Value: 10/10 Experience: 8/10 Taste: 8/10 Perfect spot if you are craving fried chicken at an unbeatable price. Value: I was at the end of my food crawl so I didn't want an entire meal. I got 2 thighs and a drumstick for $3. That is absolutely mind blowing how much food you get for $3. They also had value meals with fries and a drink for under $10. Experience: The chicken is already made so they'll just grab it and bag it. You can get in and out in under a minute. The menu is easy to read but the interior has no tables/counter to eat on. There are chairs though. Taste: I was afraid that the chicken sitting around and the low price would mean the chicken tasted dry but that was not the case at all. The chicken was juicy and seasoned well. They also offer you hot sauce if you want an extra kick.

Chicken trade over Bullet-proof glass!

The name KFC might make you smile but thiis is Kennedy for K, a true chicken spot in the "brother-hood." You order chickens over bullet-proof glass haha but I like it. Shows where you are. Fresh food and the guy-in-charge, seemingly the owner asks you how it is. He'd know who likes mayo or not, even remembered me and I been there only once. This is something you'd never experience at other KFC, if you know what I mean. Thanks Bro! :)

Right out of the park you can find yourself a tasty meal. No it isn't going to be healthy, stop your nonsense. Kennedy Fried, a new york staple, is a bunch of un-connected, but similar in style chicken joints. Anyway down to the meat and ... french fries. I ordered a combo hot wings and french fries. Hot wings had a great crispy texture, seasoned well, and had a really excellent juicy chicken. The fries were, well, just fries. Simple. Crunchy. Nothing to write home about tho.

This review is honestly less about McDonald's itself and more about what I got, because listen…read more.. the Grinch Meal?! So cute. McDonald's partnered with The Grinch this holiday season, and I had to try it. I was genuinely excited. You get the option of nuggets or a Big Mac, fries, and the fun part--your fries come with this dill pickle shaker. And let me tell you, that shaker was EVERYTHING. It gave the fries this really good, almost parmesan-style flavor, and I loved it way more than I expected. The nuggets were crispy and good, no complaints there. The box itself was festive and fun, and the Happy Meal "toy" was Grinch socks, which honestly felt like a little adult Happy Meal moment--and I was here for it. The socks were a cute bonus, but overall the meal itself was just fun and festive. It felt like a holiday moment. Now, about this McDonald's location in general--I come here all the time with my son after school (what kid doesn't love McDonald's?). The atmosphere is pretty chill. The music is always bumping--lots of reggaeton since you're right near Spanish Harlem--which honestly adds to the vibe. That said, it could be cleaner, and there isn't a lot of seating. Tables fill up fast, so you're either sharing space or waiting for someone to leave. Usually, it works out because it's very much a neighborhood spot--you see families, friends, middle school kids, all of that. Service is hit or miss. Sometimes it's a little slow, sometimes it's on point. But if you're a regular and they recognize you, things definitely move faster. Overall, the Grinch Meal was a win--cute, fun, and tasty. It gave me exactly what I wanted: a little holiday joy, good fries, crispy nuggets, and some Grinch socks to take home.

Holy Burger - BEST HOLY DOG - NYC'S TOP HALAL HOT DOG!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…read more Oh wait. You mean, you weren't joking? Okay. Let's recap. I got a sponsored ad for Holy Burger. One of our burger go-to's recently closed, and I was willing to give it a shot. Though they seem to have a few outposts, I'm always one to support a mom-and-pop as opposed to larger names. This was my first time ordering. It will be my only time. This review is based on delivery. For over $60 (before tip), I was expecting something... else I guess. Mediocre burger? Check Slightly better than okay fries? Check Small Chopped chicken with cheese? Check Combo with like five or six fries? Check A shot glass of "cola" that comes with the combo? Check. Nothing memorable, and I'm still hungry. Also I ordered a double smash burger, not only have I had better, their "onion smash" had like one sliver of onions on it. Guess I was expecting an Oklahoma style onion burger, so massively disappointing. Save your money and go anywhere else. I seriously have no idea how this place has 4 stars and above all, is still in business. Nothing like pricing out the neighborhood and any decent places for the residents,

Walking home from my occasional Columbus Ave errands I saw Holy Cow and wondered what it was…read morebecause as far as I could tell, they were a newcomer on that block. Immediately did an online search as I rounded the corner onto CPW and yes, holy cow! Burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries! And the kicker is it's all Halal. We ordered all of those things. They did get one thing wrong: we ordered wings but they sent tenders (or boneless wings...which taste the same to me). We did order the wings a couple weeks later on our second try. They're very spicy. Burgers were fine, fries were fantastic (crispy, well seasoned). Fine choice when you're hankering for standard American grill foods and some delicious fries. Prices are good but delivery and other fees are outrageous. Our recent order of two burgers, wings, one small fries came to $69 after taxes, fees, and tip.

Ambiance wise is your typical red-and-white checkered background. Several metal tables and stools are seen inside the limited space. Staff greets customers once you walk in through the door. A simple and straightforward menu with burgers + fries + soda/water. Everyone orders at the front counter. Either cash or credit card is getting accepted as payment. Friendly staff and very quick service except sometimes behind schedule on the weekends. When all the seats get taken, then I will take my food to go and eat at a nearby park or open space. Burger is usually on the oilier side and fries are tad bit salty too. Mexican Coke/Sprite tastes good down the throat on a hot summer day like today.

This restaurant has a RACIST employee who treated customers differently based on their race. I…read moreexperienced clear racial discrimination today at another location. The Black male employee at the checkout counter did NOT greet me (Asian) at all. But he said "welcome welcome" to Spanish/Hispanic guest and "hello" to White and other non-Asian guests. When I called him out, he responded "I am a racist?" without denying the behavior. This is systematic racial discrimination targeting Asian customers across multiple 7th Street Burger locations. Asian customers receive NO greeting, while White, Spanish/Hispanic, and other non-Asian customers receive warm greetings. This made me feel deeply disrespect. All customers should receive equal service regardless of their race. I expect the management to investigate these employees and provide anti-discrimination training to staff. I will not be returning until this is addressed. Others should be aware of this discriminatory treatment.
