38 Best Chicken Restaurants near Montclair

“Super friendly! The man taking our order was super nice and patient with kids!“

“Been to the Montclair ca location several times and never had an issue. But for some reason on the date of Oct 14 2025 there were two employees. A cook and a cashier. The Cashier was not very knowledgeable, and couldn't really answer questions I had about certain food. So now to the issue..I was a little pressed for time. For my order to be prepared and finished took over 21 minutes! My wife actually had to get up and stand up to get the cashier's attention. Once she saw my wife, she told my wife the food was almost done. I almost decided to ask for a refund and leave without food.“

“The hot loaded fries are the best. This place was not too busy and we got our food in a reasonable time. The bathroom needed some attention but no big deal. The staff were friendly and they seemed attentive to cleaning the tables and taking orders.“

“Amazing local spot.. a must. everything is freshly made.“

“Great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken. The food was solid, heat level was on point, and everything came out fresh. What really stood out though was the service. Leilani was really cool, super friendly, and made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“I was there eariler today. I had the best experience there ever. Both employees there were so nice and helpful! I didn't get her name, but the girl who helped me made sure my order was correct and prepared correctly. She even suggested the cheese sauce with our sandwiches and OMG mixed with the crimson sauce. The absolutely best combination I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back!! Thank you guys for the great service!!“

“The food was very juicy and dripping of not only the juice, however the sauce which perfectly coated each chicken drum. On top of that, the chicken stayed hot for a while! I loved the fries as they were crispy and did not sog. Would try again!“

“chicken wings off the hook“

“This spot is by far my most favorite chicken joint. I have been coming here for the past decade and the food never ceases to amaze me. Each time I am brought to nostalgia despite the amount of different locations I have been to. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to find a new spot.“

“The fried chicken is always good and freshly cooked, and the staff always brings me my order swiftly with a positive attitude. I'd like to add that the place is also well maintained and clean. I love getting the Palabok with 2 PC Chicken.“

“Love the owners, love the staff, love the food! Amazing place, everyone should stop by!“

“Absolutely no complaints here! Each time I order from here it delivers! Winner, winner, chicken dinner, right? lol. I usually get the half-and-half wings. I've enjoyed pretty much their entire lineup. They've turned me into a regular.“

“fast, friendly service for being do busy three employees always make time to see if you're ok or need refills.“

“Not a fan of the no human interaction when ordering. Chicken tenders were a little flatter than I expected but were yummy. Ordered hot and felt more like medium. Was paying for
it on the throne the next day lol. My go to place for chicken.“

“Love their Christmas lights. And their peppermint shake.“

“There's a Pollo Loco closer to my work than Juan Pollo, but it's definitely worth the extra mile or two for Juan Pollo, for the following reasons (based on my comparison of a leg & thigh meal):

Freshness: Juan Pollo's chicken is hotter, more tender, juicy, and flavorful.

You get more: not only is the taste better, but the chicken is noticeably larger and instead of only 2 smaller (corn) tortillas at Pollo Loco, you get 3 larger tortillas at Juan Pollo.

For almost $2 less than Pollo Loco, Juan Pollo's meal doesn't include a drink.

Juan Pollo for the W!“

“The people here are very friendly. They're taco salad can serve three people it is so big so much chicken it's amazing you have to try the chicken tacos those are great and their chicken boil boil with pinto beans rice chicken cheese it's also amazing. The manager there is Andrew he's a sweet guy always has a smile on his face“

“El mejor pollo rostisado que he probado, su sabor y textura es incomparable..“

“The place is small, but there is a nice seating area outside. Service is excellent, even when there are only two employees, and we didn't have to wait long for the food. We usually order the family special #1 with two whole chickens and two large sides. The chicken is tenderly cooked and moist, without dripping oil. My family's favorites are the pasta and rice, but everything else is also good, such as the bread and salsa. We like the food here, and you should give it a try too!“

“Best chicken on earth. I drive hundreds of miles to pick up and take back to my hometown. I miss it so much!“

“Alma, Angel, and Rachelle gave excellent customer service. There was an error in the app or software which rejected our order, only 5 minutes before pickup. Even though this was not their fault, they ensured that I was able to get some spicy chicken before they ran out. I had to remake the order and stand in line, which was alright by me. But I'm so grateful they went that extra mile because they were almost sold out at that point in the evening. Thank you!“

“The staff is second to none. Great people. Fast service. They even made a necklace out of cooked chicken drum sticks for my birth day. I dont know how they knew the date of mybirth. Plus a necklace made from tasty chicken drumsticks smells good and is handy AF. Sure folks stare but thats because they like tasty chickens. So if you are in the mood for finger lickin' go see john chicken.“

“The food is really good, chicken, rice, beans, potato salad, and their salsa were all perfect.The staff are very friendly and the service is quick. I will definitely come back here over the other popular chain of similar food.The rice is different it's not red rice, it's arroz con polo, chicken rice but it's very flavorful, like all of their food.“

“This KFC is top notch in flavor. I live near three other KFC’s. , but when I pass this one I have to stop and have a late lunch. Remember how the KFC bucket tasted as a kid, this is one of the few that taste the same. Plus their biscuits are always flaky and hot“

“Not the prettiest of spots but still delivers good food. Fried chicken is good and consistent. Make sure to get the jalapeno bombers but make sure they are fresh.
Biscuits are crumbly in a good way and the apple pie is better than most others.

Solid spot and cheaper than Popeyes“

“Krispy Crunchy "fried chicken" is located inside the "Anthem gas station." They serve hot, ready to eat chicken tenders at 7am. But if you're looking for their family bucket-o-chicken, they'll have you covered on/after 8:30am.

My favorite breakfast choice is 3pc chicken tender combo & Christy's donut with maple bar. Drizzle honey over tenders & maple bar, and you got yourself breakfast for champions ? ?.“

“Great service and food. Very clean environment. Good deal!!“

“Did this chicken just have duke Dennis and kai cenat fanum tax me while getting rizzed up by baby gronk and eating pancakes shaped like bosley cause Wednesday adams cant make my skibidi gyat 18 feet grimace ohio, i don't know but Ohio fried chicken is rizzley

Parking: My fanum grew 18 inches“

“I was so excited this place opened up. The only challenge I see is entrance to drive-thru. Sometimes you think you're going to In-N-Out next door. But as far as the food, as far as the location, as far as the people, they're great, polite, courteous and overall good customer service“

“The food was a little dry for my Taste but the Customer Service was a 10/10 the biggest downfall was how HOT it was inside, it felt Hotter inside than it was outside. Reap Muggy. I guess to keep the homeless out, which didn't work. I asked the Homeless man to leave myself. Falling asleep drooling inside the restaurant. Just an FYI 30 min after leaving, I ended up getting the Runs from their food. :(“

“In my opinion KFC experience changes according to the location, well this location is one of the good ones, restaurant is very clean, the food doesn't taste like old oil and the personal is friendly, the new ordwring screen makes it a little unpersonal but they work, the only thing is that if you have a question you have to make an effort to bring someones attention because everybody is super focussed on the kitchen.“

“The the chicken sandwich’s“
