Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken

It?s not often that I write reviews of places but the experience I just had needs to be shared ?and shared again. Until tonight, I had never eaten in Chimchurri Chicken in Carle Place but it came super highly recommended by someone who knows good restaurants. Unfortunately, my experience was not positive and was perhaps the rudest restaurant experience I?ve ever had in my life. I entered the restaurant before 8:30 pm, pondered what to order for a few minutes and then ordered. My food was ready in about six or seven minutes, which was fine. I sat down and began to eat and about ten minutes later, when I was nearly half finished with my meal, someone came over and told me the restaurant was closing and that I had to leave?RIGHT NOW! A little befuddled and dumbfounded, I couldn?t believe my ears, as I was in the middle of finishing my meal. And then another person came over and said they were closing and that I had to leave NOW. ?We have rules, you know,? the man said to me. Still dumbfounded, I asked whether I could finish as it was very clear the kitchen staff had a ways to go before they were finished cleaning the kitchen. NO was the answer?I had to leave RIGHT NOW! The food was decent but the entire experience was unnecessarily horrific because of the rude way in which I was kicked out of the restaurant well before I was finished with my meal. Another thing that isn?t clear is about the chicken wings, which are ordered by quantity (8, 10, 14, etc. , and are said to be cut in half. I thought this means one would get, for example, eight wings or 16 pieces (eight sets of two halves , but this is not the case. Feel free to give it a try but be forewarned about the incredibly rude staff, especially around closing time.

The food is always great. The fried as well grilled chicken are great. I had the fried on this visit. Always fresh. The sides if grilled veggies and corn were amazing as well. This location doesn't sell burgers but looking to having one at other location.

The charcoal chicken is absolutely delicious. The garlic edge fries are to die for. The Spanish rice is yummy. My kids like the chicken fingers and BBq sauce. Love the chimichurri sauce.Vegetarian options: If you can't have chicken, there are things on the menu.Parking: It's the Carle Place shopping center with Barnes and Noble and Stop and shop and Bens.Plenty of parking. Remember, this is a kosher place, Chimichurri's is closed on Saturdays.Kid-friendliness: The chicken fingers are delicious from what my daughter said. My son, who could be picky, devoured them.

I walked in with a friend with coffee because we were going to take out. They expected us to leave the coffee outside while we ordered. Very rude. I’ve came here twice and ordered and spent over $100 on only 2 orders. Never again.

Excellent chicken steak.Staff are super. Look forward to returning.
