Big boom chicken — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

TL;DR: Overcharged and underwhelmed.

Service was friendly and I was immediately greeted. The spot appears to receive a lot of foot traffic from the nearby school(s).

I ordered their chicken sandwich combo with sweet potato fries and a soda. I wanted to try their tea, but wasn’t ready to pay the $2 and bring my lunch price to $15+.

The sweet potato fries were not good at all. Had I not drizzled a generous amount of ketchup on them they would’ve ended up in the trash. They were hard and bland.

The chicken sandwich was oozing a creamy white-ish sauce that strangely provided no flavor. The crunch of the chicken was great, but the texture was mixed. Some bites were juicy and some bites had the hardness that I’ve experienced in freezer burnt meat. I eventually grew tired of the bun, lettuce, and tomato sliding all over the place and ate most of the chicken sans the other sandwich ingredients.

While struggling to enjoy the final bites of my meal I did some quick mental math and realized that the combo is actually more expensive than ordering each item individually. Before tax the combo is currently $13, but the three items purchased individually come to $11.50. The employee that I spoke with tried to explain that some items have different prices then said that the manager is responsible for pricing.

I’d return, but only...

Update** I tried the potato corn dog with mozzarella cheese and it's definitely a 10/10 for me. My initial visit may not have been what I expected but I intend on trying different menu items before completely condemning the place like I did in my original review.

I wanted to like this place sooo bad but it's a No for Me😫. The customer service is great; very friendly staff. The food however is not as promising as it appears. My fries were cold, like they weren't freshly made. The flat wings were great but the drums did not take the seasoning and was very bland. The corn dog had no cheese. I was charged $0.50 for the sauce even though I took it on the side and not on my wings. The spicy crispy chicken wrap was my fav but it was definitely not spicy. Very pricey for a fast food place (total $25.54 for what's pictured) and I'm just not sure it's...

Let's just say I have tried a lot of Korean fried chicken as it's my go to chicken preference and this is in the top 2 of my favorites. Chicken is very crispy with a tasty batter. Well seasoned, to the bone, with a hint of spice. The sauce is very tasty. The wings are a good size, surprisingly because the larger wings are harder to hold flavor. However, these are great! My only wish is that it was tossed in sauced instead its more of drizzled on top. May asked for extra sauce next time, worth the upcharge, because the sauce is very good. It's not very spicy for spice lovers you may be able to choose a level for that. Had the Korean corn dog and it was great as well!! I will definitely be back!!! Service was great!! Keep up the...
