Yum yum yum! I tried the spicy chicken sandwich (medium heat) and it was so tasty and flavorful- just the right amount of kick, savory, crunchy, and saltiness added by the pickle and chicken seasoning. I would definitely return and get another sandwich. The Harlem location is clean and staff is friendly and attentive. It was my first time at Dave's Chicken and the gentleman behind the register didn't seem annoyed when explaining the different sauces available and the different type of heat you can add to your chicken. I went on a Thursday afternoon and the place was practically empty with only two other customers sitting and enjoying their meals. I would argue that this chicken sandwich is better than Cane's chicken sandwich which is very similar but doesn't quite have a leg up on Dave's chicken. It just has the right amount of heat and fried perfectly.

I stopped by one early afternoon and it was empty which meant no long wait time which I like because I was on a time crunch. I loooooved the spicy chicken sandwichThe chicken is huge and you can adjust the spice flavor I got medium. The slaw on the Sandwich is a perfect balance to the spicy chicken. I also tried the cauliflower bites and those were also very good. The fries I liked but I wish they were crispier and the Mac and cheese was good but the star of the show was the chicken sandwich.

Great view outside.

Amazing manager great staff he is very nice and he is also very respectful and kind I give him a thumbs up for that. The food is great and I love it so much I would come here again and again. The ambience is clean and great to do when you visit New York City 125.

Cool and urban vibes.

Ordered some chicken tenders to check out the taste of this new business. A Friday night for no fuss and fast food in Harlem is a good suggestion for this place. They are friendly at the counter and explain spice levels, if you're scared of spicy flavors and they have cool R&B/soul music while you wait for your order.

The interior of the restaurant.

Okay so this spot has only been open for about 2 months at this point and they've done an excellent job. The decor is an edgy spray painted mural with a Harlem twist which keeps it in the ethos of old school. Harlem. Every time I've gone in or passed it, it is impeccably clean. The countertops are stainless steel adding to that very sleek feeling when you enter. The menu is very simple. You can either get fingers or sliders. There are a number of heat levels from no spice to extremely hot. Full disclosure, I have a sensitivity to chicken so I got mild. Needless to say, I enjoyed it. Because of return the next week. Now they start off with two chicken fingers, but before you think that they're skimping on you, those fingers are actually a little under a whole breast size. Joe, I actually didn't finish more than a single finger while I was in the restaurant. Now let's talk about the staff. They are extremely well mannered and give you service with a smile. Dare I say they are refreshing in a city where we're fast food service folks are understandably the stressed out and over it. They welcome you with a smile and generously offer condiments at no extra charge. Not over fried. This tends to irritate my stomach so I appreciate it not having that happen. I didn't want to be too conspicuous so I didn't take a picture of the menu, but the least expensive item is a little over $11 excluding the drinks and fries which are less

The bread displays at Milano have always drawn my attention. On one afternoon, my husband and I…read morefinally decided to try something from this market, namely, an item from the deli that we could pack for our Central Park picnic. There was a line, of course, there always is, and the wait was longer than what we were willing to endure for fare as simple and as common as a sandwich. It was worth the 20-minute wait. We ordered the Milano special, packed with cold meats, tomatoes, pickled peppers, cheese, and lettuce between two soft sesame rolls. It looked magnificent. It tasted magnificent. It was a sandwich to rule all sandwiches. I'd brave the line for that any day.

wow wow wow. We went today on mother's day around noon and only waited 30 min. We got two…read moresandwiches and a few cookies, OH and tried the cheesy pasta shells (the sauce and melted cheese was everything) Also, the feel of the market is cozy and special. The staff is super nice and eager to help. It feels like a special neighborhood gem and you can really feel the family owned vibe. 1. Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix. We were deciding on this one and the proscuitto tomato but we are glad we got this one! 2. Chicken caesar salad wrap- I think I could easily say this is the best caesar salad wrap i've had. The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!
