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!“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

“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!! ❤️“

“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.)“

“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!!!!!“

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

“So I was looking forward to try real korean fried chicken in a while , my previous experiences weren’t great ( and then I came across this little hidden gem in the middle of nowhere!
The place itself is nothing fine dining or fancy , simple , clean and to the point but the fried chicken was yum ! The owner was very nice and we ordered dubboki and a whole fried chicken with a choice of sauces , I definitely would recommend it and come back !
One tiny thing , please next time serve the starter before the chicken because dubboki was a tiny bit colder than I hoped“

“During our trip to NY, we stopped here and grabbed lunch. The line met us at the door but we got our food in under 3 mins due to our orders being taken in line and when we were at the cashier our food got handed to us while we were paying. We sat on the 2nd floor to dine and the restaurant was clean even though it was full during lunch time. The staff got our orders exact and the food was great. The restrooms are located on the second floor.

They have 3 floors at this location:
(First Floor)- Where you make your order and pay/Pick up orders online.
(Second Floor)- This is where you have the first option of dining and restrooms (No code needed).
(Third Floor)- Additional seating for dining.

Also, please note this restaurant is about a 8 min walk from the 9/11 memorial pools/museum, One World Observatory and the Oculus. So if you wanted to grab something before or after visiting this part of the city, this Chick-fi-la would hit the spot!“

“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.“

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

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

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“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“

“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.“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“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.“

“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!“

“friendly peoples like the food clean restaurant“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🥹😭)“

“Great place! Delicious 😋 food“

“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!!!

“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.“

“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.“

“This was my first time at Roselle Fried Chicken, and I have to give it a solid 10/10! The customer service was incredibly friendly, and the prices are unbeatable. I tried the combo meal and even grabbed some ice cream, both were great. They’ve got an impressive variety, making it a perfect spot for a late night bite. Definitely a great choice!“

“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 🤷🏾✌🏾💯😋😋“

“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!“

“The spicy chicken sandwich I had ordered wasn't even mildly spicy, was it?My fries were tasty and generously portioned. All I had ordered was the spicy chicken sandwich combo, but the wait seemed endless. I believe I was had to wait for twenty minutes.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 mean, it’s Popeyes! Sweet people working a tough job without much support. The space is big but most people seem to get takeout. I really only get the chicken tenders- sometimes the combo and sometimes just tenders but I have had the fried chicken sandwich and it’s been fab.“

“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!“
