Now with online ordering through the Yelp app?! PRAISE CHICKEN LOVERS! Ever since word got around that Chicken Lover is good eating, ordering at the counter has become a dreadful experience. 15 minute waits become backed up to 30 minutes because the customers just keep filing in. Seating is scarce with the new influx of customers too...BUT FEAR NOT! The green sauce is still fantastically fresh and delicious, superbly grilled chicken, and the sides....hnnNngGggg. The ribs are hit or miss depending on which section of the ribs you get. The tail-end is a bit tougher to chew but whatever, this place is for chicken lovers. In summary: Online ordering and consistently mouth-watering food means you will make a habit of Chicken Lover.

Best chicken and ribs you will find. I tend to dislike BBQ sauce but this place nails it. Decent portions at a fair price too. Forget the fancy chic decor and white gloved service because this is not the spot to impress your dates. While the staff are friendly and professional with tables to eat in, this place shines brightly simply for their food. If you like ribs and chicken, you will be splendidly satisfied. Grab a family meal deal and some extras off the menu and take it back home to enjoy some good ole comfort food in the comforts of your home. I have hooked many skeptics onto this joint. This dive makes the grade.

Our office frequently orders lunch from this restaurant. The chicken is delicious with the yummy sauce. Get extra. Salads are good. There is a large selection of side dishes. Mac n cheese, salad, potatoes..all good. Lunch specials include the chicken, which is marinated in assorted juices and spices...alllll yummy, ribs, wings, fish, and more. Lunch is around $8 including your choice of entree, fries, and a drink. Good value. The chicken gyro are good, as well as the regular gyro (lamb). There is a good selection of main entrees: burgers, fish, lamb, steak. Prices are very moderate. The service is great.

Food is Mouth Watering! Service is sub par with exception of Little Indian girl at register. Call ahead of time as they are relatively busy all the time. Price is extremely reasonable and I hope it stays that way. I drive a long way to go there as the food is that good! I have sent them scores of people who are regular customers there. I hope this helps. Their best item is hands down the "HOT WINGS" !!!

This has got to be the best chicken Ive had in a long time. Ill never go to Popeyes, kfc and Boston market ever again. The price was well worth it. I payed 21.75 for one whole chicken with three sides. The sides were good but need some improvement. The Mac and cheese is on point if you get it when its freshly made. I highly recommend this place if your in the mood for so great grilled chicken

The wait time is a bit long but I dont mind the wait as long as they keep making the food delicious. I have no idea what these turds are complaining about. The workers and owner have been nothing but pleasant. If you dont want to wait, call ahead retard. If you want your food fast go to kfc. Dont make this place rush out their orders. Chicken 9/10 Ribs 9/10 Sides 7/10

This grade is just based on service. The food is delicious. However, the servers are rude and unorganized. They usually take close to 25-60 minutes to complete an order and dont seem to care about wasting peoples time. Im not even going to start in on their delivery. Thats another bad review to be made at a later time. Bottom line, food is great, service is horrible.

Great flavor chicken and bbq ribs. Friendly attention and a nice variety of side dishes. To bad it takes a bit to long to be served specially during rush hr. but it is understandable because their food so sooooo very tasty. Prices are fear and they always have a smile. Better to order by phone and with at list 45 min advance.

We ordered delivery. The lady taking our order gave us the wrong price. When the delivery boy came we did not have enough money. Instead of working with us or checking with the manager he drove away with the food. When we went to compalin the manager was not availble. Food is good but the service is very bad.

My go to place for barbecue. Their chicken and ribs are outstanding. The sides are pretty good with the Mac and cheese being the standout. The waits are always long due to the popularity, so only order online and pick it up about 45 minutes later. It will save you from standing around and waiting for your meal.

The food here is absolutely delicious. If you can be patient then you will be well rewarded. My suggestion is to call ahead for the food. Well served as a selection of grilled chicken half or full and grilled rack of lamb half or full wide selection of sides. Bryan Van Huele / Bayside resident 56 yesrs

I cannot get enough of this place. Some of the guys behind the counter can be rude but honestly I dont care. The ribs. The chicken. The green sauce!!!! My goodness. The wait can be long but Angelo knows how to cook those chickens. The owner is a sweetheart. I try to come here at least once a week.

Best ribs and chicken in the area! Get yourself a whole rack and whole chicken + some sides and you can feed a large group. The owners here are really friendly and it looks like there are a lot more workers to handle the workload because this place is really popular during lunch and dinner hours.

I love the chicken and ribs here, but I absolutely hate the service. Placing an order is literally one of the most frustrating experiences. Busy signals, irregular hours, long wait times, and sometimes no one picks up the phone at all. Its a shame because their food is so damn good.

Theres no other place in the nearby area that grills chicken like the way they do. Comes out seasoned well and juicy; its never dry. The ribs are also a great meal. It comes right off the bone! They are generous with their sides, and their green sauce is otherworldly.

I appreciate that they make your order right away so everything is fresh. They have really great salads and of course fried chicken. The crisp crunch is really good! The seating area is very small but there are cute seats/cushions for a quick sit down snack.

The food in this place is amazing! The prices are great and the portions are huge. One down side is when they get busy the wait time can be really long. Sometimes when they are really busy they run out of food and have to close early.

Been going here for 6 years now. Some of the tastiest ribs you can find...anywhere really. Theyve gotten really popular so the wait may be really long and youll be ANGRY until you start eating dem ribs and all is forgiven!!
