    Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich, Animal Style Fries
    Raia S.

    I've been here a couple of times, once for the burger a while ago, and recently for the chicken sandwich. It is nice that it's part of the bar and you can get real food while you're out, and I do remember enjoying the burger. But the chicken sandwich was just strange in all the wrong ways. I'm a fan of cilantro, but there was wayyy too much and I looked a little silly piling up my herbs on my tray in the bar. My friend hates cilantro and had to pick off all of it. I just didn't enjoy eating this sandwich, I didn't think the chicken was seasoned well and it was exploding out of the bun in the wrong way, the slaw and sauce didn't complement the other flavors in the sandwich. We did really like the animal style fries, which I've gotten before, nice and crispy and with that delish queso. I never got why the onions were on there but still enjoyed. I'd stick with the burger, but honestly there are better ones out there. It's only useful if you're hanging at the bar and feeling peckish. Maybe just get fries.

    we were in the mood for burgers after a jazz show on vday and this was the closest place nearby. i have to say, the food was PHENOMENAL. i'm absolutely obsessed with the animal style fries. the server at the window was the sweetest and the music was bumping. i can't wait to come back!

    I came here due to a friend's recommendation. I love fried chicken and she knows it. I got the crispy fried chicken sandwich and the animal style fries. The chicken sandwich was made out of thigh meat, which is amazing as a big dark meat fan. The thigh is actually my favorite. The sandwich was full of cilantro and that was alot of the taste I had as well as the ranch. Be warned: it is a very very messy meal as the bun does not contain the chicken at all. It was delicious though. Chicken was pretty tender and it was pretty crispy too. The animal style fries were good too but at $11 I may pass on this next time in favor of the $6 regular fries. Lowkey think I like in n out original animal style better.

    great burger spot - ordered for take out & got the pop's burger with animal fries. had the best time eating this cozy meal with a movie. also, i recommend getting a side of special sauce if you love a saucey burger

    It's a Friday night with unseasonably warm weather, and we're exploring the neighborhood for a taste of something new. Since it was a full house, we had to go for the outdoor seating. Sadly, it quickly became the smokers' section. Thankfully, we were able to escape by grabbing an available table indoors. I ordered the Dusty Dog (corn-battered on a stick mustard, spicy mayo, cilantro scallion, crispy shallots, and togarashi) and really appreciated the employee confirming whether the hotdogs were 100% beef. It tasted alright, alongside a handful of crispy fries that I grabbed from a friend.

    Yum!

    This is a small little kitchen within The Johnsons so it's great for drunk eats or just a pickup and go. The best part of all this is that they have vegetarian alternatives for all their choices. I got the Chop Burger vegetarian with a veggie burger (for $1 extra) and my friend got the grumpy meal. Both were big enough portions and the Yelp Check-in reward was fries! The fries were cooked perfectly a good size (and a good size portion) and had some great seasoning. There's place to eat indoor and outdoor and it was a really quick turn around. Definitely a place I'll come back when I'm craving a veggie burger!

    Solid 4 and that's solely based on takeout. Grumpy box makes a perfect "I really need to get ready for that rave" pre load of calories.

    It's quite the non descript location if you're not paying attention, you will surely pass it. Located around the corner from a few nightspots I never would have noticed this place had I not seen him on Yelp. I called in an order for pickup and the check-in special was honored! So sweet! The service that come out of the kitchen is impeccable. There is a small staff the owner (hi, Bill!), and 2 workers that are crank it out the best stuff ever. Crisp golden fries (Asian flavor to them, ummmmm), fresh burgers and portable drinks? Yes please. Never mind the picture of my pain killer isnt frozen, its for later (I'm excited). I will be sure to use these nice folks for delivery and irl the future.

    I've ordered strange flavor burger shack before and recently stopped in for pickup for the first time so I decided why not write a review. Strange flavor has some, well.. strange flavors, but good ones at that! What you see in the picture is my typical order: the chop burger (no pickles) and animal style fries. Both have interesting flavors you wouldn't normally expect from a burger place! The burger even has peanuts which, although sounds odd, is actually really good for a different textural component. The fries are more crunchy than soft but the sauce is plentiful and welcomed. They also give you a ton, so I'd recommend sharing an order instead of getting one per person. It's not something I crave all the time, but once in awhile I get the urge for some strange flavors!

    My friend's corn dog. I didn't have it but he said it was a solid A.

    To be clear, this little burger shack is located inside The Johnson's, an 80s style retro bar. The shack offers a few classic burgers, loaded fries, and crispy chicken sandwiches. You order at the shack window, they give you a number and bring the food to your table at the bar. The fries alone come in a huge portion so I don't know why I ordered a chicken sandwich but that's what I did. Dang that chimken was good! I don't know what batter they use but the outside crisp was phenomenal. They use some sort of Asian-style seasoning blend, which was a delightfully scrumptious surprise. The other surprise was how enormous the chicken was. This is a huge chicken cutlet sandwiched between a regular potato bun. They could easily make two chicken sandwiches w that amount of cutlet, possibly even three. So I recommend splitting the sandwich w someone. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the sandwich but feast thine eyes upon these fries. I recommend.

    Honestly chicken sandwich gas Bring a microwave for the fries After you grab it you gotta grab the $2 beer from Johnson's in back to complete the meal

    Omg! I've been trying to go this place for months but since it's out of my way (reside in Queens)…read moreand it's located in Bushwick, BK, I never had the chance. Until Sunday 9/20/26, I happened to be around the area and was carving some good food so stumbled upon this place. That's when I remembered bookmarking this place on Yelp and I'm so glad I got to try this place with my friends bc every one of them enjoyed their food! I love that it's Asian fusion and learned that owners are Chinese and Bangladeshi. It felt like I was back home! What makes it better is that it has Halal options which def worked to my advantage. Every single item ordered was delicious (my least favorite was the lamb chops as it was a bit dry for my taste). Our host/waiter Kat was amazing and very patient. She answered all of our questions and made great suggestions. The place was a bit noisy but it is NYC after all! I also loved the modern decor; had a nice touch to it. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and I can't wait to return and try other items from the menu.

Now to the food......I ordered the crab fried rice for $24 and I received just rice with crab I could barely find. Waste of money. I also ordered the crispy garlic fried chicken. It was okay. Lightly fried chicken with soy sauce on the plate to dip I guess. I also tried the general Tao's shrimp. It was good but very spicy. I also ordered food to go for my husband. Again with the crab fried rice no crab. FYI when I ordered I told the waitress to make sure they add the crab so I don't just pay for rice. For a pint it was $17 just for rice. I packed up the chicken for him because I didn't love it and he wanted to try it. My daughter ordered the crab fried rice which had a very very very small piece of shredded crab. She liked the ribs and her general Tao's shrimp because she likes spicy. They charge for sauce but she did not tell me until I saw it on the bill. 20% gratuity and a fee for credit card use. And on the bill they have the nerve to put suggested additional tip. I don't think so. Overall this was a restaurant that I tried but would definitely not return.

Since my friends and I all live in Manhattan, it was an adventure for us. A rooftop restaurant with an outdoor terrace yes please. Decor was gorgeous and sleek. Although the bar was small, it was lighted and eye-catching. A huge Nutcracker greets you as soon as you walk inside. The space was loft style with seating upstairs as well as an outdoor terrace. (Terrace was closed due to winter). There was a DJ booth upstairs as well which led me to believe the place might turn into a club/lounge. Lots of seating everywhere. The crowd was mild when we arrived with a few birthdays observed. As the day went on the crowd was a bit more lively. The food looked quite delicious as my friends ordered steak and eggs and an English Muffin dish with poached eggs and fries. Good sized portions for the price. However, my French Toast was less than desired. Three sad little pieces of a faux brioche bread that was served cold. No salad on the plate as you can see from the picture. This was my meal for the day and not satisfying at all. Our waitress was very nice and did her due diligence EXCEPT for our water service. We ordered water and she did not specify that there was a charge for it. When our bill came and we asked about it, she stated that we "asked for flat water not tap water". I did not recall her stating there was a charge. She assumed we wanted flat BOTTLED water and charged us for it. Not good service since she was not being transparent. Bathrooms were clean. The place is definitely a vibe. If you are looking for views of the city and overpricing in Queens, this is your place. I would have to weigh my options prior to a second visit as I can't say it would be my first choice.
