    Red, white and blue chicken sandwich (Buffalo, Ranch, chicken)
    Russell H.

    This food truck parked outside my work and I am not disappointed in trying it. The sandwiches on Texas toast are savory and delicious. The toast is soft, crispy and buttery. The chicken is moist and crunchy. Additional sauces are great and I am a big fan of the ole'76 sauce. The fries were good but not nearly the highlight of the meal which was the sandwich. Good service at the counter and most definitely a place I will try again. Definitely worth a shot if you see it in your neighborhood!

    Saw the stand at Broadway bites while on launch and the lady that was working the register and serving the food was amazing. She was friendly engaging and actually the only reason I actually came back and purchased food. I got the chicken tenders and fries dish( called winner winner) it was good.

    I'm always down to try new chicken, especially when it's claimed to be one of the best. I've seen Yankee Doodle Dandy parked outside my office building almost daily. Their 4.5 star overall rating is what got me to order from them one day. The guy in the truck who took my order was super friendly, and gave me my food pretty quickly. I ordered the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner combo which came with chicken tenders, fries, and a slice of Texas toast. The fries and sauce were a great combo, and the Texas toast was buttery-goodness. The chicken tenders, however, were a bit of a salt bomb. I had to rub the breading off to be able to finish them after my first one. I'm was hoping for more with the all the raving reviews. Maybe I'll give them another chance in the future, or try their chicken sandwich instead.

    Stopped by the food truck to grab a quick lunch to take back to the office. Decided on the Buffalo soldier platter. The chicken was really good; the buffalo sauce is definitely custom and not just off the shelf. The sauce did take away from some of the crispiness on the chicken, but that also could've been because it took me 15 min before I started eating it. Whatever the sauce they gave for the fries wasn't the best, but ok. I would go again to check out the sandwiches or other flavors. Lots of food for 14 bucks which is nice. Definitely get your moneys worth. The truck worker was super friendly and outgoing. Made small talk with everyone who ordered. I read the story behind the business on a poster on the truck - pretty inspiring story and glad to see he now can do what he loves!

    Believe it or not, finding a good chicken tender is difficult. If you work in midtown, you're in luck. Yankee Doodle Dandy serves up some legit chicken tenders. The potato salad is on point as well. My go to order is the Buffalo Soldier which is basically Buffalo chicken tenders. The serving size are generous, the sauce is tasty, and the chickens is flavorful. I highly recommend this food truck.

    This is actually the BEST chicken I've ever had!! The food was absolutely deliciously divine and the sauce with the fries and tenders were to die for. The service was fast and the food was the perfect temperature. The place is so patriotic and the names of the meals are just so creative and well thought out. The restaurant ambiance is so fun and the vibe is just perfect. Highly recommend trying this place out and adding it to your fave places for the best chicken tenders ever. So amazing and so fun!!

    3 piece tender- chicken only.

    Chicken is good, not as flavorful as expected. Probably could use some salt. However, good quality. Gentleman could have explained that the price is the same with or without any sides. $10 for 3 tenders. Came with a delicious sauce on the side. Not sure if that is what they consider bbq sauce but still yummy.

    I'm glad that Yankee Doodle dandy is around and I will certainly try their food again! The service was truly pleasant and the man who took my order (might've been josh?) bent over backwards to make sure I was happy. My suggestion would be that they need to make the tenders crispier, because it's the contrast of crispy and juicy that makes a perfect nugget. The seasoning was really good, but the world of chicken and specifically chicken nuggets is so saturated, that they should try to make sure there's more crunch. The fries are really good, the toast is wonderful, and the potato is salad is good as well!

The food was delicious, I will definitely return. There was no line to order when I arrived, but we were directed to order at a kiosk since they were short staffed up front. The young man at the counter was very busy but kind and I could see the workers in the kitchen working hard as well. The ambiance was typical for a fast casual restaurant. Some people grabbing takeout orders, delivery app workers doing pickups, and dine in patrons at tables. There were seating options for couples as well as groups. I definitely do recommend and will return next time I'm in the area.

( I also ordered tea) I tried again with some friends. Today was the first time I've been inside and actually sat down. Once you order, they ask for your name and then serve your table by calling your name. It's cute. As for the food... I ordered the fried chicken with potato salad, dressing and cornbread and peach cobbler. My chicken looked good, but tasted a little dry. Maybe it was just being under a light for a bit. I visited in the evening. Who knows? My potato salad was a bit bland, and I was hoping for some pickle relish mixed in. (If you know, you know.) I'm not a fan of cobbler, but I thought I'd give it a shot. They also had apple cobbler, which I should have stuck with. I can't tell you how the cornbread dressing was. When I got home they forgot to pack it. I don't think I'll be back, but it's a nice place to sit and chat with others while they enjoy their meals.

This was some of the best fried fish I've had, if we're talking about just the fish itself. The breading is solid - going with a hot level of spice meant there was a good amount of seasoning on top, but I wouldn't classify it as spicy. It was crunchy at points, but missing the flakiness and true crunch I'd associated with top-tier fried fish. However, where it makes up for this is how good the inside of the fish is. This was spectacular - crazy moist, super tender, and just tasted fantastic. The complete opposite of that rubbery texture you get when you overfry the fish. The sauce that came with the fish was a little bland, however As for the sides, I thought the mac and cheese was really good - cheesy, slightly crispy on top, and cooked very well. I also liked the grits - though a bit buttery. The fries were a miss though. For the price, I think around 25 for the meal and a side is a solid deal. The sides especially come with pretty large portion size that will leave you very full. Overall, this is very good Southern food that I certainly enjoyed. 8.5/10

I liked the chicken but I personally wouldn't pay for it again. The best tasting part of the meal was the cornbread but you barely get any of it.

The takeout takes quite a long while and it's pretty cramped inside the actual restaurant especially to wait, so I'd highly recommend ordering ahead of time online.

So..... we went and totally understand the hype. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the amazing dishes and you can literally feel the love they put on each plate as they serve the guests. I almost don't want to share this review for fear that the line may get longer but this restaurant is now one of the few that I recommend you go out of your way to try and enjoy. Their menu is classically simple but made with an abundance of care and no shortcuts in their cooking. As you are seated you are welcome to place your order in the front of the glass display, they cook everything in house and sometimes they run out of the specials so don't sleep on getting there on time. We ended up getting their lunch specials and picked one main and two sides. I know my girl loves Ox Tails and ended up getting the last plate with some candied yams and Mac and cheese. Let me tell you, we cleaned the plate and it was finger licking good!!! The jerk ribs were amazingly tender and fall off the bone. All of the sides were well portioned and absolutely flawless. Don't come here if you're on a diet there is only one way to enjoy this restaurant and it's to just dive in. FYI - you will need a nap after your meal. This place just hits your tastebuds differently; it doesn't just leave an impression, its mind shattering good. You will sing after the meal - happy dancing the whole time as you're eating.

I wanted to love it so much especially since TikTok critic/MMA fighter Keith Lee visited them in 2023, but my experience was not like his. I want to say that online reviews are almost about accurate. They were out of cold salads and collard greens which was an issue for other customers at times as well. No problem, they were super helpful and offered an alternative but not a good one. I had steamed vegetables that mashed in my mouth like mashed potatoes when I took a bite. I did end up going to another spot for collard greens and potato salad because you can't have soul-food without that. I had the rib dinner with mac n cheese and yams and a tiny piece of complimentary cornbread. The ribs definitely taste amazing but they don't take off the membrane in the back which is slimy and gross. I left that part behind. The yams were sweet and good BUT.....that mac n cheese is NOT soul-food Mac n cheese. Here's the thing I figured out, they use such little cheese but season the noodles very well that you don't truly notice unless you love mac n cheese, which I do, so I noticed it lacked so much cheese but had seasoned noodles. The rib dinner was a 3/5 because ribs were great but sides needed help. I had rice and peas as an additional side and fried wings. The wings were ATROCIOUS! I ate the smallest one and didn't eat the rest. How can you serve such huge feathered wings like that? It was a nightmare. The feathers being on it turned me off. This tells me they don't make their food with care, they move quick to be one and done and I want my food cooked with love and care. They were also frozen wings that were thawed and seasoned, I know the difference. The rice and peas were okay 3/5 as well. Overall the food was not worth the hype. Customer service was beautiful for sure but the food was not it.
