Chicken Shops near East Orange, NJ

“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!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“The workers were incredibly friendly. Great personalities. The place is very clean. And the food was very good. Flavorful chicken. The sides are a lot of fried foods too, but those were still very good. Nothing felt overly seasoned either, so you can enjoy eat thing you get without what you ate before overpowering your taste buds.“

“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!“

“Great fried chicken !!! 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!!!!!“

“Amazing food and especially amazing service. Perfect spot for a late night get-together with friends to grab a very enjoyable bite. If you’re lucky, you’ll get yourself caught up in an honest, heart to heart conversation with some of the nicest workers you’ll meet.“

“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!“

“Mama Rao’s kitchen has been catering all of our main home events last few years and we get nothing but raves from all of our family and friends over the food. They just did our Easter for twenty eight people, everyone loved the ham and eggplant rollitini and I am a big fan of their meatballs and sausage in their homemade gravy. Thank you so much Christina and Sal. Hope you had a Happy Easter.“

“We need Jollibee here to build in Showlow Az“

“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!“

“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.“

“I was not expecting these to be some of the best chicken tenders I've ever had, but here we are. The spice blend was incredible, the meat was high quality and tender, and the breading was absolute perfection. I can't find a single criticism to give, just WOW“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“This is not a diner in restaurant by far. Its very close to a college campus, but I think thats what adds to the greatness. When Mcdonalds and Wendy's are the fast food options you DONT want, this is the place to go. Coming here to get some great tasting fried chicken, a really good cheeseburger or a plethora of other items in the menu, they dont disappoint. They are open late and I've been going here for more than 5 years multiple times a month. In my opinion, going here is better than eating food from mcdonlds or wendys. A few years ago, the restaurant caught fire and I was sad to day the least. But they came back and its like it never changed. Highly recommended.“

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

“My family and I tried some Jolibee fried chicken this weekend, and we all agreed it was delicious! The dark meat was succulent and tender, the breading was perfect, not hard or wasn't heavy, and the flavor with or without gravy was sooo tasty! We'll definitely go back for chicken and to try other items!“

“I recently opened an auto shop in forest ave, was really hungry my first day in the neighborhood, looked up places near me & Pollo Campero caught my eye from the get- go. I looked at their menu & rushed right to them. Inside was clean, staff were friendly and got to me fast with professionalism. When I first stepped inside it reminded me of breaking bad “pollos hermanos” ordered my food, took my first bite of the fried chicken & I’ve never tasted such flavorful friend chicken before. 10/10 loved it.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Popeyes never fails when it comes to tasty chicken. The flavor is always great and the honey biscuits are one of my favorite things on the menu—always delicious.

Sometimes the chicken breasts can be big or small, so the size isn’t always consistent, but overall the food is still really good and satisfying. Definitely a solid spot when you’re craving fried chicken. 🍗🍯“

“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“

“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.“

“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!

“We held our son’s 5th birthday party here, not only did we have a great time but I was SO impressed! Margaret was amazing to work with, she helped us book the party and order platters. We had two attendants dedicated to our party. They were absolutely incredible. I had nothing to worry about—they literally handled every single detail from the cow’s appearance to the bubble machine, the chalk board to food being set up and served to DECORATIONS and goody bags.

I admit that I forgot about the goody bags but they gave each child a small cow, coloring book and crayons, chocolate chip cookie and gift card for a free treat. They also have gift cards to all of the adults too. We are so grateful that they took such wonderful care of us.

So if you’re looking to book a birthday, think about Chick-Fil-A Wayne, they will not disappoint!!“

“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.“

“At first when I saw some of the reviews saying that the staff were rude I was hesitant to go but I was there yesterday night with my husband and I had such a great experience we had the crispy chicken family meal with one side and the biscuits and we also had mint lemonade it was very delicious and fresh, They also gave us extra free biscuits and free fries overall the food was really good , the staff were very very friendly and the place was really clean, I definitely recommend this place :)“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Delicious food. Quick service.“

“I actually got a half chicken with fried rice and then another half chicken by itself. The best part was I asked the young lady behind the counter to not chop up my chicken and leave it as is. And she did I don't know why but it made me feel like a kid in a candy store ?... Will update with photos when I get it again ??“

“Great experience, service“

“Our go to place for fried chicken tenders The staff is super accommodating. The convenience of being able to call in an order is nice. Many locations, based on the surrounding neighborhoods will not accept a telephone order for pickup.
These guys are just great“

“is like puerto rico good food“
