    This is one of our go to spots when we want a quick smashburger. The burgers are solid every time and the fries are really good, that extra crispy outside kind that actually stays crunchy. The chicken platter is great too when we want something a little bigger to share. There's a decent amount of booth seating inside plus a few tables outside if you want some air. Drinks are just in the fridge so you can grab whatever you want. Food comes out on paper plates when you dine in which honestly fits the casual vibe perfectly. What we really like is that it feels local and not like some big chain. The place is always clean and the interior still looks new with nice simple decor. If you're in Rego Park and want a reliable, easy meal, this is a perfect spot. We'll definitely keep coming back. There's not always a ton of staff though so you might wait a bit longer than you would at somewhere like Shake Shack.

    This peri peri chain originating in the Washington DC area has arrived to Rego Park. Food here is halal. They have burgers, fried chicken and peri peri chicken (an Africa spicy rotisserie style chicken). The farmhouse burger (smash burger with a fried egg) and fries were delicious and satisfying. The peri peri chicken was also good. We ordered it mild but there was barely any heat at all. Could have gone with a higher heat level. The side of spiced rice was delicious and went well with the chicken.

    Original grilled chicken with hot sauce and fries

    I ordered the grilled chicken with fries and hot spicy level. Fries were made to order. Chicken was moist and sauce had a little ting to it but it wasnt really spicy. Would love to trt it again with a higher spice level.

    Came across this new spot as their bright sign got my attention and I've heard some good things about Peri Peri chicken. They have a pretty extensive menu so take your time and see all they have. We ordered the Peri Peri wrap, quarter chicken over rice, kids cheeseburger meal with Peri Peri fries and a mango mojito. The food took about 18 minutes to be ready and we took it to go. We had the food about 7 minutes after that so the change in temperature from the pickup to eating was not significant. The wrap was good but too saucy as the chicken and lettuce got lost in the sauce also it stated it comes with pico de gallo but either it was very little or they forgot to put it. The quarter chicken over rice said leg and thigh so I assumed two pieces but was just one piece of a small leg thigh. They should reword the menu info as it's a little misleading. I got that with their mild sauce and it's similar to Halal white sauce. The rice was good and maybe a little more veg/salad would have been nice. The kids meal cheeseburger was pretty well sized and if their smash burgers are similar I might have to try it. The Peri Peri fries were ok and nothing special about the seasoning. It had some sitting under the heat lamp texture and temperature to it. It could have been regular fries and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Lastly the mango mojito was good, not too sweet and very light mango taste. All in all a good meal but nothing memorable to be honest. Just some notes, they charge higher prices if using a credit card. They do not have any online or delivery options yet. When I called they said they can deliver locally and charge a fee which may be $5 but aren't sure. Some little things I noticed while waiting for the food as I was the only customer at the time and three tables and the floor had food debris which should have cleaned up as it's a nice new looking interior and to see it unkept isn't a good look. Wish the place the best and hope they get better.

    The food is sooo delicious and fresh I have almost tried all of their items from the menu, it's a 5 star service and the ambiance is very cool. I love the food I crave it almost everyday. The chef personally comes and asks the guests also the lady at the front is also very helpful Over all amazing customer service and delicious food 100% recommended

    Peri peri chicken with rice, fries, and mango mojito

    The staff were really attentive and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious! There's no place like this on the block!! The flavors and presentation are on point I got the peri peri chicken with rice and fries, a mango mojito, and the classic bull burger. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The best part is you can adjust the spice levels too. This spot is definitely my go to place!

    Delicious chicken and sandwiches, always served piping hot and fresh. Friendly professional service…read morewith a smile. Great value too (for $50 you can get a family combo that includes a variety of sandwiches, wraps, wings, A WHOLE CHICKEN, fries, nuggets, cheese sticks, and a large soda!). Aside from the soft drinks, they also serve hot/iced espresso and coffee. Seriously, don't sleep on the espresso drinks... you can save a few "bucks" by coming here instead and supporting this small business (hehe, see what I did there?). Clean indoor seating is available (small tables that fit about 4 adults). The girl at the counter is always super sweet. She kindly covered the coffee sipper with a sticker that had a sweet note on it. )This Americano will help me through the rest of my hospital shift!) I will continually return!

My toddler likes her a lot and wants to play with her and visit every so often. The food across the board is delicious. I have pretty much tried everything here except a few of the appetizers and the pistol legs. The only item that I don't particularly like is the pumpkin pie, while it's tasty and has a nice texture I don't really taste any pumpkin. I hope this place stays open would really be a good staple and some added variety to the restaurants available in the few blocks of stores located in this section of 108 street.

    I really love the food here, and that's what makes this review difficult to write. The food is…read moregenuinely delicious, and I would absolutely recommend trying the restaurant based on the quality of the food alone. However, I've personally decided not to return because of the restaurant's policies regarding reasonable modifications and additional charges. My issue isn't that I expect everything to be free or that I expect the kitchen to completely change every dish for me. I understand that some modifications may cost extra, and I am more than willing to pay for additional ingredients or extra food. For example, I asked if I could have truffle shrimp mac and cheese and was willing to pay extra for the shrimp and any additional ingredients, but they would not make the modification. Another example was a dish that included rice cakes and fish cakes. I only wanted the rice cakes, without the fish cakes, but I was still charged for the full dish. I understand that there may be preparation and pricing considerations, but it felt unreasonable to pay the same price when I was receiving less food--especially since I would assume the fish cakes are likely one of the more expensive components of the dish. The drink policy was also frustrating. They charge for additional soda refills, even though the soda comes from the fountain. I also ordered seltzer water, which comes from the same type of gun and doesn't require syrup, and was told that additional refills would also cost extra. I know some people may think this sounds like a small thing, but paying around $10 for three refills of soda or seltzer can add up quickly. I realize I may sound picky, and I understand that restaurants have their own policies and pricing structures. I'm not writing this review to discourage anyone from eating here because, again, I truly love the food. I'm writing it more for people like me who appreciate having some flexibility when making reasonable modifications and who may not expect to be charged for every refill. If you're happy ordering directly from the menu without modifications and don't mind paying for additional drink refills, you will probably have a great experience because the food really is excellent. Unfortunately, for me, dining out should also include being able to get what I want within reason, especially when I'm willing to pay for additional food or ingredients. Because of that, despite loving the food, I've decided not to return.

Anyway, the front of the joint has this dark green paint store facade with a big sign that shows beer specials, inviting me and you inside. Instagram calls it 'Good vibes, great food, and a s..', I don't even know what the rest of that sentence was supposed to be, but it's probably pure crap anyway. ​Inside, they've got this sleek-looking metallic bar with hanging yellow lights, there is always a couple of guys sitting around pretending they're having the greatest time in the world. It depresses the hell out of me. ​They also have a picture of the menu explaining what some might consider a user friendly way to pick your food and assorted preferenced. It goes somethinglike this. 'Step 1: Choose Your Chicken,Step 2: Choose Your Batter, Step 3: Choose Your Sauces. It's so damn complicated to me. They make you go through all these steps just to get a piece of fried bird. They've got all kinds of crispy wings, some are glossy, some are glazed and sticky, choose your drumsticks or wings. I really like their fried dumplings too and their little free side dishes of radish cubes and coleslaw. Come on your birthday, show identification and you'll get a Happy Birthday sign right on your free basket of chicken legs, or was it a free chicken? I cant recall exactly, but yiu cant leave with it and you cant give it to uour friend, I haveknownsome that tried and i think thats uncool. Imagine getting fried chicken for your birthday, from someone you dont know, it's enough to make you feel like someone out there cares.

I also appreciate that the music isn't too loud, so we could actually talk and hear each other while dining. Everything feels clean, polished, and inviting. The staff were incredibly cordial and attentive. They had the initiative to check on us from time to time and refill our water without us having to ask. I also love how generous they are with the sides! My favorite dish here is definitely the Galbi. Every bite took me back to Japan. I know this is Korean cuisine, but the Galbi reminded me so much of the one I've had in Japan, which is probably why I enjoyed it even more. We ordered the group meal with Bimbimao, and we also really loved the chicken wings. I just wish the wings were a little bigger and that the serving was more generous! We also tried their rice wine and Kuku cocktails, and both were delicious. They definitely don't skimp on the drinks! I'll definitely keep coming back. This was already my fourth time bringing a group of friends and family here, and I can see myself doing it again. At this point, I'm hoping they'll consider having a loyalty or discount card for regular customers like me!

We thought the pork galbi was not that good though. They didn't have the usual char to it and they didn't give much fat/lean pieces, just purely lean pieces, so it was a bit dry. But the soondubu and mackerel were amazing! It was perfectly tender and crispy, with the right amount of fat. Paired perfectly with the kimchi. We had a great time and will definitely be back.
