Sweet Chick

"I had recently ordered in from Sweet Chick and I have a few thoughts I thought I should share, first of all, the food here is amazing, the chicken is perfectly fried, and the sauces have the perfect balance of both sweet and spicy. I had gotten the loaded fries as well as a chicken sandwich. The loaded fries are not a threat to be taken lightly. These fries should be considered a meal on their own. These loaded fries have fries, chicken, cheesy, pickles, and a crazy amount of sauce. It was delicious, however, after finishing, you feel absolutely horrible. In my experience my stomach would not stop cramping for several hours, this is mainly due to my inability to stop eating, and the sheer amount of their hotsauce I added. However, once you try a bite, you too will understand. I would 100% do it again, this was a meal I would not forget. I also had a fried chicken sandwich. This sandwich was better than that of Chick-fil-A, Popyees, KFC, and the Boston Market. However, I would still much rather prefer the loaded fries. The loaded fries simply give you a better bang for your buck. Overall, I would 100% recommend going to Sweet Chick at least once in your life, just beware of the aftereffects."

"This place really fell off. Ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was super dry and tasted like it was fried a few times. The waffles were a bit soggy for having just come out of the kitchen. Only about 4 other tables and had to stick out my arm for about 5 full minutes to try to get someone’s attention. There were two servers but both saw me and continued to ignore me. I feel bad about saying this but Popeyes and eggo waffles would’ve been better."

"Nice little restaurant (Nas owns it) reminds me of a dinner from 1960s. Cute. We got the chicken with waffles and added Mac and cheese on the side. Order Wallace drinks. Drinks are strong. They have pick up and take out service. Happy hour after 4 till 6. Serving staff friendly. We went around 2:30 pm afternoon on a Thursday not crowded."

"I’ve been to Sweet Chick a few times, and it’s always a treat. You can get all kinds of different chicken and waffle flavor combos. Anything from a red velvet waffle, to salted caramel fried chicken. Definitely experiment, try something new, and get a side of potato salad for sure."

"My son found this place while looking for the best chicken & waffles on google a few months ago and had a good experience. I was lucky to get leftovers - a chicken strip and quarter waffle. Even cold it was yummy! Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when he said he wanted to take me to Sweet Chick on my birthday weekend. How could I refuse - chicken & waffles with my son - heck yeah! We drove over from Kew Gardens and were fortunate to park right across the street. It did not seem busy so we sat upon arriving. There are no menus. You have to scan a QR code on the table and place your order. If you want a drink not on the bar menu you can ask the bartender and they will take care of it…even add it to your table bill. The place is casual and has a nice vibe. All was well until the food arrived. We both ordered chicken & waffles with different sauces and a few sides. My son, 15, enjoyed his meal which made me happy. I did the best I could not to show I was disappointed with the plate. The waffles were sitting around a bit - soft and crushed as if sitting in a pan. The chicken strips were twice fried, hard with the crunchy outside so tough I was afraid I was going to break a tooth. Needless to say it was not a pleasant “food” experience. I ate what I could. Even the sprouts were underdone. But the fries were on target and the workers friendly. I was amazed that the food was NOT made to order. I expected a hot freshly made waffle and tender tasty chicken. It was barely warm. I really hope your dining experience is better. Could have been an off day for them. Saturday is not a good day to be off point. It might be a while before I trek back into Astoria for a trip to this Sweet Chick location but I gave an extra star because I was happy just to be out and about with my son!"
