“nice place, delicious 😋 food, quality was excellent also it was a friendly experience I really recommend it“

“It was a great experience, although the line was long
(Dinner time ). The manager was so gracious to me. Because I was there so long, he offered me a free drink to make it for me. I got home only to find out that my order was messed up. I called the restaurant, and a fine gentleman named Jadir answered. I explained to him that my order was messed up. He apologized for the inconvenience and offered to make it for me. I returned the next day, and my order was corrected this time. Thank you so much, Jadir and his staff. You are a wonderful manager, and you have great customer service. Keep up the good work. I will be back again soon“

“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!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“Went to this location to get my Korean fried chicken and cheese balls yesterday everything was so good! The chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the cheese balls were perfectly gooey inside. The staff were friendly too, and the service was quick. Definitely coming back again!“

“This was my first time here after a friend suggested it, and it was AMAZING! I am always hunting for a place that has delicious sauce and can make that perfect crunchy coating on chicken that stays crispy for hours, and this place IS IT! The food really looks as good in person as it does in the images. I had the honey garlic boneless chicken and mixed with the white rice, it is especially delicious! The secret sauce was great too, very unique and floral and just the right spiciness.

Also worth noting was the fantastic lady who helped us today! I’m assuming she’s the owner/manager…she was so friendly and welcoming, the kind of person you’re happy to see every time. Between the food and her kind energy, we will definitely be coming back for more soon!!“

“A friend recommended this place and we decided to try them out for my fathers birthday. We ordered their fried chicken spicy and regular, coleslaw, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was fresh. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and was very juicy. Customer service was incredible they even called me hours later to make sure the food met our standards. Highly recommend!“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

“Royal Chicken was amazing! The chicken was great, super flavorful and perfectly cooked. We took it to go for a party and it was the first thing that was gone. The guy at the front was amazing as well, very friendly and helpful. Definitely ordering again!“

“So I’ve always heard about Dave’s but never been till today, first off the service I received was beyond exceptional Dylan M took my order not only did he service with a smile he took time to figure out what I like and suggested what I should get and he was right it did not disappoint I also received my order from Angel H who also provided me and my friend service with a smile he told us how to mix are sauce for the best flavor. I truly appreciate top notch service with a smile it’s very rare now a days, the service alone will have me coming back again!!!!!“

“Slap Burger definitely lives up to its name — every bite slaps! Their tenders are incredibly juicy and perfectly seasoned, the fries are crispy and golden, and the loaded fries are a flavor bomb worth every calorie. Don’t miss their shakes either — thick, creamy, and the perfect sweet finish to a savory meal. A must-try spot if you’re craving comfort food done right!“

“Highly recommend! Food is delicious and portions are shareable depending on hunger level! Everything was nice and crispy! Ordered french fries, onion rings, and small orders of sweet and spicy wings (10), crispy chicken drumsticks (5) and hot and spicy boneless chicken (about 12 pieces or so). Will definitely be coming back!“

“Their pizza is really good - especially the Marguerita and buffalo chicken. I hope more people start going there so they will be able to remain open. Try it! You’ll like it!“

“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 ... 😋“

“Omg first time here Amazing sandwich Mozzarella Rice balls Very friendly staff“

“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.“

“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... Mitsubishi Nice to meet you again!!! Toyota....Francis treated me great.. today NICOLE took care of me like a King! 👑“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere A+. This little spot in the heart of Linden is the place to go when you want some delicious and comforting food.“

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

“The owner is so kind and the food is amazing. The chicken so juicy and delicious and the fries too. Definitely recommend’“

“Picked up a Slider, Strip Combo and came with a free drink which is not something I’ve see where so definitely a plus.
Nice ambiance with high ceilings and lights. Very rustic and casual. The hot sauce is really hot so be careful. Should have gone with mild or medium. Mind you i do like hot sauce so when i say hot is hot its really is.. But the sauce had a kick to it.
Would definitely go back. The fries were really good.“

“Huge fan of chicken sandwiches, and Cayenne’s are flavorful and delicious. Literally the perfect sandwich for lunch or a late-night craving.“

“Delicious halal food. I always get burger combo here and it fills me up. I also love their mousse cake and banana pudding. I love their nacho cheese fries as well. The guy that works there is very nice and excellent customer service here very kind. They also have multiple locations and are open late. Definitely recommend!“

“If you’re looking for authentic flavor, this is it. The food tastes exactly like home cooking. The rotisserie chicken is juicy and seasoned perfectly, but the beans are the best I've had in the area. This is my new favorite spot for a real Puerto Rican and Dominican meal!“

“AWESOME food! I love the atmosphere. And I really love the fact that they serve the best falafel in the city.“

“The chicken was really good,crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was well-seasoned and tasted fresh, not greasy. The portion size was filling, and the food came out hot. The service was fast, and the place was clean. Overall, it’s a great spot for chicken, and I would definitely come back!!!“

“The Philly cheese steak is delicious. Tried some fried chicken too…also very tasty. I will be eating here again.“

“Been coming here for a while now and the food has been amazing. The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in all of the east coast. They also just got BBQ Ribs and Oxtails. And they are heavenly, and full of flavors. Feels like im in a Jamaican/fried chicken cuisine. Best of both worlds.“

“9/27/25

Hubby was looking for something to eat and found Dominican Pica Pollo. Fried chicken with Dominican seasoning, it's so good.

I got the sandwich and hubby got chicken pieces. Have to say I prefer the chicken pieces. The chicken in the sandwich was a little overcooked so it was very dry, even though it is wonderfully seasoned.

Will go back for the chicken pieces yum.“

“Stopped by Jollibee Newark and had such a pleasant experience! The staff were friendly and efficient, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. You can really tell they care about their customers. The food was great as always — hot, tasty, and exactly what I was craving. Highly recommend this location!“

“If you like Spanish Portuguese food, this will satisfy whatever you feel like steaks to chops to fish to Mariscos 🦀. I took an order of garlic pork chops which were delicious and a great value to go for dinner later! The waiter I don't know if I'm spelling it right, Solo was terrific and attentive and he had a full bar to deal with too! I will probably go there today again!
REPapillon“

“A nice twist on a classic fast food. Fried chicken meal with coleslaw and plantains was delicious. The drink options are delicious, tried the hibiscus & the mango tea flavors. Dinner was ready in just a few minutes. No coming and no cleanup! Would go back again.“

“First timer since i just moved to Palisades park couple month ago. I got to know the chef and owner by name, the first day i came in. Very nice people, atmosphere and mostly, Food! chicken is seasoned just right, def has southern kick. Love it. Highly recommended.“

“I love this place. I don't mind having to wait as long as my food is nice and hot! The women who work the counter are extremely friendly and helpful, and they always give top notch service. My grandmother were very satisfied with our order! Been coming here several years, and this is the best experience I've ever had! Keep up the great work!!“

“Food was really good, and our server, Jimmy P, was amazing and very friendly. Everything was beyond our expectations! Keep in mind though that the spicy options are really, REALLY spicy! Didn’t ruin the quality of the food whatsoever though!“

“Honestly, it makes me so happy that a place like this still exists in downtown Montclair. I picked up two pizzas today - a pepperoni and a cheese for $25. The woman there was incredibly sweet and gave me a free container of cut watermelon as well. I really like their pizza and have always sung their praises - it’s slightly spicy. Traditional? Not exactly but I’m Italian and I think it’s delicious for a good price so that’s what matters. Hope they’re around for a long time — they’ve always been there for me in a later night pinch“

“when I call this spot, I don’t even gotta explain. They hear my voice and be like “Yup, that’s him…hit him with the usual, he ’bout to tear this cheesesteak up.” The dude up front chill as hell I think his name Muhammad or something like that but I call him ocky. Best cheesesteaks in linden and I been to all of them.“

“They’re the best of the best. I drive all the way from Wayne, New Jersey just to get my dishes from here! This is the best chicken spot i’ve ever been too, the staff are incredible and the management is above and beyond. You can definitely see they take care of the establishment and the care for the food is the best. Well trusted.“

“Great hot wings, that's pretty much the only thing I ever get here, but I have had other things, and it was pretty good. All the employees are really friendly and extremely patient. Just to be perfectly honest, this place is located in a rather tough area, so keep that in mind when going here. Also there's no seating, it's strictly take out, the prices are very fair, and it offers a decent amount of other products similar to a small bodega. All in all, the wings keep me going back almost weekly for a number of years now and I've never had any problems with other customers. Enjoy!“

“I celebrated my nomination this evening in this excellent restaurant. Well it was a enjoyable evening and the restaurant was unquestionably the reason for this successful meeting. The crew contributed in a gorgeous way, the cooking was very good and my buddies were very glad. We shall absolutely come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.“

“This is a fantastic place to get delicious. Fast food. Chick-fil-A beats out the others. The value can't be beat. Get the number one meal and ask for mayo and Chick-fil-A sauce. Put a packet of mayo on your Chick-fil-A sandwich and bring the Chick-fil-A sauce home to improve whatever it is. You eat at home. The baffle fries need nothing. Get a lemonade if you can handle the sugar“

“First time eating at this spot, literally 2 minutes walk from where I live it and I’ve always seen people in and out but never stop and try, Not a big fan of Chinese food but I wanted to try something different today and the wings and barbecue sauce was so good.“

“Small business with big flavor. Soul food is delicious. There is no place to really sit, so it's more of a order to go kind of place. Your favorites are served there and they do catered trays. Best of all they are offering Cheesecakes By Diamond. If you haven't tried them, then you're missing out. Stop by and check them out“

“This is one of the best chicken PLACES I ever been to and I've been in many, great chicken, very clean, employee's are awesome, and they handle your FOOD in a very sanitized way, one other thing they do it right in front of you, and there pizza is also good all around it's a great place to get your FOOD, I guarantee it, 110%,plus tax“

“I have been going here since it has opened,and the food is good prepared as you like it. The personnel are beautiful people with whom I have seen feed those who may not have the money to eat on several occasions which every community business person should have a heart to do. It is a community-based business which I would not change for anything or anyone!!!“

“Excellent service!! Didn’t catch his name but the man wearing a black shirt (maybe manager?) was so kind. I ordered take out and there was just a little a mix up, I think someone else picked up my order. He apologized right away and had them remake my order. It was so fast and he gave me a free brownie plus gift cards for 3 free biscuits. Above and beyond!“

“As a Korean it is safe for me to say that I have had a lot of bb.q Chicken in my lifetime haha but no other franchise places has made me care enough to leave a review (as my last local guide review was over 7 years ago before graduating from The Culinary Institute Of America) with my credibility that comes alongside food

The food alongside the hospitality of this specific franchise places has left a profound impact on my delicious experience of the crispy to the T seasoned chicken and fries. Definitely would come again“

“Great selection and great quality.“

“Been going to Happy Paisa Chicken for decades. Though I’m a pescatarian, I’ve always been satisfied with delicious food. My mom and friends like the chicken meals; I enjoy tostones, salad, rice, yucca, beans (frijoles), green sauce, puffed cheese pastries, and more. Since the 2020’s began, however, there is only the Take-out option; no dine-in.
A word of caution: be careful to park legally on the street; I’ve gotten a couple of parking tickets there over the years.“

“The food is Way better than I remember!!! When I grew up in north Carolina this was a country staple!!! When I ate their recently the chicken and waffle fries where awesome!! Im a little sad I missed my birthday though I did celebrate with a cigar which is even cooler“
