“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!“

“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.

“The food was amazing and surprisingly cheap i recommend the jumbo shrimp and wedges as sides it hits every time crispy on the outside soft in the inside. Their breakfast is very good as well i recommend asking for a omelette even tho it isn’t on the menu.“

“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.“

“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 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’m a New Jersey native of this area and now live in Michigan and when I come to vacation in New Jersey this is a must stop place if I could buy a franchise and bring it to Michigan I would the chicken is amazing the flavors on the chicken and the seasoning the way they fry it. It is one of the most amazing pieces of fried chicken that I’ve ever had, I truly recommend anyone to come and try the chicken from this place. I bought a I bought a box meal with a extra piece of chicken on the side and taste of the chicken was juicy was amazing.“

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

“Surprisingly Fabulous service , the establishment left a bright and impactful impression on my mood. Had a wonderful chat and wait with the charming and cheerful blue haired employee Janalis, she was the highlight. The food service and timing was great and the lemonade is some of the best i’ve ever had“

“Anyone that says this place isn’t amazing is nuts trust in me go eat be happy and go again I’ve been slowing working through the menu pernil - fire - beef stew - fire - oven chicken - you guessed it fire- rice and beans stay slapping I love when they add the pumpkin if you know you know. Chimi slaps hard and I’m a big fan of the fried sweet plantain they stay sweet and delish. I saw a review about service and have been here now 7 times? I’ve waited twice when busy nothing crazy because food is worth the wait. Anyone steering you away is salty country on your own !“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at this Portuguese restaurant for the first time, and it was such a delightful experience! The food was incredibly flavorful and felt so authentic—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous, with each dish easily enough for two people to share. I particularly loved the tender meats and perfectly seasoned gravy. The lovely lady who served us made the experience even better with her warm service. As it was our first time trying Portuguese cuisine, we were thoroughly impressed. We’ll definitely be coming back for another visit!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I stopped in on our way to an event in the area based on reviews. It's a very small place with no indoor seating. However the service was friendly and quick and the chicken bao was very good. If we are ever back in the area, I would try more items from their menu.“

“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“

“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“

“Never disappoints! Fast, friendly service! Delicious fresh food, healthier options and reasonably priced It’s a great addition to the mall that I love!“

“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!“

“Clean and welcoming...I was greeted by the friendly manager at the door who also began searching up my order and packing it.

I was then graciously assisted by the personable and professional Shanyce G. as she knowledgeably answered my questions about menu items while I waited.

I also appreciate the assistance of the person who finished packing my order (this occurred at roughly 11:30 on 10/6/2025...I write this so they get credit but because I also don't like describing people by race and/or perceived gender).

Positive experience! Would come back!“

“Love this place. The food is so authentic and feels like it comes from home and it does. They hand make everything like the noodles. Peanut noodles are great here, dumplings, wontons, beef soup. Everything is just so good. Definitely come on in and check it out if you’re in the new door area. Service was excellent.“

“Highly recommend their pizza, burgers, wings, chicken, gyro platters, gyro sauce, sandwiches, beef patties, and everything they make does not disappoint. GOD BLESS THEM ALL With abundant bounty in this world and eternally.“

“Service was amazing! I was given a 15 minute wait time and my food was ready in exactly 15 minutes. I had the salmon sliders, wings with kkb sauce, yellow rice, broccoli and fried shrimp. For dessert, Caramel pecan cheesecake! My daughter and I enjoyed every bit of our meals! The restaurant is really cute with a bar type of vibe.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I need to say that Malka Khan is a diamond in the rough. Went into Crispy Chicken a few months ago. She was exceptionally kind and serviceable and went beyond in customer service. Second time in she was ever kinder, made me feel welcome and appreciated. Hence, why I’m taking the time to write this. She was generous, accommodating; more people should be this way. Oh, not to mention the food’s incredibly bangin’. Best place for chicken “tendies”, juicer and better flavor than you’ll get at an expensive restaurant. Kudos to Malka and her team. Visit; you’ll leave happy.“

“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.“

“Lutong bahay style, pagkain panlasang pinoy must try. Babalikan ninyo ang sarap 👍👍👍“

“I find the space cute and the food very YUMMY😊. Personally I buy the Ddeok-Booki (I hope I spelled it right) with a Strawberry Lemonade & it’s worth the wait🙏🏽. My comfort food occasionally after work.

Vegetarian options: I’m TRYING to be vegetarian (commitment) however my family eats meat. If you don’t eat fish or chicken or meat overall half of the menu is meat however they have fries and rice and cheese sticks + more if you’re interested in supporting the business as a vegetarian.“
