Ohh man, this is a hidden gem. It's family run and they are so sweet. The food is fresh and plentiful. Prices are a wee high, but the food is good. read more

Since being taken over by new owners, the food is not the same! The chicken does not taste good and is cooked weirdly!

For "faster" food, this place is terrific!!! Amazing corn bread!!! Big chicken sandwich, very tasty onion rings, good cole slaw and fries were crispy. And that was after a 15 minute drive home, everything was still hot and crispy. The owner is a conscientious person who is a neighbor to the area. He cares about what product he puts out there. All food is made fresh to order. read more

The service and people here are kind, fantastic and passionate about their food. Great find!

Haven't been here in years. Did not realize under new ownership. Very pleasant gentleman took my order. Little slow in coming out with food, but I walked next door to the Italian deli and did some shopping. Chicken is still tasty but I did notice a few pieces were on the scrawny side. Cole slaw is still scrumptious. read more

Let's start with the good. The service was on point quick and ready to go. The ambiance reminds me of a take out Chinese restaurant so it's not a romantic date night thing. More of a take out or a quick eat in meal. The food was okay to say in many words. The shrimp was decent but it seems like the use the same oil to fry the chicken with. The chicken wasn't the best it tasted alright but I had better much better. The spicy one was better but spicy so if you don't like spicy food don't get it. Do I recommend? I only will say try it for yourself ibut for me I feel it's a KFC and I do not like KFC. Plus 2 thugs for $30 definitely wasn't worth it! read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED, the new owner ruined the food, sizes and flavor. I been going here for the past 4 years and today the food was very sad to even look at. oily food no taste and charging the same price for smaller portions. The owner did not care when i mention the differences on the size but charging the same price. Truly a big disappointment. going to miss the original owner and his wife they where the best. read more

Buttermilk's Chicken - Salad Near Me - East Islip, New York

This place is very cute with a Grandma's country kitchen feel. We've been taking out from here for a few years. It's our "healthier" alternative to fried chicken without doing fast food. We always get the Peck which is 8 pieces of fried chicken, 2 sides and corn bread. The fried chicken is very good without being over greasy. The mashed potatoes are so buttery and yum too. The gravy on the side is alright. I love cornbread and theirs is pretty good. Next time going to try the spicy chicken. read more

We stopped in to check them out - cute little place, nicely decorated, that seems to be family run. We are always looking for a good fried chicken place and we dock our boat nearby so we were hoping it would be our new place - it will be! Before committing to ordering for the family, we tried one order of half chicken to share in store just to see if we liked it. Order came with corn bread and a choice of side, we picked the mashed potatoes. We devoured the chicken, so excuse me for not getting a photo - it was THAT good, it was crispy with a light coating, hot, not too salty, juicy - ticked all the great fried chicken boxes. I was not planning to eat potatoes (still bathing suit weather lol) but they were so good I ended up eating all of them. The gravy could use a little umph it seemed too watery, but still very tasty and the corn bread, though small, was delish, I believe it had honey on it and was just the right amount of sweetness. If you follow me, you know I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe - so I need to eat in clean places (unlike my husband who will eat any place - including some sketchy street vendors in third world countries lol)! Thank goodness this place was spotless, aside from the fact that the garbage was full at 5pm on a Friday and we had to shove our garbage in. After our taste test, we ordered another half chicken and tendies to go. Everyone loved the chicken, we will be back! Guys, it was early on a Friday so I hope they are busy later in the evening or have many delivery orders. The place was empty, we were the only customers.. we need to keep these small, family run businesses going.. please check them out if you are in the area let me know what you think of them. read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews but the chicken on my sandwich was about half the thickness of my iPhone and mostly unchewable. Unfortunate. read more

I switched jobs and of course used the handy Yelp to see what's in the area. Yelp brought me here. I decided on the classic crispy chicken sandwich with waffle fries. It was very good! Both the fries and chicken were crisp to perfection. On the sandwich was pickles and sassy sauce. It paired the chicken very well. I also got garlic parm sauce on the side. It wasn't very good. It was too thin in my opinion. Sauces are an extra $0.75. I feel your first sauce should be free and then any additional ones should be charged for. Everything is made to order and nothing is sitting under heat lamps. When I placed my order I was told it would be ready in 15 mins. I was happy to hear that things are made to order..meaning that it's fresh. Both workers behind the counter were nice. Good to know there's good food nearby for lunch. read more

We use to get chicken all the time from here ordered dinner for what we freaking paid for there was barley and meat on it and they messed the order up. We use to feed the family of 5 with the 8 piece bucket meal now we barely were full, Very disappointed this use to be the go to chicken spot! Most likely won't be back read more

Great chicken sandwiches. Perfect French fries. Staffs friendly. Clean. Will be back. read more

Newsday posted rave reviews over Buttermilk's Chicken and I've been curious to see what the hubbub is all about. The first thing irking me is the name, Buttermilk's. If the owners name is Mike Buttermilk, the name would be fitting. Is this a Nordic establishment? I am Inga from Sweden and this is my place, Buttermilk's Chicken. I'm heading back to home and decided to make a southern detour to Buttermilk's Chicken. Located in a strip mall, this is a small establishment for take out orders and there are a few tables for indoor dining. Except this is 2020 (now 2021!) and there is no dining, no touching, no sitting or standing inside. Place your order and wait outside. Once my order is ready, I set up my dining room table on the hood of my Jeep. The chicken is not greasy or overly fried. There is no over battering on my crispy classic sandwich. There is a nice sauce topping the chicken. My issue? The bun is huge! The single chicken piece was small and when it's placed on the bread its now chicken flavored bread. I removed the bottom of the bread and split the top to have less bread. And yes, with my fingers. On the hood of my Jeep. Oh, the onion rings! This is the part where you want deep fried goodness. The onion rings are fantastic, Made fresh and battered just right. If I had this place by me, I'd have more chicken topped salads. I would have liked to try the wings. Nice place, a little out of the way for me. read more

Buttermilk's Chicken - Chicken Sammy - Salad Near Me - East Islip, New York

Don't come here. All food is frozen except the salad, and the fried chicken that's fresh is either overcooked or old. Overpriced ! NEW owner did not give their staff tips until it was brought up. read more

I often go to buttermilk's chicken for their chicken tenders and mac and cheese. Today I was introducing it to someone who never had it and I recieved frozen chicken tenders. The worker on the phone tried to tell me they uses a different breading machine today, but both the shape and seasoning looked completely different. I'm unsure why they chose to take full price for subpar food, but it has made me question their freshness and quality of food. read more

Food is great! Sauces are memorable, grilled chicken perfectly cooked. Chicken tenders got 2 thumbs up from the youngest critic in our fam and the pickles, we all agreed, we're delicious. Will be back to check out the chicken salad! Took off a star because the thermostat was set to 70 and was reading 82. Makes for a very uncomfortable experience, even at 70. I'd go back but like most it seemed, it will be take out. read more

Don't buy the chicken tenders , they're frozen. Pre-packaged box type of chicken. Service was good, felt bad for the lady at register that couldn't tell me over the phone, that the tenders weren't fresh, because of her boss hovering over her making sure she doesn't say the wrong thing.. I Wouldn't have bought but the lady at the register was nice . So here's this review . read more

We loved the buttermilk chicken but the new owners changed all the recipes. Nothing special anymore. My daughter loved the fancy sodas and they don't carry them. What a bummer! read more

Second time I've eaten there and the second time I've taken additional food home. Had the Country Club Sandwich this time. Chicken was tender and the entire sandwich was flavorful. I got the fried onion rings as a side. The best I've ever had. When I was done, the taken home order, 24 pieces of crispy and delicious, moist chicken was delivered table side. Service is friendly and prompt. Staff suggested reheating the chicken in an air fryer. Worked perfectly. Ambiance is plain and clean with sufficient seating. I traveled 20 minutes to get there. The foods worth it!! read more

Wow best chicken tenders ever. Super juicy and soft inside melts in your mouth. Crunchy outside

Excellent freshly made to order food. Everything I had so far, from chicken sandwiches, fried shrimp, chicken tenders, corn bread to Cole slaw has all been excellent. And all have been served with a smile by the owners. A better than fast food experience. I hope you give them a try. Small business owners need our support. read more

Love the chicken from this place. Great fried chicken and chicken sandwiches. Really a takeout place even though there are a few tables there. Nice people run the place. Reasonably priced for what you get. read more

Following my relaxing massage, I had a strong desire for something savory to satisfy my hunger. To my pleasant surprise, Buttermilk's Chicken exceeded my expectations. I was here around 3 ish and the inside was empty. The cashier was very friendly. Opting for a straightforward choice, I ordered their classic crispy chicken with pickles and fries. The chicken had an authentic taste without any exaggerated flavors, and its crunchiness was truly delightful. Moreover, the fries were exceptionally delicious, arguably the best I have had in quite some time. On my next visit I want to have their chicken tenders. read more

The restaurant advertises 6 shrimp in its shrimp dishes. Unfortunately, they do not give you 6 shrimp. They butterfly three shrimp so you get 6 pieces of shrimp. Definitely misleading. I don't think it is worth 14 dollars for 3 shrimp and fries. I personally only got 5 shrimp pieces (that would equal 2 and a half whole shrimp). Btw, the shrimp are definitely not prepared on site; the were surely frozen. read more

The food was delicious. The place was cozy and the staff were super nice. Definitely recommend it.

Overpriced Salty, greasy, rubbery chicken. You can get better fried chicken literally anywhere else. I'd give a zero if I could. I got a half chicken with a spoonful of mashed and corn bread. Soggy and rubbery. My wife got 2 pc white with mashed and cornbread. Soggy and rubbery And overcooked tenders for the little one. $40 for something that got thrown out. I don't ever leave Yelp reviews but this chicken was so bad I had to. Not sure why this place has multiple 4-5 star reviews. Must be family or friends leaving them. read more

Great, fresh chicken sandwiches! It's a simple but clean establishment. The owners are friendly and welcoming!

I am very very happy I decided to try this place out today. I called twice. Both people I spoke with were very kind and helpful. They have many great options. I was having such a tough time deciding. I ended up getting the deluxe chicken sandwich. Next time I am going to get it without the sauce on it and add it as I eat it so the chicken stays crispy! The sassy sauce is soooo good and a Must get ! The onion rings were extremely crispy and very good. Food was ready and was hot. Inside is clean and decorated very nicely. Can't wait to try the regular chicken and sides again soon. I highly recommend this business. read more

The best fried chicken. On the bone chicken and sandwiches are both excellent. Cornbread is moist and delicious. The coleslaw has a bit too much mayo but good nonetheless. read more

I went in to see what replaced the restaurant my son had in this spot. I was first taken by the cozy feeling the decor gave me. The owner was very cordial and pleasant. The menu was very limited, however, the meal was spectacular. It was probably the best chicken I've had in ages. I can't wait to go back! read more

The chicken was terrible and un-flavorful. I requested spicy and it seems like they just fried unseasoned chicken and added an extreme amount of cayenne pepper to make it spicy...almost to the point of it being inedible. The cornbread tasted like pound cake and was very small. They should learn to season their chicken properly and add spice to the batter or provide a spicy sauce on the side for some kick and NOT dousing cayenne pepper. read more
