    So Good !
    Kern C.

    Best tenders I've ever had . I've only gotten the Thai sweet chili tenders as the others don't call out to me as this one does . The tenders are perfectly moist with a subtle crunch from the light breading and very flavorful . Just an amazing tender ! Their truffle macaroni is also pretty good and scratches the fast food cravings quite sufficiently . High praise for the service as well .

    Tender Crush 529 Broome St. New York, NY 10023 Coney Island Cooler: Coconut Mango Harlem Hots Tribeca Truffle Mac I Scream Tender Located in Soho directly off Sixth Avenue is a casual style chicken restaurant. Let's check out the two-course meal I explored. Coney Island Cooler: Coconut Mango: This frozen non alcoholic beverage is blended with two amazing fruits. It still tasted excellent even without the alcohol. If you do prefer a kick, choose a frozen cocktail with either tequila or vodka. Harlem Hots: This masterpiece is smothered in hot sauce and topped with scallions and blue cheese crumble. The inside was tender and juicy. Have them as is or with blue cheese dipping sauce; the choice is yours. Tribeca Truffle Mac: The shells are cooked in american and cheddar cheese and sprinkled with chives and bread crumbs. You have to give this a "tri" be size you will be highly satisfied! I Scream Tender: This may look like a chicken tender, but it is actually ice cream. Toffee crust replaces breadcrumbs, vanilla ice cream in lieu of chicken, and chocolate caramel dipping sauce is substituted for barbecue sauce. It looks so identical to the the main course, i couldn't believe this was a dessert. As a bonus, Owner Matt also owns a second restaurant specializing in gourmet burgers conveniently located next door. Do yourself a favor and explore here to taste the five boroughs of flavor. #tendercrush #tendercrushsoho #SohoNY #sohonyc #harlemhots #coneyislandcooler #harlemhots #tribecatruffle #iscreamtender

    3 piece tenders, fries, and variety of sauces ($1-$1.5 each).

    Would place closer to 4.5, but rounding up! My husband and I chose to share some tenders and fries, and since it was our first time, we ordered a variety of sauces as well. My favorite sauce was the white BBQ, followed closely by the Truffle cheese. Husband's favorite was combining the Harlem heat and bleu cheese. Tenders were breaded perfectly and had a fantastic crunch while still moist. Fries... who doesn't love a good waffle fry? Definitely more a takeout joint - there's 2 booths and a few counter seats, and we saw quite a few pickup orders while we munched. Would recommend!

    Tender crush....Its a nice spot to get a quick bite. Menu is not overwhelming small and to the point.... It's serves Chicken tenders with your choice of different flavors and comes with different dipping sauces.... So if your waking around in the area take a peek inside and grab a 3pc with fries.... Next door is another good spot....Same owners I believe....

    Tried Tender Crush for the first time, via delivery. You can get chicken tenders that are fried or grilled, or crispy chicken sandwiches. There's a variety of spicy and non-spicy dipping sauces to choose from. I chose the 32nd St BBQ, which came with 3 fried tenders lightly coated with a Korean BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro, with a lime wedge and buttermilk dill dipping sauce on the side. The outside of the tenders was crispy and not greasy; the inside was tender and juicy. They were delicious and I liked that the tenders were not skimpy in size. I got a small order of the Tribeca Truffle Mac, which came with breadcrumbs on the side for you to sprinkle on top (tasted like smashed Ritz crackers, they were so nice and buttery). I enjoyed how the American and cheddar cheese went with the black truffle flavor, and the breadcrumbs provided nice texture. The Mac had the small shell-shaped pasta which were nicely coated in the cheese sauce. I also got a small order of the Chinatown Broccolini (tried to make it healthier by getting my veggies in). It came with slivers of garlic, bird pepper sauce, scallions, ginger, soy, and cilantro. The broccolini looked spicy with all the bits of red bird pepper clinging to it, and it was spicy but tasty. I would would recommend this spot if you have a hankering for chicken tenders or sandwiches.

    Delicious, flavorful, juicy tenders! Take it from a big chicken tender fan, these are awesome! We got the chicken tenders and truffle Mac to go and traveled 20 minutes with it and it held up great! Still warm, didn't dry out at all and the mac and cheese held up well too! The sauces were delicious and creative. Can't wait to try it again.

    My family and I were visiting New York and prior to our trip I saw JaRule post this place and decided to give it a try. My son is a chicken tender head so I knew he would enjoy it. The young lady who took our order and the owner were very nice and welcoming. We ordered a bunch of food and their signature slush drink ( alcohol slushies) everything was fresh and delicious. The owner expressed the great lengths he goes through to make sure the food is fresh and prepared to the customers liking. I appreciated that. We were given samples of the slushies so we can decide which one we wanted. There was strawberry margarita one and another they named the Amber Rose. The Amber rose was good and strong. The place is small however there are a few tables to sit and enjoy your good if you're not on the go. Definitely would go again when visiting New york

    I had a day yesterday. Spent the morning with my mother and then my doctor appointment and then it was time to treat me. My knee was killing me but it didn't stop me from making it to this place. And I'm so glad I did. Everything was good. I loved my drink it was a perfect mix Frozen Honeycomb featuring Amber & Opal Honey Botanical Whiskey.and I can really see me buying it and secondly those crispy chicken didn't have to be so damn good lol. I wanted to take some.home.but it would not have made it. I cannot ot wait to go back and bring my broke best friend and get something else on the menu. I had a good day bum knee and all.

    STATEN ISLAND CRUNCH SANDWICH $10
    Lauren L.

    Small fried chicken shop that specializes in all things chicken. They have straight chicken tenders, and also chicken sandwiches. I went for the Staten Island chicken sandwich, which was about $10 which I thought wasn't too bad. It was a pretty small size, but it was tasty and had good flavor. The only option when you walk in is to order it at the kiosk in the front. Our food though took a good 20 minutes for it to come out since I think there was only one person working in the back overall not bad for the price.

    To Start Off The Interior Is Heavily Inspired By NYC. From The Menu Options To The Decor. It's Vibrant And The Whole Restaurant Is On Theme. All The Chicken Is Freshly Cut And Fried. The Tender Dogs, Chicken Sandwiches, Truffle Mac & Cheese, And Peach Coconut Slushie Are Must Try Items. Plus They Have A Variety Of Sauces. Thank You To Matt For Helping Me Out. Service Was A Really Good. This Is A Spot To Check Out In Soho.

    Best Tenders in NYC , hands down !! Love the sauces and the whole concept. They live up their sister location Black Tap. Tenders were very juicy and fried just right. Loved the sauces , favorite was still the Blue Cheese and Sweet Chili in my opinion. Definitely try the Coconut Mango and their Black and White Soft Serve. Service - 10/10 Ambiance- Dope Parking - Street

    We are from the Midwest and my family wanted some chicken! This place was so perfect. Crispy the way it should be and the sauces were amazing.

    Sarah Q.

    The space is small but that's NYC. I had 3 chicken tenders with BBQ sauce and honey mustard and the ice cream tender with strawberry sauce. It was so good! Would def go back again!

We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

Our return visit was a completely different experience. I appreciate the way the owner handled the situation and his willingness to have an open conversation with us. It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.

Two-part, proper settle, tight dome, no rushing it. That's rarer than it should be in Midtown where half the bars treat a stout like a lager. Whoever's behind the bar here has been trained or grew up around it. Food's better than a second-floor pub between 5th and 6th has any right to be. The JRB burger comes on a house-ground patty (they grind in-house, and you can tell, loose texture, actual seasoning), caramelized onions cooked down all the way, not just softened, good cheese pull. Fried pickles on the side had a crisp cornmeal shell and stayed crunchy under the burger juices, which never happens. Buttermilk chicken salad was the surprise. Chicken actually brined, crust stayed on, greens weren't an afterthought. Only real knock: music was loud. Not sports-bar loud, more like the bartender's playlist got away from him. Fine at the bar, harder at a table if you want to talk. Room's got real bones. Reclaimed barn wood, old rail track as a foot rest, that big 45-star flag on the wall. Been here almost 20 years and it's aged into itself. For the neighborhood the pricing's fair. Beats P.J. Clarke's on the burger, loses on quiet. Go for a beer and a burger, not a date.
