This place has some of the best chicken dinners.I've ever had, and it has a nice homemade feel to it.

The Chicken Coop is widely regarded as one of if not the best fried chicken spots in New Jersey. Mine and my father’s taste buds certainly agree. It reminded us of Golden Skillet back when they used to have locations up here in New Jersey some 20 plus years ago. It’s definitely the best American style fried chicken I’ve had since Golden Skillet used to be around up here, you can only find them down south now. The people running the place are very friendly and the service was quick and attentive. And it’s located within the wildly awesome Columbus farmers market. I’ll definitely come back in the future.

Would give 0 if I could. 2nd time here even worse experience than before. Waited for 35 min come to find out 2 hour before close they run out of legs and thigh and most sides , why??? Then they found a leg that looks like a chicken finger . I try check out asked if I found just add 3 wings she told me I have to get back of the. Line when it could take her 5 seconds to get it in a bag. Taller lady that’s one of the daughter usually the one with an attitude so try avoid her. I really don’t know why so packed here all the time but I’m sure if they keep this up it won’t be as crowded. I for sure would rather go Popey’s than here again .

I got sick on their breakfast sandwich again. I have been going there on a regular basis then they started ignoring me and giving me attitude, very typical from previous experiences with the owner and her daughter. I don't feel they handle the food properly to prevent bacteria that is probably why I got sick eating the sandwich. I would recommend going to the Amish Market for all a good healthy reasonable priced meal.

Went there yesterday with my wife. Had what i think is the best chicken sandwich of all my 51 years on this earth. Now there are 2 types of people in this world , those who eat to live, and those who live to eat. I am of the latter, so i take it very serious when i say "the best" of anything. Lets start with the ladies behind the counter of the Coop Cafe. You deserve a raise! They were so wonderful, I explained it was our first time there and they were so helpful and explaining everything. My wife and I both got the "The Plain Jane" which is "Crispy chicken with melted Monterey jack cheese" we added mayo and pickles. I also went across the isle to the main chicken coop and got a order of the famous JOJOs. They called us for our sandwiches and these sandwiches are HUGE! the pictures do not do them justice. This is PURE chicken, breaded and fried to perfection. There is no processed crap in this at all. The chips were really good also, My wife said they were some of the best chips she had. I must admit the JOJOs potatoes i was not as impressed with, however they did taste good, I think the hype of them raised my expectations of them to a level they could not reach. They were not crispy at all and were a little soggy, I got them and walked right across the isle to our table in the cafe, so its not like they steamed in the foil for 20 mins while i drove home. They were good though. I would still rec ommend getting them, however with the size of the sandwiches, i dont think you need a additional side. Was not not expecting such a huge sandwich. The people behind the counter also gave a small sample cup of the sweet hot honey sauce that people normally put on the chickin, its homemade and was AMAZING. I will tell you if you have any thoughts of going to get something to eat in that area, DEF go and stop by and see the Chicken Coop Cage. you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to go back to be honest with you. I will see you all REAL SOON. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Workers are usually friendly but the chicken and potatoes were so hard and overcooked. The macaroni salad was awful, no flavor, salt or pepper, just all mayonnaise. Have to do better because this isn't the Coop I grew up eating.

I would be happy to give them a zero, but the system requires at least one star, however undeserved. Very greasy food. If you take out a bag of it, be careful where you place it, as the grease soaks right through it. Very rude staff, given to rigid enforcement of their arbitrary rules.

Absolutely horrendous! Would rate zero stars if I could. The workers were absolutely rude and unprofessional!! Not to mention the horrid oily chicken and dirt tasting Mac and cheese. Never again !

Boneless chicken was tough, the "jojos" which are potato wedges were barely seasoned and the Mac n cheese was pretty much on the bland side, the wait took forever aswell. The food looked great but once we digged in it wasn't so great.
I just came from there this one lady was so rude, kind of tall and skinny. The others are usually nice. I wish I would have gotten her name because I always spend a lot of money there. Definitely won't be going back! There was a Caucasian guy standing right behind me she wanted to take him first so done!

I Absolutely Love This Place I have been going to this place since I was a young child with my parents . I would eat there every day if I could ? if only they were openSee you soon
Maybe the food is good when I get it because it took a long time for the wrong order to be delivered. Now I got to wait forever again. The croissant bites tastes like french toast cut in small bites. I'm sure their chicken is good. The staff is friendly though.
The Coop Cafe at Richard's Chicken Coop was the best Chicken Sandwich I ever had. Honestly the chicken breast was thick, juicy and tasty. We had 3 of them, the Hot Mama, The Famous Sauce Sandwich and the BBQ Deliight. They were all fantastic. The potato chips with the Sandwich was on point. Then we ended the day with a Banana Pudding Milkshake, the server that helped us was absolutely amazing and my daughter loved the shake. Prices were good for the amount and freshness.
