Chicken Shops near Closter, NJ

“This is hands down the best chicken in the area! The breading and crispiness were absolutely perfect—light, crunchy, and not greasy at all. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the sauces were completely on point—each one complemented the chicken beautifully

What really makes this place stand out is the owner’s incredible hospitality and customer service. You can tell they truly care about their customers—friendly, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. It feels like you’re being treated as a valued guest, not just another order

If you’re looking for amazing chicken and a warm, customer-focused experience, this spot is unbeatable. Highly recommend!“

“Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience. I placed my order using website. I received an immediate response from bbq chicken. Bbq chicken sent me a text estimating the time my chicken would be ready. The Soy and garlic chicken was delicious and that was my first time trying this restaurant. I picked my food the cashier was pleasant and had everything in my to go bag. I have worked in restaurants and I have my food handler's license. Great job bbq Chicken, your food is worth cackling about.“

“Came with 5 people including myself and the room was extremely spacious. They have English and Japanese songs too if you don't know Korean songs (so no one is left out). They also have a phone in the room where you can place orders and they bring everything in a timely manner.“

“Halal Chicks never misses. The food is always fresh, hot, and ridiculously flavorful, actually crave worthy every time. Top-tier service. Friendly, fast, and always showing love. You can tell they take pride in what they do. 10/10 every single time. My go-to spot in the neighborhood“

“The Best place!! The best meatS and seafood“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“Amazing chicken, pastas, wraps, deserts. Bingsoo with mango is fantastic, something you must have!!!“

“Ever since the new owners took over, this place has really stepped up! The store is spotless, the BBQ chicken is crispy and fresh, and the lady at the front desk is always so friendly. You can taste and feel the positive changes — definitely the best spot if you’re craving fried chicken!“

“I want to say this place was great in food, vibes, and coziness. This is a great definition of a mom and pop restaurant.

Firstly the food.
I had the bulgogi bento. The bulgogi looked, smelled, and tasted amazing. It had the normal bulgogi flavor with that nice hit of smokiness almost like wokhay from Chinese cooking. I loved each bite as the smokiness hit my mouth and nose. The sides of the bento was good too, the dumplings were nice and crunchy with a nice but just a tad bit bland filling, tho to be fair the filling is fairly standard for korean dumplings. The kimichi is what I prefer, which is the more freshly made kind. And the rice was cooked as I expected from a Korean restaurant, which is good. The salads were fine again its a salad, but it was nice that they added kale to the salad adding this bit of variety. The salad dressing was sweet and a bit tangy, mostly sweet which I do like since I have a sweet tooth.

The other bento was the shrimp tempura, I did get one of the shrimp tempura and it was good. The crunchy and breading was nice and you had the shrimp flavor that was still there.

Finally the tteokbokki. It was great. The rice cakes were chewy and soft and the fish cakes were soft and not mushy. The flavor of the sauce was great too, it had this nice umami to it and was the perfect level of spicy to enjoy.

The price for the food was also reasonable. Both bento costed roughly $18 each and the tteokbokki costed $12. They also had an interesting line up of drinks that was nice.

All this aside I want to also note how cozy and welcoming it felt. The lady that was serving us was very kind and caring. She even asked about how the addition of kale to the salad was because it was a new addition that they changed because people liked kale. I really liked that attention to detail. The store was medium sized with some odds and ends here and there but that added to the charm of the place.

I went on a Thursday during lunch time and it had a good amount of business via pick up but I was there alone with the person I was with dining in.

Overall as a Korean I think this place hits better then certain places in mind the food was good and the atmosphere was comforting.

I do regret not trying some of the other menu items I guess I have to return for some more.

For the sake of Google reviews I gave everything a 5. My personal score may be closer to a 4.4 which is high for my own personal score“

“The absolute most delicious Korean fried chicken! Much better than any other similar options in the surrounding areas. It's an unassuming place that just gets the good spot on!! You won't regret ordering chicken from here ... 😋“

“Small place with great flavors. We had the soy garlic wings which were delicious and had lots of meat on them. The squid fries were wonderful. The corn cheese was very good just needed something to scoop them up with for which I used the crust from the delicious shrimp pizza.
Would come again and again.“

“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.“

“Delicious chicken. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I had takeout from K chicken and it’s always a hit with my family. Recently had lunch at the restaurant and the service was A+. My go to order is chicken wings with the sweet and spicy dipping sauce on the side so my kids can enjoy them too. Kimchi fried rice and fries are also so good!“

“It was just delicious my family and I enjoyed 😋👍“

“This place is 100% halal live poultryAnd 5 star service call order and in person order….. This place provides you with very good service and good quality chicken. Always being approached with a smile and leaving satisfied with the duck and chicken I bought. So fresh and well taken cared of the chicken they sell.“

“Great food!! I would recommend it to anyone. Clean and it looks like a lot of people go there to eat and for take out. Have always been a fan of Pollo Campero!!“

“Chicken is crunchy and delicious! Everything I've tried so far has been good. Glad I finally tried Chicken Galore last month, but, now I'm a little addicted 😉“

“I'm visiting and staying at a hotel right around the corner and I hadn't eaten all day. I went here because it was close but I'll be back because it was delicious. I was worried the salad would be dry but NOPE! It was tossed in right the amount of dressing and the plantains were fresh and fantastic! So so good.“

“Great family events and friendly staff!“

“realmente es, bueno es el verdadero pica Pollo de la republica Dominicana“

“Best Korean fried chicken in Englewood. This place has amazing character and parking in the rear. A lot of choices for chicken sauces and even cheese snow and ppuring. Tons of sides options and large platters for parties. The owner and staff are friendly like your family. Definitely a must try.“

“Food is good, but it's really trippy to walk into a takeout place and not see or speak to a single human being...

Placed my order at the kiosk and waited in perfect silence for my food to be placed in a locker for takeaway.“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Ordered the famous tiktok frozen drinks. They were great. Owners even gave me samples of the drinks before ordering. No one asked me if I needed help and that was a bit akward as I just stood there. Be assertive as soon as you walk in is my best advice. I greeted everyone when I walked in because they were all looking at me and everyone just continued to stare. Interaction was akward but drinks were good.“

“Super clean and friendly employees! Love it“

“Please make hush puppies a side choice with seafood orders. It used to be very popular in the 90s to order in the Bronx with seafood.

I used Google translate to write what they are in Spanish if understand what it is better in Spanish. Los hush puppies son pequeñas bolas saladas, fritas y elaboradas con masa de harina de maíz, que son un alimento básico de la cocina del sur de Estados Unidos.“

“I’ve been to Don Chicken several times now, and it never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the flavors are always spot-on. I always order the rose tteokbokki too—it never gets old. The place is clean and cozy, and the staff are super friendly, which makes every visit a pleasure. Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“The food is delicious and the chicken is great. Everyone is really friendly and happy to help you out with your meals. Just love them“

“The food was good. Two factors lead me to give them 4 stars. I noticed that i ordered the same plate as another gentleman did, but was charged more for my order. Also i was skipped in line and was giving a hard time by another customer in front of the server and she didnt correct them by telling them i was there before him.“

“Top notch service. Fast and kind. Great team vibe, and obviously yummy chicken! .Keith, José and Edward (thank you again for the consideration with my sauce preferences!), these guys were aligned, in and about to take my huuuuge order with outstanding accuracy. Thank you for having solid staff members!“

“I don’t usually like trying new foods, so I was a little hesitant at first. But I went with my sister, who knows a lot about Korean food, and I’m so glad I gave it a shot — it was fire.

We ordered the tteokbokki with cheese, and it was so good. Spicy, cheesy, and super comforting. The soy garlic chicken was amazing too. I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but now I can’t wait to go back. Definitely worth trying, even if you’re picky like me!“

“Compared to my past ordering experiences in the city, I wasn’t expecting it to be immaculately clean, neatly organized, and even seasonally decorated. The service was incredibly fast, everyone was very kind, and they made the whole experience feel effortless.

I also didn’t remember the prices being this good, so that was a great surprise. Overall, it completely changed my perspective about the chain — the product, the value, and the overall customer experience.

Congratulations to the team.“

“The food at this place is absolutely delicious. So glad I stumbled across it on Postmates. Everything my husband and I ordered was delicious. Seasoned to perfection. We will be trying everything on the menu. 😃 And the prices are great 😊 what more can you ask for!“

“Fast friendlyservice. Love this place.“

“I frequently order from The BBQ location in Palisades Park after my morning gym session. There are many choices for good Korean style fried chicken but i find BBQ’s to have the perfect blend of crispy/flaky on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. My personal favorite chicken place-ordering online 20 min before my gym session ends ensures a ready to go pick up with no wait time. Easy and convenient.“

“The food here is GREAT. And inexpensive. Very tasty, fresh, loved it. The ambience is not forst date material. This is working class, beer kinda place. Dove bar for Spanish people. $5 for beers. Did I say the food was great!!!!????And cheap. Will be back.“

“Honestly, their fried chicken is the best. Super crispy outside, juicy inside — just hits every time. I’m glad there are BBQ Chicken spots everywhere.

As a Korean though… I had a little “wow it’s really 2026 huh” moment seeing the $2 charge for sauce 😅 I kinda wish I could swap the radish for sauce instead.

Service was good — just what you expect from BBQ Chicken. And this location is definitely better than the Pal Park one in my opinion. I’ll keep coming back.“

“I love this place. My little sister frequents this place after school dismissal. Its within walking distance from 161st street and The Yankee Stadium. The Gateway Mall is just a block after the Yankee Stadium as Well. Fresh food and great employees.“

“I have bought meals from this store many times ever since they opened in GSP food court. This is one of the most popular restaurants in the mall, sometimes the line wrapping around the stairs. It’s take out only, but of course guests can use the mall’s dining hall for dine-in. The store does a good job of putting associates outside who take customers orders while they are waiting in the line. It speeds up the process and keeps the line short.

The store takes relatively short tike to prepare the orders. I always got my orders within 10 minutes. They always pack the items correctly. Never had any missing from the bag. They are also generous with the sauces. I got more whenever I asked. I love the chicken deluxe sandwich, chicken nuggets, waffle fries, milkshake of Chic Fil A. This store does an excellent job of maintaining the quality, taste and standard, at all times.

The associates are very friendly here. They always greet and smile. They happily fulfill any reasonable requests like extra sauces, napkins or utensils. The rewards account is also valuable as I get points for purchases from this store. I have redeemed points at this also for free sandwiches and desserts. I hope they continue to do well and keep making the guests happy at GSP.“

“I came here for a quick bite on a Tuesday afternoon. Armando was so nice and accommodating that I also order food to go for my kids. That wasn't the plan but the food was so good and Armando was so kind I got orders to go. Between the excellent service and delicious chicken. I'll be back. #“

“Fried chicken os decent, but the halal chicken is INCREDIBLE. They give you enough food in a chicken over rice dish to be full, even for a big guy. Well worth the slightly expensive price for a halal in the Bronx. The guys at the register are always chill. They have some other tasty treats like Philly cheese steaks that are mysteriously tasty.“

“Hedley was super super friendly and helpful on the ordering and he also offered us a manager special deal which are plenty we couldn’t finish for three person. Cheaper price than the menu. He really think about customer! Highly recommend come to this store for KFC!“

“They’ve never gotten my order wrong or cheap out on the sauces. I always carry out, Today I dined in and it was a pleasant experience for it being such a busy day (Wednesday before thanksgiving). They give you wet wipes AND a mint. The only thing that differs today is that they underfilled my $6 Mac and cheese, but I get it bc of the amount of people rn lol“

“amazing spot. been going here for the past 20 years. The employees are very kind people and got nothing but loveeee. Oh and their food is amazing!! literally every item on the menu is to die for. highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some banging food.“

“I’ve been eating Chicken Delight since I was a kid — the kind of spot my grandfather would grab on those random days, and we’d bring it home to my grandma like we just hit the lotto 😂.

Even now, every time I come back to Westwood to visit family, this place is still one of my first stops. Not because it tastes exactly the same as when I was little — it doesn’t — but the memory hits the same every time.

I always go straight for the chicken and fries. The chicken is hot, crispy, and comforting in that “I grew up on this” kind of way.
And the rolls? Still soft. Still doing what they need to do.
Their coleslaw and macaroni salad have always been my secret favorites — still some of the best around.

My grandparents loved the shrimp and ribs, so those were always on the table growing up even though I never ate them myself.

And the pizza? The second you open that door, the aroma hits you right in the face — warm, fresh, familiar. The kind of smell that drags your whole childhood back instantly.

We even had Chicken Delight at family gatherings and church events — that’s how deep it runs in our family story.

This place isn’t just a take-out spot — it’s a piece of home that somehow stayed standing while everything else changed.

If you grew up around here, you already know. ❤️🍗“
