Chicken Shops near Kearny, NJ

“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!“

“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.“

“It was our first time eating at Dave’s Hot Chicken. We ate at the Florence KY location. The food was good and the service was good!“

“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!!“

“The chicken here is out of this world! Even if you order using delivery services, it is worth every penny. The chicken is perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. The sliders are large, so one combo was like two meals. This is my new favorite restaurant!“

“Really delicious food! I came here to try the Polo Better known as Plov or بخاري as they call it in the Middle East.

Ended up trying the Noodles, Manta (better known as Mantu) Lamb Skewers. The manta was the best I ever had in the states! Everything was really delicious!

Since they didn’t have what I came for the chef came out with red tea, which is also really good. This is my go to restaurant whenever I am in the FIDI. I cannot recommend enough! This is one of my all time favorite restaurants in NYC.“

“The best chicken 🍗 ever, ever“

“I live in Florida and came up to visit my daughter in NJ. I wanted chicken so we stopped by the restaurant. The chicken and french fries were both freshly made and seasoned to perfection. I would definitely return on my next visit to New Jersey.“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“it's incredibly delicious 😍🔥“

“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“

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

“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“

“After trying much of NJ/NY KFCs, they are really one of the best Korean Fried Chicken place around the Tri-State. Super tender, juicy and flavorful, from the crust to the center. They are very generous with their portion and sauce as well. Really a hidden gem.“

“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!“

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 ordered from two good to go, which is an app that gives you discounted meals for less at the end of the night. They gave me liver which I’m not a fan of liver, but I gave it to a friend. I got potato salad. That was delicious a soup with pork in it and vegetables, rice and beans and a vegetable dish with okra and plantains. I will try out their fried chicken soon everything was packaged very good and the place looks very clean. A+

Parking: Very busy street and hard to find parking in“

“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 !“

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!!“

“This is my go to Chinese restaurant. As a vegan I don’t trust many Chinese restaurants will make the food vegan. They often include fish sauce, shrimp paste or some other unwanted seasoning, and with the language barrier it can be difficult to know for sure. This place does it right with good fresh food and lots of vegan choices including tofu dishes and many faux meat options. My favorite is Kung Po Tofu. Sooo good. Prices are very reasonable as well! Try this restaurant out. You won’t be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Check out their menu under Vegetables you’ll find the tofu dishes (my go to section) and under veggie meals you’ll see all the faux meat classics like sesame “chicken” or “beef” with broccoli… fresh and well prepared.

Dietary restrictions: This is a great place for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters too. Lots of faux meat options prepared with vegan ingredients. All food is fresh, prepared quickly and delivered without a delay in my experience.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place! Delicious 😋 food“

“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 🥹😭)“

“It's probably one of the best fast food chains in USA. Chickens are good, their chick-fil-a sauce is veryyy good.

They also have a very nice rewards program, enroll and earn additional benefits.

Staff is very friendly. I was very surprised by their positive attitude... This is not common in fast food restaurants.“

“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.“

We highly recomend it. They're doing a really good job.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent place, the attention of the Salvadoran lady 100/10 Friendly, attentive
