Dave's Hot Chicken is a social media sensation chicken spot featuring tenders, fries, pickles and…read moreshakes. Prices are high for fast food but portions are huge and quality is worth it! After PDQ in Farmingdale closed, we were looking for another place with extraordinary chicken tenders on Long Island. My son saw Dave's Hot Chicken on social media. I love the story of how it started out of a garage in Hollywood and has now expanded across the U.S. I love a good entrepreneur success story. On this rainy December day after Christmas we were heading to Roosevelt Field Mall and decided to detour to Dave's. The parking lot was crazy and the place was pretty crowded but we managed to find a table quickly. The staff was nice and friendly. The decor was interesting .. hip without trying too hard. The big "Strong Island" sign emphasized local ties even though the chain started in LA. We first balked at the prices. But then we saw the serving sizes!! First, the chicken "tenders" are the size of chicken cutlets. The meals look expensive ($12 for 1 tender, pickles and fries) but a single tender is a full meal for most people! It's served on a slice of white bread, which is probably the only aspect of the entire meal that's not impressive! We ordered the large loaded fries ($17), a tender meal ($12) and 2 single tenders ($5+ each.) Again, keep in mind the tenders are huge. I'd rather have a single tender than two McDonald's snack wraps. So now, what you're probably wondering: How did it taste? Amazing!!! We got mild and no spice. The mild was just spicy enough but even the plain tenders were excellent -- crispy and clearly made with high quality, juicy chicken. The fries came fully loaded with Kale slaw, cheese, pickles, sauce, and 10 chicken bites plus Dave's sauce. The fries stayed crispy and delicious. I'm not a big fry person but these were fantastic. If you're in the area, definitely splurge on this fast food experience. I just hope they open a few closer to western Suffolk.

TLDR: It's that same Pio Pio you know and love. Personally, this might be my favorite location. If…read moreyou've never been, Matador Combo. I've been going to Pio Pio for almost 20 years. As expected, they've finally expanded to Long Island in Glen Cove. Looks like the one in Jackson Heights but taller ceilings and less noisy. This might be the first time it was not someone's birthday (IYKYK) during service. It was just the wife + I so we stuck with the Matador Combo. If you've never had it, you get their famous chicken, an avocado salad, salchipapas (fries + hot dogs), plantains (sweet or savory) and rice/beans. We got a glass of sangria which is always classic and I tried the Marucaya (passionfruit) Sour and both were very tasty. I felt like the food comes out here FAST and the chicken was HOT. Possibly the best experience I've had at Pio Pio since the very first time I tried it in Jackson Heights. When they were in the tiny space that Amaru is in before they moved across the street. We'll probably go to this one from now on. Everything from the space, service, drinks and food were perfect. It's not that often when I leave a restaurant and everyone box was checked but tonight it was. I'd like to come back with more people so I can try some of the other items on the menu.

Honestly the wait time was longer than we expected for two items (and with us being the only customers seated), but the food came out fresh, piping hot, and delicious! This is more of a personal preference, but I wish their sandwich came with a single breaded piece of chicken rather than multiple tenders because my sandwich was falling apart while eating. Would consider stopping by again when I'm next in Glen Cove just for the waffle fries!

My husband loved his spicy chicken sandwich and still talks about it. The spice level, quality of the chicken, and inclusion of avocado were great for him. My son and I got the chicken tenders which I thought were very good quality and flavored well for fast food chicken. The fries were not good, really boring and not flavored at all. The macaroni and cheese flavoring was also just not good and I wouldn't get it again. The cheese tasted artificial. Service was a little slow at the drive-thru but maybe that shows the food is a little fresher than other takeout options. Overall good fast food chicken option if you're in the mood for fried chicken!

This team clearly shows what working together is all about along with this respect for the clients who come in. I had been coming to PDQ for a while until they changed this shop to Chick & Tender. The food, service and atmosphrre remained very similar except for their food additions. They added fries and chicken wings as well as some sandwiches. This store is centrally located right on Old Country Road in front of Walmart. There is plenty of parking in this very large lot with a very easy in and out. The store is very big with plenty of eating space both inside and out. They have a very large drive through service and will always see a team of people outside trying to help the line move a little quicker. It's an easy ordering system. I go to the counter, tell the team members what I am looking for, sit and wait just a few minutes. They work very quickly here. I have had the very delicious tenders and on this visit, wings. My wife had a delicious sandwich. Tenders are crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside and wings (while I like hem dry, were crispy and tasty. They have a great selection of sauces to help the experience. All around good work is being done here. KUDOs to the team at Chick & Tender.

My niece ordered the chocolate cake, and it was absolutely perfect. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had for a special occasion. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or any important moment, this restaurant makes the experience feel memorable and special.

I highly recommend the all-you-can-eat rodizio and the branzino, but honestly everything there is delicious. And don't even get me started on the desserts--Heavenly Whites... OMG!! Simply incredible.

Dinner with friends while in the area...complimentary popcorn while we waited for our food. We had the crab salad to start - yum as always. Japchae was also good. Had the chicken combo with soy garlic sauce... it was ok. The batter was way too thick so needed so it was a bit disappointing but hopefully the formula has been adjusted since. Surprised it came with such a small amount of pickled radish. Had to ask for another. perhaps not a lot of people like picked radish...but we do. Restrooms in the back are gender neutral. Will come back to try again along with other interesting items on the menu since it is a convenient place while in the area...with a lot of shopping.

The dining room is small, maybe 8 tables total. We each ordered a half order of the crispy thighs- his all spicy, and I got half plain and half honey butter with a side of truffle mayo and vegetable kimchi fried rice to share. Even without the rice it was a decent amount of food. The food came out really fast (though menu said the chicken could take up to 25 mins). The chicken was juicy and so crispy, and all of the many accompaniments were really good especially the slaw. Best fried chicken I've had in a long time!

Having it on the side actually made the meal better because you can adjust how much flavor you want each time you bite into a piece. It is also nice to have a Pelicana in Plainview since Korean fried chicken spots are getting more popular and this location adds a great option to the area. Food wise I cannot complain. Everything was cooked well and it pairs nicely with the beer they serve. The only drawback was the service situation with our order. Our server told us that three pieces of chicken were dropped in the kitchen so they would bring out the full order except those three pieces and make the missing ones afterward. After we finished eating they completely forgot about the three pieces but when we reminded them they brought them out and honored it which made the overall service decent in the end. Good food and a solid experience and I would come back again.

Dave's Hot Chicken in Fresh Meadows not only lives up to the hype but exceeds it with remarkable…read moreconsistency and bold, well crafted flavor. The Fresh Meadows location is right by Kohl's with ample parking. The standout hospitality began the moment I walked in. An employee directed me to the counter and helped me place my order, explaining the menu items. Another friendly employee ( I think his name was Alex) noticed my large order and personally helped carry four trays of food to the table, setting the tone for a genuinely great visit. From the first bite, it's clear this is far from ordinary fast-casual fare--the chicken is juicy beneath a perfectly crisp, non-greasy coating, and the spice levels are seriously dialed in, whether you opt for a manageable Mild or decide to take on a real heat challenge. I love that the chicken rests on the white bread which absorbs all the delicious juices. The menu is thoughtfully simple, focusing on sliders, tenders, and satisfying sides, all served fresh and hot. All delicious. The kale coleslaw is a triumph. So are the pickles. I despise pickles, yet ill eat all the pickles at Dave's. They're so good! And don't even think about skipping the Oreo milkshake, thick, refreshing, and loaded with real cookie chunks, it's the ideal finale, especially if you've embraced the spice. For anyone in Queens craving authentic, high quality Nashville style fried chicken, this spot is absolutely worth a special trip. Highly recommended, and to top it all, IT'S HALAL!!! WHAT?!?! AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER. PS. In an environment where bigotry is running rampant, this Muslim woman thanks you for making her feel a little more included.

I'm glad there is now in a location in Queens with a huge parking lot. The prices are not very cheap but they do give good quality chicken.

The chicken is very moist and flavorful and the fries are seasoned nicely. I will be returning.
