The girls at the front counter are bouncy and bossy. A playful, well-seasoned team of A+ cooks create your meal! Watch them prepare your meal while you wait or simply have a seat.

Knowing what to order at an unknown Chinese restaurant is both a culinary and financial gamble and a risk. It’s a menu of many categories, sizes, specialties and meats. How to know? For me, it’s word of mouth and personal recommendations that still work best. I am grateful for my friends who know good food and I rely upon them over the social media e-review.

Eat in, take out, delivery during lunch/dinner hours only.

Curley’s Chicken House

Elmira, NY

Tel: 607-732-2334
Hours: Daily 7AM - 9PM

For generations, Curley’s Chicken continues as a family favorite, year-round destination gathering spot right on Lake Road. Glide ride into the big parking lot, find your spot, and get ready to step into a open diner with old fashioned booths, low counters, tables and cases full of homemade pies. It's a busy, happy hum of yum. And THE best roasted chicken that is prepared following Dr. Robert C. Baker’s infamous “State Fair Chicken” or Cornell Barbecued Chicken recipe.

Folks in our group tend to eat on different schedules so we’ve been know to start with a strawberry shortcake to share - it’s how we’re sure to fit one in! We then proceed directly to chicken dinners for all. For more info on this amazing chicken start here:
