    Mango habanero wings - super spicy, fries and tenders
    Kien T.

    Great place for the wings and with happy hour that last until 6, what a bargain for drinks. Lychee soju was a bit sweet however the mango margarita was quite tasty. Service was quick and decor is perfect to just hang out

    half-and-half, soy garlic and spicy soy garlic
    May W.

    The place is airy and casual. Happy hours during weekdays. 10 giant TVs hanging through the ceiling. Good for large parties. I ordered a medium combo, which comes with five drums, ten wings, and a side of large radish. I chose half-and-half, soy garlic, and spicy soy garlic.

    I haven't been here in a while but it seems they're rating has gone to a B ): They did add a brunch menu which looked interesting but seems like people aren't gravitating towards this restaurant anymore-it was pretty empty on a Saturday. Also now that the grocery store shares the parking lot, it is an AWFUL parking experience. Would rather pay the parking on the street.

    Hit up Mad for Chicken Bayside for the first time and picked up 20 drums (soy garlic, spicy soy garlic) + (4) radish to bring to a potluck event. Order was ready per scheduled pick up time, and everything was neatly packed in durable yet attractive bags & boxes. Parking (free) was a breeze, thanks to the convenient rear lot shared with Walfood (Chinese market), etc. The parking attendant gives you a card which you get stamped/validated. Payment was also convenient since this particular location, as well as Forest Hills and Astoria, are part of the InKind network; whereas the Flushing (157th & Northern) location is not. The food was a huge hit. I'll def be coming back to this particular location, perhaps happy hour next time, mainly due to quality and convenience.

    I have been here soooo many times whether eating in or taking out so let me help you get that 5 star experience. Quality: 9/10 I can only speak for the Korean dishes and not the seafood boil, but everything is flavored deliciously and cooked well. Variety: 10/10 there's an overwhelming amount of choices on their menu and you have the seafood boil options. There's also a large beer and cocktail selection. Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 8/10 you feel like you're walking into a wooden lodge upstate about to have an indoor picnic by the fireplace until you see all the flatscreen TVs everywhere. Keep in mind it gets a little loud on game days (no UFC fights tho). Multi-stalled women's bathroom. Service: 8/10 they give free ramen packet flavored popcorn for the table and frequently came by to ask if we needed anything and the food came out really quick. On busier nights tho it might be hard to catch the waiter's attention. Price: $30/person including tax and tip for theses 5 dishes and sodas Tips: Always order their SIGNATURE wings (only soy garlic or spicy soy garlic), yes their traditional wings offer more sauce choices, but the wings are breaded/fried a little differently MUST ORDER: Kimchi fries and Kielbasa bites Soda refills are $1

    Avocado chicken sandwich
    Napoleon M.

    Here it is, 10/06/25. I am mad for chicken in Bayside. Why? If you have ever eaten at this restaurant, you will understand why. I walked in and there is a landscape of picnic tables and booths. one section of high top near the full bar and the lighting is dim. we were escorted to a booth. Scanning the dining area, they have several monitors or televisions displaying sports. I did not go to the bar but judging from a distance it appears to be a full bar. My plus one and I ordered 20 wings split evenly with flats and drums. The concept of double fried chicken made me think it may be too hard, but it works. The wings were absolutely D'licious. We ask for the GOLD sauce which was sweet. OMG! I am making a declaration and that is. if you want buffalo style wings, Mad for Chicken is the only place to go. We also ordered sweet potato fries and that dish came with ketchup and spicy honey sauce. I also ordered the avocado chicken sandwich. It came without any sauce. It was bland so I dipped the sandwich into the honey sauce, and it paired perfectly. If they start to serve the honey sauce with the avocado chicken, I will look for royalties. The things that I was unpleased with are: 1. The seat was very worn. My mother called me nice nasty because I find sitting on unclean or torn seats very uncomfortable. So, I sat on the very end. 2. I think that blowing your nose in public is very distasteful and inconsiderate. Needless to say, I took the remainder of my food home. Totally turned off behind that. 4. I think the waitress abandoned us, we were waiting for a very long time for the check to arrive and the take-out boxes. Someone else brought the check to us along with the requested take-out boxes. Besides the needed improvements and the distasteful customer, I enjoyed the dining area, the vibes that were echoing R&B flavors the interesting decor, the popcorn served at the beginning, and the casual ambiance. I will come a third time and more.

    Never been to this location, and I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's on Bell and there are sooooooo many options here. But here we are, late at night, closing out the bar and kitchen and I'm glad we did. It was quiet on a Tuesday night, and most of the place was ma vacant. We grabbed a booth in the back. Even though we were those last call customers, the staff were patient and apologetic when they told us they ran out of bulgogi. Understandable, again, as it was the end of the day. We ordered a few things to split including a chicken bowl, chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. The soy garlic was spot on and the sweet and spicy sauce had a great balance here. Shout out to them for having Shirley temples on the menu and for packing one to go for me. Maybe it's time to frequent this location more!

    I came here the other night with two friends and were promptly brought to a nice big booth. I've ordered from multiple Mad for Chicken locations in the past, including this one, however this was my first time eating inside the restaurant. I have to say, I really am a fan of the ambiance, the space and especially the service. Our waiter was enthusiastic, attentive and quite chill. I love that they give you a pitcher of water as I def tend to get thirsty when eating wings and other salty/spicy foods. I also loved the complimentary bowl of popcorn too (which they kindly refilled for us). We shared the chicken bowl with white rice, an order of chicken tenders and an order of sweet potato fries. At first I thought we might need more food for the table, but once everything came out, I was quite pleased with the portion size. Everything hit the spot. Great flavors, tasty dipping sauces, and a nice crunch to the chicken. I can so see myself coming here to watch the next big game on tv or perhaps even a UFC fight. 5/5 place in my book!

    I went there because my friend said there are vegetarian options. I tried the vegetarian chicken bowl with quinoa and the taste was phenomenal! I would go back again for that bowl! Good service. Relaxed vibe.

    Came to Mad for Chicken twice during their happy hour (3-6 PM). The service was friendly and welcoming both times. It's also one of InKind's partner restaurants, so we get 35% back, which is a nice bonus. I really like the atmosphere here. The restaurant is spacious, comfortable, and great for groups. We ordered the seafood boil with crab legs and shrimp, which came with potatoes in a garlic butter sauce with mild spice. It was very flavorful and delicious. We also ordered two servings of wings from the happy hour menu. At $6 for 2 wings, the price is reasonable, and the soy garlic flavor was tasty. The cocktail prices during happy hour are also a good deal. I tried the mango margarita, but it tasted more like a mocktail and I could barely taste any alcohol. My only disappointment was that the wings arrived at the same time as the seafood boil and were only lukewarm instead of hot. The food still tasted good, but it would have been much better if it had been served fresh and hot. Overall, a fun spot with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and good happy hour deals. Oh, and I can't believe I almost forgot to mention the free, delicious popcorn with a kick of spice!

    5 wings and truffle fries combo
    Betty C.

    Stopped in for lunch with two friends. First of all, parking lot in back is great! Second, friendly servers. Free seasoned popcorn - garlic powder, curry and salt. We all ordered special combos. I got the 5 wings with truffle fries. They tasted really good and I finished it all. I don't usually eat it all but somehow, today I did!

    Medium Wings & Drumsticks Combo
    Sherry S.

    Mad for Chicken doesn't disappoint. The service is always nice and the food is delicious. I've been here several times and I always get their chicken. I love the tenders and the wings. I like their selection of sauces. I had chicken tenders and the sauces I had were hickory BBQ and Buffalo. I enjoyed my entree and the Parmesan truffle fries. The restaurant wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. I'll definitely be back soon.

    Bulgogi eggs Benedict
    Angela L.

    I'm always worried about going to Mad for Chicken because it takes a while to make the wings. But we got there when they first opened. They got us seated right away and gave us menus along with water. It's a very large space with lots of large screen TV's. I got the bulgogi eggs Benedict from their brunch menu and my daughter and husband split the wings and drumstick combo. The curry flavored popcorn was pretty good and helped to stave off the hunger. We finished off two bowls. My food came out first and it was ok. The bulgogi was the best part. One egg was cooked well while the other was over cooked. The biscuit that the eggs and meat were sitting on was hard and tasteless. The salad wasn't bad. But overall I was disappointed with my meal. The wings and drumsticks however were great: hot, crunchy, and full of flavor. The fries were fine. So maybe stick with the wings and drumsticks. They were the best part and the wait was not that bad this time. One other minor complaint. At the end of the meal our waiter disappeared and we had to flag down someone else to get our check.

    Chicken is ok, just like another Korean fried chicken. Nothing special about it. I would go back and give it another try.

    Ask the Community - Mad for Chicken Bayside

    I saw an AYCE menu poster on the window. What is included in the all you can eat menu? How much is the all you can eat menu?…

    Anyone been to both Flushing and Bayside location recently? Which place makes better chicken? I've been to Flushing and it was good. Bayside is new so I don't know if the cook is good. Are the chicken breast 100% chicken breast? Or mashed nuggets?

    The same exact quality in my opinion.

Pickles were spears in a breading that was crisp and tasty - these are so good and sho I love be added to the permanent menu. Tbh whenever I see fried pickles, I always order them. I also ordered the Classic Throwback: #6 ( description copied straight from their website) - Grilled chicken, grilled asparagus, shaved parmesan cheese, fresh lemon, extra virgin olive oil and roasted garlic mayo served on ciabatta bread $17.67 - the perfect sandwich , so full of flavor, chicken grilled to perfection. I could only eat half while at the resto. Hours later I ate the other half and I and it cold and it was still perfectly delicious. I even tasted more of the flavors this time around. The bread used for the sandwich , just so good. This has become a new favorite and I will definitely be revisiting! Also, please add this sandwich to your everyday menu. Thank you in advance. As a side, everyone was super nice and welcoming and attentive to our needs TY!!!!

    It's been six years since I last came here. The food is still pretty good and the service was…read morefriendly, but overall I found the sandwiches a bit overpriced. The menu has very detailed, almost elevated descriptions that make everything sound spectacular, but in practice the flavors don't quite come through, especially the sauces, which are barely noticeable. Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.

It's a lovely place very vibrant great service and delicious food everyone loved what they ordered!! I suggest reservations there's a lot going on they have an area with live music a very lively bar scene perfect for Friday night or date night ! We were seated in a large room filled with friendly people and servers our waiter Mike was wonderful ( table 206) on a busy Friday at 8:30pm! I had a expresso martini with Bailey 's and my son had the red sangria and a Shirley Temple for the the teen granddaughter all drinks were great ! Appetizers were crispy calamari ( so crispy) Wagyu meatballs,General Harry's cauliflower (honey glazed ) it was good and I'm not a fan of cauliflower ! I had the braised short rib with mashed potatoes sooo tender and creamy whipped fresh potatoes , granddaughter had the Double Berkshire pork chop ( big and juicy tender chop) with mashed sweet potato's my son had Le Poulet cajun chicken with hand cut large fries delicious !! Apple crumble Dessert & vanilla ice cream had to be taken home along with 4 other bags ! They have a lobster fest now & also sushi so we will be going there often it's in Floral Park Queens very convenient and a parking lot too across from the side of the building NOT the lot across from the restaurant entrance ! Save up for this one u won't be disappointed I was there Friday night ! It's Sunday and I'm ready to go back !

    I finally visited a sister restaurant of Luigi's located across the street from the Floral Park…read moreTrain Station. The ambiance appears to be bigger than Luigi's and it's always busy/packed. Reservations are highly recommended. A lot of my mom friends rave about this place and I got to dine here twice with them, once for brunch and the other for dinner. The first time I came here was with my child for brunch. I got a mocktail and we ordered chicken and waffles along the unadvertised kids menu containing chicken fingers and fries. Portions for both dishes were generous and took home the leftovers. We also shared the Brussels sprouts and the infamois complimentary bread, which were really good. The second and most recent time we went was for dinner with the a huge group of moms. We shared the Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts, and general two's cauliflower, which was amazing. I had the red sangria and a taste of the Huckleberry lemonade, drinks were strong. For the entrees I ordered the salmon and once again portion was huge, took it home and the hubby ate the leftovers. Other moms ordered the frose, spicy paloma, le poulet and spicy Rigatoni. At the end we had key lime pie which tasted great but I was too full to finish it. I'll be coming to this spot more often because of great company and food!
