May 17, 2026"I’ve been to Cross Street Chicken about four times now, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite chicken spots in town. While their chicken wing prices are a bit on the higher side, you definitely get what you pay for. These wings are big, with nearly twice the amount of meat compared to other places. You get both quality and quantity. Their chicken sandwich is also delicious - crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also enjoyed their tater tots. They offer a solid variety of sauces and seasoning options. Cross Street also has a great selection of beers and even offer soju, which pairs perfectly with the food. You can dine inside or enjoy their outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. Overall, Cross Street Chicken delivers on flavor, portion size, and experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves good chicken and good times."

My mouth is watering just typing this because I'm remembering the wings. Their corn poppers are also SO good. I also tried their pride month shots and they were very tasty. I didn't have a single thing that tasted bad. Everything was flavorful and mouth watering. Their customer service was also good and everyone was very nice. Overall amazing experience."

Apr 20, 2026"Service: My boyfriend and I came to Cross Street on a Saturday afternoon and were seated immediately. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly throughout our visit. Our food also came out very fast, which we appreciated. Ambience: The restaurant had a casual and relaxed vibe that made for an easy lunch spot. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area had fun oversized games like Connect Four which added to the atmosphere. Overall, it's a great place to grab wings and hang out. Food: We ordered two sets of Korean wings one garlic soy and one lemon pepper along with kimchi. The kimchi was honestly the standout of the meal, super flavorful and delicious. The wings were good, but not amazing. We both love Korean-style wings, so maybe we just picked the wrong flavors this time. The chicken itself was slightly dry, but the sauces were still tasty enough that we'd be willing to try other options next visit. Overall: Overall, I'd give Cross Street a 4 out of 5. Good service, quick food, and a solid spot for Korean wings. Even though this visit didn't completely wow us, we'll definitely be back to give other flavors a try."
