“My favorite cocktail there by a mile was the Mango Sticky Rice but the Key Lime Pie was also excellent and this is coming from someone who doesn't tend to like very sweet cocktails.”

“The cocktails were disappointingly fine in the backroom, chicken was great, but it all felt rushed & crushed. Maybe they just can't keep up with the popularity/volume, maybe it was an off night, but it just wasn't sparkling or those fresh magical flavors in the way I thought it would be.”

“Went and didn't like the drinks. Had the French Toast and Red Eye Gravy. French toast was too sugary and didn't really taste the alcohol.”
H3
“The drinks are creative, unusual, and well-made - even the ones I didn't like still impressed me.”
H3
“The duck egg sandwich mentioned here is, in my opinion, one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had in NYC. Maybe the best.”
H3
“Double Chicken Please is lame, and is just full of tourists and influencers. Adding a shot of liquor to a concoction of fruit and vegetable juices to make it "cold pizza" or "beet salad" is a gimmick and does not equate to interesting and imaginative mixology in my book.”

“The cocktails are very cool and unique, but it's tough to have more than one because the flavors are so strong. Ideally I'm glad I tried it, but I prefer to find cocktails that have more balance between uniqueness and drinkability...”

“Double Chicken Please has my favorite chicken liver mousse. It's got a layer of coffee butter on top, so it's not quite as traditional but still incredible.”
H3
“All the drinks were refreshing an mildly sweet but really loved the What's Up Doc.”
H3
“The drinks are good, but I didn't think it was worth the hassle.”
H3
“I HATED my experience here. Zero human connection. Snobby service after being made to wait around a sketchy area for more than what was promised. The drinks also didn't live up to the hype.”
H3
“Double Chicken Please is a go once type of place and they know what they are . They are an instagram cocktail bar. They have a time limit, their menu is designed to entice you to get three drinks, some gimmicky chicken sandwich.”
H3
“For a place that has chicken in its name, it's by far the most underwhelming chicken sandwich imo. They're known for their drinks and I'd admit they're pretty interesting, but their sandwich misses the mark. No complexity in terms of flavor whatsoever”

“Best cocktails is a tie between Paradise Lost and Double Chicken Please.”

“Took an hour to get in but is very worth it. I highly recommend getting the salted egg yolk flavor for both the chicken sandwich and the popcorn chicken even the hot honey flavor really good as well.”
H2
“I waited 1.5 hrs+ to go to Double Chicken Please and was slightly disappointed by the cocktails.”
H2
“IMO worth the hype.”
H2
“The food here is good but the cocktails are hit or miss - some trying to be too clever.”
H2
“The trick to Double Chicken Please if you actually know your shit when it comes to cocktails is to order off their almost entirely ignored classics menu. It's much, much better than the generally sugary or just kinda goofy main menu.”
H2
“Wenwen, Double Chicken Please, and Pecking House are my favorites for asian style chicken sandwiches.”
H2
“I enjoy coop significantly more. Drinks are inventive and unique that you won’t find elsewhere”
H2
“it is not worth the hype to wait in line.”
H2
“I think DCP is very much not worth it”
H2
“I went to DCP and thought I had the most unique drinking experience of my life. Had four people, ordered all 12 cocktails and passed them around and also got a chicken sandwich and their bolognese sandwich. Incredible.”
H2
“Imo, extremely worth it. My musts are the key lime pie and the soba noodles! Mindblowing.”
H2
“Double chicken please has the best one I’ve had but hard to get into.”
H2
“I ate a delicious chicken sandwich and had a vermouth drink alone at the bar.”
H2
“actually interesting cocktails that don't suck? Not sure there any bars atm that really compare.”
H2
“I think the key lime and Japanese cold noodle were the best cocktails I’ve ever had.”
H2
“but damn that fried chicken sandwich is awesome!”
H2
“Double Chicken Please and have fried chicken in the back.”
H2
“Agreed. Overrated. It’s more for the novelty”
H2
“The back room of Double Chicken is also great, but is a harder reservation and the drinks are a hair worse.”
H2
“The drinks are really excellent. Favorite was the Key Lime Pie”
H2
“HATED this place. Everything was so sweet I swear I walked away with type 2 diabetes.”
H2
“Quite good and way more worth it than the drinks!”
H2
“the cocktails in 'the coop' are significantly better than the pre-mixed options offered in the 'free range' front bar.”
H2
“Double Chicken Please is a fun experience if you go early and get into the back room.”
H2
“Personally, i was not impressed with their cocktails since i don’t really like the concept of having my drinks taste like food. I felt that only one cocktail was really impressive, the others I had felt one dimensional.”
H2
“The front room has meh/regular cocktails. I haven't had the tofu sandwich but I thought their chicken sandwich was good but not mind blowing.”
H2
“Close contenders are Tonchin, Thai Diner, Soothr, and the fried chicken sandwich at DCP.”
H2
“but I highly recommend the popcorn chicken”
H2
“i’d say it’s worth going if you have the resy”
H2
“Double Chicken Please has some insane chicken sandwiches and on tap cocktails”
H2
“I think moreso than the cocktails, DCP’s chicken is worth the line”
H2
“I did not think it was worth the hype at all.”
H2
“It seems like they’re basically pumping out the same drinks as they did when opening so it’s not really compelling to go back to for me.”
H2
“I can appreciate the concept and think it’s cool but I really didn’t enjoy the drinks besides the plum shots which were really good.”
H2
“DCP is overrated in my opinion. Cocktails are inventive but often way too sweet. Food is good, but it doesn’t merit the giant lines in my opinion”
