give it a better rating but, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I thought the chicken was well fried, juicy, and seasoned well but I've had better fried chicken. The mac-n-cheese I found flavorless and had a mushy like texture that didn't pair well with the chicken tenders. The biscuit chicken sandwich was very dry and crumbled at bite. I prefer a more buttery biscuit. It did come with a zesty cheese sauce gravy, I did not like the taste of it. The mozzarella sticks were gooey and crunchy but, missed the mark with no real flavor and unseasoned breadcrumb coating. I've had better mozzarella sticks. The restaurant is really small and only fits a few benches that are placed weirdly inside the restaurant. The place was packed with customers and Uber Eats orders. Servers were very behind with orders, mixed up a lot of orders, and it looked very chaotic in the back. There are better fried chicken spots around in the city than Fluffies, fortunately.

    I'd give this a 3.5 if Yelp had that option. My spice level was mild which wasn't my choice. I asked for the 2nd spiciest level. So that ruined the meal for me a bit. Mild barely had any kick to it. It was more of a weak aftertaste. As I was eating the meal all I could think of was how much better it'd be if it were spicy. Like many of you, I've seen the influencer videos. This is just another reminder that these people are getting paid to say good things or are at least getting the higher quality selections. The Mac and cheese were very underwhelming. It wasn't gooey or creamy. I've had better Mac from KFC and Popeyes. It wasn't even soft. I wouldn't order it again. The fries were good though. I could see me getting the filled fries. They were crispy too. Nothing extraordinary, just well made crispy fries. The chicken itself, valid. It wasn't even soft actually very good. It was nice and crispy. Tasted fresh as well, the real star of the meal. This one lived up to the hype. Off the strength of the chicken alone, I'm willing to come back. However as I mentioned, I need a spicier. The chicken was actually sweet. All in all, a decent spot but overhyped. Everything came out to $15 and it was a good portion. Next time I come back I'll settle for the sandwich and a higher spice level. If the chicken wasn't as good as it were, then I wouldn't com back here.

This was my first time dining at the Lincoln Square location on 63rd Street, which opened in 2012, and it was outstanding. A friend was celebrating her promotion and invited a group of friends to join her. We were a table of 11 and were seated in the back dining room. Considering the size of our group, the service was remarkable--attentive, efficient, and never intrusive. I started with a gin martini, which was perfectly made. We ordered an assortment of appetizers to share, making it easy for everyone to sample several things from the menu. For my main course, I went with the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. Dessert was the highlight of the meal for me. The "Death by Chocolate" was outstanding--a rich chocolate mousse, a caramelized layer of crispy sugar over it, and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. It was the perfect way to finish the evening. Walking into the restaurant, the first thing that caught my attention was the impressive 50-foot zinc bar. The spacious dining room, designed by the Rockwell Group, has an industrial-chic feel, with white subway-tiled walls, reclaimed wood, and large windows. There's also a classic black-and-white photo booth in the basement, which adds a fun touch. The menu is broad enough to appeal to almost everyone, ranging from a raw seafood bar and prime steaks to burgers, mac 'n cheese, and popular brunch dishes. I also appreciate the complimentary house-filtered still and sparkling water--a small detail, but a nice touch. The location is particularly convenient for Lincoln Center, with easy access from the 1 train at 66th Street-Lincoln Center and the A, B, C, and D trains at Columbus Circle. A Little History The Smith traces its roots to 2007, when Jeffrey Lefcourt and Michael Jacobs opened the original location in the East Village. The 63rd Street restaurant opened in November 2012 as the brand's third New York City location, designed to serve Upper West Side residents as well as the large number of people attending performances at Lincoln Center. After years of enjoying the East Village location, I'm glad I finally made it to the 63rd Street restaurant. With excellent service, a lively atmosphere, a broad menu, and a great location, it delivered a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back.
