50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Kearny

“My usual is a 10 piece dark meat (legs & thighs). I think this is the best fried chicken in town. Better than Popeyes and the other big chains. Prices have certainly gone up the last 3 years but that's because of inflation and supply chain disruptions.“

“So good!!!!!!!!! Must try! My favorite place in town!“

“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!! ❤️“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

“Edit: Owner contacted us to make things right and looked for ways to improve. Changing my review because thats how you do business and take care of your customers. Will look to come back to give it another try.

(Original: Pretty expensive for such small portions and mediocre food. Might have to bring out the scale, doubt it’s 10oz of meat.)“

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

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“Delicious food and friendly service. Top notch!“

“Apple 🍎 pies not tasty ....tenders & biscuits r best“

“Really enjoyed the food from Bloom Chicken.

The small boneless chicken was honestly huge and the chicken was super crispy. The spicy rice cakes were way better than I expected — especially since I don’t usually like rice cakes.

The only thing keeping this from a 5-star review is that it came with no radish, no dipping sauce, nothing on the side.

For $14 for a small order, I’d expect at least some radish, I’d also give up a few pieces of chicken for radish.

Also, it’s definitely more of a take-out spot — the covered patio is nice but not heated, therefore I ate my food in the car since it was cold.

Overall though, really solid food and an easy 4-star meal.“

“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!!!!!“

“El mejor lugar para comer es este al 100x1000“

“I had one of biggest experiences in this Chik-fil-A. I lost my wallet and send message on instagram. The employee was so nice, found it. I live in Brazil, im in Flórida and i Will return tomorrow. They send me my wallet by UPS and offered to pay the value of transportation. Thank you for the person who found and for employees from Chick-fil-A! 10000 stars“

“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! 👑“

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

“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!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“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.“

“Delicious food with fast services love it.the environment and employees are so nice and the lobby was so cleaned that time.I know one of the guy maybe kawsar or kaiser.he hooked me up as I'm new here.thank you Popeyes team.wanna keep coming again and again.“

“The pictures they advertise with has about 4 pieces of tenders but the sandwich is really 2 tenders but tasty and filling....... I also got the 5 piece and its worth it. Fries are tasty but floppy soft with a slight crunch (not bad but definitely not great like McDonald's) The biscuit is really good I'm just missing honey butter. Add 2 tenders for only $2 for each tender and you got another delicious sandwich..... Both the sandwich and tenders has a nice crunch, enough crunch to uncross Kash Patel's cockeye!“

“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!“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“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.“

“I’ve been going here since 2019 and have never once had a bad experience or felt disappointed with the food. The owners are very humble and down to earth people and treat you like family. The chicken fries are probably my #1 favorite thing on the menu. The quality of the chicken and sandwiches are top tier. If you’ve ever had a bad experience here or didn’t think the food was up to your standards, please talk to the owners. I know they’ll make it right.“

“I love the chicken and fries. I wish they delivered to Belleville. I would order more if they did.“

“Great taste clean place great service Recommended it“

“I ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Kabab through Uber Eats. After I ordered , I realized that I forgot to order Nan. So I called the restaurant and ask them that what can I do now. The person(probably the owner) replied , I will add Nan and whenever you visit, give me 2 Dollars. That was really a nice gesture which I will remember and must appreciate(along with the debt on me).
Talking about food, I had eaten many Biryanis in USA but it is one of the best real Pakistani biryani. Kababs were also fresh and tasty. I highly recommend those who want to have Halal and real Pakistani taste, must visit.“

“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.“

“Great place! Delicious 😋 food“

“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!“

“The Gyros here are amazing. I'm not sure what they're doing with their pizza dough, but the crust is probably the best I've ever tasted, and the food is reasonably priced as well. All the guys behind the counter are friendly and patient. It's 24 hours so show up whenever you're hungry and they'll have something ready for you.“

“For the people who are from Bangladesh, try all spice level without the reaper and you are all good. If you challenge yourself for the reaper then prepare a gallon of milk, cookies, chocolate and some cold fruits. (Speaking
from experience 🥹😭)“

“🙂 Es delicioso, más de 20 años y los sigo visitando siempre pido lo mismo pollito con arroz y aguadito lo mejor de lo mejor with Luis Abraham“

“Hidden gem! The food is simple fast food with a lot of variety and better ingredients than actual fast food. I don't recall if there was seating but it's a smaller place so I take my food to go. If there's anything to improve, I'd say using even better ingredients somehow but that could be too expensive or maybe updating the interior for a better atmosphere. Only negative I've encountered is that the fries weren't too crispy but that could just be for me. Personally I think it's still 5 stars! I got the chicken gyro. Affordable, delicious, and good quality food with friendly and kind staff! Thanks for the meal! 🙏❤️“

“friendly peoples like the food clean restaurant“

“First time trying the food here since it's nice having a chicken place in the neighborhood. Chicken was really good, not salty at all just quite oily. Do hope this was just a one off. Sides and biscuits were very good ! Very clean and the women behind the counter was very nice ! Definitely will give it another try !“

“Super clean and friendly employees! Love it“

“chicken magican has the best wings around here and the hot sauce is 🔥🔥🔥“

“My husband and I drove all the way from Jackson Hole Wyoming and stop by to grab a bite, Food is excelent, everything is clean and looks healthy, staff is super friendly and helpful and the taste is top notch, American and Latin American food too. We highly recomend it. They're doing a really good job.“

“I’ve been twice so far and the customer service is immaculate! The food is delicious and seasoned nicely. It’s great for a quick stop to pick up lunch and dinner. It’s even better for a romantic date night! The music and ambiance is perfect for whatever occasion.“

“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.“

“Love the unique flavor of the chicken, one of my favorites places to eat! The rice and beans are amazing. But with the St. Jude promotion make this place a very special and unique one. Thank you Pollo Campero for dedicating this effort for the much need Ángels of St. Jude.“

“If haven’t yet tried this place you MUST do so cause it’s sooooo good… omg it’s JERSEY CITY best wings place to go to…. DONT MISS OUT!!!
They even started selling SEAFOOD BOILS!!!! OMG!!! It can’t get any better… Thank you for coming into our community…“

“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!“

“Omg this place taste better than any expensive restaurant...they have chicken and fish or chicken and shrimp combos starting at 9.99 and it comes with a free can soda...the food is seasoned and fries to perfection and always hot...I will recommend King Fried Chicken to anyone before I recommend Ruth Chris,...good and inexpensive...who can beat that 🤷🏾✌🏾💯😋😋“

“Great food 🥘 fresh always and generous portions!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“
