food was good. tried loaded mac bowl, fried and sandwich. all good. I like the dipping sauce.

Always fresh, best fries ive had at any hot chicken spot across the board by FAR, people are always extremely nice and proud to serve legitimate cook to order food - owner is a great dude as well, you can tell he really cares and wants you to have a good experience. The one time I got not so fresh fries, they replaced them with an entire basket of fresh ones for free. They do use a wet batter, so it's not the super crunchy fried chicken you may be used to, little different but still extremely good. Fav chicken spot, can't recommend enough. P read more

This was our family's first visit to HCK. The people here were very friendly and helpful. The food was a very good fast food style of chicken sandwiches and other chicken related options. The seating was open and nicely lit. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick casual meal. read more

Awesome food, very pleasant staff, fast and clean. What more could you ask for? Sauce is out of this world good.

We had no idea what to expect and we were blown away! We both got the chicken sandwich, my husband got his plain and I got mine in the original Good sauce and it was delicious. The good sauce is *chef's kiss*. Can't wait to go back. I will say, we went within a week of them opening and they did get our order slightly wrong, but i'm not letting that impact the rating because the food was that good. read more

Been wanting to try this place and Dave's Hot Chicken. Dave's was closer to where I was, but they were packed so I came here instead. I think overall it was like 3.5 to 3.75 stars. I think the food was good, but I had some issues with service/product availability. Food: We ordered the #2 combo with 2 fingers, fries, and a drink to go. Since it was to go and we had a 10 min or so drive, I'm ok with some crispiness being gone. The chicken I thought was good. I had the Afterburner and my wife had the base. I liked the sweetness with a bit of the heat. I would try the next step up heat-wise next time. The chicken could have been crispier, but as I said, I'll chalk it up to the drive. The fries were very good. Nice and crispy. The dipping sauce was good, but nothing special. My biggest complaint was the fountain drinks. I went to fill them once my order was ready and of the 8-10 dispensers, only 3 did NOT have stickers on them which indicated they weren't working. It's lunchtime on a Monday. How do you not have your fountain drinks working? I got the lemonade...it was all water, no flavor. I'm guessing the fountain drink dispenser isn't working at all. Service: I went up to the counter and gave my order and the girl asked me what type of sauce. I said out loud that I couldn't remember the sauces and proceeded to try to find them on the menu. The girl didn't bother to tell me what they were or even point them out on the menu which led to things taking longer as I scanned the menu. The other annoying thing was she didn't bother to tell me basically none of the fountain drinks were working. I would have just ordered the food and no drinks or gotten a can of something from the fridge if I had known the status of the fountain drinks. I would come again and try the hotter chicken, but eat in the restaurant. read more

Great hot chicken! The staff was super nice and helpful as well. Fries were perfect fly cooked and everything was piping hot. Better that Dave's Hot Chicken! read more

The wife and I both love Dave's Hot Chicken, and decided to give HCK a try. What a mistake. The Chicken Fingers were wet, slimy and covered in some soy-based sauce (we ordered them in "base" hot sauce). The "base" sauce wasn't hot at all. We got sauces on the side of various heats. Their Buffalo sauce was passable for a McDonalds, but disappointing for a specialty Hot Chicken restaurant. We also got some boneless wings, plain, with the intention of dipping into the sauces. The chicken was juicy and cooked well, but bland and flavorless. French Fries were acceptable. Will not order again. read more

Small dine In area. Service is fast and friendly. Ordered online got everything I ordered and on time. Food smelled amazing while driving home. After burn infused chicken was so tasty and the waffle had an amazing flavor texture cooked to perfection!! Can't wait to go back!!! Ambiance is cute and simple. read more

Chicken was saturated in sauce and instead of being one piece, it was multiple pieces which were chewy and somewhat underdone. Very expensive as well. read more

This was my first time going into the shop and everything was delicious, and the staff are some of the kindest most attentive people! I got the chicken sandwich combo at level 3, it was super spicy but so so good. I would definitely go back, support your local businesses! read more

A very balanced sandwich; medium wasn't too spicy so I'd wager going hotter won't kill you like some places. Great fries; good included dipping sauce. Will be going back for sure. read more

I come to this place all the time the staff and owner have always been great! The customer service couldn't be better but today I came and the owner wasn't here and there is an older woman running the checkout and she was extremely rude. The food was still great but couldn't help but say it ruined my experience for the place this would be the second time I came while she is working and she is just straight up rude. Just looked at the receipt her name was Krystal I wouldn't recommend having this lady be the front of your business as in it's a bad look read more

Food was absolutely gross, the chicken was tough and chewy, not one of the people I attended with was able to finish their meal, food definitely did not come hot. Do your self a favor and don't come here, waste of money , go to hen house or Dave's hot chicken read more

We ordered to go and the service was quick. All I have to say about the food is that it was simply delicious. It left me wanting more. The spot itself is cozy and has a couple of table inside if you wanted to dine in. read more

The guy behind the counter was extremely rude. When asked spice level, i said mild, and he looked at us as if i was stupid, but then i realized they had their own sauces. We had never been here before so how would we know? He could have kindly told us but instead gave us an annoyed look. He was just cold during the whole interaction. The food was not good either. Chicken was bland. read more

This place is AMAZING. The food is delicious. The chicken is fresh and the fries are next level!!!!! Make sure to get an extra side of "good sauce". The owner is very personable and came by our table several times to make sure we were good. I really appreciated that. If you're thinking about eating here RUN now!! You won't be disappointed. read more

Took my order from uber eats then immediately closed once they got my money. I called the restaurant and they confirmed the food was ready. Then I got disconnected calls when I tried calling again. These guys are scammers. read more

I get the #2 combo! I get it country style because I'm not a fan of sauce but the side of sauce it comes with is soooo good!!!! I love it here, hands down the best customer service every time and the food is top tier! I legit crave it read more

HCK Hot Chicken - Nashville chicken sandwich (after burner sauce) and fries - Salad Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Service 10/10 - Food 10/10 - Atmosphere 10/10 ... Everything was great. Highly recommend!

Best chicken place around right now. I went to their grand opening and got wings and the Afterburner sauce, and it was literally to die for. The counter staff was so friendly and made sure every customer was cared for, and the service was quick. I did take out, and wish I hadn't because I wanted to order more! I came back a few days later and got the loaded mac and cheese, and I don't think I'll ever get mac from anywhere else ever again. I brought some friends and we got a table, and the restaurant area itself is super cool. There's like a big street-style mural on one wall and a tall shelf full of tasty looking hot sauces, and it's atmosphere is very modern and "cool". Amherst needed a place like this! I'll forever keep recommending it to everyone I know. read more

My first time here was today and HOOOOLY HECK delicious. Big ass tenders, crispy fries, sauce on point (started with their first level, 3 more to try) and accommodating. Also being on lunch break, was quick to be made without a loss in quality. Well be back. read more

Arrived at 8:45. Was told the fryer and waffle maker were off so the menu was limited. Of course, we left as did the other people waiting. Fortunately, Jim's Steakout is next door. read more

Chicken was good, loaded fries were excellent. The owner was very personable and kind. Provided great service

We ordered HCK for my son's birthday party. Everything was absolutely delicious, easy to order, ready on time, and reasonably priced. The owner is kind and went out of his way to confirm the time and order twice before the day of the event. If you're considering ordering food for an event, don't miss out on this gem! read more

Loaded mac & cheese bowl is off the hook. The sauces are fantastic. They get hot, but they're freaking fantastic. First time here will be back. read more

Great food. Better service. Far better when compared to other chicken places that opened at the same time.

Place just opened today and I happened to be driving by, figured I'd check it out. Got the #1 combo, angry sauce on the sandwich. Phenomenal. Crispy fried and dipped in the sauce, and the chicken inside was moist and delicious. Nice potato roll was hearty enough to hold everything together. Got a side of cheese sauce for my fries, which were crinkle cut and seasoned, and man they were fantastic. That cheese sauce is straight cash $. If they keep up this level of quality they'll have a lot of happy qQcustomers very soon! read more

Amazing food, the chicken is perfectly crispy and the sauce is to die for I would drink it if I could. The fries are seasoned well too. The service is fast and I was given recommendations since it was my first time there. The place is clean with tables if you want to sit down and enjoy the meal :) read more

My husband and I love this place. Amazing chicken. Incredible fries. Even better service!

Ok, tried the angry hot sauce which was pretty spicy but had a bit of an odd flavor. Gastrolab chicken sandwich definitely better.

The chicken sandwich was delicious and the fries were seasoned great and paired well with the "good" sauce!

Fast and friendly! Great food as well!! Try the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, you won't be disappointed!

I went there with my dad a month ago and the server vrought our food to us my dad ate half of it found hair in the food told the owner they wouldn't do anything disgusting read more

Where to begin. My friend took me to this restaurant after seeing some amazing reviews online. The ambiance is nice the staff is friendly the only thing that ruin my experience is a big mistake that the food runner did. He gave our food to a couple in another table. When the couple realized the mistake the server took the food out their table and unfortunately brought it straight to us if you are in the restaurant business you know thats a NO NO the server was apologetic and promised us that food was not touched but the lady in the other table was already eating my French fries before the retrieve the plates he ask me if everything was okay and I told him that I dint feel comfortable if it was possible get a new fresh meal he said Yes took my plate went back to the kitchen and came back quick with another plate to be honet the chicken look like he just flip it over and the same broken French fries were in the plate. Yum Yum. read more
