50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Cliffside Park

“Great place, this place literally cured my cold with their sopa de pollo. Tried the beef strew today, also stellar. Only problem is they run out of food a lot..but I guess that's a good sign. :) Great food, highly recommended - at at the location on Broadway between 160 and 161.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is a great place if you love spicy food. The Reaper hot burger is insanely hot but full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The chicken is juicy, crispy, and fresh every time. Portions are good and the taste really stands out. Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-try for anyone who enjoys serious heat and bold flavours.“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Amazing elevated chicken. It's not just chicken, however. Oysters were superb. Salads (the scallion salad is an absolute delight) and all the sides are just superior. Little touches that seem whimsical but are just spot on - try the 24 carat nugget with caviar. Excellent star-studded champagne list; why not? Staff were just exceptional. Special shout out to the sommelier who came by and spent time even though we didn't buy a killer bottle of bubbly. We will return.“

“In todays economy, 15 bucks for half of a delicious roasted chicken, a side and a drink kind of feels like a steal. Fast and good service and very much appreciate the gloves they give you. The chicken is literally fall of the bone good. Highly recommend!“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“I went to Dave’s hot chicken I ordered my food didn’t look at it until I got home and got someone else order but I wouldn’t go back because it was a 30 minute drive was upset bout not getting what I paid for.“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“Love this place! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious! 10/10 taste and customer service every single time!“

“Mmmm 🤪Good..............🤨“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Nice place my daughter finally convinced me to dine at will return didn’t disappoint“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“the waffles 🧇 were delicious and the toppings were a added pleasure service was friendly and the place was clean I suggest everyone to add it to their bucket list You will be hooked !!!!“

“I had one of biggest experiences in this Chik-fil-A. I lost my wallet and send message on instagram. The employee was so nice, found it. I live in Brazil, im in Flórida and i Will return tomorrow. They send me my wallet by UPS and offered to pay the value of transportation. Thank you for the person who found and for employees from Chick-fil-A! 10000 stars“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Got this as takeout and was impressed. The chicken and corn were the stars of the show. One piece of feedback for the restaurant is that the salsa verde is labeled incorrectly on the menu. After trying the time I realized it’s not salsa verde, it’s Chimichurri.“

“Tada — Chinatown, NYC

Tada is an easygoing spot in Chinatown that does casual Korean comfort food with a clean, modern touch. The room is simple and relaxed, making it a comfortable choice for an unfussy meal that still feels thoughtfully put together.

The food is straightforward and well executed. The HSBC Army Stew stands out as the most satisfying dish—rich, spicy, and comforting, with enough depth and portion to truly anchor the meal. It’s the kind of dish you come back craving.

The fried chicken, which Tada is best known for, delivers as expected. Crisp, well-seasoned, and juicy, it’s done with confidence and is an easy crowd-pleaser.

Portions across the menu lean modest, and at this price point, a few more side dishes or something like a steamed egg or soft tofu would make the meal feel more complete. Still, for casual dining, Tada gets the fundamentals right: good flavors, reliable execution, and a laid-back atmosphere that works well for a low-key Chinatown stop.“

“There’s a reason Jollibee is known for having the best fried chicken in America — it’s perfectly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor every time. I even tried their new spicy chicken sandwich, and it was excellent as well. The food is always fresh, the service is friendly, and the experience is consistently great. Absolutely worth the stop.“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“Been going there for the past 30 years“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“

“The guy working the counter seemed sooooo detached, uninterested. Not rude, just really detached. The chicken was delicious though, not dry, crispy, juicy, flavorful and the slaw, pickle and sauce completed it. I would like to go back if I lived closer.“

“Lamia took great care of me while I bought 3 meals... I received a FREE chicken sandwich on their first day! The food is excellent! Today Lamia treated me like family! This is Kenny G...

“Thank you for the warning before I burned my face off with the reaper chicken strip 🤓🥺 Food is tasty, staff is friendly, it’s a whole vibe..LOVE IT!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“I was in the Penn Station area today and had a craving for fried chicken. Initially, I was thinking about going to a certain Filipino fried chicken chain, but after checking the ratings, Pollo Camino came out on top. They’ve recently opened a new branch near Penn Station, but I ended up visiting their 8th Ave location instead — a small, single-storefront shop with a simple interior.

I ordered the fried chicken set for $9.99, which came with two pieces of chicken, a piece of bread, one side, and a drink for an extra $1.
• Drink: I went with their Horchata, made with peanuts and vanilla ,milk, without the cinnamon and rice I’m used to. It had a nice aroma, refreshing, and a bit different — in a good way.
• Side: I chose yuca fries, served in large sticks. The inside was dense than potato, with a lightly crisp exterior. Personally, I wasn’t a fan — I’d say skip this and go for another side.
• Fried Chicken: Lightly battered with a noticeable blend of spices and herbs. The meat was tender, while the skin wasn’t the super-crispy kind you’d get from those well-known Louisiana or Kentucky-style chains. Flavor was solid, but here’s an important tip — just like with many fried chicken places, don’t let it sit too long. Once it cools, the saltiness becomes much more pronounced.

Service gets a full 5 stars in the fast-food category — no self-service pick-up here, they bring your food right to the table.

Overall, Pollo Camino is worth trying if you’re around Penn Station. The price is fair, the chicken is flavorful, but choose your side wisely and eat it while it’s hot. Next time I’ll try a competitor for comparison, but for now, my top spot still belongs to Louisiana chain.“

“Counter service spot serving up fried chicken. They have wings, tenders or chicken sandwiches with a good selection of dry rubs and sauces to choose from. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and helpful. Best part was it didn't break the bank. I highly recommend this spot for lunch or a simple dinner.“

“Great welcome from Joy (the girl with blonde and blue hair)! She was super nice and recommended the best menu, so I highly recommend this place.

Don’t hesitate to stop by and see Joy if you want great service ! Thanks again“

“Stopped into this spot for a quick drink and ended up eating some super great wings! Cooked perfectly and wonderfully crispy, they paired well with any drink you’re having 🙂‍↕️ Perfect spot to end the night after doing some sightseeing in the area. They have private rooms for Karaoke too! 🎤“

“Had my first ever Dave’s reaper chicken tender here. Extreme spiciness aside, the cooks were definitely cheffing it up back there because the tender was so juicy and crispy. The fried pickles really good too. Everyone was very friendly, esp our cashier/waiter who cheered me thru the reaper tender.“

“Relaxed atmosphere of a dive bar with killer food.

First note: they have the worst Diet Coke I have ever had in my entire life. Completely flat and tastes like it came out of a dirty gun.

HOWEVER every time I come here I get the chicken platter, Mac and cheese, and a tuna melt. The chicken is succulent with a beautiful breading and is piping hot every time. It is served with a sweet honey butter that goes beautifully with the biscuits as well. The biscuits are good but not mind blowing, they are small and served 3 per order. The Mac and cheese can be dry depending on the batch but this most recent visit was perfectly creamy but still firm enough to slice. It is a baked style. The tuna melt is one of my favorites in the city. It has a massive amount of tuna inside but feels lighter than others I have had. It almost takes like the tuna is whipped. I can’t figure out what they do to the tuna but it’s great. The best part about this place is that the kitchen is open late. We actually came this time because the restaurant we were trying to go to had closed their kitchen early. It’s really great having this option in the area.“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“This location store is the best texs I have ever been to. The lady in the front “her name is Nalini” she gave me the best customer service and the boys in the back they make the food best way possible. Their name is Alamin, Foysal and Shafiq. Food is fresh and hot. Overall totally satisfied with the food and service“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

“perks and discounts....presents a fun atmosphere and a bucket of crispy onion fries etc such as calamari at the beach ...“
