Dominick’s Italian American Deli in New Hyde Park just dropped a delicious little bombshell on Facebook: they’re opening a brand-new spinoff in Plainview called Dom’s Famous Chicken Fingers. There’s no opening date yet, but the breadcrumbs are already there.
The new spot is set for Crossroads Plaza on Old Country Road, right next to La Piazza. Locals may recognize the address as the former home of Benjy’s Shawarma, and before that, Mixed Grill. If there’s one thing this location knows well, it’s turnover. If there’s one thing Dominick’s knows well, it’s chicken fingers that inspire cult followings.
For those who haven’t made the pilgrimage to their Herricks Road flagship, Dominick’s is a veteran-owned, father-and-son operation that does things the old-fashioned way: everything cooked onsite, everything served with pride. Their famous chicken fingers aren’t just a menu item; they’re practically a neighborhood institution.
