ChickNDrip (Nashville Hot Chicken): Savor Authentic Southern Flavor in Bayside

Best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! The menu said slider so I was expecting it to be small hawaiian roll sized, but it’s like a regular burger size! And look how big the chicken is! Chicken was crispy and juicy, slaw was so delicious, and the sauce was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

The food was good but not amazing, and surprisingly, the place was empty even at dinner time. The front lounge table was so wobbly it kept sliding away, but we managed to eat there anyway!

Came for the grand opening promotion. The decor inside was nice and seating was comfortable. Took a while for the food to come out because it was packed, but someone let us know they were backed up. Food came out fresh: the fries were hot and crunchy. I’m guessing they’d get soft once they cool down, but I ate right away. The dave’s sauce went really well with the fries and I poured the rest on the slider; would recommend. The buns got a big soggy even without the extra sauce but the chicken was well cooked. I got medium spice and would for sure get it spicier than that in the future.

Update: No longer HMS verified. I will never be eating here. I’ve ordered from here a few times within the last couple of years, so you could say I’m a loyal customer. Restaurant could use some work from the inside for customers who like to dine in. It doesn’t seem like they give particular attention to the customer experience but it is fast food like Dave’s so that is to be expected. The spice levels are not on par with Sam’s Hot Chicken in Hillside which they are allegedly partners OR share recipes with (I am unsure). I wish the price wouldn’t increase practically every time I order food from here. There needs to be transparency with payment methods and tax, which other customers have brought up. Once I came during lunch time, they refused to apply the lunch time price specials which is a bummer. Please don’t advertise deals you won’t actually enact, it’s extremely disappointing. However, the food is good enough for me to keep coming back. Ordered from here last night and got the single slider but was given a single tender instead.

2 sliders, Cajun fries, and came with 2 sauces and my son full for the day. The meal is big,chicken juicy,fries so good the sauce really delicious… I tried one fries with it! Great fast food place!!

We traveled all the way from Brooklyn to give this place a try. We got their chicken sliders combo( super hot). The chicken sliders were spicy and juicy. Loved the masala fries and the dip. We also ordered tenders for takeout ( Reaper spice level) and that was pretty good too. The servers are friendly. If you love spicy chicken, surely visit.

Their food is amazing, Best hot chicken spot and so underrated, I like it more than Daves or any hot chicken spot. The service is amazing, they are generous with the sauce and not stingy. They’re also very nice. Their sauce is my favorite!!

I ate here yesterday 2025 Dec 5. Portions and flavor are good, price is decent. Pretty good for a Dave's knockoff. Spice levels run a bit hot. Their sauce is bangin. The inside is pretty barebones; I wasn't sure if they were open or not, because they don't have any signs or menus up inside. There are two menus on the counter itself. A number of reviews mentioned getting overcharged. I was not. I do want to point out that they have updated their menu prices since those reviews (see my photo), I personally paid cash so no surprise charges afterwards, and they don't have a POS system, they calculate your total with an old school calculator. I got a mac-n-chick and 2 sliders n side, $15 and $16 on the menu, it came out to $31. At least one review mentioned them losing their Halal certification. I see it in the corner of their menu, but not sure how up to date that is. I personally don't care for it. Also, I could not find their Dept of Health letter grade anywhere. While A is obviously the standard, I personally eat at B restaurants, though I have not tried a C yet. I don't know where these guys stand. The inside is barebones as I said. There are tables and booths to sit in, but there are some supplies and equipment around, like they're not quite open yet. They have no menus or signage up inside, just two handheld menus laying on the counter. The staff is very friendly, and service was quick. They have 7 spice levels (plus one no spice) just like Dave's Hot Chicken, but they run hotter than Dave's. If you know what level you like at Dave's, get one lower here. Overall, I was skeptical about this place at first because of the reviews, and the fact that it looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but the food is delicious and good value, and it's a great Dave's alternative. I love the sauce and love the spice levels. I am glad I tried it and I will certainly go back. EDIT: I noticed they have a $10 lunch special with a sandwich and fries.
