Chicken Shack Astoria Reviews
I went there in person, and I showed up absolutely starving, hoping for something good and they definitely came through. I’m actually a returning customer. I moved away for a bit, but now I’m back in the area, and it felt great to return to the same awesome food. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki Platter, and it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while super fresh, flavorful, and fast. They’ve got a Grade A rating, which you can tell from how clean and well-kept the place is. The staff was really friendly too .. Overall, great food, great service, and solid vibes. Definitely recommend!
Tasty food and good portions. Friendly atmosphere. My go to place!
My meal here deserves more than polite appreciation. The servings are generous, the cooking is skilled, and flavors are spot on. The employees exhibited remarkable warmth and happily addressed all inquiries. This restaurant provides distinctive offerings and I'm pleased it exists. This restaurant remains surprisingly unknown!
The Half Chicken Meal at Chicken Shack is absolutely delicious. The chicken is juicy, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked with crispy skin. The rice and beans on the side are flavorful and complement the meal perfectly. It’s a hearty, satisfying dish that tastes fresh and homemade. Highly recommended
Pretty decent spot with very delicious BBQ chicken and ribs. Place is a tad bit on the small side but there weren't a lot of people inside so it was easy for me to sit in and eat. The lady behind the counter while not really friendly was polite and served me in adequate and proper time. I ordered the 1/4 Chicken and Ribs along with rice and beans, pita bread and a dessert of chocolate pudding on the side. The entree really hit the spot, the ribs were so tender and juicy and so was the chicken. I enjoyed that meal but it filled me up a bit too proper, I didn't have much room for dessert so I took it home with me. My order overall was $25 and I say it was pretty decent. I enjoyed my meal here.
Let me say this: I've eaten at a lot of chicken places around the world and for some reason, this grilled chicken at Astoria's Chicken Shack is THE BEST CHICKEN I've eaten. Hands down. No debate. I eat here regularly. I'm talking multiple times a week. I eat at the restaurant and I order delivery sometimes. It's the best. The chicken is moist and tender. You can see the chef make it right in front of you on the flame grill so you know IT IS VERY FRESH! It has a delicious flavor to it and the sauces complement the chicken very well. I always go for the half-chicken on the value menu ($13) because you can't get a meal better than it! It is SO HEALTHY! You are given a side salad which is fresh and you are also given another side of your choice. In addition to all of that (the chicken, the sauces, the salad, and the side), you are also given pita bread with it! This place is simply the best! I absolutely love the sweet potato fries too! THE SWEET POTATO FRIES ARE SO GOOD!!! You need to try them. They are delicious, crispy, and bursting with flavor. The combination of the half-chicken with the sweet potato fries is literally unbeatable. The price is also amazing. VERY AFFORDABLE. I absolutely love coming here. I also want to say that the manager of the shop is a great guy and everyone that works with him is also very helpful and respectful. I feel at home when I'm eating at this place! I will definitely be coming back! Thank you Chicken Shack!
Speedy service. Friendly counter person. I ordered a variety of meals on the menu. I was not pleased. My chicken tenders were a nice size, but where over cooked and hard. My side salad was fresh and the Italian dressing was delicious. They gave me a nice amount of sweet plantains. The sweet potato fries were undercooked. I also ordered arroz con pollo which was a little salty. The side of veggies were decent.
I went during lunch time since I was in the area the other and I got a italian style chicken sandwhich, the chicken was a bit dry and the peices in the sandwhich were a bit thin and smaller than I would have liked, plus the tsaziki sauce they had was way too thick due to veggies in it that were long strands, the sandwhich all in all was just ok, and for 17$ roughly for just a sandwhich and drink I was expecting more.
These guys don't know what buffalo wings are.. instead of being fried and then doused in a hot wing sauce, they're just fried and the crust has a dry spice blend. I thought they just mixed up my order.. Nope! They just don't know the difference. To be honest, it was good fried chicken, but don't put buffalo wings on the menu if you don't know what buffalo wings are. 3 stars because they actually gave a refund through GrubHub.
Chicken was good but macaroni n cheese was sour and spoiled as if it was sitting somewhere for days. We ordered $40 of food and most went in the garbage …
I used to order from here often when they opened. Now the have the worst service. The ladies who answer the phone throw you on hold and then the phone goes to voicemail and they never come back. I'M DONE ORDERING FROM THIS PLACE! HORRIBLE SERVICE!
Don't order online from this place.. Because my first order from them was great but, the 2nd one, I don't order never again! They served the bowl of salad with only 1 spoon of rice and some chicken on the top.. If I knew that they would do this I wasn't going to spend my money.. It's too late to solve the problem.. It's very disrespectful with who trusted your business..
I ordered the chicken fingers meal. I did not receive the pita bread or salad but was charged for a meal. I asked for honey mustard sauce but received what looked like applesauce. The rice and beans were okay because it is not your typical rice I believe it is basmati rice but it taste like they put a pound of butter in it. I have ordered here before but I surely will not be going back.
