Slappin Chick - Astoria

FOOD: I thought the menu was rather funny. They had the same product over and over in different ways for example, you can order the chicken & waffles or the chicken and waffle sandwich. Nothing wrong with this ( in fact I respect the hustle) but at the end of the day they serve chicken and they do it well! I personally tried the tenders with their original spicy seasoning as well as tenders with Lemmon Pepper. Both flavors were outstanding. They had lightly seasoned fries and to my surprise bread to soak up the chicken juice…but there was no juice because it was a dry rub. SERVICE: the person who took my order was fine. Not overly kind but an average New York local on a weekday kinda service. Though I did witness the clerk taking time to clean the lobby when not taking orders. I respect a

Omg the slappin plate was amazing! Will definitely go back. I went Nov 14, 25 around 5-6pm and the customer service girl at the front was very nice just want to make sure the boss knows how great she was!! She deserves a promotion! Thank you 🙏 Update - nov 30,2025 Went back and tried the mac and cheese 🧀. It was amazing! Update - jan 2026 Finally tried the rice slappin chicken. Not my favourite of the three. Definitely the slappin chicken sandwich the best by far. The rice didnt have much rice. Wouldnt get it again. Took down from 5/5 to 4/5.

I'm not usually a fried chicken person, but this place's fried tenders, sliders, and extras are out of this world. When I first saw such a high rating with a lot of reviews, I was skeptical till I tried it and it absolutely deserves the high rating. The food looks delicious, is delicious, and they're generous with their portions. Getting a regular combo is enough for 2 meals on medium hunger or 1 meal if I'm really hungry. And their sauce is sublime, especially their new spicy sauce. My only suggestion would be to make an even spicier "hot" option, as I don't find their current one to be too spicy, however the flavor is insanely great. Though a little pricey, I think it is worth it. If it was a little cheaper, I'd be eating there much more frequently. 10/10 would recommend AND go back

The portions are HUGE on the chicken for the hot chicken Caesar salad. I felt like I had a chicken pattie and a half worth on top of the salad. Enough for 2 meals for $15! The chicken was juicy, well seasoned, and not too much breading but nice crunch. The salad also comes drizzled w slapping sauce. Salad was fresh. I overheard another patron raving about the mac and cheese. The staff working the register was super sweet and even chatting with patrons. No bathroom. Couple tables for dining in.

My mother, who lives in the area, recommended this place to us, so we decided to give it a try. We didn’t dine in, as we just wanted something quick to enjoy at home. My husband went to pick up the food while I stayed back. We ordered a two tenders plate and another meal with chicken pieces and fries. Honestly, when I first took a bite, I genuinely thought it was from Dave’s Hot Chicken—the flavor and texture were that similar! (For context, both places serve halal chicken.) The seasoning was bold and definitely on the salty side, much like most fast food joints, but still enjoyable. The portion size was generous. The chicken with fries was very filling, and we even had leftovers from the tenders to take home for later. Overall, the food was tasty and satisfying. The only downside is th
