As one satisfied diner aptly put it, "THIS is my new go-to chicken spot!" We couldn’t agree more.

I recently ordered from this service, and I was pleasantly surprised! The delivery was prompt and the items were packaged carefully. Everything arrived in great condition and just as described. I had a slight issue with my order, but customer service was quick to respond and really helpful. Overall, a solid experience that I would recommend! Just a few hiccups away from perfection, but definitely above average.

It's much better than raising cane. You need 2 hands to eat the Nashville sandwich. Very tasty, I would recommend. It's a big sandwich. They gave me a free banana pudding. They're very nice.

Okay 2 notes. Their chicken is amazing. High quality and well cooked. Their fries are terrible. Don't go for the fries. The pudding is solid but small portions. There is 1 table so better for take out. No tap water option so expect to get bottled water. That said their focus, chicken, is exceptional despite the other lesser elements.

I ordered here twice from Grubhub and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I got the smash burger and buffalo chicken ranch sandwich. The smash burger is so damn good, and I love the coleslaw on the buffalo chicken sandwich. I think im addicted now.

Great customer service; my little one is very extroverted and was constantly saying hi to the poor guy behind the counter , but he always took the time to say hi back. He then gifted a banana pudding to him on top of that. It was very kind of him! The place is pretty much take out only. There's a table that has 3 seats, but with the amount of traffic coming in, it would be pretty uncomfortable. We ordered: -Chicken tenders combo - Nashville hot Chicken sandwiches (mild) -Mac and cheese All of the chicken was juicy and well cooked. Oftentimes chicken tenders end up being dry because it's chicken breast and smaller pieces; but these were delicious! All chicken is made to order, so this does mean you may be waiting a little, but who doesn't want piping hot fried chicken? Plus the fries are thicker cut and fried well. Now there is a slight downside to this review, and I'm not reducing the rating because I still really enjoyed the food and absolutely would come again. This wasn't Nashville hot chicken. It wasn't tossed in sauce. I'm not mad at that since I got it to bring home and this meant the chicken wasn't soggy. Mac and cheese was good; I enjoyed it but my kiddos weren't a fan of the bigger macaroni noodles with a stronger chew. I thought it was perfectly creamy and al dente though. The banana pudding was creamy and a nice option to end a meal with. Totally didn't take pictures because we destroyed the food in the car

Hot, fresh And crunchy. Got the medium tenders. Had lots of flavor. The smash sauce was excellent

Such a gem in the middle of nowhere in brooklyn! Tiny halal take out joint, seating available for 2-4 ppl. Sorry no photos because the food was just that good! Didn't even get a chance to take some, was too busy devouring it! We had the original chicken tenders sandwich, with chipotle and garlic sauce on the side, so we could sauce as needed. The fries however could use some love. They were a little on the thick cut side, I personally think, fries on the thinner side come out nice and crispy, needed seasoning. But the sauces were flavorful. I was looking forward to trying the tenders biryani, but they stopped making it:( Great junk food cravings spot to check out for my halal-only fam, and my everything-but-pork fam.

I was craving delicious, flavorful chicken tenders for a few days. I came across Forefeathers and the glowing reviews. It's not often that you get large and in charge, juicy pieces of mouthwatering, perfectly fried chicken. The seasoning is just right, and you pick the spice level. I ordered the 3-piece fried chicken box with the fries. I also ordered the banana pudding. Superb! THIS is now my go-to chicken spot. Thank you, fellow Yelpers for leading me to this wonderful meal experience. Delivery was quick and service was great!

This place has such delicious food. They had recently opened up and I had been wanting to stop by to see what they had. I was initially going in to get their chicken biriyani but saw their Fries Madness option and I can't pass up Fries with homemade sauces. Upon entering i was immediately greeted by the owner. He is such a nice man and very pleasant to speak with. We always end up chatting the whole time im there waiting for my order if it isn't too busy. I had asked about his Mac & Cheese as well as the fries madness as i love good mac and cheese and he was very honest in stating that they were still working on improving their mac and cheese and offered it as a freebie to try and comment on it. In my opinion their mac and cheese could use some work. Since they are making a stove top mac and cheese and not oven baked the mac and cheese felt a little watery and missing a cheese flavor. I would recommend adding a cheese to help bind the other cheeses and some cheddar or sharp cheddar to give it some flavoring. Now their Fries Madness, no need for changes as this item is delicious as is! I have been coming back around every 2 weeks just for this item and i can't get enough of it. their Mad Chipotle sauce is spicy but with a hint of sweetness. The madness of the fries, slaw, fried chicken and mac and cheese is delicious. it also comes with pickles which i remove because i do not like pickles (though they have added pickles the last 2 times i have been by even though i make sure to say no pickles, oh well they are easy to remove). I will definitely be returning and going to try their Mint Margarita as I have been told that it is delicious as well. This item costs $13.50 but its worth it as it is about 2 serving sizes.
