A new fast-casual restaurant specializing in fried chicken and smashburgers is opening in Calverton this week.

YoYo Chicken, located at 4490 Middle Country Road, is hosting a grand opening event Friday, offering a free chicken sandwich to members of the public, with no purchase required, according to a company press release. The restaurant opened its doors with a soft opening about 10 days ago.

YoYo Chicken is a regional chain with locations across New York and New Jersey. The Calverton location is its first in eastern Suffolk. Its menu features fried chicken, wings, smashburgers, sandwiches, bowls, burritos and soft drinks, including milkshakes.

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Customers can eat in or take out and delivery is available through Uber Eats and DoorDash.
