Went here recently since there was an offer for a free two piece meal from the NYC Football Club…read morewin. I liked the option to get one piece fried and one piece roasted chicken. Perfect for indecisive people or those who like variety. The roasted chicken was juicy, flavorful and had a nice combination of Latin spices. I favor that over the fried chicken that lacked the spice level of the roasted. It did have a thin coating on it with a light seasoning. Unfortunately I didn't get to the fried chicken for sometime so the coating was not as crisp as it would be fresh. I'll have to give that another try. Inside the meat was just as juicy as the roasted. Service was good and my meal was ready upon arrival.

Stopped by after the Touch-a-Truck event at the Merrick Library. Instead of figuring out individual…read moremeals, we went with the 8-piece family meal, knowing it might be a bit too much food. The meal includes 8 pieces of leg and thigh, 4 rolls, and 2 sides--we chose yucca fries and mac & cheese. I had takeout from a previous Yelp event, so I didn't expect dine-in service, but they gave us a table number and brought the food out to us. They also provided melamine plates, which was a nice surprise and made the meal feel more dine-in than fast-casual. When I the staff member about takeout containers, she misunderstood and immediately brought them over with a bag--honestly, super helpful. Service was outstanding. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The chicken was crispy and full of flavor. My son loved the yucca fries and rolls. I especially enjoyed the mac & cheese and chicken. We also tried the jamaica and horchata drinks (not included in the meal), and both were excellent. I wish I had a Pollo Campero near me--but maybe it's for the best, or I'd be here all the time!

THIS IS A REVIEW FROM AN UBEREATS ORDER…read more This was my boyfriend and I's first time trying Yoyo chicken after hearing great things and we were really looking forward to it but was horribly disappointed. (TLDR - we both got sick) Placed an uber eats order for tenders & fries and it came fairly quickly so the chicken was still hot & crispy, though the waffle fries we ordered were steamed together so it was kinda soft. The tenders look like they were flattened then fried which I appreciated because that means theres more surface for the seasoning & extra cripsy. However, my bf who ordered the Original said his was bland & tasted plastic-y ( i thought it was ok, underseasoned but not necessarily plastic). My tenders were supposed to be Very Hot but it wasnt particularly spicy and had a slight acidity which makes me wonder if i got the hot lemon pepper instead? There was definitely seasoning though because it was visibly reader & coated in an oil that but it wasnt particularly flavorful. (I recently got Famous Daves and will say its not as flavorful as their Hot). The main issue came after when my bf suddenly felt unwell and said his stomach hurt, we originally figured it wasnt related to yoyo chicken and was a fluke because I felt okay and this was the only meal we shared. However, hours later both my bf and I woke up from stomach pain and were pretty violently ill. (Ill save you guys the details). Unsure what happened because we heard great things (albeit from a different location) but I honestly dont think we will risk trying yoyo chicken again

Yo-Yo Chicken is seriously one of those spots that just gets it. From the moment you walk in, you…read morecan smell how fresh everything is. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside -- not greasy at all. You can tell they actually care about consistency and quality. I ordered to go, and this is the part that impressed me most: by the time I got home and opened the bag, the food was still hot . Not "kind of warm" hot -- actually hot and fresh like it just came out of the kitchen. That alone says a lot about how they package and time their orders. Portion sizes were solid, flavors were on point, and everything tasted freshly made. This is definitely a go-to spot if you want good chicken without the wait or disappointment. I'll 100% be back and honestly might make this a regular stop. Highly recommend.

I stopped into this cozy spot after passing it many times on the highway and finally decided to…read moregive it a try. The restaurant itself has a warm, inviting feel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I had the chance to meet the owner, Bobby, who was very approachable and took the time to introduce himself. My interactions him and his team I would rate 5-stars. I value supporting Black-owned businesses, which made the visit even more meaningful. One piece of constructive feedback: I ordered fried whiting, and the fish I received did not appear to be whiting. The fish was okay overall, but I would have appreciated being informed if it was unavailable so I could have chosen something else. I'm currently avoiding red meat, chicken, and pork and eating fish only during this Lenten season, so I'm especially particular about my food orders. Because of that, not receiving what I requested was disappointing. For that reason alone, I'd rate the food 3 stars. Because the overall experience was pleasant, I will give a 4 star rating--as I do plan to return to explore other items on the menu. I might order the whiting again, but will confirm the order before leaving and will return to sample more of the menu, especially since my parents love barbecue.

The French toast was burnt, when asked how was my meal , I told the waitress my French toast was burnt, flat and tasteless. She told the cook, her response was " I didn't have the bread I normally use so, I used regular bread and I couldn't do anything about it (burnt). " ARE YOU KIDDING ME, you send out burnt flat Wonder Bread and I should be ok with that. Didn't ask if I wanted something different or adjust the bill or tell me you didn't have French toast. Any of that would have sufficed. I try to support but some make it really difficult. Oh, the shrimp and grits were good, that's what the two stars are for. DO BETTER PLEASE

Loved it! It's not a…read morebig place--just five tables with four seats each in the enclosed "outdoor" dining area, plus the bar, which seats another dozen or so. But that's part of the charm. Cozy. Hometown. The New England clam chowder was superb. The fried clam strips were incredibly light and airy--not heavy or greasy at all. The steamed shrimp was flavorful, and the green salad was impressively fresh. The coleslaw was just mid for me--it needed a little more punch--but that's definitely a personal preference. This isn't cheap fast food. We spent about $100 for dinner for two, including tip, with no drinks. But the quality of the food made it feel worthwhile. Anthony was an absolute pleasure to meet. He shared a little of his family's history with the restaurant and we discussed family, travels, and other adventures. That personal interaction made an already great meal even more memorable. Great little spot with excellent seafood and a lot of personality. We'd happily come back!

I have ordered takeout before but today I just needed a moment to sit and enjoy something comforting . This place and the chowder did the trick. The place has been around since the 30's so that says a lot. They do have tables outdoor under a tent but I love the nostalgic vibe of the inside counter with the little stools. You can watch them fry up all the goodies. I was immediately greeted, sat and my beautiful bowl of chowder came. The service is endearing and though my first time dining in, they treated me like I was a regular and they do with everyone. Maybe that's why they have been around so long. Good food is great but service that makes you feel like you are a regular is top tier. As The clouds rolled in the thunder struck and as the rain poured down, I enjoyed my lovely bowl of New England clam chowder. They are heavy on the fresh clams and just right on the potatoes. They do have the red chowder and their Long Island version which is a mix of the 2. This just hit the spot all around and on a day like I was having today, filled my soul. I'll BE BAck for the good fried goodies next time. Thank you!

Without doubt this is going to go on my weekly standby. The food here is absolutely amazing. I…read morealmost wondered. How was it possible for them to even make money? On my first order I ordered the chicken bento box. There was a one dollar up charge. But 5 huge pieces of wings/drumsticks, a large portion of spicy noodles, a pint of Korean fried rice and coke. All for $14 after tax?? I was able to make a meal for two days out of this. Because it was so much food. Chicken pieces are so meaty and crunchy!!! I've already come back here a second time, dragging my boyfriend in with me. Soy garlic, olive oil (regular flavor) and swicy (spicy sweet) are fantastic. Do try to order ahead as everything is made fresh to order, so you might be waiting 15 minutes or so. Can't speak to the Boba tea. Luckily they take Apple Pay, as I ran out of cash the day I over ordered and ran out of out cash. Very nice employees! And no, this review isn't fake. I live in Tampa but spend my summers in Long Beach.

My personal favorite is the pulled pork sandwich, and our kids absolutely love the nuggets. One thing I really appreciate is the consistency. The food is made fresh every time, and whenever I place an order, it's always accurate. I've never had an issue with missing items or mistakes, and the wait time is usually very short. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, stroller-friendly, and handicap accessible, which makes dining here with little ones much easier. The staff is friendly, and I've visited so often that the owner recognizes me by face--after this review, he'll probably know me by name too! If you're local or heading to Long Beach, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a family-friendly road food, or just consistently good food, Sizzle & Scoop is definitely worth a visit.
