My all time favorite delivery place, consistently great food, on time.Consistency is huge with delivery, as disappointing if you wait all that time then your order is wrong or not cooked well. At least 50 deliverys over the years from chirping chicken, and they nailed everyone!They even give crazy good service and let you order your chicken exactly how you like it, Eg moist, super moist, well cooked etc. Thank you!
Ordered from them at ~6:30 on a Friday night using their website. Which said 30 minutes for delivery. Called about an hour later and was told order was on the way. Called another 30 minutes later and told order was 5 minutes away. Order never arrived. They stole $20. Unhelpful staff as well. Have been ordering from Chirping Chicken for several years, and this will be the last time.
We were on our way to get a cookie at a nearby bakery when we found this place and decided to stop for lunch. We’re so glad that we stopped because it was delicious! My wife and I shared a half chicken with fries and a side salad. Every part was great. The chicken was grilled but moist. The fries were crispy and fluffy. And the portion size was very generous - we were both stuffed at the end of the meal. We highly recommend!
This place is always great. Know what you want tho they get busy and dont have time for dawdling. That being said, if youre with kids, they are super kind and patient. Food is good. Portions are big.
SO good!!! One of my favs in nyc. My husband and I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and it was delicious!!! The staff here is really friendly and service was excellent. We really enjoy coming here. Wish they had a location downtown!! Great spot
Great take out spot and large seating area indoors and outdoors. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food is delicious. Chicken wings are my favorite with their blue cheese! Their mac n cheese and french fries are yummy too! Definitely recommend for quick luch to go or dine in.
This place used to be ok, but after Corona they just became terrible. Mostly because of their customer service. They used to have some girls working as cashers and they were ok, but it seems like they are all gone now so now the owners are doing their job. I understand they hate dealing wth customers, but that’s really not my problem lol. Now I try to go there only if I absolutely have to. I hope something similar opens closeby so I can just go there…
Not as good as it used to be, staff is not friendly at all, food tasted unclean, tomatoe sauce not included. The place doesnt care anymore. Bathrooms are sooo disgusting, not worthy. I am only giving ot 2 stars for old time sakes.
Stopped in just walking by. Really good chicken soup that comes with lots of pita bread for about $5.50. But beware it is VERY salty. So if thats an issue for you, I would avoid that and try something else. Its all good!
Food was just okay - nothing wrong with it but the chicken did not stand out at all and was very mediocre.
Really good well made chicken. The 1/4 lunch for $12 and change with rice and salad was excellante. Comfort food delight!
A little overpriced but food tastes good. 👍 Half chicken with salad & mashed potatoes $20 😬
Chirping chicken is the best chicken 🐔 I ever tasted. I could have it everyday and the Greek salad 🥗 is great too 😋 everything is good 👍
When it says delivered at 7:25 … and at 8:05 trying to call multiple times and being hung up on 3 times then placed on hold and finally getting answered to be told “it’s coming, bye”Not the best customer service.I would recommend use the other location on 106th 👍🏻
Do you like rotisserie chicken?if the answer is yes, then come to this place. I stopped by for a dinner meal and I enjoyed my meal so much Im going to be a regular . The chicken was moist and flavorful and came with pita and a hot side. I got a baked potato which also was delicious. I cant speak highly enough about this place. It is delicious, fast and well priced.
Delicious chicken and generous portions! We had the 1/2 Chicken with Greek Salad. Quite filling and enjoyed the combination.
Shawarma was quite good. The half chicken platter was a ton of food. Have to ask for sauces.
Awesome variety of food, big burgers, very close to the American natural history museum, service was good,
Mr SORIN PERIANU is a schemer! He had me come to this location to pick up a bounced check at midnight with my child! Last summer 2021 hottest day of the year, his place by 42nd st had no Heat! Service call was $178.00 did not get paid. I bought filters belts and water strainers, job is done for one unit! Now he’s out of town, now when I call no answer. I go to all he’s establishment and I get the same answer. Sir you will pay in Jesus name! Mr SORIN PERIANU is a crook!
Food is decent, although the mac and cheese had a weird texture, like shredded, and had a bland taste, the prices have gone up a few bucks across the board too, might not visit too much anymore, nice staffEDIT: update February 2022. Sometimes they give you dark meat when I’ve ordered white meat, so check before you leave. Also they almost charged me for sauce as well.
Simply delicious. Affordable lunch or dinner. One of the best grilled chicken. Sweeet potato mash is just right.
Ordered take out - full chicken and a large greek salad. Called back for them to review the order which they did correctly. Then I received the order missing the salad! I call and they say they will deliver it right away free of charge. A half hour later after finished the chicken they come back with the Salad and demand full payment for the salad which was our dessert ! Had enough.
Really great find in the Upper West Side of NYC. Only a few blocks from the Natural History Museum. Had the half chicken with rice & beans, delicious. Great price 👍
Good food, alright prices (image of small chicken shawarma
Got the 1/2 chicken lunch special, which came with pita, salad, and a side (I chose rice and beans). The food was so filling and the chicken was both moist and flavorful. I would love to come again!
Great place for a quick bite. Nice menu which can please different taste buds. Chicken, lamb gyro, shawarma, sandwiches and salads (small salad portion is actually pretty big). Great service, clean restroom. Finding parking wont be easy as usually. A public parking is about 3 min. walking time, but its not cheap. One of the best NY bakeries is just 40 feet away.
Great place large menu selections been going to this restaurant for over 25 years. There chicken is delicious!
For what it is, this place is great. Their chicken is tender and delicious, and also reasonably priced. The space is a bit crowded, but people are friendly. Their toilets are a bit run down, but spacious, so taking a potty training child there is sub-optimal.The best option is to order their chicken and salad online deal.
My friends and I just wanted to grab a quick bite before the movies at a non fussy and chill environment and we happened upon this location on the way down to the theatre ...Absolutely loved it, fast service, food was delicious (huge portions and the juiciest grilled chicken breast Ive had in awhile) ...Ill be coming back and making this a regular spot for some light easy grub.
Fabulous tender moist chicken. Great family place. Good delivery too.
Super delicious! Juicy chicken, succulent ribs, served with slaw and bread, heaps of variety, lots of locals around. Get amongst it!
Wings are a rip off. Taste ok buy $16 for small wingets that are smaller than a ketchup pouch wont work. Not to mention overpriced fries. These are the same exact wing as they serve at pool halls, bought at Restaurant Depot. Same exact one. Half a chicken maybe worth $12 and it tastes good. But dont buy the wings !$!
Love the chirping chicken mini-chain restaurant. The W77th St location is my favorite. Great chicken, moist on the inside with crispy skin on the outside.Love the fresh salad and all of the sides are delish. Get there early because they always run out of the baked potato and sometimes a lot of the sides. The Times Square location now only offers the sweet potato as a side so thats a problem for me but I will still go there when Im in the mood for a sweet potato. Also the Grand Central location located in the lower level of the building, the food court offers the roasted potato which I love but theyre a little off my beaten track .
I was tired and not in the mood to cook and decided to have ostensibly junk food so I went in for nuggets and onion rings. They were expensive and very mediocre. The people were nice though.
Chirping Chicken had great service, great food, and a great location. We stopped by after visiting the American Museum of Natural History and got a whole chicken, two sides, flatbread, and three drinks for just $24. The chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned and paired excellently with the flatbread. I didnt get a chance to taste the French fries, but the macaroni and cheese was acceptable. We even had leftovers when we headed back home!
It was very good. I like the lettuce red onions and tomatoes
We ordered from chirping chicken and they only delivered one part of the order. i have a huge family and only 2 of us were able to eat. i called the restaurant multiple times and they told me the rest of my food was coming. it is now 11 pm (we placed the order at 8:00pm) and no food is here. i am incredibly upset and disappointed and my family is hungry. this place is unreliable and you should not order from here
Probably the best grilled chicken Ive ever had! Super tender and juicy with lots of flavor. Cant wait to go again!The mac&cheese didnt have flavor, though, and the coleslaw was fine but a little too creamy (and I dont say that often). I will definitely come back for the chicken but will try other sides.
Delicious and filling chicken sandwich at a reasonable price. Worth a visit when in Manhattan, char broiled flavor cant be beat.
Chicken shop that sells a whole lot more than just Chicken including beef burgers, steak, seafood etc. There are about 7 internal tables abd 5 outside ones.Disabled access is passable apart from a bbad step at the main door and tgere are toilets on premises.
Every time I order from this place, the food takes forever to arrive or the order is wrong. An hour and a half for chicken fingers? By the time it arrived the food was already cold. Im done ordering from here.
Best grilled chicken 🐓 fast service good people.
Ruined our game night! We ordered from Chirping Chicken for the big game. Our food never showed up. We called numerous times and numerous times were lied to by the woman that answered the phone. Each time she said our food had already left and would be there shortly. BS. More than an hour after the delivery window closed we canceled with seamless. Needless to say since our food had in fact not left the restaurant by this time it never arrived. I understand restaurant logistics and there are a hundred things that could go wrong. Don’t lie to your customers, you know better!order #63991426-9033034
Employees cares much about customers and burger tastes great. Was crowded, people seemed to me happy to eat here.
Great menu and fresh food for moderately priced fastish fresh lunch.
After touring the museum, we were hungry and everywhere we went had a wait due to COVID restrictions. We came upon Chirping Chicken and their extensive menu. Very friendly staff, quick eats makes this place one to bookmark.
The food here is amazing and the prices are great! Most importantly, the workers here are extremely sweet, kind and generous. I will definitely be back when I visit NYC again!
My favorite place for eat amazing🤩🤩😍🤩😍 chicken in NYC. Best of the best! ✨✨✨✨✨
Forget all the other chicken chain restaurants. The best chicken in Manhattan is Chirping Chicken. They marinate chicken perfectly and the breast turns out wonderfully tasty. Great flavor!!
The best NY steak sandwich I every had! The freshest ingredients, awesome staff and corner deli atmosphere!🙂🎃
Perfect place for happy hours! Went here for drinks during my birthday week and absolutely loved it. The view is amazing and it feels like you’re on a boat. The food options aren’t too bad. It gets pretty crowded and music is lit. Going back again soon!
I honestly love chirping chicken, their chicken is 5 stars OUTSTANDING! however this past weekend I ordered food for my employees online. 1 hour later it never showed up. I called and they said delivery guy is on the way, 30 mins later no one showed up.I called back and they said he is 10 mins away. 20 mins later no one showed up and I called them back and they said apparently there is an issue with their online order, but he will take care of it. Whole hour later no one showed up, I called to cancel the order and the gentlemen said he’s almost there and rudely hung up. Food is great but customer service! come on guys. Ordered at 12:45pm, food arrived at 3pm.
Food was pretty good and decently priced as well. Fries were outstanding and if youre looking for a good tzatziki sauce this is where youll find it. Of course the chicken was good, its a chicken place! I would definitely eat here again. Just deducted a star due to the bathrooms being in poor condition.
Ate lunch there today and it was great! The half white meat chicken was so moist and the seasoning was superb. Also had the red beans as my side and it was the best Ive ever eaten. Very good food at an incredibly affordable price for the west side of Manhattan. Highly recommend it!
Great burgers, rotisserie chicken and sides. Very causal, picnic-table style indoor seating. No wait staff so be prepared to speak up to the counter staff or get your own napkins and extras. Only con: too expensive for this kind of American/Greek diner style food. Worth trying tho and decide for yourself. Excellent food all around.
I love chirping chicken. This is my go-to when I cant decide what I want to eat. Whether youre getting the roasted chicken or chicken shawarma, you wont be disappointed. I mostly get them to go, but on a few times I ate in staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is very lively, lots of happy people.
Very bad service. Our order came late and cold. The excuse for the delay after we call was we are very busy. When asked the same question to the delivery guy he said I just got your order. We plan never order again.
This place was BUSY! But ordering was quick and efficient and food came out quickly. The place itself was busy and the delivery service was hopping! Bike delivery was constantly in and out.The food was good and not expensive. $20 for 1/2 chicken dinner with rice and beans as side (comes with salad as well) and a side of fries. Chicken was moist, juicy and tasty. Rice and beans were good. Fries were fried perfectly.Great dinner and Id return.
This outpost is excellent! The managers and their staff are efficient and fast. They keep the place clean, making sure all the table are clean once customers are finished. And the chicken is perfect and reasonable! Enjoy!
I rarely write reviews on Google, but this needs to be heard. I am very disappointed with the overall quality and customer service I received from this restaurant. I came in with two girls, my girlfriend and her sister. They ordered their food and the cashier was pleasant and overly anxious to help both of them. He also gave them both drinks for free of charge with their meals. There was a bit of confusion with what came with one of their meals and they gladly replaced it for free. Both of their orders came out within 5-6 minutes and they enjoyed the food a lot. I ordered my food and was not greeted with any pleasantries or respect, which is odd since I just watched it take place. After this my food took 17+ minutes to come out and the guy was completely unapologetic. My food quality was terrible, they didnt even cut my chicken into pieces! I complained to my company with me and they didnt think anything of it until they tasted my food. Both agreed the quality of my food was completely and totally different. I have no idea why I received poor quality in both customer service and food. I could go on more but I will just stop now and let you know that this was a disappointing experience and I will not be returning. So in short, if you are a female you may enjoy this restaurant! If not...good luck!
Clean and well situated in Planetarium Plaza in NYC. It definitely gives Chick-fil-a competition! Chicken sandwich and fries were crispy and firm! Dito!
Great location, good food. The prices have gone up since I last went. This location does not do or have any lunch specials and so is a bit more pricey than most. When I ordered the dark meat chicken I got mostly tail meat, bones and fat- I was slightly underwhelmed. The flavor however is great and the sauces they have are really good.
I went here and the place is pretty generic. Nothing really sets it apart from other places with the same scheme. The food is good and alright but the amount of food that I can get somewhere else for a lesser price makes it not worth it. Its a good eat if you need food right now and is alright with the quality. High-key, Ive had better.
A true New York local experience. Dining inside allows you a front row seat to the action. This includes a hustling kitchen staff pushing out hundreds of orders per night for take-out, eat-in or delivered on one of many bikes.Food is always hot, fresh and plentiful. Great for holidays, lunch in the park or a late night pick me up. Variety and portions keep me coming back.
This is a great quick place to grab dinner. The food was excellent for the price and the service was great too. I had the Chicken Sandwich on Pita and was extremely happy with it. The kids menu was standard kid food, my daughter was pleased with it. If you dont mind paper plates and food served on trays this is the place for you. I will definitely be back.
The chicken is fantastic. It’s charbroiled, juicy, and the 3 sauces all go great with it.The sides are very meh. I had the salad and sweet potato.Come for the chicken, ignore the sides.Update: the sweet potato is so bad that I had to gnaw on a chicken bone to leave with a good taste in my mouth. Keeping it at 4 stars though, because the chicken is *that* good.
They were out of their yummy rotisserie / grill style chicken so I had wings. Either way this is a favorite spot to grab decent priced lunch.
A wonderful place to eat with multiple locations. For $12 i got 4 ribs, salad, pita bread, and mac and cheese! What a steal. So delicious and has a mix of kinds of food. Best honey Mustard i have ever tasted.
After spending a majority of walking my wife, sister and I stopped at chirping chicken. For 28 bucks we got a whole chicken with mashed potatoes and fries. It was a good amount of food for the price, definitely enough to feed all three of us. Cant complain at all food was good, price was good and service was good as well.
This outpost is excellent! The managers and their staff are efficient and fast. They keep the place clean, making sure all the table are clean once customers are finished. And the chicken is perfect and reasonable! Enjoy!
Felt nice and local-ish. The waitress was also very helpful with selecting something for me
Perfect for lunch and late night snack! Been several times and not once did they get our order wrong. The food is great. Wings, chicken, ribs....all good. Also liked the potato salad a lot. Check out this place for a fresh fast meal!
Food was amazing, got the whole chicken special with 2 sides. Plenty of food for 2 people.
Nice lamb gyros/kebap with Greek salad and feta cheese. Tends to get busy around lunch and getting a table may be challenging. First order then sit😉 The menu on the wall could do with an update, coz its not very user friendly. All in all, great place for quick bite.
The food had sort of a Greek tinge to it. It was good. Chicken came like a euro. You order at the counter then go find a seat and they bring your food out to you. Service was excellent. Even though they made a mistake, when I went in to pay for the soda with a left off of our order they wouldnt take my money and said it was on the house. Very quick, too.
Great chicken restaurant! Tried the burrito bowl with chicken breast + the 1/2 chicken meal with two sides. I picked the rice + beans and fries. Overall, there was great portions, fair price, and amazing taste.
Recently there with 2 friends. I placed my order first, however, my friends ordered after me and received their orders within 5 minutes. I spoke to a guy and girl who worked behind the counter 3 times about the delayed order. Finally received my simple order of a chicken sandwich and a coke after waiting for 20 minutes. They did not apologize for the long wait. They lost a customer as I do not intend to eat there again.
Whole chicken os the best choice, we liked a lot.
Went here late one night while on vacation. Im a vegetarian, so I didnt get any chicken. My cousin said it was really good. I got some plantains and mac n cheese. The plantains had a char on the outside that I really liked.The employees were really nice and gave great service.
Im not into bone in chicken but my brother is, and he had eaten there already. I did have the shawarma that was fresh tasting and not dry like some of them can be. It was a good place to eat for a reasonable price in NYC. I would eat there again.
My husband and I went here for lunch. My husband had the steak sandwich. He absolutely loved it. I, unfortunately, couldnt have anything to eat here because they do not have any GF options besides a salad. He ended up getting his sandwich to go so I could get something I could eat. After he ate his sandwich, he would not stop talking about how good it was. So, the 4 star rating is not from me, but from my husband.
Stopped in for dinner before heading to Beacon Theater for a show. Staff was friendly, restaurant was busy, but we found a table. Food was very good and reasonable. Would recommend this place with good healthy food at a reasonable cost. Plan to return for more meals.
The food was amazing! I had the chicken gyro which was the best Ive had, hubby had the half chicken plate... mac and cheese is delicious! Chicken is perfectly cooked and juicy! A must go if youre looking for something other than the usual burger or burrito.
The service is very good. The food came out very fast, but maybe thats a part of the problem. It was just dry and boring. Had trouble finishing my plate without a lot of sauce on the side and a soda. I probably wont come back.
Best rotisserie chicken in town hands down. Consistently delicious grilled chicken. Fast and friendly service for takeout or dining in or delivery. The sides are not as exciting as the chicken but decent. Greek salad is an absolute favorite and a very tasty side dish to have with the healthy rotisserie chicken. Their pita bread is delicious also.
Was looking for a quick place to grab a bite to eat and ordered from the Chirping Chicken via the Yelp app. I ordered a 1/4 chicken dinner and walked over about 15 minutes after placing the order. My order was not yet ready, but once I got it the owner apologized and said he gave me a 1/2 chicken instead and said I could grab a free drink. Score!The 1/2 chicken was delicious. So juicy and well seasoned. It was a massive portion and it lasted me for two days. The dinner came with a very small salad, pita and a choice of side. Although I wanted mashed potatoes, they were out so I got the mac and cheese instead. I would skip the mac and cheese next time. It was just too watery and tasted a bit like those Kraft mac packages, but the chicken more than made up for the meh side. Id suggest choosing something aside from the mac and cheese, but the chicken is solid and delicious.
Ive been eating their broiled chicken about once a week for 35 years. Marinated in flavor (not hot - Greek and tasty). Ask for it well done so the skin is crispy. Lots of other options and side dishes, but hey, its name is Chirping Chicken for a reason!
Awesome place for a quite bite with the family. In their menu, the chicken is the obvious star, but they have burgers, steak sandwiches, gyros and so much more! Prices are quite low, but its a fast food oriented place, so it makes sense. Food is extraordinary tho! Try it, you wont regret it.
Perfect quick lunch spot! There is a lot of variety of good foods, like samdwiches, burrito bowls, soup, salad, and a huge variety of sides. All tasty and with large portions for the price. Great when you need to stop somewhere fast and cant pick a specific cuisine.
If you are in the area for entertainment and need to eat so you can sleep all the excitement off from your outing - then this is where you want to go!!! We had a whole chicken, half baby ribs, black beans and brown rice. Let me say out of this world delicious. The chicken - moist and flavorful, the ribs done just right and the BBq sauce is tasty too. Get you some !!
Obviously great chicken is served here. Grilled chicken seems to be the most popular item on the menu. On a recent visit they now serve chicken bowls very much like Chipotle. I got the Chicken Tinga bowl and can I tell you that it blew my mind....Super Delicious!
If you enjoy fresh and fast chicken (and other) dishes, this is the place to go to. While they focus in chicken, including broiled whole, half and quarter as well as nuggets and wings, they also serve baby back ribs, seafood and hamburgers. Usually adequate seating if you want to eat in. Food always tastes very fresh and has great flavor. My absolute favorite is the Chicken Gyro!
I have eating chicken here for the past two years and I will say that this place has been going downhill, the quality of the chicken tenders are horrible. Chicken is getting gummier and gummier and rubbery, I dont know if they changed vendors but the chicken there is not edible as it used to be, i guess they are cutting corners and saving money. Pita bread taste like it came from a supermarket bag, doesnt have that fresh taste or feel. Again there food is overpriced to its maximum and the staff forget about it worst of the worst!
Although the spicy buffalo chicken wings from the Goodies part of the menu arent really buffalo wings, nor really that spicy for that matter, they still taste really good. If you have a craving for chicken this is definitely the spot, and at the price of $5.99 for a half roasted chicken its a good deal as well. This place probably does most of its business takeout -- if you sit there you dont really get great service, but I guess its what you pay for.
Delicious chicken. I always buy the chicken meal with sweet potato and a salad. They have decent amount of seating but it always gets packed on weekends because the food is great and inexpensive. They also have outdoor seating which is perfect for the summer weather.
If I can put a zero star for the chirping chicken on Amsterdam who have poor phone etiquette. I cancelled my order because they guy hung up on me as I was trying to tell him I am paying with visa. Food is great but the staff are not professional at all.
Open late and consistent. Ill usually get something with grilled chicken like the burrito bowl. They dont have shredded cheese so if you ask for it then expect to get a slice of cheese on top. The cooked food is fresh and cooked to order, not sure about desert items.
I am a big fan of Chirping Chicken! Food always tastes fresh, the menu has plenty of options. My favorite is the chicken thigh burrito bowl! You will enjoy your meal.
Always making mistakes with delivery ordersGyros they forget the sauce. Salad they put the dressing when you tell them not too.You ask for water they give you soda. You ask for ginger ale they give you coke.
Great place for beer and wings!! Grabbed a quick brew and wings after a show at the Beacon theatre. Wasnt able to order from table outside. Orders at the register only.. sat for a while before we realized... Waitresses only serve. Other than that good eats
Food was very good and price was reasonable. Highly recommend Chirping Chicken.
Great food love the place.
I have supported many many pollo al la brasa restaurants on the east coast and west coast and in between. You will have a better meal with a $6 rotisserie from Safeway and a BIC lighter. This chicken is here is very very dry, beyond dry, careless, only flavor is “burnt”, pita is cheap and bland. Very Expensive overpriced for what you get. If you have even slightest clue what chicken is, this is not it, keep looking.
This place is awesome; you can get a 1/4 chicken lunch plate for like $7. How the hell they do that on the Upper West Side is beyond me but its a crazy bargain.And even more importantly, the chicken is DELICIOUS. I have to walk a half-mile to get here from work but its worth it.
If you are on the upper west side you MUST (I mean it) YOU MUST stop by this spot and get an entire rotisserie chicken. I insist! The chicken is flavored and grilled to perfection! The sides are amaze too! Mashed potatoes with yummy gravy, french fries, mac and cheese....the list goes on and on! Reasonably priced and I promise you will have left overs for tomorrow!
Go to spot for grilled chicken. Their chicken soup gets me through winter. Amazingly fast delivery, Seamless says 55 minutes, they’re there in 35.
Dont get me wrong we love chirping chicken. Order it about 1-2 times a week. But it seems like every month the prices go up. Would understand it if was every year. But maybe its not that. Have been buying for 12 years since I been working in the area. Always called until i learned about seamless or ordering directly from their site. Not too long ago when I ordered twice in a week but ordered different ways each time the price was different.So theres a seamless price, a website price and menu price at the store/over the phone. Today ordered a One Dish meal as its called on the menu of bbq chicken thighs with a side in one dish together. Called over the phone because I know its cheaper. When it gets here I decide to compare all 3. Menu price was $12.00 but for some reason on the receipt was $12.75, the seamless price was $15.25 and the chirping chicken website was $15.00. So $3.25 more is the highest if you ordered on seamless. The real kicker is the burrito bowls. Calling/pick up price is $14.00 for chicken breast one, $17.00 on their site and $17.50 on seamless!!!! Like what is the difference? They cant say our because we pay a fee towards the sites because theres many other places that prices are the same and if anything they charge a $2.50 fee on seamless also even when you call in theres a delivery charge of $1.50 that the delivery guys say they get no part of. So again Im sitting here enjoying my lunch from chirping because the food is good. But just watch how you order. Call the food in and just use your card online. Unless you dont mine paying almost $4.00 extra for no reason at all and like i said with the extra fees almost $7.00 because theres that $2.50 charge from seamless on top of the higher price. Just so you can see this review is actually true in putting the pics of the prices. Chirping you really should think about doing the right thing for your customers.
Great food. However, not all but some of the staff their need to drop the attitude. They seem to cater hand and foot to some while others are totally ignored. And be careful of those delivery guys on their bikes, total disregard for pedestrians. You either lose a toe or get blinded by those flashing lights.
Was ok... the potato salad was pretty gross.. prices were fair for the neighborhood. The chickken was cooked well- nice and juicy- but not seadoned well. Turkey burgers were fresh out of a frozen box i am guessing... fast food not too fattening not too expensive. Good for what it is.
They have a bathroom. It takes a lot of chewing to eat this food but it is pretty good. Maybe I need to eat less meat in my diet I was thinking, and less French fries. There is a chopt salad place on this same block. You have to share tables when you eat at chirping chicken and a stranger looked at me while I ate. The hot sauce wasnt that spicy.
Actually Id rate this place a 3.5. The staff was amazing and the place was clean. They have a lot of options but not everything on the menu is available. The food is decent especially since its fast food
Chirping Chicken is an UWS mainstay for a great reliable chicken based lunch or dinner.Food is always consistently fast, fresh and delicious.Tommy leads the team with friendly service and youll always find an owner chipping in and ensuring quality control.Besides Chicken you can get a a burger or ribs with all of the sides better than the next.One of their secret gems. Turkey burger with cheese. Theyll even deepfry the red onions. Order deluxe and get huge portion of fries .One of the best in the city.Your go to for cheap eats
We came to this place with no high expectations with the whole family. The food was very good. A few of us had the chicken and rice which is an abundant option and very tasty. For the price, it is a great outing.
Great place for burgers, fries, gyros(platters too) and amazing chicken. Just try to get there and wait if your planning to sit down just because everybody wants food from here!
They have drastically bumped up their prices in the past 5 years. I remember when it was on the opposite side of the street (15 years ago) and the gyros were a very good deal. Now its a joke.
Pretty much an upper west side institution for locals and deservedly so. Ive been eating here for 25 years and cant think of a better place to get a more delicious reasonably priced family meal.
My husband is the biggest fan of Chirping Chicken. Once you get past the grungy, run-down look of the place, you will find that the food is actually quite tasty. They are obviously best known for their roasted chicken but the true star is the Turkey Burger. The food is quality, they offer generous portions, an ample of amount of healthy and non-healthy sides, and best of all its CHEAP. A quarter of chicken with a salad, pita, side, and soda came to only $8. Keep your eyes peeled, you may even spot a local celebrity journalist who frequents the joint.
Churping Chicken is awesome. They have a fairly large menu that offers chicken, seafood, ribs, salads, Greek specialties like lamb gyros and souvlaki, Mexican specialties like burritos. Sides include dishes such as corn on and off the cob, mashed potatos, rice, mac and cheese, beans and fries. It can be busy around lunch time but they move fast so the wait to order and get your food usually is not that long (less than 10 mins depending on what you ordered). I havent tried their desserts yet. But they look delicious as well. If you can make it there, they do have a delivery service.
I am always happy to eat there because they have the best choice for me to order. This was the whole miniribs order and were delicious. Thanks again for all your work on this tonight.
I have been going here for many years. The owners and staff are amazing and the food is always fresh and very good. I would highly recommend this place as a great place to have tasty, clean, healthy food.
My favorite place on the upper west side. I order from them twice a week. Quarter chicken quarter ribs with fries (or sweet plantains) is my favorite! Comes with a pretty good salad and pita bread as well.
Good food, chicken,rice and beans with salad my go to, very busy, family friendly, nice staff
I tried the caesar chicken salad wrap; it was delicious. It was quick to buy, and you can pay cash or card. The employees are very cordial, friendly and the line was small. I went to the one located in Concourse, Grand Central.
I decided try this place since my friend recommended it as a good option for a quick bite. I thought it would be a good way to switch things up. The chicken is good and so is the pita bread. The sides are a little hit or miss though - the mashed potato side was pretty bland.
Cool place for lunch. You can take a seat outside, if its sunny. It is normally crowded, so you might have to wait for a while for your order. Try the gyro and fries, they are delicious.
So I tried the the 1/2 chicken w the ff , Im not sure what spices they inject into their chicken but it was delicious! It came with some pita bread & a salad . Fresh food great service friendly staff & big portions. A+
Great tasting chicken. I visited on the recommendation of a coworker and it was definitely worthwhile. This was a quick order to go, hoping to come back soon and eat in.
I order takeout from here a decent amount. The chicken is ridiculously good. The vegetables are pretty average, at least by the time they get to my home. Still worth a visit to see if its up your street
One of my favorite places to eat. There are about 4 or 5 in the city. I always get the same thing, grilled chicken sandwich, (2 good size grilled chicken breasts on grilled pita bread, lettuce, tomato, pickle, tzatziki and hot sauce on the side) so i cant vouch fot their other food.
Good meal for the price. Food is fresh and tasty. However, you have to be flexible in terms of the seating. Most likely you will have to share a table with people who you do not know.
Easily some of the worst chicken Ive ever eaten. Their chicken tenders are more like wilted chicken cutlets and their French fries were soggy and greasy. Their employees seem rushed and distracted and the environment there is uncomfortable. Go somewhere else.
Coming from Florida, where we have Pollo Tropical, and having visited the West Coast where El Pollo Loco holds reign, cheap but quick chicken dishes are always something that end up being a crave whenever I travel...in come in Chirping Chicken. A very expansive menu, it was definitely difficult making a choice in what to get. Stuck to chicken tenders and fries, and even those were better than your run of the mill tenders and fries at other places. They have chicken chops, burgers, salads, and amazingly delicious sides such as mac & cheese. Heard they deliver as well, as I saw tons of delivery guys on bikes funneling in and out. It isnt a high end place on the eyes, but the quality and service is pretty good. Cant deny that.
Great spot for teenagers to hang out and eat. Great chicken fingers and fries. My 3 year old also likes it. Good service and clean place!
Generous portions and affordable pricing for the UWS. My go-to are their BBQ chicken thighs with rice and beans-- soooo much food and sooo delicious, I usually have to enlist a friends help to stop me gobbling the whole plate down. Quick and friendly besides!
Very nice atmosphere and friendly employees. The menu is really great with pretty big portions. Will come back someday.
Delivered hot and delicious ! I may never cook my own chicken again. Generous portions we have plenty for leftovers. Great experience.
Fast casual restaurant in NYC. This is the best chicken spot in all of Manhattan. Better than Dirty Bird. The only thing is that it is a bit pricey. Certainly reflects the pockets of the UES & UWS clientele.
Great chicken spot on da upper westside recommend the grilled chicken strips with french fries and salad it comes with cant forget a drink 😊will be back soon thanks chirping chicken👊
Still great after all these years!OMG. I haven't had Chirping Chicken in over twenty years. I took a chance and placed an order online, and I was happy too see that although I was 16 blocks out of their delivery zone they not only delivered my order quickly (15 minutes) the food was still HOT and delicious just like I remembered. Oh I love the pita bread and the bbq sauce. Chirping Chicken has earned them a place in my take out/delivery folder.
This place is awesome. The food was very delicious. Service is fast. Stuff is friendly. Huge portions. They brewed fresh coffee in front of me. Amazing place.
I ordered today at 9:12pm, simple order, half a chicken and an ice tea. They called to confirm my address at 10pm. Still waiting. Im a block away.
Chirping chicken has new stores with expensive new prices, and high delivery fees! Both my sons fell in love with the Chirping Chicken on 77th to my amazement, considering they had such devotion for the Shake Shack. We religiously ordered the delicious items from Chirpings vast menu, delighted every time. Then there was a new store opening closer to us --106th. We use seamless web often, and used to enjoy the old Chirping Chickens tasty tidbits until we were only able to order from the store closer to us. We were completely happy to hear there was a Chirping Chicken closer to our neighborhood, before we realized the prices and fees were going to be so high.To be fair, whenever we have had problems with Chirping Chicken, they have been very polite and generous with making up for their mistakes. However, my boys and I must now move on to find more affordable cuisine from food delivery sites. We will order from time to time, but not regularly anymore.We will miss you Chirping Chicken!
Had the chicken sandwich and fries filled a separate plate, no drink, total was $12 something. Fries were good, sandwich was a large pita with ziki sauce and was great. A lot of food for the price.
Awesome Awesome Food!! Service was great and the atmosphere was cool.The place is a bit small. But the people are nice and friendly. Definitely would recommend!
Good fresh food. The gyros are delicious.
Great prices and portions, chicken was very juicy & had good flavor, but I wouldnt say this is a must go to place in New York. Quick service, friendly staff; I would recommend, if local.
Hands down, the best chicken ever! Amazing charcoal-flavoured chicken and really great deals on meals in an area that can be very pricey. I highly recommend this place.
They used to be much better. On this visit the chicken was awful, tasted reheated and old. I had all dark meat, yet it was dry. They were out of whole wheat pita.
Decent chicken at affordable prices.Nothing really special about this eatery worth mentioning and the staff did not seem well versed on the menu items; when I had questions for two different staff members, they told me that they did not know.Didnt hate it, didnt love it.
Lovely place for a quick bitr the whole menu is on point. Its my go to place for a quick bite they have delicious food with a healthy twist to it. Must try!
Best Grilled Wings in the city. Very nice Greek salad with lots of different veggies and stuffed grape leafs. Yummy. Not that expensive for Manhattan.
Love this spot. The chicken is delicious, sides are great, and service quick. Highly recommend.
What do you expect from a cupcake stand in a train station? Not much, right? Well youd be wrong as the vanilla cupcakes are frankly, some of the best (if not the best) cupcakes Ive ever had. Light, airy and yet full of flavour and the frosting equally so (although not so light as to have been overwhipped). So often cupcake shops call a cake vanilla when they actually mean plain as in no flavour at all. But this isnt the case at Magnolias.Ive never had Banana Pudding before but this was crazy good. Its just a shame that we only ended up with a small as I think I could have eaten a large one by myself. Ok, so I would have been useless for walking around afterwards but I would have been happy. The only downside to the place is that its in New York City and Im back in London, so I cant try their range of amazing looking layer cakes or any of their other goodies.Dammit Magnolia, open up across the pond and show all these naff British imitators what a real cupcake looks and tastes like!!
This place was awesome. We stumbled upon it by mistake in search of food. The food was excellent. Perfect blend of spices and generous portions.
Good chicken, hamburger and gyros. I have been in this place three times trying different plates and all of them were very good. I recommend the chicken (ask for for having it well done) charcoaled
Crowded. Good food. My husband are the food ..I had the sweet potato fries. Liked them. Love this location.
Try the turkey burger. Good food at a fair price. The menu is large and appealing to both young and old tastes. The outdoor seating is a nice addition.
Ah..the best food EVER - chicken in every form and burgers are great as well. If you get a platter portion..BEWARE...its big :)
Who loves chicken? WE all do but come on - fix up the place. The deliveries are great. Perhaps improve your drink menu. Cheers,
As expected nice environment and good and healthy food
My favorite place to eat in NYC. Take the chicken stripes! Never failed me. Been eating here for 12 years. Always fresh and tasty.
Delicious chicken tenders, fries, hummus, grilled chicken salad & pita. Consistent and reliable.
The food is unsalted, it is not fast and the manager is a person no one would like to be in his shoes for having to deal with a terrible team, the waitress is an exception, attentive and friendly, the environment is apparently clean and pleasant
Ive been going here for as long as I could remember, the food here is pretty good sometimes, but sometimes it all just tastes the same.... Its also a bit pricey
Friday dinner rush was insane so we waited over 25 minutes for take out but I have to say it was worth the wait. It was the freshest grilled chicken I had ever had!
This place has a huge amount of people coming in its super busy but the food is worth the wait and the service is incredible this place is so popular around 12 and 3 that the lines reach the door and outside but if you place your order in advance you can skip most of the line but still have to work your way around everyone to get it.
Simple but good food. Tastes great, large portions. Service was fast and nice. Price is on par with everything else.
I ordered a Sandwich that costs 9.00 dollars on the chirping chicken web site, and when the delivery boy came to deliver it, the bill charged almost 18 dollars plus $1.50 in delivery charges. This is a ripoff!!
Not the biggest fan of the ribs but overall food was decent for the location
Best place for grilled chicken and their garden salad is so fresh you can smell the freshness... their wine selection is on point and they open late after midnight - I recommend this place
Good chicken. Atmosphere is a little claustrophobic but roll with the punches and I dont think you will be disappointed.
The ribs werent as spicy as I would have liked them...fries were good and my son loved the chicken nuggets
Great food great service and my favorite work always there to serve me
I LOVEEEE the chicken here. Get a whole chicken, I dare you. You wont be sorry!!But if you think this whole chicken thing is an unrealistic endeavor, then at least get the chicken shawarma sandwich. So moist and delish!!
Has great chirping chicken food and the staff is very helpful. Deliveries are consistently smooth. Great addition to the UWS.
Love Love Love. Great food, always hot and fresh. The best customer service Ive had my entire NYC visit!!!! Definitely chat with Mike or Alondra if given the opportunity!😊
Order from them a lot and they are consistent. My favorite is the Mexican bowl or their chicken souvlaki platter. Turkey burgers arent the best.
Thumbs up to this super fast, no frills healthy chicken spot. The place is typically packed, so takeout is usually the best option if you’re not looking to deal with a crowd.
This place is great. Great high quality fresh food, good service and a great atmosphere in and out of the place in a very nice convenient for everything location.
Waited 25 minutes for a crap hamburger. Seriously, who serves a hamburger to a hungry Australian bloke with nothing more than a tired meat pattie and NOTHING ELSE? If this experience is what to expect from NYC food outlets then I wont hurry back here. Avoid this sh%*hole at all costs.
Food was well cook rice is salt but everything else is ok
I go here when I want a REAL barbecue grilled chicken sandwich! The bomb!!
The chicken was great but the failed to put their special sauce and one of the salads Id asked for in the bag. Disappointed.
Guys you are one of the best in NYC.Just one very important thing, the materials you used to serve your product are super bad for our planet. double plastic bag, Styrofoam, spoons, forks, knifes made of plastic. all those materials last for centuries on our landfills, oceans, streets, everywhere. We must act differently because our future generations.Please! Do something about it ASAP. Thanks.
No frills but absolutely the best chicken in the city. The staff works at a frenetic pace but dishes out great food at reasonable prices.
Good food, wide variety. Tasty. But it is always busy. The food is skimpy in terms of portions. Long wait.
Great deals and tasty food, BBQ chicken thighs perfectly and side of Mac n Cheese is perfect for the young ones in your party
Worth every pound I put on!! The 1/4 chicken and 1/4 rib with pita and 🍟
Excellent rotisserie chicken, with great comfort food sides. No frills. Wish they had better sauces.

2022-07-02The good:*Some of the best rotisserie chicken youll get anywhere. Tender, moist, well-seasoned and very flavorful*Generous portions at reasonable pricesThe bad:*They run out of things. In multiple visits, several sides and sauces were gone (so maybe go early?)*The fries could definitely be better*The place has all the warmth and atmosphere of a bus station.Great choice for a picnic in the park on a nice day, or takeout and enjoy it at home.

2022-05-03Nice spot for lunch. If you’re looking for good and satisfying meal after a walk in the UWS this is the place to be. They have lunch combo which comes with your choice of sides. I love their chicken! Nice and tender! Really good!

2021-09-23Loved Chirping Chicken, menu has a huge variety, from rotisserie chicken to burgers and arroz con pollo, so there’s something for everyone! We had the special they have going on of a whole chicken and two sides for $20 but everything else looked delicious too! I’m definitely trying their chicken tenders next time. Quick, affordable and casual spot for a bite. Love that they have outdoor seating too.

2022-05-14The covid-19 hit the place:- Became more expenssive.- Less ingridients in the portions (even more expensive...).- Not clean.- They save money on A/C. It feelsunfresh and no ventilation.- Toilets are not touched and takencare of + no hand soap.- I give it 3 stars for old times,when Jimmy the owner wastaking care for his business.

2022-04-23Ive been to all Chirping Chicken locations in Manhattan, but this one is the best. Ive been visiting this place for over 20 years, even before they moved to the current location from across the street. I absolutely love their signature grilled chicken with pita bread, coleslaw and original tomato sauce. I know it may sound weird but even their Pepsi is the best Ive had. I dont go there often but every time I visit Manhattan I have to stop by. Highly recommended!

2022-02-12I used to order from here a few times a week when I lived in UWS. Chicken, coleslaw and mashed potato… sooo tasty.
Review №9
2022-03-03Pretty underwhelming overall. Seemed like an interesting local fast good rotisserie chicken place. The food was surprisingly bland given how its cooked. And given that its supposed to be fast food and not really that high quality, it was surprisingly expensive for a lunch. You can get much better food for cheaper elsewhere nearby.

2022-07-01A plethora of choices on the menu. The smell of delicious food smacks you right in the face when you walk through the door. I had an amazing grilled Chicken Ceasar salad. I got a large and it was huge. Prices are also very reasonable.
