Came here for lunch after seeing the place on tik tok and it was decent! There is a good selection of items - I got the 5pc chicken with Cajun fries and the the Nashville hot honey and carribean hot sauces. The food was juicy and flavorful, but not anything super special that is worth writing home about. The food came out relatively quickly which I appreciated, but this location could have been a lot cleaner. I'm not sure if it was cause of the lunch rush that they couldn't clean, but it wasn't. read more

I was in the mood for a chicken cesar wrap so I came in here looking for exactly that. They do have a pretty extensive menu so there are plenty of different ways you can get your chicken and a large variety of sauces. I went for the chicken Caesar wrap which comes with crispy chicken, coleslaw, pickles and dressing. I personally enjoyed the wrap very much since it was packed with flavor and the chicken was very crispy. I believe it had too much crunch and could have had less pickles, it threw off the flavor a bit. I also ordered mushroom poppers which were actually very delicious, they were small but very flavorful. I would give this location another try and order something different. read more

I have always loved Sticky's. Recently they have changed ownership/management and the menu has been changed. They have an à la carte option, but you can only order à la carte, it if you order a meal. So basically you can add à la carte extra chicken to your meal but cannot get a singular chicken tender on the other court menu. The sauces have changed since the original Sticky's. But they've maintained many of the good saucy originals. Always a calm ambience. A good place to order and sit if there are tables available. 5/5 chicken even with the changes. read more

Sticky's - 5pc Chicken Fingers - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of the few places open late (past 10 pm) on the east side near Lexington and 48th where our hotel was. My partner loved this chicken place when he used to live here and so we came back so I could try it. We really enjoyed the chicken for the most part, even though the chicken was sitting there waiting to be bought -- the price is good, for a 12pc Chicken Popper Basket with fries and two sauces, we paid $14.50 plus $2 tip. Not bad at all. The workers there are patient, and they sort of have to be with a lot of choices with sauces -- we weren't sure what to get. I will say though that the maple hot sauce was nothing that I thought it'd be. It just tasted like franks Buffalo sauce and so I wasn't sure if they gave me the wrong sauce or the sauces aren't really what they say they will be. But either way we enjoyed our chicken and would come back the next time we are in town. read more

Sticky's - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

No need to go back, I can buy four times the amount of chicken and chop it up into my deep fryer and achieve a better crunch, a better flavor, a better amount, and a better attitude. Sticky's ain't doin' anything revolutionary and I'm tired of their hype. Mushy fries, flavorless truffle parm, sauces don't even hit great It's good for your shitty fast food chicken but not worth the money if you can handle yourself in the kitchen... my stomach already hurts and I'm writing this with actual sticky fingers and most the food still sitting on the table- No thanks mr sticky I want my money time and dignity back read more

There was no wait. Food came out within a minute and as always delicious. I love sticky's all the locations because the music is always on point. This location is in the heart of kips bay not too far from the movie theater and a cheaper option to movie theater food. I deducted a star because it was filthy but I understand as it was one server/cashier and another staff preparing the food. read more

Came here late night after a party and chicken strips after a long dance/drink session really hits the spot. The workers were super chill and just happily vibing while serving customers. I asked if I could change my sauce and they just let me keep the other one. My friend ended up making some requests to change her order midway, and they were super cool about it. Hot honey was a little thinner and less full-bodied than I would've liked, but not bad at all. Sticky's sauce was pretty good, which surprised me because I'm a hot honey gal and not usually a fan of aoili-type sauces. So, chicken strips were good, but not exceptional by any means. The fact that the service was so quick and that they put a lot of fresh parsley(?) on it was a nice touch though. Awesome vibes, decent chicken, and a nice variety of sauces (and ways to eat the chicken) sums up my experience. read more

Is it the best? No. But is it reliable and will satisfy your fried chicken cravings, yes. It's fast and easy to order, a bit soggy aka not totally crispy, but the chicken was juicy and warm. Got the sticky's sauce and it felt like a more mayo heavy chik fil a sauce. read more

It was goodish. I always walk past and have been meaning to try it! The tenders were so pretty when I saw them but eating them was crazy because it was truly DRENCHED. I understand the vibe of sticky's but this much sauce was just truly unnecessary. It was good but I would try something else or just get sauces on the side next time. read more

Sticky's is my jam. The buffalo ranch tenders are my favorite. It is served with shredded carrots and it just works. Perfect snack or meal. It is a little pricey but you are paying for good quality chicken tenders. I know they have a bunch of locations and I would go back when in the mood for tenders. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. There was no line and only one group of people eating inside (it's a small spot, so there are only really spots for two groups to eat). If you're eating there, they take down your information for COVID precautions. Two of us shared 1 large crunchy poppers with fries -- this was the perfect amount as we weren't too hungry. It came with a choice of three sauces. We got sticky sauce, honey mustard(?) and chipotle aioli. The chicken are real pieces of chicken (no nuggets) which are nice and crunchy and hot. The sticky sauce was a bit strange -- it was white but not super creamy?? The mustard and chipotle aioli were huge hits. The sauce balanced the slightly dry chicken and made it better to eat. Overall a decent spot for chicken. For this price point, it's quite good; however, the sticky sauce really threw me off. Came bc my sister recommended it, but apparently the sauce she recommends is the thai sauce, so I'll have to come back and try again. read more

Sticky's - Large Crunchy Popper Basket - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

Yum! Got some of the new chicken thigh bites along with Cajun fries. I think there's a cumin funk from the Cajun spices or something that was a little odd. Still, the chicken was very good, crispy on the outside and super juicy meat in the middle. Fries were also done very well, again crispy on the outside but a soft interior. The basket option comes with just more than enough fries to round out a meal for one, so plan accordingly. They fry stuff here and they do it well, with enough sauce choices to please anyone. Solid choice read more

The Chicken Sandwich Wars rage on in 2021. After shopping at Trader Joe's down the street, I came across Sticky's sign declaring themselves the "Best Damn Chicken Sandwich". In NYC, in the World? This I had to check out after having tasted Chick Fil-A, Popeye's, Wendy's, KFC, Fuku, Chick'nCone and the like. Even McD is entering the arena this month with a revamped Crispy Chicken. Do I dare to get the Spicy Chicken Sandwich? At $8.04, it's a decent sized value, more than your average fast food joint, but better than $10 at Fuku. You get 2 Hulk sized chicken fingers on a bun (with pickles), doused in hot sauce. In hindsight, maybe I should have specified a different sauce. The default Sticky's Hot Sauce was killer HOT and I usually like spicy foods. I tasted a little on my finger when I unwrapped the sandwich and thought, "What did I get myself into?? They put Carolina Reaper whatsis in here?" After the first bite, I was dying. I had to take 2 eat breaks for the heat to die down before I was able to finish the sandwich. Maybe next time I'll ask for the kids version because I don't like to cry in the middle of my lunch. I may be a little biased from having my tastebuds scorched, but it was not the best damn sandwich I've ever had, but it was OK. I'll have to come back to try just the chicken fingers with the many sauce choices and render another judgement once my tongue recovers. At least there are 8 different locations in Manhattan to try. read more

Great chicken fingers ... but even better mushroom poppers! I came here for an online pickup during the COVID-19 pandemic in June and, I won't go into details about their safety protocols, but they were in line with what you would expect nowadays. Only 3 customers were allowed inside at once and social distancing is recommended. As for the menu, for first timers, it can be a little overwhelming with the different options, but basically everything revolves around their chicken fingers. First, you select what type of chicken you want (fingers, poppers, grilled or veggie). Next, you choose the size of your order, which will determine how many pieces and sauces you get (small, medium, large). Then, you pick your sauce(s). And that's it! You can also make it a meal basket for a few extra bucks, which will include an order of fries, or you can order from their menu of various sides, but those won't be included as part of the basket. If you're not into eating chicken fingers alone, you can instead order a chicken sandwich/salad/wrap, but who are we kidding? If you're here, you're a chicken fingers lover! I placed my order online for pickup and on the online menu I noticed that there were a few items featured that I did not see at the location's menu. One of them being the mushroom poppers! How can that be left off of the physical location's menu?! My wife and I ended up ordering a medium mushroom popper basket (12 pieces) and medium chicken fingers (3 pieces). Both with classic fries. If you're very hungry, a medium basket will do the job because the orders were huge! In addition, they did not skim on the fries either. The boxes were so full, they couldn't even close them. First, the chicken fingers were delicious. Not overly fried and had plenty of flavor to them. They had some crisp to them, but not overly crispy. Really a solid chicken fingers. The real surprise were the mushroom poppers! What have I been missing all of these years? Perfectly fried mushrooms and they weren't your average mushrooms either. These fungi were enormous. The order could have easily fed 2 people. To be honest, it was one of the best things I have eaten in a really long time - whether it was a fancy shmancy restaurant, fast food joint or casual spot. It was THAT good. Sticky's feels like it has been open in NYC forever, but it's never too late to finally try it. The chicken fingers were excellent, but don't ignore the mushroom poppers because those are what I will absolutely be coming back for! read more

Finally decided to give Sticky's a try after years of walking past it to and from work. I wanted to see what the hype was as it's always buzzing during the lunch hours. I caught the back end of the lunch rush so the line wasn't as size-able as usual. Their menu and concept is straight forward and simple - chicken fingers and fries. Naturally, I ordered just that. Tenders on a bed of fries with a couple choice toppings. The sauce is what sets them apart. They offer around 15 sauces all of which aren't your standard bbq or what not. Definitely worth a try! read more

Thursday, February 8th, 2024: Here it is eight (8) days into the Nation's, well, partial NATION celebrating #blackhistory , or Black Heritage Month, and as I am waiting for my car service, I had decided to treat myself to a lil' summin' summin' and stop at STICKY's on East 33rd Street & 3rd Avenue. I have about forty-five minutes to KILL, so, getting something to eat is paramount to my health, and peace of mind, for without eating something, like these SNICKER BAR commerical, I can turn into #arethafranklin , and/or #eltonjohn rolled all into one. But, I digress, here, it is Black Heritage Month, and I am sitting in a fast food place, surrounded around a semi-neighbor; however, the fast-food place had two, young African-Americans, ages seem to be under twenty-five, and would you believe that the music they choose to play over the P. A. system has words like: N÷=%%! , got some B%÷%/ in the kitchen, cooking up some pots; Pycho-B÷=%÷=, F÷=%-IRS, B+××÷=-F\/%=/ here; Undead-that-N-×÷=% . . . just random music with the N-word, and profanity in a place of business, where the predominate clients/customers are Asian, Caucasian, and other . . . and me, and the two BLACK employees. I am getting old, but I also believed that there's a time & place for everything. No, I don't expected "ELEVATOR MUSIC," #jonimitchell , #lincolncenterjazz , but really? So I am wrapping up my food, bitterly, willing to stand out in the cold, until my car arrives; but I don't think . . . MY, ANCESTORS, are NOT pleased!!! ********************************** Sticky's 484 3rd Ave Open Closes 1:30 AM Delivery: Now Ends 1:15 AM NNNN//dvb read more

I absolutely love Sticky's. It's my go to anytime I'm in the city if I don't have a restaurant reservation, I'm going to sticky's. I love their food, the Thai chili is currently my fave.

Excellent fast food joint! Hubby mentioned that this is a good place so we decided to get some food to go as we head back to Grand Central. Ordered some chicken tenders, grilled chicken strips and deep fried mushrooms. Believe it or not but it was great, even the grilled chicken strips - right? The grilled strips surprisingly was not dry and it tasted amazing with the lemon sauce. Anything deep fried is great so the chicken and mushrooms were awesome too! Great place! read more

This place is a sauce lovers paradise! Of course, chicken fingers and fries are the main event - but the sauces tend to steal the show. With over 12 unique dipping sauces to choose from, it's easy to elevate any of their signature combos into something special. I dug into x4 tenders with fries and tried out the waffle sauce, mac sauce, and their signature "sticky sauce". The chicken was well seasoned in a traditional southern style rub. Not too crispy, with just the right amount of fried breading. The waffle sauce provided a nice maple sweetness that paired well with the tang of their sticky sauce. Only complaint, the service was a bit slow. But I imagine that's a result of COVID staffing limits. It looks like they've got a lot more combos to try on their menu so I'll definitely be coming back. read more

The service was great, usually the signatures are packed with sauce and tastes great. I do think that they need to retain some of the employees as one time I ordered a signature and the employee gave me regular tenders with no sauce on the side nor on the tenders. I'm pretty sure the signatures covers the extra sauce but I only received a small container. Besides that the store is really clean and has good seatings, besides being inconsistent. TDLR: retrain employees and staff but other than that the food is awesome. TDLR: read more

Are you looking for a misleading name in food? Well you've found it! When I hear sticky, correct me if I wrong, but I minimally think of juicy or saucy chicken. This place was nothing of the sort. NOTHING OF THE SORT. Paper is juicer than the chicken I had. It was giving clay, air, chalk and whatever else you can think of that's dry as ever. However..... The sauce they include for dipping DEFINITELY helps! If mustard and bbq had a love child it would be this "joints" bbq sauce! Not at all an unfamiliar taste, but strangely addicting. I actually somehow kept eating and I've never EVER enjoyed eating nor cooking dry chicken. This was DEFINITELY a strange experience to say the least. I didn't eat the fries as I didn't need the extra calories and they weren't much to write home about. Extra points for trying to make it pretty with the greenery lol Overall, I wouldn't highly recommend or recommend at all for the matter. If you're in a bind though and want to keep the use of your throat, DO NOT FORGET THE SAUCE! read more

Truffle fries are incredible! I love it with the cray sauce and the lemon aioli sauce!

Probably the tastiest place for chicken I've been to! Quick and efficient service. Great place to stop by for a quick meal or if you're short on time. Been here for lunch during my work break twice and was able to get a seat to eat. I've had the Vampire Killer basket, it was delicious but drenched in too much sauce for my liking - too much for me to actually eat the whole thing! The sauce is amazing so better suited for me on the side. Lately I've been getting the medium popper basket with Cajun fries for lunch, which is usually more than enough for me to eat in one sitting. I usually save the rest for later. The medium basket comes with 12 poppers + two sauces. I personally prefer getting the popper basket over fingers - feels like you get so much more for the $$. My favorite sauce is the chipotle aioli. Honorable mention buttermilk baby ranch. Sticky's sauce is okay, probably just not my thing! read more
